A Fun Fold Every Stamper will love! Dino-Mite Cardmaking

Let’s talk about a card that brings the fun—literally! If you’re looking for a project that adds a little extra roar to your crafting, you’re in the right place. Today, let’s play with the Darling Dinos stamp set and the vibrant Fruit Salad DSP (which, by the way, is FREE during Sale-A-Bration with a qualifying purchase through February 28—or until it’s extinct!). Whether you’re a new stamper or a seasoned pro, this fun fold is easy to create and adds an extra pop to your handmade cards.

A Roaring Good Fun Fold

This isn’t just any card—it’s a fun fold design that showcases the adorable dinos while letting the bright, cheerful colors of the Fruit Salad DSP shine. I love that it showcases both side of this double-sided paper. But, what’s the best part? It’s beginner-friendly while those experienced stampers looking for something fresh will love it too!

A Fun Fold Every Stamper Will Love! Let’s Bring This Dino-Mite Card to Life

1. Prepare the Base – Start with Granny Apple Green cardstock as your card base. No scoring or folding needed here! This will serve as the sturdy foundation for your design.

2. Create the Folded DSP Element – Cut the Fruit Salad DSP to 6″ x 5 1/4″ and score at 4″ along the 6″ side. This will create a fun interactive flap that adds dimension and movement to your card.

3. Layer Up! – Adhere the Fruit Salad DSP to the Granny Apple Green base, aligning the folded section to create the interactive effect. The bold, playful patterns make the perfect backdrop for our dino friends.

4. Stamp & Color the Stars of the Show – Using Memento Tuxedo Black, stamp your Darling Dinos onto the Basic White mat. Bring them to life with Granny Apple Green, Summer Splash, and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends. For the rocks, use Naturals #5 & #6 for realistic shading.

5. Adding the Details – Stamp the grasses in Granny Apple Green and accent with small Poppy Parade flowers for a lush, prehistoric look. Stamp the sentiment & add a few details– Using Memento Tuxedo Black, stamp your sentiment, a tuft of grass and some flowers with Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade, & Memento Inks on the remaining Basic White mat. This will be placed on the inside of your card.

6. Embellish & Assemble – Adhere the Basic White pieces, each, to the Granny Apple Green mats. Once your layers and images are in place, Adhere the sentiment to the inside of the card. Fold the DSP flap and secure the remaining mat to the front of the flap. *Be sure it is directly over the inside mat, so it doesn’t show. Then, add 3 Red Glossy Dots for a finishing touch that makes the whole card pop!
