Hi Everyone, Anet here today and welcome to my second inspiration post this month for the Couture Creations Blog.

I have created an Upright Z Fold Card with the new releases

4. Die-cut Kahlua Cardstock with Modern Essentials Cut, Foil and Emboss Nesting Circle Die. Ensure that adhesive is just on the top portion of the circle and adhere onto the middle of the card front.

5. Cut Kahlua Cardstock to 8cm x 12cm and Butterfly Garden Pattern Paper 03B to 8.4cm x 12.4cm. Adhere pattern paper onto front panel.
