For Today's card sketch I changed the orientation of the card from portrait (verticle) to landscape (horizontal). While I have had the No Bones About It stamp set on my shelf for some time this is the first opportunity I have had to use it. So many stamps sets and so little time. My grandchildren love this stamp set and will have a grand time changing up the colors and creating some great prehistoric scenes.
This is no ordinary dinosaur stamp set. I just added some dots the back of my dinosaur but you can stamp a skeleton over the solid body image, speckles and even add a party hat to make it a birthday dinosaur. Just let your imagination run wild and pick out some super fun colors. I choose the Pacific Point and Lemon Lime Twist to create this bold and Fun birthday card.
Card Measurements:
- Card Base: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"
- Lemon Lime Twist: 3-1/2" x 4-3/4"
- Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper: 1-3/4" x 4-1/4"
- Whisper White: 2-1/2" x3-3/4"
I added some Glitter Enamel Dots to finish the card off. Be sure and add these to your next order you won't be sorry.

Very cute card! As I read the greeting, my mind flashed….I could see a real skeleton with a party hat on and holding balloons on the front of the card with the caption, “No bones about it!” then on the inside it would say, “it’s your birthday!” I’m sorry…I digress. I am sure your grandchildren would love to get any card you make. This one is really cute. Thank you for sharing your time, talents, and imagination with us.

A bright color combo……very attractive. I just love the new “Eclipse Technique” that is so hot right now. Your partner Allison had some really pretty cards yesterday on her blog. I have looked at the Large Letter dies many a time but they are quite an investment & never really knew if I would use them enough to justify the price. But, now I wish I had them…….but I have found other ways to make those type of cards…….you can use other type of dies for the same effect. I think you once said “use what you have” & it sure makes you stretch your imagination as well as finding other uses for your dies. Thanks for making us look at our stamps & dies in a different “light”.

Hello Barb, that set does have skeletons in it which makes that saying go perfectly so you have a great idea. Really appreciate your comments!

I am so glad I have inspired you to use some of the paper crafting items you might already have. Our wish lists for stamping products is always long enough we will never run out of wants so it is nice to be able to use what we have sometimes to allow us to get other things on our list. I havent made an eclipse card yet and it surely has made the Alphabets popular. Thanks so much for your comment and I am glad I have been able to help you stretch your imagination.

Hi Patsy!!
I have a suggestion. Instead of saying Current Host Code could you please say the Month Host Code? Such as October Host Code instead of current host code. I placed an order in October and used host code FZZCKC7. I just read your 10/22/17 newsletter and the host code is different…PT7VNF6B….Did I use the wrong host code on my order of 10/18/17?
Thanks, Becky

Hello Becky,The host code you used was the correct code and you will earn all the October perks for your order. My codes don’t always go from the first day of the month till the last day. I also have them overlap a bit so people don’t miss them. If the ordering system takes the code it is the correct one as an expired code won’t work in the system. I sent you a PM with more information and appreciate your note. Thanks again so much for letting me be your demonstrator of choice. It’s a big world out there and lots to choose from and I can’t express enough how much I appreciate you! Hugs Patsy
