Can you believe it’s August! I know time seems to be flying by. Even though it’s August, I’m still sharing cards from the July card class featuring the Zany Zoo Bundle. This week’s card is a Zany Zoo Birthday Card. The whimsical card is appropriate for all ages but would be especially good for those hard to create preteen/teen cards. At least, for me those are the ages that challenge me when cardmaking. As in my last post featuring the Zany Zoo Bundle, the coordinating Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper is used for the characters. And since the turtle has the microphone (singing Happy Birthday), the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder creates a perfect base for the singer and his dancers. Below you’ll find cut dimensions and a video to help you recreate this fun card.
It’s A Zany Zoo Birthday Card Cut Dimensions:
Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ (score/fold at 4-1/4″ for card base)
Basic Black Cardstock: 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ (layering panel); scrap (die cut)
Basic White Cardstock: (2) 5-1/4″ x 4″ (embossing & card interior); scrap (sentiment)

The fun characters on this card make me smile!

If you’re looking for a fun stamp set, look no further! The Zany Zoo Bundle from Stampin’ Up! is it. And to make the fun even better, add the coordinating Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper and you have a multitude of project possibilities. For today’s project, the card is titled “forest friends” for the skunk and bird image. This image has a stamp but for the card the coordinating die and designer series paper image were used. You’ll find the sentiment in the Artistically Inked Stamp Set or select your favorite sentiment. To embellish the envelope, the image is stamped and colored using Stampin’ Blends.

Today’s card has a “beachy vibe” using the Circle Sayings Bundle to create a thank you card. The card is one that was featured in last month’s class featuring the Circle Sayings Bundle. I had lots of fun creating different cards using the bundle but I think this card is one of my favorites. It’s also a great card design to use for creating multiples. Just stamp the design multiple times and color with the Stampin’ Blends. I like to stamp multiple images to have ready for coloring when watching tv or when I have a few minutes to spare. It helps avoid feeling rushed to finish a card. By having components prepped, components can be pulled together for finishing the card at a later date. Give my method a try!
Cut Dimensions:
Pebbled Path Cardstock: 5-1/2″ x 11″, score/fold at 4-1/4″ for card base
3″ x 3″ die cut Basic White Cardstock: (2) 4″ x 5-1/4″; 2-3-4″ x 2-3/4″
