Zany Zoo Quick & Simple Celebrate Cards -

I wanted to show off one more Stampin’ Up Suite of products before they retire on April 30th, and this one is still available in the store. I made for you today not one but two Zany Zoo cards. They use the same layout, just different colors and tools. I did separate directions for each card.

Not only are the cards good for children but for the adult in your life who needs a light-hearted card. My husband, Terry, is the one who wanted me to buy this suite last year. He loves anything with animals on it. Happy Stamping!
