All About Sugar and No Bones About It

When you get asked for a birthday card for a little boy, don’t you just think of dinosaurs?  This fun card could be for folks of all ages.  You know, the cards that tease you about being older than a dinosaur, or a fossil in this case.

I gave warning that I would be into this set like crazy, and I love every chance I get to use it.  I have a few more children’s birthday cards to make and I think they will all have a dinosaur on them.  Tee hee.

The card itself is very simple.  Narrow borders layered together with some very simple stamping.  I only used three stamps for this card.  I think it looks like this dinosaur is smiling.  I digress…

Simple stamping, basic color pallet, sponging on the edges and a touch of ribbon.  Keeping open spaces on a project isn’t my strength, but when I manage it, I realize that I really do like it.  I just forget.

Have a creative day!

No Bones About It

No, I don’t have little children, and yes, I did have to have this set.  I actually pegged it for a favorite when the new catalog first came out.  It really isn’t the speed of my card group I teach, but I wanted it for myself.  How cute is it?

There are four different dinosaurs in the set, all with matching skeletons, some fossil plant looking stamps, some splats and these awesome footprints.  As well as a few super cool sentiments to go along.

This card was done in mossy meadow and whisper white with no frills.  I embossed the base with the chevron folder and made my layered tag from the tags & labels framelits set.  Plenty of dimensionals for everyone and there you go.  I did accent it a bit with some linen thread using the 1/16″ hand held punch for the knot to show through.

I am going to really enjoy this set a lot, and I mean a lot.

Have a creative day!

Little Buddy Birthday

I have another Valentine’s card set to share, but when I made this last night I just about died of cuteness!  So, it cut in line.  Really, isn’t is just the cutest thing ever?

I know I don’t have little children, but I couldn’t help myself.  And just to validate myself, both of my teenage girls totally fell in love with this little guy!  We all have a weakness for cute things, and this stamp set is no different.  If you haven’t seen it yet, you should.  There is also an adorable toucan and an armadillo.  Yup, an armadillo.  All are so adorable.

I brought in some of that delicious embossed card stock that I really can’t get enough of.  I know it is all pretty and scalloped, but I was thinking of dragon scales here.  My husband agreed right away.  How lucky am I that my family is so involved with my love of paper crafting?

So find yourself some wild wasabi and wisteria wonder and make something adorable.

Have a creative day!
