Welcome to the monthly Blog Hop by Let’s Craft Together and thank you for joining us. We are a group of multi-cultural Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators in Australia who have developed a strong friendship though our love of stamping and our admiration of each other’s style of crafting.
The challenge this month was to use a non-Christmas product to make a Christmas project! This was a fun challenge and it had me scratching my head for a while, I did think I could do floral images coloured in Christmas colours but that didn't really grab me. I flicked through my stamp sets for inspiration and came to Darling Dinos and knew they would be perfect.
I planned out a card with the dinosaurs on each side of the sentiment "Roar means ... in Dinosaur" knowing I'd add a Christmas sentiment in the middle. As the card evolved I added the cute little Christmas eggs cut from Christmas Tags & More 6"x6" Specialty DSP pack sponging the edges so they stood out from the green and red dinosaurs. I also used some of the pre-cut images from the DSP pack for the gifts between the two dinos. I was initially disappointed to find that I didn't have any Christmas sentiments that would fit, then I remembered the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack which had the perfect sized sentiment. To make it stand out I added Real Red with my blending brush and popped it up on Dimensionals. A few stamped-off fir trees in the background and I think it all came together really well. I know my grandson will love it!
