Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a sketch. I have made my card using the adorable Darling Dinos stamp set and Dies.
Colours used in this card are:
To recreate the darling dinos card, you will need:
Basic Beige card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Country Woods dsp – 4⅝” by 3¾”
Peach Pie card – 3¾” by ⅜” x 2
Basic White card – 4½” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Lost Lagoon card
To the top and bottom of the panel of Country Woods dsp, I adhered the strips of Peach Pie card leaving about ⅛” of the card showing. I then tore about 1½” off the bottom of the dsp and set the pieces to one side.

From the piece of Basic White card measuring 4½” by 3”, I die cut a label using the Countryside Corners Dies.

With Granny Apple Green ink, I stamped the ‘grass’ all along the bottom of the label in 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation ink. A Blending Brush and Pool Party ink were used to add colour to the top of the label. The speckles were added to give texture using a stamp from the Country Birdhouse stamp set and the same Pool Party ink.
I added the leaves, from the Heart Shaped stamp set in Granny Apple Green at the top of the panel.

The sweet dinosaurs were stamped in Pebbled Path ink onto scrap Basic White card, die cut using the Darling Dinosaur Dies and coloured using Blends Pens – Pool Party and Lost Lagoon for one and Peach Pie and Cajun Craze for the other. These were glued to the label.

At this point I placed the pieces of dsp onto the card front, moving them until I was happy with the position. I then added the decorated label on top with Dimensionals only on the top and bottom. A piece of White Baker’s Twine was fed through, under the label and secured on the back with Sellotape. The whole piece was then glued to the card front.

The sentiment was stamped on scrap Lost Lagoon card with Pebbled Path ink. I trimmed it down with Scissors and added it to the card front. A twine bow and a trio of 2024 – 2026 In Color Shimmer Gems completed the card.
