A simple card can be jazzed up pretty quick with an unexpected fold.  The Sweet Sugarplum card base is 11″ x 4 1/4″ and scored at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″.  All you have to do to make the Z-fold is fold it in half and then fold the front back on itself.  Ta-da you’ve got yourself a Z-fold card.  From there I added some Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper and the Sweet Sugarplum Ruched Ribbon.  Next I stamped the sentiment from Layering Love and layered the squares cut from the Layering Squares Framelits.  Even the cute scalloped edged square came from the framelits.  Finally the sentiment layers were attached to the card front with dimensional only along the left edge.
