I’m having a blast with the Zany Zoo Bundle! So today I have a variety of fun and simple card designs to share. The Zany Zoo bundle comes with a stamp set and coordinating die set. There are so many fun little dies in this set which you can use to decorate your cards. The little characters in the designer paper and the stamp set are just adorable! Let’s take a look at some of these simple card ideas.
Zany Zoo
The first couple of card ideas are simple layouts which can be used with any supplies you have on hand. All the cards feature the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper and some NEW colors!
The first card layout features the NEW Lemon Lolly cardstock for the base of the card. Cut a 1 x 4-1/4 inch piece of Night of Navy cardstock. Adhere the navy cardstock to the left side of a 1-1/2 x 5 inch piece of patterned paper. Add to the left side of the card front. Create the layers for the focal point by cutting a 2 x 4 inch piece of vellum and a 2 x 3-1/2 inch piece of white cardstock. The focal point is simply the dancing Hippo image, cut with a scissors, from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper.
The second card idea features the cute little alligator on a bike. Start with a piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock for the base of the card. Cut a 4-1/4 x 3-3/4 inch piece of white cardstock. Add 3 pieces of 1 x 4 inch lime colored DSP and 2 pieces of 1/4 x 4 inch Petal Pink cardstock, across the white cardstock as shown. Create two scallop pieces, using the Zany Zoo die, to add to each side of the white cardstock. Add a 2-1/8 inch circle shape and the alligator image; then embellish as desired.
Theater Style
As I shared with you last week, I love creating a little theater scene with the curtain die in the Zany Zoo set. If you missed the Zany Zoo Window cards, you can check them out HERE.
The first theater style card features the singing turtle image. To create the layout, start with a piece of white cardstock for the base of the card. Cut a 2 x 5-1/2 inch piece of patterned paper and adhere it down the center of the card front. Add a 1-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch piece of a different patterned paper to the left side of the card front as shown.
The theater scene starts with a 2 x 3 inch piece of white cardstock. Cut out a curtain, using the Zany Zoo die, from a piece of patterned paper and adhere it to the right side of the white cardstock. Create the scalloped top from a 1 x 2 inch piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock using the Zany Zoo die. Add a 3 x 2 inch vellum layer behind the white cardstock. You can use any character from the Zany Zoo set to create the focal point.
For the last theater style card, start with a piece of white cardstock for the base of the card. Cut a 3 x 4-1/2 inch piece of patterned paper and adhere it down the center of the card front. Cut a 3-1/2 x 3 inch piece of white cardstock and adhere it to the center of the card front. Create the theater scene using the Zany Zoo dies. The curtains feature the NEW Bubble Bath color. The accent pieces on the card feature Fresh Freesia. The scallops were create using 1 x 3-1/2 inch pieces of Bubble Bath cardstock.
