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!

(New Post) Happy Easter Card

 Happy Easter Card

Here is a simple but adorable Easter card using the Bunny Punch! This punch will be available again mid May. 

While that is too late for Easter, it's a great punch to have for baby cards!

I had to use the Fresh Freesia Card Stock as purple is my favorite colour and it's retiring soon!! 

Directions:

Cut a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Fresh Freesia Card Stock and score it at 4 1/4" for your card base.

Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White C/S and emboss it using the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder. Attach this layer to the card base.

Cut a 2" x 5" piece of the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. Flag cut one end and attach to the layer using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Die cut a Basic White C/S Circle using the Layering Dies or Stylish Shapes Dies. Attach to the card base using Dimensionals. 

Punch out a bunny using the same Designer Series Paper as your flagged strip. Attach the bunny to the Basic White C/S circle using Dimensionals. 

Stamp the floral sprig using Memento Black Ink onto Basic White C/S. Color using Fresh Freesia and Mint Macaron Stampin' Blends. Fussy cut out and attach to the bunny using Dimensionals.  

Die cut a Basic White C/S tag from the Waves Dies. Stamp a sentiment using Memento Black Ink. Change the sentiment for a baby card, thank you card, birthday card etc! Feed some Fresh Freesia Ribbon through one of the tag holes and tie into a bow. Attach this label to the card front using Dimensionals. 

Add some Rhinestones to finish off the card.

For the inside I simply stamped a bunny using Fresh Freesia Ink. 

Happy Stamping and Creating!
