Hello and welcome aboard our Close To My Heart Australasian Zoe Blog Hop. If you have arrived here from Designs by Marguerite, then you are in the right place. If you landed here by accident, no problem, please join in by following the link at the end of this post. 

Zoe is a fresh and fabulous new Paper Collection created by Close To My Heart released this month.  The range includes the Zoe Paper Packet, Zoe Workshops on the Go Scrapbooking Kit, Zoe Assortment and Zoe Complements which work on their own, or together, to create stunning colour coordinated scrapbook, card making and off-the page projects quickly and easily.

Today, I would like to share with you a Double Z-Fold Card that I have made featuring  paper from the new Zoe Paper Packet.  The Paper Packet includes 6 sheets of double-side B&T (Background and Texture) Paper and 6 sheets of coordinating Cardstock.  The colours featured in the Zoe Paper Packet include Sweet Leaf, Canary, Glacier, Slate, Sorbet, Whisper and White Daisy.  

I selected the stamp set Shower Flowers to use on this card because I think it goes beautifully with Zoe's fresh, fun colours.  I chose ink colours from the Whimsy Colour Family to coordinate with the Zoe colour palette, stamping the flowers in Thistle, Pixie, Crystal Blue, Sorbet and Canary.  I used Sweet Leaf to stamp the leaves and I stamped the middle of the flowers with Cocoa.  I think the colours work together nicely to create a card filled with floral sweetness!  

The decorative branches were stamped straight onto the White Daisy Cardstock using Sweet Leaf.  The flowers were stamped on scrap White Daisy Cardstock, then cut out using my amazing Non-stick Micro-tip Scissors and adhered using tape runner, Thin 3-D Foam Tape and 3-D Foam Tape to create a variety of layers to adorn the front of the card. 

The base of the card was created using a 6" x 12" piece of White Daisy Cardstock scored at 2", 4", 8" and 10".  I used my Bone Folder to create crisp folds along these score lines and then adhered Zoe B&T Paper and Glacier Cardstock to the 5 panels (see below for measurements).  

I wanted the inside to be as sweet as the outside, so I stamped the leaves directly on the White Glacier Cardstock and then cut and adhered the flower images using tape runner and Thin 3-D Tape before adhering it to the centre panel.  

I used the following ingredients to create this Double Z-fold card:
