Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is Animal House—and the Pals are here to inspire you with a parade of paw-some card ideas and paper craft creations, all featuring Stampin’ Up! products. At the end of each post, you’ll find links to all the participant blogs so you can “hop” along and gather ideas to make your own projects roar with personality. 

I used Darling Dinos stamp and die set and the Everyday Happiness DSP (designer series paper) for my baby card. I need to say that this card was made specifically for a work colleague and I forgot to take pictures before some of us signed it. I did ask everyone if it was ok to take pictures after they signed it, so they all knew what I’d forgotten to do.

That being said, he’s the card:

As always with a fun fold card, I will be adding this to the Creative Creases Challenge where the theme is always Anything Goes with a Fun Fold.

Measurements:

The card is a modified z-fold card

• The Pretty Peacock base measures 5-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches, scored at 2-1/8 and 4-1/4 inches on the long side
• Trim two pieces of Wild Wheat cardstock to 2 by 5-3/8 inches
• Trim two pieces of DSP to 1-7/8 by 5-1/4 inches
• The Lost Lagoon flap opening upwards measures 4 by 10-3/4 inches, scored at 5-3/8 inches
• The DSP on the front of the flap measures 3-3/4 by 5-1/4 inches
• Trim a piece of coordinating DSP to 1/2 by 5-1/4 inches for the bottom of the inside of the flap
• Trim another piece of DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
• Punch a 1-inch circle from coordinating DSP and run it through the XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
• You need two pieces of white cardstock measuring 3-7/8 by 5-1/4 inches
• Trim another piece of white cardstock for the back to 5-3/8 by 4-1/8 inches, if needed and since there are 16 of us who need to sign this card, I definitely needed it
• The front sentiment square of Pretty Peacock and the DSP were cropped using two of the square Stylish Shapes dies
• Crop another piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock using the same size square die as the DSP on the front I used as many scrap pieces of white cardstock as possible for all the dinosaurs and initials on this card

Stamping, Coloring, Cropping, & Assembly:

• Stamp the sentiments using Pretty Peacock ink, I used sentiments from the retired Charming Sentiments stamp set
• Stamp all the dinosaurs using Tuxedo Black ink
• I cropped three pieces of each of the initials and layered them on top of each other to add height without dimensionals
• I used the colors on the DSP to color the dinosaurs using the blend combos of Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, Wild Wheat, and Gray Granite – aren’t they all adorable!
• The stamped pattern on the Lost Lagoon egg pieces was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink
• I stamped the rocks for the back of the card using Gray Granite ink on a scrap of the DSP and cropped them using one of the Darling Dino dies
• Thankfully, the Darling Dinos die set includes all the dies needed to crop these adorable images.
• Because of the bulk of the card, I only used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere all the pieces and layers together
• With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set
