Welcome to week twenty-five of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we’re featuring Fresh Freesia, a pink/lilac hue from the Subtles family and I’ve made a double Z fold card. Here it is lying flat and tied with a bow.
And here it is when opened up.
I was inspired to create this card by these beautiful DSP designs from the Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper. I love the colour combination of Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel and Fresh Freesia in this watercolour sky!
Here’s the metric template I use when making double Z fold cards – for this card I cut the Z fold band at 5 x 28cm before folding it.
I’ve used Stampin’ Blends in Garden Green, Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel and Fresh Freesia to colour in stamped and die cut coordinating images from the Garden Meadow Bundle.
The sentiments on the front and inside of the card are onto labels cut from the Nesting dies. I elongated the inside sentiment panel using the partial die cut technique.
How cute is this wheelbarrow full of flowers?
To make the card lie flat when closed and add “pizzazz” I’ve tied an extravagant bow of Iridescent Ribbon around the Z fold.
The Fresh Freesia gems from the Tinsel Gems Three-Pack are finishing touch for both the front panel and the inside panel.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Di Furniss I can’t wait to see what Di has made this week!

I love the way you’ve added stamped flowers to the inside label and a die cut to the outer. This stamp set is perfect with lots of little images to place on the panels. Very pretty.
This is such a pretty card, Cathy, these are my colours for sure! This fancy fold design is perfect to showcase these beautiful patterned papers and the stsmp set is a wonderful addition. Love it!
So so gorgeous Cathy. I adore your double Z fold with the meandering meadows DSP and stamped images. Beautifully coloured images and gotta love an extravagant bow. xxx
Oooo pretty card Cathy. Great fancy fold and the flowers in the wheelbarrow are very sweet.
Love the colours in that DSP as well Catherine, and like you those clouds look perfect for your garden scene card.
