Welcome to Creative Creases Challenge #60. We hope to inspire you to try a new fold and share it in the challenge.  Thank you to everyone who participated in challenge #59. If you haven’t joined the challenge yet, give it a try. You don’t even need a blog!

My project today is called a “Pop-Up Z-Fold”. Don’t let it scare you. The hardest part are the cuts. Lot’s of layers.  This one is easy to simplify and make your own. Just reduce or omit the mats. 

I can’t get enough of this suite of products. It truly is Irresistible. The small designs on the 6″ x 6″ paper are perfect for cardmakers.
