Dino Days Christmas Cards/ Updates

Welcome to my blog. Still playing with Dino Days. When I saw the leaf papers from the Dinoroar DSP I thought why not a Christmas card!  I also used Rooted in Nature and the retired Christmas Pines(one of my favorite Christmas bundles).
Materials and Directions:
1. Card base- I used Whisper White cardstock 8-1/2x11 cut@ 5-1/2 then folded at 4-1/4. You get 2 card bases.
2. Layering piece is Dinoroar DSP cut at 4 x 5-1/4. Glue to the front of the card base.
3. From Rooted in Nature I stamped the image on a scrap piece of Whisper White using Soft Suede ink pad. I then fuzzy cut it out and glued to the card front as shown in the picture.
4. I used the dies from Christmas Pines to cut out the leaves in Old Olive, the pine cone in Crumb
Cake, and bow in retired red glitter paper. I also die cut the dinosaur in red glitter as well using the
die from Dino Days.. I then adhered to the front of the card. Here is the card using the other leaf paper.


Updates :

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.
