Isn’t this just the cutest? I don’t usually buy juvenile sets, but the entire Dinoroar Suite is irresistible!  If you need a little cuteness for many occasions, then the Dino Days stamp set is for you. It’s really is “Rawr-some”!

For this card I stamped only the sentiment and the spine for the Dinosaur. The Dinosaurs are die cut from the DSP! Stampin’ Up! often does a Designer Paper which has the images matched to the dies. It makes an easy project!  And gives your card a really finished look.  From whimsical thank you cards to birthday cards to baby congrats, this set has it all.  And the nice thing? You will be laughing the whole time you are stamping!  Not that you don’t already do that. We stampers tend to be a happy bunch, don’t we?  Check out all the wonderfulness of the Dinoroar Suite by clicking on the image below.

Today’s card features not only items from the Woven Heirlooms set, but it is a challenge card for #GDP197!

Every now and then a Color Challenge will come up at Global Design Project and I wonder, “who thinks of these color combinations?”  At first glance, they may seem too much of a challenge, but I am always impressed and love the challenge of making something work with them. 

When I have a difficult Color Challenge like this, the first place I start is Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Papers. These beautiful papers are perfectly matched back to all my Stampin’ Up! papers and inks, so it is likely I will find a paper to get me started.  To aid with DSP as my inspiration,  I am lucky to have sample books for every set of current Stampin’ Up! DSP. Having a sampler makes it so easy to research colors and plan out a design. If you want one of the best sampler sets, check This One out. They are not available all the time, but you can at least get yourself on a list to be notified when they do become available.

After looking at all the color possibilities in my DSP sampler books, I settled on one from the Woven Threads DSP.  It had the Seaside Spray I needed and a touch of Terracotta Tile. I decided Pear Pizzaz would be the base color, Terracotta Tile the accent color and Seaside Spray the background color. I love the sentiments from the Woven Heirlooms set and stamped one of them in Basic Gray as the black was too harsh for this color scheme. The sentiment was die cut with a Stitched Circle and banners behind the sentiment reinforced the color combination. Nobody was more shocked than me, but I thought it came out great!

Garden Goodness may not be at the top of everyone’s list, but if you love gardening, cooking, and vintage looks, this is one to check out!  Not only is it one of the most affordable sets in the catalog, it also has some lovely sentiments. I always love the fruit and vegetable stamp sets and I loved this the moment I saw it. With other fruits and vegetable sets I have had mixed results. But the stamping with this set is stupendous! I get really great impressions and I love the vintage look.

These are not marked as “distINKtive” stamps. But they stamp a lot like a “distINKtive” stamp. I am going to try a few more designs with more color. But I kept loving the “green on green on green with this one, so I went with it!

Soft Sea Foam is like my new neutral. I used it as the background to stamp the pea pods in Pear Pizzaz and the sentiment in Mossy Meadow. I tried it with Very Vanilla. But I really loved the Soft Seafoam as the “neutral” for  this DSP.

So for cards, recipe books, gift tags and packaging, I think Garden Goodness has a lot of possibilities!
