Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo Adventure Birthday Card

A skunk bird watching, a lion toasting a marshmallow and a pig hiking…Oh My! I used the fun Zany Zoo Bundle and Zoo Crew 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to create today’s card. The Zany Zoo bundle and Zoo Crew paper is packed full of fun critters and makes great cards for children…and the young at heart!

The reverse side of the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper is all black and white prints which are perfect for coloring. And that’s exactly what I did! I colored a small flower print black and white panel using Lemon Lime Twist, Bubble Bath and Lemon Lolly. The panel was adhered to a black mat then this unit was added to the front of a Lemon Lime Twist card base.

I used a 2-3/8″ circle punch to punch out two white circles and I used the 2nd to largest die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set to cut out two black circles. I also used the dies from the Zany Zoom Dies set to cut out four pine trees from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock, and I cut out the skunk from the designer series paper. The pine trees were adhered to one of the white circles using glue and the skunk was added to this circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The circle was then adhered to one of the black circles.

On the second white circle, I used the confetti stamp and stamped this image around the edge of the circle in Pool Party ink. The sentiment was stamped in the center of the circle using Lemon Lime Twist ink. The circle was then adhered to the second black circle. The sentiment label was adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and placed onto the upper left of the card front. The circle with the skunk was adhered to the lower right of the card front. I tied a double bow using Lemon Lime Twist ribbon from the Ribbon Due Combo Pack and adhered the bow to the top of the sentiment label using a Mini Glue Dot.

For the inside panel, I added a 1″ strip of the colored designer series paper, then adhered the panel to a Basic Black mat. This unit was then adhered to the inside of the card.

A coordinating piece of designer series paper was colored and adhered to the envelope flap. I trimmed the excess paper away from the flap to finish off the envelope. Lastly, a few Glossy Dots were added to the card front.
