It was my turn as our Featured Artist and I made a Z fold baby card.

All of my measurements are listed below.

My coworker and friend is expecting her very first grandchild.
I decided to make an ABC, 123 WWBB card. (What Will Baby Be?)

Her son and his wife will be finding out later this month and I know how excited she is to find out.

I just love all of the dies from Art Impressions. The mini dies are some of my favorites and fit so well with the new letter and number dies.

For all of the scoring I did, I used my Martha Stewart scoreboard. This helps me get crisp lines on my card folds.

Joel's new papers were so perfect for the card that I envisioned.

This is a pretty straight forward card so I didn't take many pictures of the process. It's really just about having the measurements.

For the white card base I measured cardstock out to be 8 5/8" long x 5 1/2" high/wide.

I then scored the white cardstock at 2 1/8" and then again at 4 1/4".

Next, I cut all of my panels.

The Teal panel was made using the 2nd largest die from the double stitched rectangle die set. 
The gingham insert page measured 4 3/4" x 3 1/2".
The yellow matte around those two panels measured 5 1/8" x 3 15/16".

For the panels on the smaller Z sections, these are the measurements.

Yellow cardstock: 5 1/8" x 1 3/4"

Teal paper: 4 3/4" x 1 3/8"

Gingham paper: 4 5/8" x 1 1/4"

I hope you like my card. I can't wait to see what you create using letter and number dies.
