Greetings!
There was a time when I rarely made cards using creatures. I primarily stuck with things that seemed more adult like, as most of the cards I send are to adults. These past few months, I've really embraced the stamp sets that include adorable creatures, and with the newly introduced Zoo Crew Collection, I am having so much fun with all the fabulous creatures included. They are too stinkin' cute to ignore. And...I can only speak for myself when I say, who doesn't love getting cards with adorable or hilarious animals on them!
The Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper (DSP) has an abundance of animals in a variety of activities, from skating and biking, to dancing and juggling, to playing musical instruments, as well as domestic duties such as a llama knitting. They are a riot!
The Zany Zoo dies are awesome! They cut out many of the creatures from Zoo Crew DSP prints as well as the stamps in the coordinating Zany Zoo stamp set. The dies also have many extras to complete the scenes, such as the little table, vase and flowers, and the valance (or curtain when positioned vertically) as shown on this card. The "rug" is compliments of the Countryside Corners dies, which was the perfect piece to anchor the scene on this card.
I had so much fun making this card and I know that whomever I send it to will get a chuckle out of it.
If you feel you get stuck in a rut of what you use for creating your cards, I invite you to expand your repertoire of stamp sets and designs. This Zoo Crew Collection will give you images to use for all ages and occasions, so add it to your cart, and start a new creative adventure.
