Darling Dinos - Hope Your Birthday is Dino-mite

Hello Stampers,

I can't believe that I haven't made a card yet with the Darling Dinos bundle yet. I thought they were so cute, so I really wanted to make a card using some primary colors with the set using a sketch I used recently.

I started by stamping one of the dinos, string & balloon onto Basic White Cardstock using Memento Black Ink, then coloring the images Pumpkin Pie, Shaded Sprucein using  & what was supposed to be Real Red was actually Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. Next, I stamped the hat using the same ink then coloring it in using the 3 colors above along with Blueberry Bushel Stampin' Blends Combo Packs, die-cut it then layered the image onto Blueberry Bushel Cardstock. On the Pumpkin Pie, Shaded Spruce & Real Red Cardstocks I used the same color of inks to add the hat & balloon to each of them, before adding them to a Blueberry Bushel Cardstock base. Lastly, I stamped a sentiment from the set using the Blueberry Bushel Ink Pad, fussy cut the banner ends & then added Stampin' Dimensionals to pop the sentiment up.

Sweet Jar - Sending A Little Sweetness Your Way

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was inspired by another old sketch, this time by Dee Slater with a few sneak peeks of things that are coming in just 5 more days as Online Exclusives.

I started this card with a Basic White Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Pretty In Pink Cardstock. I used 2 strips of a new DSP called Celebratory Sips, then for the middle I used an old In Color that is coming back as part of the new 2025-2027 In Colors called Strawberry Slush, I loved this color the first time it came out, so happy they are bringing back an old favorite now with the yearly In Colors. I somehow missed that Dazzling Droplets Stamp retired, but it is the background I used with Strawberry Slush Ink as an added texture to the cardstock. I used the Sweet Jar bundle to stamp the jar parts & the cookies onto Basic White Cardstock using Gray Granite, Early Espresso, Pecan Pie Ink Pads, I used the Pool Party Stampin' Blends Combo Pack & the Color Lifter to add just a hint of color & then added Wink Of Stella to add a bit of shininess to make it look a bit of glass. For the sentiment, I used the Nested Essentials Dies to die cut a rectangle for my sentiment which I stamped using Pretty In Pink & Strawberry Slush Ink Pads, then popped it up using Stampin' Dimensionals. As a final touch I added a Drusy Embellishment to the handle part of the jar.

So Sincere - So Very Proud Of You

Hello Stampers,

I came across an old sketch yesterday that was made by an online friend that passed last year & thought I'd make a card using it.

I started this card with a retiring Wild Wheat Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Lost Lagoon Cardstock that I embossed using the So Swirly 3D Embossing Folder. Next, I cut 3 strips of Everyday Happiness DSP 1 1/4"x 4, 4.5 & 5". I punched a circle using Basic White Cardstock, then stamped a sentiment from the retiring So Sincere Stamp Set using the retiring Wild Wheat Ink Pad. I stamped the flower & leaves from the Hearts Of Elegance Stamp Set onto Basic White Cardstock using Lost Lagoon & Gray Granite Ink Pads then die-cut them using the dies. Lastly, I added a few retired 2023-25 In Color Dots to finish the card.

Playing In The Rain - Oh Happy Day!

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was inspired by this week's final pre-challenge before this weekends Creativate Spring. It's a simple looking sketch with the added DSP in the top corner.

I chose to use the retiring Playing In The Rain Stamp Set, I just love the little animal characters in the set. I stamped the rabbit onto Basic White Cardstock using Memento Black Ink, then colored it in using Smoky Slate, Pool Party & Petal Pink Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. I then masked the rabbit to add some rain using the Pool Party Ink Pad, before adding the focal image to a layer of Smoky Slate & Basic White Cardstock. For the next layer, I used Smoky Slate Cardstock & added strips from the retiring Shades & Hues DSP, before adding this layer to the Smoky Slate Cardstock base. I used the Pool Party Ink Pad again to add one of the sentiments to Basic White Cardstock then used a retired 1 1/2" circle punch to punch it out, then used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. Lastly, I added a few Rainbow Dots to finish the card.

Serene Love DSP - Everyday Occasions

Hello Stampers,

Today I made 3 cards using all but 1 1/4" of a 6x6 piece of DSP, these were inspired by last week's Creativate Spring pre-challenge.

A lot of the product used on these cards are on the Last Chance list. I started this card using Serene Love DSP, cut it as directed then back each piece with Basic White Cardstock. The layer behind each of these focal points is Night Of Navy Cardstock which was embossed using the Dashing Designs, Distressed Tile, & Fern 3D Embossing Folders. Next, I used the Unbounded Love Bundle & the Everyday Details Stamp Set for the sentiments using the Night Of Navy Ink Pad & Basic White Cardstock, each sentiment was then popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few embellishments from the Neutral Matte Dots or the Iridescent Pearls.
