How to make a Zany Zebra Slimline Card Tutorial ~ Rick Adkins

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you how to make a Slimline Card using the Zany Zebra Stamp Set. The Zany Zebra Stamp Set is one of my favorite new stamp sets in both the Beginners Brochure and the 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. I think the little Zebras are fun playful and would make anyone smile no matter their age. Here's a look at my card.

Tips & Tricks:

Slimline cards are really popular right now and I wanted to share with you how to create one. They really are not hard to make it's just the paper size is a little bit different. For a landscape slimline card you need a piece of cardstock that's cut at 8 1/2 x 7". You are going to score that at 3 1/2", and fold it and burnish the score line. Here I used Misty Moonlight Cardstock for my card base. Super simple right!

My mat for my card is in Crumb Cake Cardstock and it's cut at 3 1/4" x 8 1/4". I layered that onto my card base. My next layer is the Whisper White which is what I will be stamping my Zebras and sentiment on. The Whisper White layer on the outside is 3" x 8". I stamped the Zebras in Tuxedo Black ink and colored their strips with my Neutral and 2020-2022 Stampin' Write Markers. I used Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake and Mossy Meadow. I wanted there to be just a little hint of the colors from the design and not all black.

I stamped my sentiment in Misty Moonlight Classic Ink in the center of the two Zebras facing each other. And then just layered everything up using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I keep the card simple so that a new crafter could easily recreate it if they wanted to.
