Zany Zoo - FAB Instahop

Hello and welcome back to my blog! I am so pleased to announce that I am joining the FAB Instahop Design Team Monthly Instahop and today's cards are my first as a DT member. We are a team of demonstrators from all over the world who are sharing creations on Instagram sparked by monthly challenges. This month our challenge is "Favourite New Product" from the brand new 2023-2024 Annual Catalogue from Stampin' Up!®. 

I actually love many things from the new catalogue but one of my absolute favourites is the Zoo Crew Suite Collection which consists of the Zany Zoo Bundle (Zany Zoo stamp set & Zany Zoo Dies), Zoo Crew DSP and the coordinating Ribbon Combe Pack. I used all of these on my cards. I also used the Bright & Beautiful DSP, Tailor Made Tags Dies and Stampin' Blends.

Instructions Card 1:

- Use a piece of Basic White card for the card base, and layer with Lemon Lolly card and then a piece of the Bright & Beautiful DSP.

- Use a 2" Circle Punch to punch out the frogs from the Zoo Crew DSP. Use the Zany Zoo Dies to die cut the singing turtle from the Zoo Crew DSP. Add some colour to the turtle with the Lemon Lime Twist Stampin' Blends.

- Use the 2 3/8" Punch to punch a circle from Basic White and then use the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder to emboss. Apply Lemon Lolly ink with a Blending Brush to the punched circle. Adhere the punched circles onto the card front.

- Stamp the sentiment from the Zany Zoo set on Basic White using Tuxedo Black ink and adhere.  Add some Lemon Lolly Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems to complete.

Instructions Card 2:

- Use a piece of Lemon Lolly card for the card base, and layer with a smaller piece of Basic White card and then a piece of the Bright & Beautiful DSP.

- Use the Tailor Made Tags Dies to die cut a tag from the opposite side of the circle DSP. Use the Lemon Lime Twist ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack and tie it onto the tag.

- Die cut the Racoon and Balloon from the Zoo Crew DSP using the Zany Zoo Dies. Colour the Racoon with Wild Wheat, Pecan Pie and Petal Pink Stampin' Blends.

- Stamp the sentiment from the Zany Zoo set on Basic White using Tuxedo Black ink and cut down to "Happy Birthday" and adhere. Adhere the die cut balloon and add some Lemon Lolly Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems to complete.
