A fun new baby card made using the Dino Days stamp set and Dino dies by Stampin' Up!

Dino Days Front Flap card

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a sweet fun fold card  featuring the quirky new Dino Days stamp youngsters in your life, after all who doesn’t love a dinosaur. The fun fold was inspired by a card made by Wendy Cranford  – click on her name to see her original. I changed the dimensions of the card and used a different stamp set.

To recreate the Dino Days Front Flap card you will need;

Blueberry Bushel 5⅞” by 4⅛”
Whisper White 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Blueberry Bushel 7⅛” by 3¼” scored and folded at 4⅛” on the long side
Whisper White 4” by 3⅛”
Whisper White 3⅛” by 3”
Scrap Whisper White for stamping and die cutting

After cutting all the card stock pieces I stamped the tree trunks in Gray Granite ink on the left and right side of the largest Whisper White panel. I added the leaves in Pear Pizzazz ink. The stamped piece was then added to the largest Blueberry Bushel panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

A gorgeous card for a little girl made usng the Fairy Celebration stamp set

Fairy Celebration and CAS(E) This Sketch #307 challenge

Posted on by

I was making a card today for a friends little daughter, Alys loves dressing up as a princess or a fairy so the Fairy Celebration stamp set was the obvious choice. I used the sketch from the CAS(E) This Sketch #307 challenge for this card.

Making the card

I stamped the gorgeous winged fairy in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap panel of Whisper White cardstock and die cut the image using a Stitched Oval from the Stitched Shapes Die set. I die cut a scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals dies from Highland Heather cardstock and adhered the two layers together with liquid glue.

Using my Paper Trimmer I cut a piece of Botanical Butterfly dsp to 3⅝” by 2½” and adhered it, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, to the bottom of a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝”. This panel was added to a panel of Highland Heather measuring 5½” by 3¾” and the whole piece was added with the same adhesive to the front of a Soft Sea Foam card base.

I stamped the ‘magic sprinkles’ in Soft Sea Foam ink onto the stamped oval and near the top of the Whisper White panel. The stamped fairy was then added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the fairy’s wings and magic sparkles and added a scattering of Iridescent Sequins for a bit of sparkle.

Sweet Animal Outings card featuring the Giraffes by Stampin' Up!

Animal Outings gorgeous Giraffes

Posted on by

Today I have been playing with the quirky Animal Outing stamp set. I was lucky enough to go to OnStage in April and this was an all attendee gift ……..lucky me. For those that don’t know OnStage is the fantastic twice yearly event  for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators where we get together to try out new product, new techniques and generally have a fantastic crafty time. This is the first time I have had a chance to play with this fabulous set.

Making the Card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Animal Outings Giraffes by Stampin’ Up!

I started by stamping the circle from the Swirly Frames stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 3 ½” by 3 ½”. I then cut this out using the Layering Circle dies and my Big Shot. I masked off the edge of the die cut circle and stamped the sweet leaf image randomly on the inside of the circle. Using a Blender Pen I pulled in the colour from the edges of the leaves to give them a little depth.

Taking some scrap Whisper White cardstock I stamped 2 giraffes from the Animal Outings stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and die cut both images using the Animal Friends dies and my Big Shot. I coloured both images using the Light and Dark Daffodil Delight and the Light and Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends.

I added the stamped circle to a panel of Whisper White measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and placed the giraffes onto  the circle, one with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the other on Stampin’ Dimensionals…….. they looks so cute.

I rounded the upper left and lower right corners with the Detailed Trio Punch and added the panel to a layer of So Saffron cardstock  5⅝” by 3⅞” with identical rounded corners. I then added the panel to a Granny Apple Green card base with the same rounded corners.

I punched out a number of leaves from Granny Apple Green cardstock using the Leaf Punch and tucked them around the circle.

This is such a sweet card. I hope you like it.
