7 Last Chance Zany Zebras Projects + Cut Apart Card Video Tutorial

Yesterday, I shared the Zany Zebras Easel Card and it reminded me of the Zany Zebras Cut Apart Card that I made in the fall that I never posted. I made this monochromatic card in several of the In Colors. Which color do you like best: Misty Moonlight, Just Jade, or Magenta Madness?

Here are the supplies you'll need to create this card. 

•  4-1/4" x 11" Card Base 
• 1-3/4" x 4" Designer Paper 
• 1-1/4" x 4" Designer Paper [can be same or different (coordinating) pattern]
• 4" x 5-1/4" White or Vanilla (unless card base is white) 
• Tag Topper Punch OR Triple Banner Punch (optional) 
• Stamps, Ink, cardstock scraps, punches, ribbon, embellishments to decorate a 2" x 4" vertical space 
• Paper Trimmer 

 Watch the replay of this "Mystery Stamping" video to follow along with me as I walk you through creating the Cut Apart Card! (Note: Start video at 54:10 to skip to this card.)

I never posted the Whale Done version of the Cut Apart Card that I demonstrated in the video. Although the Whale of a Time Designer Paper has already sold out, the bundle is still available.

Here are some more Zany Zebra cards created by Stampin' Up! Concept Artists. This stamp set is retiring and won't be available after May 3! Don't wait to get your favorites before they're gone!

VIDEO: Zany Zebras Easel Card Tutorial

Did you catch Thursday Night Stamp Therapy last night? I shared three cards, including an Easel Card using the retiring Zany Zebras stamp set.  Easel Cards as quick and easy and a fun way to display your hand-stamped art.

Score the card front in half and then prop it open with an element inside that's on Stampin' Dimensionals.

Ready to give it a try? Here are the measurements that I used for this card:

• 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 2-1/8" and 4-1/4"
• 3" x 4" Designer Paper
• 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" White Layer
• 2-1/2" Circle
• 5/8" x 5-1/2" Designer Paper (for inside)
• Scraps for stamping/punching

Watch the replay of last night's Thursday Night Stamp Therapy to follow along and make an Easel Card with me! Plus you'll get a sneak peek of another Easel Card using the new Party Puffins stamp set!

Beautiful Friendship Sneak Peek + Stampin' Creative Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Creative Global Blog Hop! Currently you are visiting Julie Davison from the middle of the United States (Central Illinois to be exact!). This month, my friends from around the world and I are sharing projects inspired by the same card sketch. You know I love a good card layout!

I used brand new products for my card this month! One of my favorite perks of being a demonstrator is getting to pre-order new product, so I couldn't resist creating with one of my new favorites -- the Beauty of the Earth Suites.

I expanded my "ribbon" at the bottom to include a strip of designer paper, but otherwise stuck pretty true to the original sketch. The Beautiful Trees dies are so dynamic. You can die cut the stamped image or use the detailed dies to create a larger tree like this one. I die cut the larger tree top in sold Mossy Meadow cardstock and then added the detailed leaves die cut from the designer paper (same pattern as the background). I used Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to add the leaves.

The Beauty of the Earth Suite will launch next week in the new Annual Catalog. Be sure to come back for more project ideas using this Suite, including a "Quick Look" video!

That's all from me today! Thank you for visiting! For now, it's time to carry on with the blog hop and see what other amazing projects my Stampin' friends from around the world have created using this same card layout!

I'd love to see what you create with this card layout! Share your cards in Julie's Stamping Spot: Share & Connect Group!

Order the Stampin' Up! Products to Make This Project: Beauty of Friendship Stamp Set (#154983), Early Espresso ink & cardstock, Mossy Meadow cardstock, Bumblebee Cardstock, Basic White cardstock, Beauty of the Earth Designer Paper (#155841), Beautiful Trees Dies (#155840 or #155834 for bundle), Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, Linen Thread

Last Chance Favorite: 4 Easy Cards with Stitched Nested Labels Dies

I've been highlighting my favorite Last Chance products over the last month. One of my favorites isn't one of the crazy-good deals, but it is on sale for 20% off! There's only one week left to get your favorites before they are gone, so I had to give mine one last hurrah! The Stitched Nested Labels Dies are so versatile and these easy card ideas will have you turning to them again and again! 

The first card set of cards uses one of my favorite layouts that is so easy with nested dies like these. I cut a large opening from designer paper and then added a smaller die cut label with the sentiment in the center. You may remember this layout that shared back in 2019. See More Cards

In hindsight, I wish that I had made the designer paper a little bigger (4" x 5-1/4" instead of 3-3/4" x 5"), but you can still see plenty of the pattern. Of course, you can create this card layout with ANY designer paper, but I'm a fan of the retiring Flowers for Every Season! The sentiment is from the retiring Ridiculously Awesome stamp set. 

 

The next card didn't turn out exactly as I had planned. I feel like there is too much "white space" on the label that I didn't fill well enough. I did add some Rhinestones after the video. How would you change this card? Would you add more butterflies? Or maybe a background image under the butterflies? See More Flap Fold Cards.

This next card layout is a great way to use coordinating designer paper. You'll need three 1-1/2" x 5" strips of paper plus a label for the sentiment. See More Triple Banner Cards

I used the Hydrangea Haven Designer Paper with the retiring Beautiful Friendship stamp set for this card. I really love the color combination of Purple Posy, Highland Heather, and Misty Moonlight! 

Once I had the Beautiful Friendship stamp set out, I couldn't resist making another card with it! These stamps are so gorgeous! See More Beautiful Friendship Cards
