The Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper is packed full of different animals showcasing unique talents from singing to dancing, juggling to knitting, baking to skating, and every fun hobby in between. Cut out the characters to create cute designs, or use the reverse side’s basic black and white patterns for accent pieces and backdrops. There’s so much you can do with this zany zoo crew! I punched the DSP and cardstock using an assortment of circle punches. It was so quick & easy I couldn’t stop creating! Here’s a look at some of the different cards you can make for a variety of occasions.

These fun “note” cards can be sent to anyone at anytime. They’re sure to bring a smile and brighten someone’s day. Create a set to give as a gift…Perfect for a music teacher or musical student! I embossed the background using the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder (retiring soon)…perfect for these “note-worthy” animals.

The sentiment is from a new stamp set, Simply Said, which will be available starting May 1st with the launch of the new annual catalog. This ten sentiment stamp set is a versatile set you are going to want!!!

The talented zoo crew can not only sing, they can dance too! The fun dancing animals make great cards for a ballet teacher or student. You can also use them to send an inspirational message to friends or family.

Here’s a closer look at each.

I only used the Zoo Crew DSP on today’s cards; however, there is a coordinating bundle. The Zany Zoo Dies can cut out some of the different animals from the DSP. Both the stamp set and dies (as well as the DSP) are retiring soon (in 3 days!!!). The dies are on sale and it is cheaper to buy them separately than with the bundle savings!

Flowering Zinnias Clutch Purse & Note Cards

March 4, 2024March 3, 2024 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

I had a client ask for some inspiration for note cards. That request inspired me to pull out one of my favorite ideas for gifting a set of note cards…the Card Clutch. This “purse” holds 4 Stampin’ Up! note cards & envelopes.

Sending Smiles with the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder

January 22, 2024 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 26 Comments

I am going to have to add to the list of My Favorite Things from the Mini Catalog! I have been playing with the new Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder and it is AMAZING!!! I created this set of cards in no time and I have a pile of hearts leftover to make more!!!!

Previously I posted some embossed cards I created using Color Buddies. If you you missed that post you can check it out HERE. Today’s cards showcase more Color Buddies…using DSP instead of just cardstock. I had so much fun putting these cards together. Here’s a closer look at each.

Look how pretty it is embossed!

Measurements:

Card base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Basic White Layer: cut 2 @ 4 x 5 1/4 then cut using the largest Stitched with Whimsy Die
Cardstock: cut 2 x 6 strips for each color with *Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder
DSP (6×6 Designer Series Paper Assortments): cut 2 x 6 strips with *Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder (*See cutting tips below.)

I used the Sending Smiles stamp set on all these cards. I love this stamp set!! It includes nine versatile sentiments to use for any occasion! There’s also thirteen images that arrange to create a wide variety of floral designs.

I love how this stamp set worked so well with the hearts I cut and embossed using the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder.
Stampin' Up! Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder-for inspiration and ordering information visit juststampin.com-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This collection of hearts will help you create crafts that are perfect for anniversaries, Valentine’s Day celebrations, and any other love-filled occasion! It’s easy to share the love with the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder! I love that you can cut and emboss at the same time. I have had several people ask how it works. Here’s a few tips and reminders…

I cut my cardstock and DSP 2 x 6 so I could cut/emboss 3 colors at once.
To die cut & emboss at the same time, place the dies inside the embossing folder with the cutting edge up. You will be able to feel them fit in place. Add your cardstock on top of the die and close the EF. You will run this through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using just the platform base (#1) and the #4 plate. (*There’s visual reminders right on the base plate.)
Always feed the embossing folder through your machine with the hinge end going through first. (*The Stampin’ Up! Logo will be at the bottom of the EF going through last.) You get 9 beautifully cut & embossed hearts each time!
When you just want to die cut (like I did with the DSP) you will use the platform base (#1), thin die plate (#2), cutting plate (#3), paper, and a second cutting plate (#3) on top. *You make a “sandwich” with your paper and die between the cutting plates.
When die cutting DSP you can actually cut 2 pieces at once. I was able to cut 6 2×6 strips at once which made it quick to cut all the different hearts for today’s project!

There is so much more you can do with this hybrid embossing folder….I plan to use the leftover negative strips for some fun shaker cards and more! Subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss out!
