Dino Days stamp set – kelly kent

Hello! Welcome to a hop with my Stamp Review Crew friends. We come from all around the world and share a love of Stampin’ Up! stamps. Today we’re sharing projects made with the Dino Days stamp set. It comes as part of the Dinoroar suite with coordinating dies (Dino Dies), paper (Dinoroar DSP) and embellishments (Dinoroar Enamel Shapes & 3/8″ Demin Ribbon). Click here to view in the online store.

I’m always on the lookout for new fun folds and found this one (not new, but new to me!). Thanks to Lisa Curcio for the tutorial (click here to see her post).

It’s called a Double Point Fold Card with a front layer that opens to reveal secret stamping underneath! I’ve used Stitched Nested Labels Dies to bridge together the DSP flaps with small magnets to hold it closed when flat. The flap are made from DSP using a simple score line and origami style folding.

The dinosaur stamps in the set are two step to create super cute dino friends I’ve stamped the dino in the middle of the card, but the coordinating dies cut the stamps and DSP images!

I love this DSP because it features a mix of patterns than can be used for boys & girls – because girls like dinosaurs too!!!

The set also contains builder stamps to make a palm tree, dinosaur footprints and cute sentiments. I’ve used the ‘rawrsome’ sentiment on the front of the card…

And then the happy birthday from Seaside Notions on the back of the card. This card doesn’t have a traditional fold, so while you could write your message on the inside where I’ve stamped the dinosaur, I love the idea of having a back panel with more stamping and lots of room for a birthday message.

Hello! How was your weekend? Welcome to another CASEing the Catty blog hop. Today’s theme is a whole page of layouts from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue to CASE.

No photo description available.

I have chosen the card at the top left – with the gorgeous embossing.

I’ve got a few new products I’ve been itching to play with, so I’ve used this layout to try out the new Dinoroar suite.

I kept the embossed background but changed it to one of the new 3D embossing folders – Mosaic.

Note about the new 3D embossing folders: Stampin’ Up! have decided not to make us wait for new embossing folders & dies while they continue to perfect the design on the new cutting & embossing machine. These products will still work with whatever die cutting & embossing machine you own, but you may need some workarounds in the short term. This 3D embossing folder worked in my Big Shot (which is quite a tight roll) with two upcycled shims – a piece of 6″ x 8″ cardboard that comes with our foil packs and a piece of 6″ x 8″ cardboard from a DSP pack. You may have to try a few combinations to see what works in your machine.

I have been loving the beautiful DSP images – and using them often as centrepieces for my cards. This fun pink dino is cut straight from the DSP using one of the dies from the Dino Dies set. So easy, so pretty, so awesome!!!

The thank you sentiment is from another new set in my collection – You Always Deliver. I loved the font style. I’ve used a dino pun sentiment on the inside…

I love that Stampin’ Up! included pink dinosaurs in this design. As a mumma of children who love all the colours in the rainbow, this suite is going to be on high rotation in my craft room!
