Ready for Fall Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stamp It Team Fall Blog Hop! I hope you have been enjoying the hop so far and welcome from Christina Miller's blog - she always has such great ideas and instructions! Make sure you read all the way to the end to see some news I have to share as well!

I don't know about you - but it seems like as soon as the kids are back at school there are always a ton of birthday parties and I was always running to get a present and a card! The cards I made today can solve all of those last minute problems! This design is so versatile you can use any of our beautiful Designer Series paper with this same design - and its very easy to create many of the same card to have a nice stash!

I loved the Dinoroar DSP as soon as I first saw the holiday catalog! While I bought the paper, I have not yet bought the stamps & dies so I had to think a bit outside the box! My first love is always the paper so I often make that the focus of my design….

Here I used Mango Melody card bases cut at 4 ¼” v 11”, scored at 5 ½”. I then cut 1 ½” from the front side of the card, set that aside. The DSP is cut at 3 ¾” x 4”, and I cut a card insert in Whisper White at 4” x 5 ¼”. I cut a scrap of Whisper White at 1 ¼” x 4 ¼” that I mounted on the piece of Mango Melody that was cut from the card front.

Since as I said I did not but the adorable stamps yet – I had to think creatively about the sentiments. Using Pretty Peacock (my new favorite In-Color) I stamped the flower cluster from the Royal Peacock stamp set and Wildly Happy sentiment from the Wildly Happy stamp set. I cut the word Birthday from the Word Wishes dies set (such a versatile die set!) in Pool Party.  Because the paper had so much going on (in a good way) – I mounted the word on a piece of Pretty Peacock cut with the Classic Label punch. It also made it that much easier to add mini dimensionals to pop the word up for even more pop!
