A Thanksgiving Z-fold for Craft Roulette #241

Hey all - Happy Monday! I finally got a chance to watch Craft Roulette #241 which aired Friday night while I went to a party. Here's my creation:

Supplies: Paper - Recollections yellow 65lb cardstock;

Sunny Studio Critter Country; scraps

Dies - Impression Obsession Patchwork Turkey (retired);

Simon Says Stamp Holiday Baking Essentials

Other - Paper Studio Thanksgiving ephemera and stickers;

foam tape; Taylored Expressions Sweet Corn, Latte, & Hot Fudge inks

Host Mary Gunn FUNN had Jessica Vasher (Jessica Vasher Designs) as her guest. Jessica has been cardmaking for 10 years and posts process videos whenever she can. The wheel gave us another set of interesting parameters to use on our cards:

• Project - Z-fold card: I formed a double Z-fold from cardstock.
• Colors - Scarecrow: Yellow & brown, plus orange and blue commonly for clothes.
• Element - Bake: Baked pie, plus there's a rolling pin on another section of the Z.
• Random - Crinkle Inkle: This is what Mary Gunn calls inking with something crinkled, be it plastic wrap or paper. On the front Z panel I crinkle inkled the whole thing with some plastic packaging & 3 different TE inks.

I watched a YouTube video on creating a triple Z-fold. Decided I only wanted two layers. The instructor didn't give the dimensions of her 2nd and 3rd layers but you could really use however deep you want them. Length always starts at 11 inches to fold to an A2 size. I tried some TE Sweet Corn cardstock but it was too heavy. Found a lighter weight yellow in a Michael's pack. Back layer is 4.25x11" long scored at 2.75 and 5.5". Top layer I cut to about 3x11"; scored at 4.25 and 7". Here are a few other views:

I had just started my Thanksgiving cards by assembling a bunch of IO's Patchwork Turkey, sadly retired. They have another turkey die set but I think Mr. Patchwork is cuter. I decided I could make a turkey work for my Craft Roulette project, thereby getting a Thanksgiving card finished! I only make 6 so it should go quickly but I'll keep the rest to normal A2s.

That's it for today, friends - thanks for visiting!!
