I’m so excited to have received the Zany Zoo Suite in my SU! supply shipment today. I’ve been anxiously awaiting this bundle because it is just TOO cute!

I found a really fun window card tutorial in my search for inspiration on Pinterest, so I decided to give Lynn Dunn’s window card design a try. The only complaint I had with her original design was that there was no space to write a personal message inside the card. So I decided to try to incorporate a flip-down flap that I learned on Klompen Stamper’s Fun Folds Vol. 7 to allow room to write inside the card.

By adding the flap for a personalized message, that gives a total of four panels for this design. The card front is the window to the first inside scene of the dancing cat taking center stage. The dancing cat panel folds down to reveal another scene on stage of the cat doing a duet with the hippo on the center panel and the bottom panel for the personalized message. TIP: If you don’t have a piece of pristine acetate, use an extra piece from a stamp set. Just wipe it down on both sides with a microfiber cloth to remove any temporary impressions from stamps. I used the extra that came with Gone Fishing.

The base of the card and flap are Pool Party cardstock. The Zoo Crew designer paper provides all of the patterned elements. I die cut the dancing cats and fussy cut the hippo from the Zoo Crew DSP. Basic Black and Basic White round out the cardstock used. The curtains and banner were cut using the coordinating Zany Zoo dies. This card was super fun to make and would certainly come together more quickly with duplication. If there’s any interest, I may do a tutorial on this one down the road.
