I have been playing with the DARLING DINOS quite a bit because I think that they are just so cute!

I also wanted to play along with Rachel Tessman's Mystery Stamping

I decided to try out the Angled Front Panel Back Fold Card, but I wanted to try it with some retired paper in case I made a goof - (and I did!)

I pulled out some Designer Paper from my retired stash and ended up making this card for our granddaughter, Lily, for Valentine's Day

I had to do some masking with the wording in order to stagger the sentiment over the fold line.

I punched out a heart from the Designer Paper and then to create the Dino's arms to be in front of the heart I needed to stamp the image a second time, fussy cut the arms out and glue them to the front of the heart.

The "Happy Valentine's Day" is from Country Bouquet - a retired stamp set.

The diagonal pieces on the left hold the card shut.

I also added some of our new gold heart shaped sequins.

"Happy Valentine's Day" was heat embossed with gold onto 1/2" strips of Basic White.

I had some of the heart designer paper left over (the gold embossed stripes are the back side of the heart design) so I thought I would make a card for our other little granddaughter, Mercy.

I wasn't sure what layout I wanted so I browsed through the Mini Catalog and Stampin' Up! put in these handy layout designs for us

I chose to do the 4th pattern from the left on the bottom. But look how handy these are - what great tools for your card making.

I duplicated the colors for the Dino from my first card (Lemon Lime Twist and a little Crumb Cake for his nails), and I also duplicated how I had the Dino hold the heart.

Next up: Making Darling Dino cards for my three little grandsons for Valentine's Day.
