Welcome to the end of my ABC Color Series! Stampin’ Up! offers so many great color choices!  I love to combine different colors and patterns and hope this series has inspired you with some fun color combinations. Today’s projects feature color combinations from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper.

How cute is this paper?!

Product colors: Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie

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.
Stampin' Up! All occasion note cards with Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
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.
Stampin' Up! All occasion note card with Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper and Simply Said Stamp Set-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
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.

I love both sides of this Designer Series Paper pack! You can choose to color the background or leave it black & white. I love it both ways!

Stampin' Up! celebration card idea with Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set and Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The card above is one of my favorites! The sentiment is from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set…perfect inspiration for a graduate, friend, coworker, or someone starting a new adventure!

I love the zoo crew animals showcasing different hobbies. I can’t wait to make them all! I created these two first as I know who I want to send them to!
Stampin' Up! thank you and friend card ideas with Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper, Irresistible Blooms, and Crafting with You-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I have a friend who loves to cook and she is always dropping by with one of her delicious recipes. This aproned goat makes the perfect thank you card for her! The artist makes a great card to send to your creative friends. I stamped the sentiment from Crafting With You before embossing with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder.

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!

Welcome to my ABC Color Series! Stampin’ Up! offers so many great color choices!  I love to combine different colors and patterns and hope to inspire you with some fun color combinations throughout this series. Today’s project features two new colors in the core collection: Berry Burst and Bubble Bath. Berry Burst is a former In Color returning as part of the Brights Collection. Bubble Bath is a soft pink color that is a new addition to the Stampin’ Up! Subtles Collection. Let’s take a look at each of these colors in comparison to some other colors.

Berry Burst and Bubble Bath pair well together and you can pop many other colors with them.  I used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper to create a fun little birthday box bag and tag.
