Welcome to the newest Make My Monday bi-weekly challenge #255. I’m hosting this challenge and chose Summer Fun for the theme. When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the very talented design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!
Summer Fun has a very individual interpretation, so I am looking forward to seeing your creations in our gallery. I chose flowers because I am hoping to do some productive gardening this summer. Cross your fingers that no plant is harmed in this endeavor because I do not have a green thumb.
Here’s my card:
Since the front sentiment is for an all-occasion card, I haven’t stamped an inside sentiment yet. Instead, I used removable tape to adhere the white cardstock. When I know the occasion, I can stamp the sentiment, and adhere it permanently using multipurpose liquid glue. I’ve already posted one of these cards for the last MMM challenge, and you can see that post here. I’d also posted a dinosaurs version, and you can see that one here. Once I got started making these fun folds, I couldn’t stop.
As with other fun fold card, I’m going to be adding this to the Creative Creases Challenge for which the theme is always Anything Goes with a Fun Fold. If you love fun folds as much as I do, please upload your creations to the gallery.
DSP and Templates:
I made myself a template to use for the measurements, and am adding the pictures in lieu of including measurements.
I used Timid Tiger for the base pieces of this card. The DSP (designer series paper) is a combination of the 2025 – 2027 6 x 6 inch In Color DSP and the Florals in Bloom 12 x 12 inch DSP. Both of these DSP packs can be found in the annual catalog.

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
