Easter Promise, Wildly Happy double zig zag panel

It just had to be done! I’d already made an Easter card project for today, but what with the surprise that Stampin’ Up! sprung on us by releasing the Ornate Garden Suite products a month early, I had to make another in the Ornate Garden Specialty DSP of course and impatiently had to wait for it to be delivered before I could proceed!

Here’s the front, which looks like something quite ordinary until you open it to reveal…..

…a double zig zag panel inside. The bunnies from Wildly Happy were just perfect for the Easter theme.

You’re probably wondering where does one sign? I solved the problem by adding a piece at the back .

Press play to see how this seemingly complicated card came together. I’ve included a cutting guide to make it easier for you so you can separate the sections and work on them methodically. I love card that look challenging, but when it actually comes down to the making, it’s not really difficult at all! Just a little patience with all the pieces to cut and glue, but I think you’ll find it’s really worth it!

1. Position (A) in trimmer, short side on top – align right edge at 1 ½” and cut verticallly from 2″ down to 10″ and repeat cut so it mirrors your previous cut between the first and last scored lines.
2. Rotate DSP (A) with long side on top, align DSP at 2″ in cutting groove, cut from 1 ½” to 4 ½” (between the horizontal cut lines. Rotate DSP 180 degrees and repeat. Remove this centre section to create an aperture leaving a 2″ border all round.
3. Long side on top, align left edge of DSP at 3″, create ½” incisions top from 1″ to 1 ½”, and from 4 ½” to 5″ so that (B) can be inserted so that it will concertina in the opposite direction to the main card base.
4. Align left edge of DSP to 5″ and repeat step 3.
5. Then align left edge of DSP to 7″ and repeat step 3.
6. Align left edge of DSP at 9″ and repeat step 3.
