Card Details & Supplies

Here’s a closer look at the products I used to bring this card to life:

Darling Dinos Bundle – The cutest dino stamps and coordinating dies!
Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder – Adds amazing texture to the background.
Pack Your Bags Twine – A perfect finishing touch.
Rainbow Adhesive Back Dots – Because every card needs a little embellishing!
Stampin’ Blends in Granny Apple Green/Shaded Spruce, Azure Afternoon/Fresh Freesia, and Pretty in Pink/Calypso Coral for smooth blending!

Fun Popped Up Panel Layout: A Unique Twist!

This isn’t your typical card—here’s how I created the popped up panel effect:

📏 Card Base: Start with a 4-1/4” x 11” piece of cardstock, scored at 5-1/2”.
✂️ Modify the Front Panel: Cut the front panel in half at 2-3/4” and turn it sideways to create the pop-up effect!
🌟 Decorate & Assemble: Layer your stamped & die-cut dinos, add textured details with the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder, and finish with twine and embellishments!

💡 Pro Tip: This layout is a great way to add dimension and interest while still fitting in a standard envelope!
