I Love You THIS Much!

Do you ever have days where you wake up and feel like you didn't even sleep at all?  I had one of those days today...absolutely exhausted with a nagging headache that just won't go away.  I don't feel awful, but felt yucky enough that I decided to stay home from work.  I've spent most of my day in bed or on the couch, but I did have a little burst of energy and spent a little time in my craft room playing along with this weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I've been having a lot of fun with all of the new products from the Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Catalogs, but I've also been pulling out some of my favorites from the Annual Catalog too.  The Dinoroar Suite is one of my favorites and is perfect for some fun Valentine's for your dino-loving kiddos!

I cut the friendly little dinos from the Dinoroar DSP using the coordinating Dino Dies.  I love that Stampin' Up! is coordinating more suites like this!  

The only stamping on these cards is the sentiment and the little spots on the hearts.  So sweet and simple!

Isn't it great when you can pair up items from multiple catalogs?!?!  I love the Heart Punch Pack from the Occasions Catalog.  The heart was the perfect addition to these loving dinos!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Pool Party, Old Olive, Mango Melody, Whisper White, Dinoroar DSP

Ink ~ Pretty Peacock, Pool Party, Mango Melody

Stamp Set ~ Dino Days

Other Supplies ~ Dino Dies, Heart Pack Punch

Here's to hoping that what ever has me down today passes quickly!  This momma doesn't have time to be sick!

Happy Stamping!

Look Who's Hatched ~ HSSSC#320

Good morning stampers!  I'm running a bit behind in getting my post up today, but I'm excited to share this weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge #320 with you!

Some of our fire family friends recently had their second baby, a sweet baby boy.  We will be seeing them next week and I wanted to make sure to have a card for them.  The adorable Dinoroar suite was perfect for the occasion.  The cute egg die is just the best for creating new baby cards!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Old Olive, Mango Melody, Whisper White, Dinoroar DSP

Ink ~ Old Olive, Mango Melody, Pretty Peacock

Stamp Set ~ Dino Days

Other Supplies ~ Dino Dies, Dinoroar Enamel Shapes, Denim Ribbon, Everyday Label Punch, Layering Circle Dies

I pulled the denim threads from the ribbon to create the frayed bow...this ribbon is great!  

After I got this card put together, I realized the Mango Melody circle looks like the yoke of an egg...not what I had planned, but it all worked out!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a terrific Tuesday!

Happy Stamping!

RAWRsome Friend-a-Saurus ~ Monday Montage

Welcome back to Monday Montage!!!  We have another fabulous hop in store for you this week!  Make sure you click on the links below so you don't miss any of the creations...we promise you will love them all! 
Another weekend has come and gone...summer break is going by way too fast!  I've decided that I want to be a kid again and go on all of the fun adventures my boys are going on this summer.  My twins spent the first part of last week at the lake, took in a crazy concert over the weekend and are headed out again today for a few days on the river.  My youngest got to spend a couple days at the river AND hang out with his friend at his pool.  My hubby worked some crazy shifts this week while I tried to keep up with everything at home...we need to be kids again!  This adulting stuff is for the birds!

At least I did have some fun at my monthly stamp class AND found a few hours to create a couple more RAWRsome Dino Days cards.  I had hopes of making a set of 3, but my time got away from me and I only ended up getting 2 done.  This one is fitting for a boy...

...and this one is fitting for a girl.

I love that this DSP has colors and patterns that are for both boys and girls!  I see this suite being used for several birthday cards this year.  My youngest has been having fun watching me make these cards and is anxious to make his own.  And the dies are SO MUCH FUN!  The little dots and triangles are so good for creating multicolored dinos.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Lovely Lipstick, Pool Party, Whisper White, Old Olive, Pretty Peacock, Mango Melody, Dinoroar DSP

Ink ~ Pretty Peacock, Mango Melody, Old Olive, Pool Party, Lovely Lipstick

Stamp Set ~ Dino Days

Other Supplies ~ Dino Dies

RAWRsome #TGIFC220 Sketch Challenge

It's Friday!  And we all know what that means...time for an all new TGIF Challenges!  This week we have a sketch for you to play along with and we can't wait to see what you create!

When I first saw the sketch, I was going to go with flowers, but after I got my box of new stamps and supplies, I knew I had to use the RAWRsome new Dino Days stamp set!

The Crackle Paint background stamp went along perfectly with the egg pattern Dinoroar DSP!  Keeping with the cracked egg theme, I had the fun little diner jumping out of the egg with Happy Birthday wishes!

I love ALL of the colors in the Dinoroar Suite!  They are fun for boys and girls and just so darn cheerful!  

I still haven't put this stamp set away, so be watching for a couple more cards created with this RAWRsome suite!

RAWRsome DINOROARS!

HORRAY!  My order arrived earlier this week and have been happily wasting STAMPING my days away.  Don't worry, I've only got one kid at home this week and he's still being fed! :D  Just kidding...I haven't been spending ALL of my time in my craft room, but I have been able to spend a few hours each day creating and it has been the BEST!

Have you noticed in the last few Stampin' Up! catalogs that some of the amazing DSP coordinates with some of the dies?  This is GENIUS!  This is a great way to create a quickly create a card!

 With just a few snips of a section of DSP, you can cut down a few of the images to easily cut out with the coordinating dies.  Share this with your customers and show them how easily this can be done!

With just a couple of stamps, this card was so easy to put together.  Especially since I cased one of the cards in the Dinoroar suite on page 100 of the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.  I added a few more layers and an extra dinosaur, but it's pretty darn close.  Once again, don't forget to share CASEING with your customers...it's a great way to help them get started on projects!

Don't you just love the colors in this bright and cheerful Dinoroar DSP?  It's so great to have a combination of colors that works for boys and girls!  I'm loving the Pretty Peacock and Lovely Lipstick together!

Now that I've wasted spent part of my day stamping, it's time to take my youngest to the pool.  It's been fun having just one child home for part of the week, but I'm ready for my twins to come home...I've missed them!  I'm not sure if I can say the same for them...they've been texting me all of the fun things they've been doing at their friends lake house!   I can't wait to hear the rest of their stories tonight!

Be sure to check back again on Friday!  I'll have another RAWRsome project to share with you!

Happy Stamping!
