For the card above -

I made a z-fold card by scoring a sheet of 300gsm card - https://amzn.to/4hTKP7Y

I used my Trusty Scoreboard to score the lines - https://amzn.to/4pbXHsQ (it has instructions with it)

The card when placed horizontally was score in half to make an A5 Card blank then the front was scored in half again and folded back to make the z-fold front.

I teamed the Hedgehog sheet up with the Avocado faux textured paper for this one for a touch of zesty lime, you can find the backing paper download here: https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/sHaYQ

Gold Mirror card was used for matting and layering, my go to is this bundle from amazon its a great price for the pack size - https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/sHaYQ

The hedgehog topper sheet can be found here: https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/H9dbS

The topper, pearl and mirror card mat was cut with this nesting die set available on amazon - https://amzn.to/4oGWOIT

I added the little sentiment (which is also included on the Hedgehog sheet)

🌿 Let’s talk printing paper magic! I was asked recently what paper I love to use, so this week I’m sharing some of my favourite printable paper packs — perfect for bringing your crafts to life!

A4 160gsm super smooth - https://amzn.to/49ij0nQ - i use this for toppers, backing papers and the fussy cut sheets

A4 Printable Card stock - Plain 300gsm - https://amzn.to/4hTKP7Y - i used this for toppers, making my own card blanks, printing sturdy card fronts and sturdy panels for cards.

A4 Printable Hammered Cardstock - it has a lovely watercolour finish - 300gsm - https://amzn.to/4oWHZCd this has the same uses as the plain card but sometimes its nice to have a nice texture.

A4 Photo paper - 200gsm https://amzn.to/4p7AdVu perfect for toppers and papers when i want a nice glossy look
