Even More Darling Dinos

Hi stamping friends, I have more projects to share with you using the Darling Dinos stamp set.

The first card is a baby card, dino was coloured in Balmy Blue and Fresh Freesia. The greeting is from the Storybook Friends stamp set. I used a piece of Beautiful Bokeh DSP and a strip of retired Balmy Blue Gingham DSP.

The next card uses the same cute dino, this time coloured with Shy Shamrock Blends. I used a strip of Full of Life DSP on top of an embossed piece of Shy Shamrock card stock. The tiny top hat was coloured in Black and Shy Shamrock Blends Markers. The Shaded Spruce circle was cut with an Everyday Details Die.

The last card has a Highland Heather coloured Dino, holding balloons from the Spring Corners stamp set. The greeting is also from this stamp set. I used a piece of retired DSP (I have sooooo much that I have been holding, it’s time to start using some) for the card front.

I hope you are inspired by my projects, if so theses cute Darling Dinos are only available in the catalogue until the 3rd of May!

Thanks for visiting,

Rachel

Pumpkin Pie Darling Dinos

Hello stampers. I made this card for my team Instagram Hop featuring Pumpkin Pie. I stamped the dinos in Memento Black Ink and coloured with my Blends Markers. The colours I used are listed below.

I have used the Fancy Borders Dies to cut the edge of the card. As I was making this card I was getting very frustrated that the dies are wider than the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine. I wanted to cut the full width to the card base and could not do this with the dies that are too wide.

I finally came up with a solution. I adhered the die to the edge of the cardstock with some Washi Tape.

I placed one of the clear plates from the MINI Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine inside the card.

And then the second plate on top of the front of the card and the die.

I sent this sandwich through the standard Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine.

Voila! The edge of the card base is cut just as I wanted.

I used this technique to cut the edge for my dinosaur card.

The dinos were all cut out with circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 33 - Lost Lagoon Darling Dinos

Welcome to week 33 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop. Lost Lagoon is our feature colour tonight. Lost Lagoon is a dusty, blue/green colour that is in our Subtles colour family.

Darling Dinos are back again! I love these cute little guys! This time I coloured the Dinos with Blends Markers in Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, Basic Black and Balmy Blue.

The background paper is a piece from another new product called Timeless Plaid DSP. Timeless Plaid is available in Jan next year in the Jan to April Mini Catalogue. To add a bit of texture to the DSP I ran it through my Stampin Cut and Emboss Machine with one of the Basics 3 pack Embossing folders, which is an Online Exclusive product.

A piece of Linen Thread was wrapped around both layers and knotted. I then added another piece of thread to the knot and frayed the ends.

I matted the DSP on Lost Lagoon card stock and then mounted it on a Crumb Cake card base.

Hmm, next week I might try and use a different stamp set....or maybe not. Check back next Wednesday night to find out.

Now it's time to head to the next blog in our blog hop which belongs my talented stamping friend Andrea Sargent.

Heart of Christmas week 17 - Last one for 2024 Santa

Last Heart of Christmas Blog Hop for 2024!

I had already made a set of cards for this week before I received my pre order of new products from the Jan to April Mini Catalogue.

One of the sets I ordered was the Darling Dino Bundle. These dinosaurs are so cute. They are wonderful to colour and I have been exploring lots of different possibilities.

This little fellow is one of those possibilities.

I coloured the party hat with a Real Red Blends Marker and added the fluffy boarder with a Black Marker.

The patterned paper used is the Take a Bow DSP. This set will be available to customers in Jan 2025.

Back to the cards I had initially prepared. I stamped the Surfing Santa in Versamark on both Real Red and Shaded Spruce card stock. These were then heat embossed in white.

The background DSP for all these cards is from the Full of Life DSP Pack.. I know they are a little non traditional for Christmas cards but I think they are really fun.

This is my favourite one, I think the background looks a bit like rays of sun light.

I'm a bit sad that this is our last Christmas blog hop for this year, but I will be back with more samples before Christmas.

Now it's time to see what my wonderful stamping friend Cathy Proctor has to delight us with.

If you encounter any issues with the links in our hop please head to the blog belonging to Sharon Davern as she has been the amazing host of our Christmas Blog Hops and has a complete list of tonight's participants.

Thank you for joining us.

Happy stamping,

Rachel
