Stampin' Up! ABC Color Series - visit juststampin.com for color inspiration and color combinations from A to Z - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
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.

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!

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!

Last Chance for Garden Walk and More!

I LOVE the Garden Walk Designer Series Paper! In fact, it is my favorite DSP for year round versatility from the Sept.- Dec. Mini Catalog. The unique and varying images represent flowers from all seasons of the year. Unfortunately, this paper is retiring on Jan. 3rd.

I am thrilled to be back in my craft room and I have been on a roll creating lots of cards!
Today I’m sharing some simple card designs showcasing how the different patterns from the Garden Walk DSP mix and match together for many different occasions.

This card also showcases both sides of the DSP. However, you can easily change it up to use the non holiday pattern on the reverse side to mix with some of the other patterns to create many cards throughout the year. Take a look at some of the different versions I created mixing the non holiday side with some of the other patterns:

Circle Sayings Fun Fold for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #215

It’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday! I really enjoy being part of the Tic Tac Toe Challenge Design Team! It’s fun and easy to use the challenge board as inspiration to create! I hope you will pick 3 and play along! Here’s this week’s board.
Tic Tac Toe Challenge #215-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and more-Jeanie Stark Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator
I chose across the bottom: Circles, Heat Embossing (one of my favorite techniques!), and FREE (fun fold/watercoloring). Here’s my card:
Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings Fun Fold card idea with Let's Go Fishing Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This fun fold was designed by Patty Bennett and she calls it a 2,4,6,8 card. It is quick & easy to make. And it is so unique! I love how it opens!

Measurements and Directions:

  1. Cut cardstock (Misty Moonlight) 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 for card base.
  2. Cut your DSP(Let’s Go Fishing) 5 1/4 x 12. Score @ 2, 4, 6, and 8.
    Fold and burnish like an accordion.
    Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings Fun Fold card idea with Let's Go Fishing Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
  3. Adhere the first and second folds together and the third and fourth folds together. Adhere the 4 x 5 1/4 section to the card base.
  4. Punch two 2 3/8 Circles from Shimmery White Cardstock.
  5. Stamp the sentiment from Circle Sayings in center of one of the circles. Stamp banner sentiment on a scrap of Shimmery Cardstock using Boho Blue ink and fussy cut.
  6. Stamp images from Circle Sayings on Shimmery White circles with Versamark. Heat emboss with White Embossing Powder. (*It makes it so easy to stay in the lines when watercoloring if you heat emboss first.)
  7. Watercolor images using Stampin’ Up! Water Painters and ink refills. (*I put a few drops of ink refill in the lids of the ink pads and pick up the color with the Water Painters.)
  8. Die cut 2 Circles from Stylish Shapes Dies in Misty Moonlight Cardstock. Adhere watercolored circles to stitched circles.
  9. Adhere layered circle near the top of the front of the card. Then adhere second circle near the bottom of the next layer. *Make sure you just add adhesive on the left side.
  10. Punch 2 circle for the inside of the card and adhere to the card base.  Add sentiment of choice and/or personal message.
  11. Wrap BoHo Blue Jute Twine around first section of the card front and tie in a bow. Add fussy cut banner with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
