Make a Winter Z Fold card with a Christmas theme for your family and friends with dies made by Brass and Bliss.

I made this winter Z fold card to highlight a pretty Christmas house with a truck full of presents and a Christmas tree.  I used the  Brass and Bliss  Truck Front and Back, Winter Fall Truck Add On, House, Snow Accessories for House, Cardinals, Half Tree, Evergreen Trees, Deckle Hills and Splatter Background. You will see in the pictures below how simple it is to assemble using The Paper Cut Z Fold Box Kit.

Assemble the Z Fold

• Begin by attaching snowfall background layers to the card base panels using double stick tape.
  • You need to cut two 2.50″ x 4.00″ layers for the left front and “side” and one 5.25″  x 4.00″ layer for the background.
• Now take one band and use the Deckle Hills die to create two snowy layers (once the piece is bisected you have two long strips with the same style cut edge). It is helpful if you do NOT divide the band evenly in half. If you cut the band at roughly 1/3 down you will end up with two pieces at different heights which will look spectacular on your card!

• PRO TIP: I switched ends of the die, lined it up over the first cut, secured it in place with masking tape and cut to create a seamless cut.

• In case your die cut is a tiny bit off in the center you can smooth out the cut line with your snips.

• Fold at the pre-scored lines and apply double stick all the way across the back of the band with two short folds on the left side and attach it directly to the card base. PRO TIP: Start with the “side” panel and adhere the die cut layer there first, then attaching the front and the background; if you can keep the card partially folded as you press down the adhesive, this will help you strip get around the corners more easily.
• Fold and apply double stick tape to both ends of the second snow layer band, attach the 5.50″ end of the layer to the lest side of the card base, fold it in and attach to the right side of the base to create the box.  Note:  I failed to get pictures when I was assembling the card.  The two pictures below show the assembly of adding the box section to the base as well as the inserts in the box.

• Use the Deckle Hills die to also cut the top of all the inserts so they match the bands and create that lush snowy look.
• Fold the ends of the inserts, attach double stick tape to both ends and attach inside the box.  NOTE – This is an uncut insert – I wanted you to see where and how it inserts into the box area. 
• Repeat adding three more inserts.

Build Your Choice of  Scene for Your Z Fold Box Card

I loved adding all the wonderful die cut elements to my card.  Just imagine how many different themed die cuts you could use to build any kind of Z fold card scene, whether snowy like this one or for spring, summer or fall.  Check out my Z Fold Card Category to see all of the different themed cards I’ve made.

This Z fold card has so much detail both in the elements and from the way I modified the pieces in the kit. To be honest, it took a while to make this but that’s only because I love adding more and more tiny touches that bring it to life. It’s such a fun card to make!
