3 Zoo Crew Patterns for a Quick Birthday Card!

Create this Birthday Card with the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper and Phrases for All Stamp Set by Stampin' Up! Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

Stampin’ Up! Is a master of coordination and that is true of the three coordinating patterns from Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper used on today’s card.  The koala was ready to be cropped with a 2-3/8″ Circle Punch and become the focal point.  The black and white dots are the background “stage.”  A wee bit of the black pattern peeks out top and bottom from behind the “stage.”

WHAT I LOVE !  There’s something so striking about a white embossed sentiment on black card stock.  Perfect for a clean and simple style.
