Zany Zoo Fun Fold

 Zany Zoo Triple Panel Z Fold Card

That's a lot of Z'S!!! 

This fun fold card looks tricky but it is very easy to make. It is also a very addicting fun fold to make! 

Some of the Designer Series Papers that I have used are retired, but any DSP you have on hand would be perfect! 

I saw this fun fold on Rose Coleman's Blog and I just had to make some! She has an amazing video tutorial on the fun fold, with her permission here is the video tutorial:

Isn't that Llama just the cutest! This card looks big but it fits into a regular A2 envelope. 

The flowers and the sentiment flag label are all part of the Zany Zoo Die Set. This die set has 20 dies! That's a big set!

I used the Scalloped Contours Dies for the art panel. They are probably one of my most used die sets.

For this baby card I used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. It is available in the current May 2023-April 2024. The embossing folder I used is one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. They are an On-Line Exclusive product. The beautiful ribbon is from the Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack. It is so easy to tie bows with this soft, silver edged ribbon. This combo includes Azure Afternoon, Bubble Bath and Lemon Lolly ribbons. To shop for any of these products just click on the images in the "Product List" at the end of this post.

For the baby cards I used the Easter Bunny Stamp Set and the Bunny Punch. It is a current product in the 2023-2024 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue. While some products I used are retired, there are lots of other options and Stampin' Up! products available!

Another design with retired DSP. I used the Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems for the middle of the flowers. To make them black I simply used a black sharpie marker. You could use a Black Stampin' Blends but I didn't want to damage the tip. 

I hope I have inspired you today! 

Happy Stamping and creating!

In The Moment Card

 In The Moment For Freshly Made Sketches 

It's time for another sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. 

I have had this stamp set, "In The Moment" for quite some time but had never used it! My BFF Sue encouraged me to give it a try and now I love it!! She always knows right! LOL

Be sure to check out all the other participants for this weeks challenge.

Freshly Made Sketches #589

Here is my card.

Directions:

Cut a Thick Basic White Card Stock base at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4".

Emboss the card base front using the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. I used the floral one.

Cut a strip of Lost Lagoon C/S to 1 3/8" x 5 1/2" and a piece of the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper to 1" x 5 1/2". Attach these two together then attach to the card front.

Attach some Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon to the card base in the center. I went back and forth a few times anchoring it with some Tear And Tape.

Die cut a large Basic White C/S circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Stamp the girl in the window using Memento Black Ink.

Color the girl using Stampin' Blends. I used: Pool Party, Soft Sea Foam, Nude, Grey Granite, Crumb Cake and Misty Moonlight.

Attach the circle using Dimensionals to the card front.

Die cut a flag label using Stylish Shapes Dies and Basic White C/S. Stamp the sentiment using Memento Black Ink. Attach using Dimensionals to the card front.

I hope I have inspired you today!

Happy Stamping and Creating!
