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!

Sending Love & Sunny Days

Do you save your scraps leftover from a project? I hate to throw anything away! I once saved 1/2 sticker I used on a scrapbook page and finally used the other half 5 years later!  LOL Yesterday I shared 3 cards I created using the Stack, Slice, & Shuffle technique. If you missed that post you can view it HERE. I have been on a roll replenishing my card supply after the holidays. I like to give sets of cards as gifts to friends & family. Usually I make cards for a specific person or reason but I find I need to have cards on hand for a hostess gift or when someone drops in and needs a card.

I had some leftover pieces of Sunny Days DSP on my desk after creating the other day and decided to use them to make another card. (That seemed like more fun than filing my scraps and cleaning up! LOL) Here’s what I created from just what was already on my desk.
Stampin' Up! Sending Love and Sunny Days simple card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The (leftover) DSP measures 2 x 3 3/4. I  adhered these pieces to the top and bottom of a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Basic White and stamped my sentiment in between. The sentiment is from the NEW Sending Love stamp set (Save 10% when you purchase the bundle).  I adhered the white card layer to a 5 1/8 x 3 7/8 piece of Black cardstock (which is the same size I used on yesterdays cards). I wrapped my ribbon around and added a bow on the front. This layer is adhered to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I just added a few heart embellishments from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers. I love how this card turned out! And the best part is I used my scraps to create it!

I think of this as my Bonus Card from the Stack, Slice, & Shuffle!

Here’s the details:
The DSP panels measure 3 3/4 x 3 then cut into 3 pieces that measure 1 1/4 x 3. These are adhered to a 3 1/8 x 4 piece of coordinating cardstock and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The sentiment and images from Oval Occasions are stamped on Basic White with Memento Black Ink, colored with Blends and punched out using the Double Oval Punch. I cut an oval from the Layering Oval Dies in cardstock. I attached a folded piece of ribbon with Mini Glue Dots and adhered the layered image to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. This quick & easy card really pops with this gorgeous paper and stamp set!
