Pieces & Patterns & Dinosaur's - OH MY!

Happy Monday stampin friends!

 

Between a full day of baseball on Saturday and stamp club on Sunday, I didn't have much time for stamping this weekend, but I did manage to get one card, thanks to this month's fun SSINK Card Sketch!

And even though I only had time to make one card, I had the chance to play with a few of my pre-order items!  The Pieces & Pattern's stamp set and fun Pick a Pattern DSP paper were perfect for a birthday card for my son's friend who has a birthday this week!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Emerald Envy, Whisper White, Pick a Pattern DSP

Ink ~ Emerald Envy, Crushed Curry

Stamp Sets ~ Pieces & Patterns, No Bones About It

Other Supplies ~ Seaside Embossing Folder, Circle Punches, 2016-2018 Enamel Shapes

 

I love that the No Bones About It stamp set paired well with the cute dino in the new Pieces & Patterns stamp set!

Happy Stamping!

 

 

Dino Adventure Birthday

Happy Friday stampers!

 

And Happy 5th Birthday to my baby boy!  It seems crazy that my sweet boy is already 5...time goes by way too fast!

 

With the craziness of our house selling and getting ready to move, we didn't make any firm birthday party plans since we had no idea where we would be when his birthday rolled around.  I've got a little mom guilt going on because of this, but we will be making up for it when we get moved to our new house with and end of summer party.  We decided we would just have one big party to celebrate his birthday, my hubby's birthday, the new house and everything else we have missed this summer!  We aren't letting today go uncelebrated though!  We are headed to the pool today to have some fun and will have a little family dinner tonight at his favorite pizza place.

 

Owen has grown up in my craft room and can always be found at my feet playing with his toys while I stamp.  He always wants to know who I'm making a card for and when my next stamp club is so he can see all my stamping friends, who he has made sure are all his friends too!  I asked him what kind of birthday card he wanted this year and he was quick to tell me he wanted a T-Rex card.   He's 100% boy and loves his dinosaurs :)

 

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Smoky Slate, Cucumber Crush, Basic Gray, Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, Basic Black, Real Red, Neutrals DSP, Window Sheet

Ink ~ Cucumber Crush, Bermuda Bay, Smoky Slate, Tangerine Tango, Real Red, Basic Black

Stamp Sets ~ No Bones About It, Always An Adventure, Number of Years, Labeler Alphabet

I had so much fun creating the volcano background for the T-Rex!  It's always awesome when you can find two unrelated items and put them together to make a super fun card!

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

 

Happy Stamping!

Botanical Dinosaurs

Happy {masculine} Monday!!!  I hope you all survived Thanksgiving and Black Friday!  My family had a nice, quiet Thanksgiving and I totally avoided Black Friday.  I'll stick with Cyber Monday shopping from the comfort of my own home :-) Don't forget to shop the Online Extravaganza today too...it's the last day!

In addition to Thanksgiving, we celebrated the birthday of our good friend Ethan.  He is my youngest sons best buddy and they are as thick as thieves together!  We can never trust them along!  We got Ethan a cool dinosaur for his birthday (which I was later informed was a tooting dinosaur...sorry Erica!) so I decided to make a fun dinosaur card to go with it...perfect for Masculine Monday over at Stylin' Stampin' Inspiration too.

The new Botanical Gardens DSP in the upcoming Occasions Catalog was the perfect addition to these marching dinos!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Mint Macaron, Cajun Craze, Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow, Whisper White, Botanical Gardens DSP

Ink ~ Mint Macaron, Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow

Stamp Set ~ No Bones About It

Other Supplies ~ Botanical Builder Framelits, Itty Bitty Punch Pack (stars), Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Tags and Labels Framelits

I had a lot of fun with these colors!  These are not colors I would normally use together, but I loved how they all worked together.

Be sure to head on over to SSINK and check out the rest of the teams masculine cards!

Happy Stamping!
