Dino Days fun fold

Welcome to my blog.

I’m having fun with the Dino Days bundle. Today’s card is a fun fold technique I learned from Karen Titus from Stamping on the Back Porch.
Materials and Directions:
1.  card base- I used Mint Macaron cardstock 8-1/2 x11 cut at 5-1/2and folded at 4-1/4. This gives you 2 card bases.
2.  Layering pieces-
Inside I used Follow your Art DSP cut @ 8 x 5-1/4.
Outside I used Dinoroar DSP cut @ 4x 5-14
3. Whisper White for the inside cut @ 8-1/2x 1-1/4, score @ 2-1/8, 4-1/4, 6-3/8
 fold and glue to the inside as in photo.
4. The dinosaurs I die cut from the Dinoroar DSP. I glued 4 to the inside strip and 2 pterodactyls to
the background using Stampin  dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment on the background.

2. DSP is a a piece of Mosaic Mood cut 4x 5. Glue to the front of the card then with an oval die cut out the center.
3. Scrap Whisper White- stamp dinosaur image (I used coastal cabana). Die cut out and glue to the inside of the card. Also stamp the sentiment inside(I used coastal cabana).
4. Tree- I used scraps I had and die cut them out. I then glued to the front of the card as in the photo.

Dino Days Bundle/mini composition notebook

Welcome to my blog. This weekend I worked on craft fair items. One of which was composition notebooks. I had just gotten Dino Days bundle and the Dinoroar DSP and I couldn’t wait to use it.
The mini notebooks are nice cause they’re easy to carry in your purse or pocket.
Directionss and Materials:
1. Mini notebooks . I got mine at Dollar general. 3 for 1$.
2. Measure the front from the black binding to the side for the width, top to bottom for the length. I do this for each one because the measurements sometimes differ from each one. You need one for the front and back.

3. Once you cut your paper round the corners with a corner rounder(if you don’t have one you can cut the corners after you glue it to the front). Glue the front and back covers.
4. I used the Dino dies to cut out the dinosaurs to decorate the front.
These will make nice gifts and stocking stuffers.
You can buy this bundle on my website. Don’t forget to use the host code on the right for orders less than 150$.
Happy crafting.

Above the Clouds fun fold card

Welcome to my blog. Today I got a chance to play with the Above the Clouds bundle. This is a stamp set with a coordinating punch. I decided to make this tent card.

Materials and Directions:
1. Card base -  4 1/4x5 1/2 cardstock folded in half. I used the new Terracotta Tile.
2. Layering pieces- card stock same color as card base 2 3/4 x 4.
DSP 2 1/2 x 4 I used Woven Threads DSP. Glue to front of the card base.
2 pieces of Whisper White 2 1/2 x 3 3/4. 1 for the inside the card, the other for stamping image on.
3. With 1 of the pieces of the Whisper White stamp the images using the Above the Clouds stamp set.
With a left over piece of the DSP I punched a Hot Air Balloon. I used Stampin dimensionals to adhere to the card. I glued this piece to the colored cardstock and then attached to the card as shown
in picture.

4. I stamped the sentiment on the other piece of Whisper White and glued to the inside.

All of the materials for this project can be found on my website. Be sure to use the Host Code you can find on the right for orders less than 150$.

Free as a Bird Bundle fun simple cards

2. Layering pieces- Whisper White and DSP cut @ 4 x 51/4.
  I used the second biggest stitch nested label die to cut out the middle of each. ( if you don’t have these dies use a shape die you have).

  Glue the rectangular pieces to the front of the Card bases.
3.Labels- For the White one I used a sentiment from Floral Essence. The flowers from Free as a Bird.
The sentiment for the other card is from Free as a Bird too.
