Dinosaur Pop-Up Card

This is a 5"x5" pop-up card. I used a light blue cardstock for the card base. I cut a piece of shimmery dark blue cardstock 1/8" smaller than the card base. I cut two pieces of the grass patterned paper at 2 1/4"x4 5/8." I then embossed it with the Seeing Spots embossing folder. The dinosaur is cut at 2 3/4". I embossed the blue layer with the Tiny Bubbles folder. I used buttons for his spots and gave him some google eyes. I cut some light purple cardstock in a 3" square and embossed it with the Forest Branches folder. I cut some dark blue cardstock 1/8" larger, layered them together and adhered it to the card base. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps, using blue iris ink by ColorBox. I stamped it on light purple cardstock, then matted it with the dark blue and light blue cardstock. On the inside I used the shimmery dark blue cardstock to create the pop-up layer. The dinosaur on the inside is also from Create a Critter. He is cut at 3." I embossed his green layer with the Tiny Mosaic folder and attached him to the pop-up layer.

I made this card for the following challenges:

• Peachy Keen Stamps: sketch
• Scrappy Moms Stamps: Create a Critter
• The Cuttlebug Spot: pop-up card
• Fantabulous Cricut: emboss it
• Cupcake Inspirations: cupcake photo (I used the colors for my inspiration)
