Hello Crafters!
Today I have a fun and colorful card using the Zany Zoo bundle. There are so many ways to use this stamp and die combo to create some cute cards.
The set comes with images of animals dancing, singing, knitting, bicyling and 3 sentiments. The dies are just as much fun to play with. Create your own stage with curtains for your talented animals or use the stage for something else. There are flowers, table, trees, balloons, clouds, scallop border and all the images can be die cut. There’s also a coordinating patterned paper pack.
Make a tag or wrap a gift with the paper as seen in the catalog.
I wanted to make a colorful card for my grandson’s birthday and what better way than circles with vibrant colors. To create the circles I made a template out of circle dies in four different sizes, but only used three as you can see from the picture below. Blending brushes were used to sponge the circles.
If you don’t have circle dies, you can easily create a template from punches or make a template out of different shapes. If you haven’t made a template, I challenge you to try it and see what kind of background you come up with.
I used a black circle to make the alligator pop or it would’ve gotten lost with the background. The patterned paper at the bottom is from the Zoo Crew pack. A side border was created by sponging the same colors as the circles and then stamped the confetti.
