Zany Zebras Kick Up Your Heels Card
Tracy Jacobs shared this fun card with me featuring many of this year's current In Colors!
Background Basics—The card begins with a 4" x 3" piece of retiring Magenta Madness In Color Designer Series Paper layered onto a 4-1/8" x 3-1/8" piece of Basic White, then mounted onto a Magenta Madness card base.
Sweet Sentiment—Next, Tracy cut a 5" x 1-1/2" piece of Basic White, fishtail cut the end and stamped couple of phrases from the retiring Zany Zebras stamp set on the end in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. She adhered it to the card front with SEAL adhesive.
Zany Zebra—For the focal point, Tracy stamped the Zany Zebra image in Memento Black onto a Basic White Stitched Shapes (retiring) die-cut, then stamped the shadow image in Memento Black underneath. She stamped the birthday hat onto a scrap of Basic White, too. To add color, she used the Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight pencils from the Watercolor Pencils pack. Then, she hand-cut the party hat and adhered it onto his head. The circle is mounted onto a Basic Black Layering Circles (retiring) scallop circle die-cut, then popped up with Dimensionals.
Finishing Touches—She topped off this festive card with a few retiring In Color Enamel Dots. What a fun birthday card!

Zany Zebras Happy Birthday Card
Sandy Carlson created this adorable birthday card, also featuring the Zany Zebras stamp set!
Background Basics—This card begins with a 3-1/2" x 1-3/4" piece of Melon Mambo Designer Series Paper and a 3-1/2" x 3" piece of Mango Melody Designer Series Paper adhered to a 3-3/4" x 5" background of Daffodil Delight cardstock. She added a 3-3/4" x 1/4" strip of some striped retiring Flowers For Every Season DSP right where the other two DSPs meet, then mounted the layers onto a Thick Basic White card base. She also added a 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" square of Vellum Cardstock to the card front to create a foundation for the focal point.
Focal Point—Sandy stamped the Zany Zebra image in Magenta Madness ink onto a Basic White Stitched Shapes die-cut, then popped it up over the vellum.
Finishing Touches—Next, she stamped the Zany Zebra sentiment in Mango Melody ink onto a 2" x 1/2" piece of Basic White and adhered it over the circle. She finished by tying a bow in some Playful Pets baker's twine and attaching it underneath the sentiment with a Glue Dot. So, so cute!

These Retiring Items Will May Be Discounted June 1!
The January-June Mini Catalog ends on June 30 and Stampin' Up! is giving us a sneak peek of what will be leaving for good. There are no discounts now, but on June 1 some of these items may be going on sale for the Mini Catalog Last Chance Product Sale! Although these items are not yet in the scary "while supplies last" status, we will likely see product availability limited as we get closer to June.
