Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month’s theme is “Birthday Celebrations.” The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the participant’s blogs can be found at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!
Here’s my Darling Dinos Birthday Card:
I’m also going to be uploading this card into the current Creative Creases #101, where anything goes with a fun fold!
I used Gray Granite, Pool Party, and Lost Lagoon colors for this Dino card. The Gray Granite mats actually come from the Otterly Adorable DSP! The Riverside Irregular Pearls fit perfectly in the corner of each layer. This card was so much fun to create!
I found these directions on Pinterest, and it comes from Stamp with Deb. I used her project sheet, instead of the YouTube video, mainly because I could just work from her project sheet easier than the video.
Measurements:
Instead of listing all the measurements, I thought it might be easier to show pictures of my template:
Once I had all the pieces trimmed, the rest of the card fell into place easily! I’m very glad that I thought ahead regarding the template so I can add it to my template/fun fold mini-binder so I can easily make another card.
Stamping, Coloring, & Assembly:
- All the images which needed to be colored are stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink
- I used pretty Peacock ink to stamp the front, middle and the middle section of the back sentiment
- The sentiment on the back panel is a perfectly wonderful combination of two stamps: the Gray Granite part is all on one stamp and leaves a blank space for the inside sentiment, which I stamped in Pretty Peacock
- I used the Pool Party and Gray Granite blends combos to color all the Darling Dinos
- By adding layers of color with either the light or dark blends, I was able to achieve the varing colors
- I stamped the egg pieces in Gray Granite using the splotch stamp included in the set
- Crop all the pieces using the Darling Dino die set
- Because of the bulk of all the paper layers, I only used my favorite adhesive, multipurpose liquid glue
