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.

How cute is this paper?!

Stampin' Up! Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and ordering information-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
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.

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!

O is for Orchid Oasis

Stampin' Up! ABC Color Series - visit juststampin.com for color inspiration and color combinations from A to Z - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
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 Orchid Oasis. Orchid Oasis is one of the 2022-2024 In Colors. It’s a pretty blue purple color and just happens to be one of my daughter’s favorite colors.
Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender with layering Leaves and HEartfelt Hexagon Thinking of You Card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used the gorgeous Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper on today’s cards. This is my favorite DSP in the new Mini Catalog!!! I love these beautiful colors together!

Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and to order Stampin' Up! products-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Product colors: Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Lost Lagoon, Orchid Oasis, Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce, Starry Sky

Bring the beauty of lavender to all your paper crafts with Perennial Lavender 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. The hand-painted designs were inspired by fields of wild lavender and the wildflowers that grow right alongside it. Use these lovely sheets as a background image or die-cut pieces to use as an accent for your card making projects.

I rarely make just one card. I like to play around and try different variations and see which version I like better. I started out simple but then kept adding more elements. (That seems to be an ongoing issue with me. LOL) Here’s a closer look at each card.

I love the texture the ribbon adds!

I love using the DSP to make envelopes to coordinate!
Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender with Heartfelt Hexagon and Bough Punch Thinking of You Card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used the same color combo for both cards. I really like this color combination! You could highlight different colors in the paper. If I was using any of the other DSP patterns I would probably go with the Shaded Spruce instead of Lost Lagoon but I thought it was too bold with the Orchid Oasis. (It looks great with Gorgeous Grape.) What do you think of this color combo?

  • Card base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
