This is my very first Z Fold card and I'm in love! It's such a fun card, I'm inspired to try some other fancy folds.
The patterned paper I used is a digital print from the Shades of Black & White paper kit by Pickled Potpourri Designs.
If you're new to hybrid crafting, matte photo paper or matte printer paper + using the photo printing setting on your printer is going to be your best friend!
For digital stamps I prefer a heavier weight paper and use matte photo paper. For patterned papers or ephemera pieces I really like Epson's Presentation paper, it's a 27lb. weight paper perfect for layering.
