Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo bundle and the coordinating Zoo Crew designer series paper are new items that are coming in the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog that goes live on May 2, 2023. The Zoo Crew Suite is such a fun critter themed set that covers all kinds of activities and is perfect for fun, light hearted cards for everyone. I made this card during my Facebook Live yesterday and you can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.
You can watch my FB Live video on my Facebook page HERE. I also posted the video to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.
I adhered a panel of Zoo Crew designer series paper to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base with liquid glue. I stamped strips of Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo, Lost Lagoon and Lemon Lime Twist with different stitches from the Stitches cling stamp set (retired) in Versamark ink and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I adhered the strips to the card front with liquid glue.
I used the third largest scalloped rectangle die from the Scalloped Contours dies to cut a panel of Petal Pink. I used the alpaca from the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo dies to cut an alpaca from the Zoo Crew DSP and cut another one from Basic White. I adhered the two die cuts together with liquid glue and adhered the layered die cut to Petal Pink scalloped rectangle with dimensionals. I used the dies to cut a little table from Crumb Cake, a vase from Pool Party and a set flowers from So Saffron. I adhered the table, vase and flowers to the scalloped rectangle with glue dots and adhered the rectangle to the card front with dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Lemon Lime Twist. I cut it out with the circle die from the Radiating Stitches die and adhered it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished with a black gingham bow and Parakeet Party dots.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the stitches in Flirty Flamingo, Crumb Cake, Lost Lagoon and Lemon Lime Twist on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
It was refreshing to stamp with the new colors, but I also felt sentimental and had to pull in some retiring favorites. I’ve loved the Stitches stamp set since it first came out, but it was when I saw the knitting alpaca from the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo bundle that I found the perfect way to use it. The new bundle, DSP and colors will be available on May 2, 2023. It will be here before you know it!
Here’s my card with the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo cling stamp set and Zany Zoo dies:
Here’s a picture of the Zoo Crew designer series paper pack. The coordinating colors are Petal Pink, Pumpkin Pie Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party Crumb Cake and Basic Black.
