The card today is a pocket card of sorts. I am calling it a “tuck card” because a small card tucks in the behind the corner. It features the Zany Zoo products. I have neglected these fun products for too long.
The Card
This is a fun Birthday card for any age. The idea came from Karen Titus. I love a simple Fun Fold card. The card base is Basic White that is a quarter sheet of card stock. The layer, which is an opposite side of the Zoo Crew DSP, is 4 X 5 1/4. Next I cut a square of Basic White 3 1/2 X 3 1/2 with a square of matching DSP at 3 1/4 X 3 1/4. Both of these are cut on the diagonal. You layer one White and one DSP and save the other two for another card. Then add the diagonal piece to the bottom left corner of the card. Only adhere the left side and bottom!
Here is a photo of the real card.
The small card is a card base of Pool Party that is 3 1/4 X 4 1/4. And the DSP is 3 X 8 and folded at 4. Layer the DSP folded piece onto the Pool Party. I added the Basic White inside with a strip of DSP at the bottom. The inside White is 2 3/4 X 3 3/4.
The Bundle
The Zany Zoo Bundle is an awesome one. Not only are their great animal stamps and sentiments, but Dies that cut them out. Plus there are some additional Dies for added layers and scene creations. Also, and one of the best parts, the animal Dies will cut some of the animals from the Zoo Crew DSP. Both sentiments are stamped from the stamp set. The front sentiment is then Die Cut with the banner Die included in the Bundle.
DSP
This Zany Zoo Designer Series Paper is so fun! I love the animals and their different actions they are doing. There is not a die for the elephant on the card front. But I wanted an unusual focal point on the front of the card. Since the DSP is thinner than card stock, I cut the elephant from the DSP leaving a wide area around her and then glued her to a scrap of White. While the glue was drying I finished coloring her with Stampin’ Blends. Once the glue had dried, I fussy cut the elephant and then added her to the front of the card with the banner. It was really quick and easy to do.
To finish the card I simply added a trio of Classic Matte Dots in Black. I felt they would show the best with all of the White and Black of the card.
