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.

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 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!

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!

Y is for Yummy Yellow (Lemon Lolly)

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 this series has inspired you with some fun color combinations. Today’s project features a Yummy Yellow color, Lemon Lolly. Lemon Lolly is a soft yellow that’s part of Stampin’ Up!’s Subtles Color Collection. Here’s how it compares with some other yellows.

I love to create with “Color Buddies”…combining different shades of the same hue. Today’s card features Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight (with a pop of Granny Apple Green).
Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus Stamp set and Hybrid Embossing Folder thank you card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I had so much fun creating this card. The Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder made it quick & easy to emboss & die cut the lemons at the same time!
Our hybrid embossing folders create ornate die-cut pieces with rich texture in one simple pass through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The dies fit inside special ridges in the embossing folder for easy, one-step cutouts with dimension. Use the dies and embossing folder together or separately for a variety of looks and styles. You get texture, depth, detail, and zest out of the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder!

I embossed the white background piece. I stamped the lemons on another piece of Basic White and embossed and die cut them (at the same time). I popped them up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Here’s a closer look.

This stamp set is full of zesty image stamps and sweet sentiments to send well wishes to your favorite people. You can create lemons. limes, oranges, and grapefruit with this set. Great for so many different occasions.

I created this card for my neighbor. She makes the BEST lemon bars! Whenever we have a get together, Midge brings her signature dish and it’s always a big hit!

Here’s the card “recipe”:

I added some leftover die cuts on the inside along with Lemon Lolly Baker’s Twine. I’ve made this same card with limes (using the sentiment “Have a zesty birthday”) for a friend’s birthday that was celebrated with margaritas. Cheers to that!

Do you have a special recipe/signature dish that you are known for? My grandmother made the best chocolate chip cookies. My husband is known for his signature brownies and my specialty dish/appetizer is a hot Crab Dip (I live in Maryland which is known for delicious crabs!). What’s yours? I’d love to hear from you!
