Monkey Love Z Fold Tutorial!

 Hello, the last Wednesday of the month is always a Tutorial at Catch The Bug, so today I get to show you this fun fold! My Friend taught me this, and from a bit of searching around I think it's called a Z Fold card. 

I started my card with the pieces below. The brown base piece is 4.25" x 5.5", the pink piece is 4" x 10.5" and designer paper for the front, 3.75" x 2-3/8"

I'm having trouble with my camera, so the next picture isn't very clear, but I scored this piece at 2-5/8" and 5.25"

 then fold like the picture below. I also embossed the end with the spots and dots embossing folder.

 For my card front, I used Monkey Love-Big Heart from Bugaboo Stamps. I actually made this for my Niece for her Birthday, I thought it went nicely with the jungle lego set we got her!

 I had this image in stamp form from Totally Stampalicious days, so I stamped him twice on white cardstock and once on designer paper for the heart.  This can easily be done with the digital image as well. I coloured him with copics. Paper pieced the heart, cut the tail out of one image and glued it on and then cut the head out and popped it up.

You could also make this Z Fold card without the base, so to make an A2 size card you need to start with a piece 4.25" x 11" and score at 2.75" and 5.5"

It's a fun easy card, I hope you give it a try,

Have a Great Day!

Baby Blog Hop...Congratulations Min!

Congratulations Min and Hubby Glenn on the anticipated arrival of your little bundle of joy, I couldn't be happier for you!

Being a Parent is the most rewarding experience ever, filled with a life-time of Love...and dirty diapers, but at least that's temporary! LOL

Resist the urge to let your baby fall asleep in your arms at night, this is something I learned the hard way! With my first Daughter I was afraid to put her in the big crib by herself and wait for her to fall asleep, but with my second, we picked a bedtime and put her in her crib, and guess what, she did fall asleep! This gave us some time together at night and also allowed her to be comfortable falling asleep on her own.

For my card I used the AKV Baby Diapers from Bugaboo Stamps. I copied it twice and cut out two diapers and the powder bottle to pop up. 

You should have started the Hop at The Catch The Bug Blog. And if you started at the beginning you should have arrived from Kathy Curry's Blog!

Now it's time to head to the next stop which is Lola Cordova's Blog!

Looking forward to see pictures of the little one when he/she arrives!
