WOYWW 384 and card making

Welcome to Wednesday!  WOYWW is my favorite time of the week recently!  I really enjoy showing my desk and the projects I have been working on over the past week.  If you haven't checked out WOYWW this week is the week to do so!  Julia has all the details on her blog Stamping Ground and how to link up to WOYWW here!

My desk doesn't look much different then in the past weeks except I have been busy working on some cards and a 3-D project you can read about here.   Here is a picture if you don't want to go to the previous post!

 My desk…still a mess!  I made a couple more Halloween cards and the second one is under the pile of scrap paper to the left!  I haven't used the witch set yet but it is out there cause that is my next card!

The card on the desk is the very first Z-fold card I have ever made.  I am not so for sure that I like the process/technique at all but a couple of the swaps I am in wanted Z-fold cards this month…so I did it!  Whine, whine, whine, whine…guess that is the reason behind swaps and challenge isn't it.  It takes you out of your comfort zone and makes you try something different.  Here is a picture of the card close up!

 I had difficulty getting it to lay down enough to take a photo so I just stood it up.  Card stock is from Close to My Heart.  Stamp set is one of the new die and stamp sets I got from Michael's the other day.  The moon and black dots are some bling left overs from a set.  I stamped the ghosts but they didn't show up with white Stazon so I used Perfect pearls and painted them in.  Nice translucent effect!  Pumpkins are more Perfect Pearls.

The second card I made is another Z-fold card but this time I went a bit more colorful and used some paper from a new paper pad I bought last week.  I went to Michael's looking for a stamp set and saw these paper pads on sale for $5 and just couldn't live without this one.  It is a Day of the Dead pad loaded with all sorts of bright and different papers.  I made two of this card because I plan on sending to someone as a Thank You card!  

Here is a side view of this card.

 See why it is called a Z-fold?  I don't know why I had so much problem with it cause now it seems easy peasy!  There are a lot of different types so look around and find one you like.

Okay I am going to sign off and get to bed.  I have 2 doctors appointments tomorrow.  The first is at 9:30 so I can't be up late tonight.  Probably won't link this post until after I get up.  Have a great week and I will try to make it around to every ones desk this week.
