THAT was not a Wow for him, believe me.
Anyway, things are slowly getting back to normal in the studio and today, I'm headed out for a few hours with my friend Lissa. Just a little shopping r & r, nothing big, but we always manage to have a good time! I need to find a dressier coat for the winter. When we left for church on Sunday, it was 35 degrees outside and I realized that all I had were my winter parka and my Alaska Cruise jacket - not great choices for nicer clothes. So, that's on my list today.
But I bet you'd like to see the next WOW! card that the stampers did this weekend, wouldn't ya?
Ok, here ya go:

The Z-Fold is made with a piece of cardstock that's 4 1/4" x 11" long. It's scored at 2 3/4" and again at 5 1/2" down the long side. Fold it up and it looks like a "Z".
I call this card Quilted Christmas because of the top left portion of the Z-Fold - the Frostwood Lodge designer paper and Crumb Cake Cardstock are adhered to the Cherry Cobbler cardstock and then run through the Big Shot with the Petals-A-Plenty embossing folder. I then rubbed Crumb Cake ink all over it to give it the appearance in real life of a worn quilt.
Actually all the cardstock pieces on this card are sponged with Crumb Cake - Hey, I had no one to stop me! What's a girl to do?
Here's a close up of the embellishments:

The birds are colored with Stampin' Write markers - Garden Green and Early Espresso, stamped and then punched out with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch. It's layered on a 1 3/8" Circle Punch and adhered by the bow. Glitter was optional, but I used it - why not?
Here's the opened up version:

The flap is Whisper White (1" x 3 3/4") and Cherry Cobbler (1 1/4" x 4 1/2"). I scored the Cherry Cobbler piece at 4", leaving a 1/2" piece to fold under and glue in place with Tombow Multi.
It's a pretty easy element to add, and I love the grand way it opens up and extends the card. I added my inside greeting from Many Merry Messages to the inside of the flap with Garden Green ink. That leaves plenty of room to write a message and even add a school or family photo to the inside.
I liked this card a LOT and you'll be seeing a few more versions of it on the blog coming up soon. If you are subscribed to my Holiday Helper Newsletter, you already received 4 more ideas for this Z-Fold card - including a Valentine's version to give you a real head start!
Here's a couple of the products I used in creating this card:
