Darling Dinos - Anniversary Wishes

Welcome to my blog.  I'm starting off the week by sharing my thoughts on some of the products in Stampin' Ups! new January to April Mini catalogue.  I have two or three favourites and the first I want to tell you about is called Darling Dinos which can be found on page 51 of the mini cattie.  It's Dino-mite!

The Darling Dinos stamp and dies were chosen by Diane Gibbs as a reward for being one of  the latest  Million dollar sellers for Stampin' Up! The Darling Dinos  set which comes in English and French can be purchased separately or as a bundle.  This 25-piece photopolymer stamp set and 16 dies work perfectly with DSP, blending, stand alone or combined with images from other other stamp images and dies.  Colouring these chubby little dinos brings them to life in so many ways that you'll never run out of creative ideas.  

I know a lot of folks will  look at this bundle and think yeah that's a cute stamp set for kids projects, but hang on for a minute before you pass it by.  Just think of all the fun possibilities for adult cards with this set - birthdays, anniversaries, retirement and the list goes on.

So to get your mind thinking in those terms here is an anniversary card I made for my hubby using this set.  But shhhhhhh!!! Our anniversary is this coming weekend and I still want to surprise him.  We've been married for 50+ years and dated for a couple before we tied the knot, so I consider us "dinosaurs" in this day and age.
