Stress Free Cardmaking Summit - 2025 - Silhouette Secrets-Swift Creek Customs

Thank you for joining me at the Stress Free Card Making Summit 2025 to Zensational Z Fold Cards! I hope you picked up a few new tips or inspiration ideas!

A Z Fold card featuring an orange and white floral design with the word 'hello' in a stylish black font on the front.

Here are a couple additional photos of this card style with different elements.

These 2 cards were created using the printed sentiments I’ve provided as a download below.

A display of two Z Fold cards featuring colorful floral backgrounds with 'Happy Birthday!' and 'Hello Friend' sentiments.

Use stamps along with patterned papers. If stamping the sentiment, I’d recommend stamping before you assemble the card to make it a bit easier for a solid stamp image.

Z Fold birthday card featuring a classic truck illustration with a star-patterned background and a sentiment that reads 'Happy Birthday, Not Old... Just a Classic'.

Use digital kits to fill the cut file with patterned papers and add additional print and cut elements. The card below was created using the FQB Hello You digital kit by Nitwit Collections. All pieces are print and cut from the digital kit except the white cardstock base parts.

A Z Fold birthday card featuring blue floral embellishments and a decorative border, with the text 'best birthday wishes!' displayed prominently.

Here is a look at the print and cut file for the card created above. I added a digital pattern to the panel pieces and then used elements from the FQB Hello You kit to add the sentiment and extra flower pieces.
