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!

Zany Zoo Happy Birthday Card

 Zany Zoo Happy Birthday Card

It was our Grandsons 7th birthday recently so I needed a super cute card! I immediately reached for the Zany Zoo Bundle, I knew it was the perfect set to design a card for him.

Directions:

I started with Parakeet Party Card Stock cut to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4" for the card base.

Using Basic White C/S, die cut the largest of the Radiating Stitches Dies rectangle.

Using the Blending Brushes, add some Parakeet Party Ink to the bottom of the rectangle and Balmy Blue Ink to the top of the rectangle. Start off adding a very light layer, then apply more ink until you are happy with the results. 

Die cut some clouds using Balmy Blue C/S and some trees using Garden Green C/S. I also sponged a bit of Balmy Blue Ink onto the clouds.

Stamp the alligator/bike in Memento Black Ink and the balloons from the raccoon onto Basic White C/S. Die cut out. You don't need all of the raccoon, just the balloons.

Colour the alligator/bike and balloons using Stampin' Blends. I used: Real Red, Black, Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Parakeet Party and Old Olive. 

Stamp the sentiment in Memento Black Ink onto Basic White C/S. Flag cut one end.

Attach the alligator/bike using Dimensionals. Tuck the balloons behind the alligator and use Dimensionals to attach them.

Add the clouds and trees using Dimensionals. 

Attach the sentiment using Dimensionals.

I hope you liked todays fun card!!

Happy Stamping and Creating!
