Dino Days Club Card

I splurged on a light box but have been playing with it for the best results.  So far I need help!  I think that it would be good to go watch YouTube videos!  LOL!  This was a super cute idea based on a card by Stampin Pretty here.  I purposefully pulled out my retiring In Colors to make this card.

Stamps:
Dino Days (retiring)

Colors:  Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover, Grapefruit Grove, Soft Suede (tree trunk)

Supplies:  Big Shot, Rectangle Stitched dies (for the white background), Dino dies (to cut out the dinos), Painted Labels dies (to cut out the sentiment), Call Me Clover ribbon, dimensionals

This one was easy!

1. Stamp the dinos and cut out with dies.
2. Stamp the sentiment and cut out with the die.
3. Cut out the white rectangle and stamp the palm tree.
4. Stamp the circles on the Grapefruit CS.
5. Assemble layers!

Happy stamping!

Instructions:

·       Cut out the square at the top of the white card front.  Stamp the sentiment in Lovely Lipstick and the reptiles in Momento Black ink.  Color the reptiles.

·       Cut out a post it note with a small circle punch. Sponge the entire square LIGHTLY with the yellow ink.   Lay the post it circle on the die cut square.  Sponge heavier in the yellow, then orange and then pink.  Get heavier with color the farther down you sponge.

Day By Day Paper Pumpkin kit

Day By Day November 2018 kit...yes, I am shamed!  I just now pulled this kit out to assemble.  In my defense I am not big on 3D projects because I don't like clutter (dusting required).  LOL!  I mulled it over and decided to make cards. 

My kit came with all of these goodies plus stampin spots of ink.  My daughter loves to stack the spots in a triangle in my cabinet.  Not sure why but it gives her great satisfaction!  LOL!

I added an embossing folder to the mix for texture on the background.  I did have to provide the white card base and the colored layer under the month.  When I give the cards I plan to circle their birth date.  It will be the wrong year but the card is so cute that I am hoping most folks will ignore the year. 

This card showcases the enclosed ribbon and tags.  I ran out of the Pool Party ribbon later and switched to the ribbon I had on hand.  I hope that you are inspired!

Flowering Desert

Check out my pinterest board for more fun ideas.  The inspiration card is there on my board for the Flowering Desert stamp set.  I fell in love with this stamp set when I started to see the gorgeous samples online.  This particular card has fabulous colors (Grapefruit, Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Vanilla and Espresso Brown).  The sponging really adds to the wow factor.  Add a touch of a rougher style ribbon and it is the recipe for success!

Colors: Grapefruit Grove, Very Vanilla, Lovely Lipstick, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso

Stamps:  Flowering Desert

Supplies:  sponges, blocks or Stamparatus,

Happy stamping!
