Double Z Fold Masculine Birthday Card

This fun fold is a different take on Z fold cards I have made in the past.  Instead of a 1" strip along the top or bottom of the card, there is an extra Z fold panel attached to the middle of the card - thus the term "double Z fold"

Below is a picture of the card in the closed position and a view from the top down to reveal the double Z.

When open it looks like this.

The card base is a 4 1/4 by 11" piece of Chocolate Chip card stock scored at  5 1/2 and the front half again at 2 3/4".  The card is folded in half and then the second scored section is folded back on itself to form the Z.

On the back section I added a 5 1/4 by 4" layer of Very Vanilla, with a 5 by 3 3/4" piece of DSP  (pipe pattern) adhered on top of that.

On the front piece was added a 4 by 2 1/2" layer of Very Vanilla card stock layered with some 3 3/4 by 2 1/4" of DSP (herringbone pattern.

The middle section was left blank and a sentiment was stamped on the back piece.

In the center is the "double Z" piece, which is comprised of an 8 by 3" panel of Very Vanilla card stock scored at 2 3/4" and 5" and then accordion folded.  On the front part of this panel I added a 2 1/2 by 2 3/4" piece of Chocolate Chip card stock and along the outside edges of this I adhered  halves of a Tag punchies (again in the Herringbone pattern).  I don't know if you can see it on the close up below.

 Using the Stamparatus I stamped one of the sentiments from the Truly Tailored stamp set and punched it out.  It was added to the center of the front piece using dimensionals.

Two buttons were  threaded with Linen thread and adhered with glue dots.
