Yes, it’s more Dino Days and today I’m featuring a card from this month’s class. The card features the Dino Days Bundle which includes the Dino Days stamp set and coordinating Dino Dies. In addition, the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper provides the perfect background. The Pteradyctal, with it’s wingspread, goes perfectly with the sentiment. I have had great fun creating projects with this bundle and can assure you, I will be posting more Dino projects in the future!
Card Details:
Create card base using Pretty Peacock cardstock (4-1/4″ x 11″, score at 5-1/2″). Card is an oblong, right side opening card.
Layer a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Dinoroar Designer Series Paper onto the card base.
Cut Lovely Lipstick cardstock layer: 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″.
Use the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut Whisper White cardstock (select rectangle die to cut Whisper White so that piece will fit inside of the Lovely Lipstick layer).
Stamp the tree trunk with Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad. Add the palm fronds, stamping with Old Olive Classic Stampin’ Pad. TIP: Stamp once, then stamp again before re-inking the stamp.
Stamp background circles onto the Whisper White using Pineapple Punch.
With Lovely Lipstick Classic Stampin’ Pad, stamp the sentiment onto the lower portion of the Whisper White cardstock piece. Add to the Lovely Lipstick cardstock layer using snail adhesive.
On a scrap of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the Pterodactyl using Mango Melody Classic Stampin’ Pad – first, stamp off onto another piece of paper, then stamp again. Stamp the wing design using the Mango Melody ink without stamping off. Cut using the coordinating Dino Die. Add to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Cut a 3′ piece of the Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon. Fold in half and attach to the lower left side of the Lovely Lipstick layer using adhesive.
Add completed sentiment layer to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Hope I have convinced you to use the Dino Days Bundle to create some fun cards for your dinosaur lover!

Looking for a quick card? Today’s card highlights the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper and is a card that can be made quickly. Earlier in the month, I needed cards to send to the Playtime with Paper team members in recognition of their July achievements. This Bird Ballad Congratulations card was the result. You’ll notice the card is not the standard rectangular shape. Instead, the card features a square base which works perfectly with the design. Notice too there’s very little stamping. It’s only on the sentiment. The beautiful prints of the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper help create the card. What’s wonderful with Stampin’ Up! designer series paper are the coordinating prints on the reversible papers. Read on for details on recreating this beautiful card.
Bird Ballad Congratulations card details:
Card Base: cut a 8″ x 4″ Thick Whisper White cardstock, score and fold at 4″ to create a 4″ x 4″ base.
Cut a 4″ x 4″ piece of Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.
Using the Layering Squares Dies, position the square on the center of the designer series paper to cut the frame. The middle of the paper cut from the frame is used for the card front.
Lay the frame atop the card base – TIP: DO NOT ADHERE YET.
For the card center, carefully adhere center piece of the designer series paper so that it’s inside the frame.
Lift frame piece and use stampin’ dimensionals to add it to the card front.
Stamp the Congratulations from the Here’s A Card stamp set onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Cut using the Classic Label Punch.
Fussy cut flower pieces from the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper. Attach the sentiment piece and the floral pieces to the frame using mini glue dots.
Finish by embellishing the flower centers with Basic Rhinestone Jewels.
NOTE: If you have the retired Envelope Punch Board, you can make an envelope. Or just pop the card in a Stampin’ Up! Medium envelope, it works great too!

Isn’t the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper gorgeous?!

Have you seen the Hoot Hoot Hooray Stamp Set that is available in the Experience Creativity Brochure from Stampin’ Up!? It’s so cute and the Hoot Hoot Hooray cards that are shown in the brochure are adorable. The brochure contains just a few basics – kits, stamps, ink, paper and a few additional items to help you start stamping. As a brochure, there are a less items than featured in the Annual Catalog. Thus, it’s not as overwhelming for a someone new to stamping. However, the stamps are great for all levels of stampers. Check out the video below to see how easy it is to replicate the cards in the brochure using the Hoot Hoot Hooray Stamp Set.
See how easy it is to make the adorable cards?! I recently ordered the Hoot Hoot Hooray Stamp Set and look forward to making a set of these note cards. If you’d like all the supplies to make these note cards, you can order the Hoot Hoot Hooray Cards Bundle which has everything you need to get started.

Do you have a youngster (or oldster!) who likes dinosaurs? If so, this Dino Days Treat Holder is perfect for when you want to give them a “little something”. The Clear Tiny Treat Boxes are perfect for tiny treats and fun to decorate. It’s been great fun creating different projects using the Dinoroar Suite Bundle and this Dino Days Treat Holder is no exception.
Here’s a side view:
Project Details:
Stamp dinosaur body from the Dino Days Stamp Set using Pool Party Classic Stampin’ Pad onto Whisper White cardstock. Also, stamp the spikes using Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad onto Whisper White cardstock. Cut the pieces using the coordinating Dino Dies. Attach the spikes to the dinosaur body using mini glue dots.
Using Mango Melody Classic Stampin’ Pad, stamp the sentiment onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock. Cut using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. TIP: Position the die so that the sentiment will be closer to the right edge of the cut shape. This will leave room to add the dinosaur. Add the Dinosaur to the left side of the sentiment label using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
With Old Olive Classic Stampin’ Pad, stamp the fern fronds onto a scrap of Old Olive cardstock. Stamp 3 times. Cut using the coordinating die from the Dino Dies.
Cut along the edging on an approximately a 2″ piece of 3/8″ Denim Ribbon. Then fray the ribbon into threads. Use Snail Adhesive to attach the frays to the sentiment piece (refer to project photo). With mini glue dots, layer the 3 ferns and add to the top right edge of the sentiment label behind the frayed ribbon. Embellish with a Dinoroar Enamel Shape.
Assemble the Box:
Put the Clear Tiny Treat Box together. TIP: Don’t forget to remove the plastic film that protects the box.
To create a liner for the box, cut a 6″ x 2″ piece of Mango Melody cardstock. Score at 2″ and 4″ and insert into treat box. For the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper, cut two pieces: 2″ x 4″ (score at 2″) and 2″ x 2″ piece (two pieces are cut so that the print goes in the same direction when inserted into the treat box). Use a mini glue dot at the top of the designer series paper to hold it in place.
To complete the treat box, attach the sentiment label to the box using Stampin’ Dimensionals and add your treat! TIP: For ease in opening the box, put the label on the box back so that the box lid opens from the back. This also keeps the sentiment label in place.
