Zany Zebras and Playing with Patterns Suite Peek A Boo Card

This is one of my grandchildren's favorite cards. They get a kick out of the Peek A Boo Zebra.  When you open and close the card the Zebra changes!  It's always exciting for me when I create a card that becomes one of their favorites. I hope you enjoy it and have someone special to send it to!  I used the Pattern Play stamp set and Zany Zebra's stamp set by Stampin UP!  Just below the first two pictures I have listed the supplies needed to make this card.  Next I have step by step instructions with pictures.  I will also add a link to a video I did on how to make this card!  Enjoy!
