Don’t forget to visit the participating blogs (links are indicated below) and leave us some crafty love.
Here’s what the stamp set look like:
Here’s is my first card:
Card recipe:
- stamp the Caffeinated Dino image on some Neenah classic crest solar white card stock and color him in with alcohol markers (or any medium of your choice).
- die-cut the image using Brother Scan N Cut 2 machine.
- die-cut an A2 size Neenah solar white card stock using the cross stitch die.
- use a stamp set to stamp the floor image.
- use the coffee molecule stamp from the Caffeinated Dino stamp set and stamp it with Memento desert storm ink.
- stamp the bubbles from the Sofishticated stamp using the same ink and color with alcohol markers.
- adhere the dinosaur image onto the foreground to finish the design.
Here’s a closer look:

For my second project, I only used the new Sassy Sentiments stamp set with some dies from my stash.
- start with an A2 size panel of Bristol smooth white card stock.
- use rainbow-colored distress oxide inks with the mini ink blending tools to color the background.
- use distress sprayer to spray water on the background and pick it up with some paper towel.
- use a hearts stencil and the moonstone glimmer past to add from dimension to the colored background. Let it dry for about half an hour.
- adhere this background on an A2 size card base.
- die-cut the banner strip using a banner strip die and stamp the sentiment.
- adhere the banner strips with foam tape on the card.
- die-cut the “Friend” sentiment on some black card stock (3 times) and adhered them together. Add this piece to the card.
Here’s a little close-up:
