In today’s post, I am sharing a fun set of note cards highlighting the Dino Days Bundle. In addition, the Scalloped Note Cards are featured. Not only are the note cards lots of fun to create, they are fun and playful looking. The Dino Days Bundle includes the Dino Days Stamp Set and Dino Dies. The Dino Days Bundle is included in the Dinoroar Suite Bundle along with the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper, 3/8″ Denim Ribbon and Dinoroar Enamel Shapes. When starting to design the project, I first looked at the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper and used it as my color inspiration. It was then when I realized that the designer series paper would coordinate beautifully with the Scalloped Note Cards. If you’ve noticed in past posts, I am a huge fan of note cards. Now with the Scalloped Note Cards, I have more creation options.
Aren’t the dinosaurs cute? I’ll let you in on a secret! All of the dinosaurs used on the note cards were cut from the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper. And no fussy cutting was required! The Dino Dies matches perfectly with dinosaur images on some of the designer series paper.
Here’s a tip for you when cutting the dinosaurs with spikes on their backs. There are two separate dies, one for the dinosaur body and one for the spikes. First cut the dinosaur body with the coordinating die. After cutting, you will notice that the spike will not have enough paper for you to attach it to the dinosaur. Therefore, adhere the spike to a scrap of whisper white cardstock and then cut it with the spike die. This will provide you with enough paper to attach to the dinosaur.

Have you seen the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper on pages 74 & 167 in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog? It is absolutely gorgeous! The lightweight paper features photographic images of real pressed flowers on one side of the paper. So when designing this card, I decided to use the photo of the Pressed Petals Bouquet on one of the papers. By using the Heirloom Frames Dies, a large oval helps to highlight the bouquet. As an extra touch, the coordinating Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape creates a flower to embellish the card. Scroll below for more card details.
Card Base Details:
Create the card base using Crumb Cake cardstock (8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, score and fold at 4-1/4″), Use the Oval Heirloom Frames Die from the Heirloom Frames Dies and 3-D Embossing Folders to cut a large oval from a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Merry Merlot cardstock. Cut the Pressed Petals Bouquet image from the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Paper. Attach the Merry Merlot frame to the photo of the Pressed Petals Bouquet using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. TIP: Before adhering, check DSP placement. If the DSP extends past frame, trim before adhering the frame. Once the liquid adhesive has dried, add the framed Pressed Petals Bouquet layer to the card front using adhesive.
Finishing Touches:
The “Hello There” greeting is from the Here’s A Card stamp set. Create a Crumb Cake cardstock tag using the Banner Triple Punch and stamp the sentiment using Merry Merlot Classic Stampin’ Pad. On the left side of the tag, use five of the Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape petals to create a flower. TIP: After placing the petals, use the Embossing Buddy to dust the back of the flower petals to prevent them from sticking to the card. Stamp two sets of leaves (from the Floral Essence Stamp Set) using Old Olive Classic Stampin’ Pad onto Vellum cardstock. Use the heat tool to dry the ink. Once the ink is completely dry, use the leaf punch to cut the leaves. Use mini glue dots to tuck the leaves behind the flower. Attach the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then, complete by adding a Perennial Essence Floral Center to the flower.

Can you believe it’s August already! Where is time going? Currently here in middle Georgia, we’re experiencing the hot, humid days of summer. So, it’s the perfect time to stay indoors and craft!
Today’s card features the Rare Blessings Stamp Set and if you’re looking for a simple card to create, this one has you covered. Recently, a friend had asked if I could make a simple, blank card (no sentiment) for them to use. The Rare Blessings set was on my desk, so I thought it would be perfect to use. Since the flower in the stamp set is delicate in appearance, I decided to use a soft color scheme of Purple Posy and Soft Sea Foam. The flower image was first stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored using the Soft Sea Foam and Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends Sets. The Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends highlights the center stamen petals of the flower. Using the Stitched Rectangles Dies, a frame is created from the Soft Sea Foam cardstock to highlight the flower image.
The interior of the card could not be completely blank! So, the small flower from the stamp set was stamped and colored to add an extra touch.
Add a comment and let me know what color scheme you’d like to see used with this stamp set. I’ll use it on a future post.
