A Christmas Dinosaur

I first saw this Christmas dinosaur digital stamp on Instagram and knew I had to have him and the other 2 Christmas dinosaurs the designer, Three Room Studio, has in her Etsy shop. My boys have always loved dinosaurs but my 19 year old REALLY loves them so I made this card with him in mind. We both agreed that since neither one of us like coffee or tea that the dinosaur is drinking hot chocolate :) 

I cut up a sentiment from SU's No Bones About It set and paired it with a sentiment from MFT to get my dinosaur Christmas greeting.

Thanks for stopping by!

Haven't Seen You in Ages

I'm trying to get back into crafty mode now that the holidays are winding down so I played along with Freshly Made Sketches. 

As you can see the sketch is for a square card but since I'm not really a fan of square cards I just used the sketch on a regular A2 size card. I used the Stitched Mountain Range from MFT for the large square, die cutting the top of the CS and then cutting the rest of it into a square shape. I used MFT's Tall Grassy Edge to place grass along the bottom of the square and then added the dinosaurs into the scene. I wanted my sentiment on the front somewhere so I stamped it on another piece of Crumb Cake and adhered it to the square so the sentiment was along the bottom of the little scene. My 18 year old loves dinosaurs and he gave his seal of approval to this card LOL

Thanks for stopping by and please, if you go out to celebrate for NYE do not drink and drive!

I've got 2 boys and they have always loved dinosaurs. My 17 yr old is especially fond of them and as a huge movie buff he really enjoys all the Jurassic Park movies. As soon as I saw the Prehistoric Pals set I had to have it so I could make dino cards for my boys!

I wanted the scene to be the focus of the card so I used the layout from the sketch and surrounded it with white space so the colors from the scene would really pop.

Colorful Dino's for Sunday Stamps

This week at Sunday Stamps we have a sketch and I did things a little differently. Normally I am very literal and create my project exactly as the sketch is laid out but this time I turned it and then used dinosaur shapes instead of circles.

My 16 year old is a huge Jurassic Park fan. He has loved the movies his entire life and has followed the new Jurassic World movie since the idea was first leaked. He's already seen the new movie 4 times, he loves it! When I saw the set No Bones about It in the new SU catalog I just had to get it for him.

My son is very outgoing, he's the class clown and just loves to have a good time so to go along with the dino's I wanted to use bold colors to be a sort of reflection of my sons personality. I used Mossy Meadow, Tip Top Taupe and Delightful Dijon for the dinosaurs and then Cucumber Crush for the sentiment. The background was made using the Watercolor Wash background stamp and the colors Tangelo Twist and Blackberry Bliss, with sponging around the edges done with Hello Honey.. The dinosaurs and the sentiment panel are all popped up with dimensionals.

This may not be my typical kind of card but my son loved it and that's all that matters!

Head over to the Sunday Stamps blog to see what the rest of the DT did and then play along with us!
