Darling Dinos Dies Archives - HIPPOFROG Designs

This is third card from this month’s Card Making class. All of July’s projects were around the ‘For the Children’ theme.

This bright and fun dino certainly fits the theme. It uses the Darling Dinos Stamp Set and coordinating Darling Dinos Dies from the Online Exclusives Range.

My colours were Lemon Lime Twist, Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight, with additional Granny Apple Green for the stamping of the sentiment and dino.

First the sentiment from the stamp set was added to the background. Next, a section was masked and multiple hats were stamped across the bottom.

These were coloured with Stampin’ Blends in Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight.

A strip of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock then covered the masking line.

An additional hat and the dino were then stamped onto a separate piece of cardstock. The hat was cut out using the Dies and the dino using a Circle Punch. Again, the punch is from the Online Exclusives range.

Using Stampin’ Blends, the hat and dino were coloured.

To finish, the hat was attached to the dino and the whole piece was raised up on Dimensionals.

At last week’s Card & Cuppa Class we used the fun Darling Dinos Bundle from the new Mini Catalogue.

When I saw this cute stamp set and dies bundle, it just had to fall into my shopping basket!

As I was asked for a new baby card, this design, inspired by the Mini Catalogue seemed like the perfect project.

It uses Lemon Lolly and Lemon Lime Twist as the main colours, with other stamping in Smoky Slate.

Firstly, using a Blending Brush, the grassy green area was created. This was then stamped over with grass tufts and rocks.

Meanwhile, a the dinosaur was stamped onto a separate piece and cut out using the dies. Egg pieces were also cut out using the dies.

The egg was then given some stamped speckles.

I don’t have anyone in my circle who has a baby on the way so my sentiment is a Birthday one. It’s from the stamp set and stamped onto Lemon Lolly cardstock.

Using Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen, the rocks, dinosaur and edge of the egg pieces were coloured in.

After attaching the sentiment to the card and cutting off any overhang, the egg pieces were glued to the dinosaur. The dinosaur needs a little bit of surgery to remove the tail to allow it to fit in the egg!

Dimensionals are then used to attach the dinosaur to the project.

Finally, coordinating adhesive-backed shiny sequins in Lemon Lime Twist, currently in the Last Chance Products category, are added.
