Stampin' Up! Rhino Ready & Radiating Stitched Dies

Here’s my card. These Ready Rhinos bundle are just too cute ~ I just HAD to make another card with them. And this is my first play with the Radiating Stitched Dies and I’m really liking them too. Both of these are part of the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES found on the online store. You may find that link here. But let’s get back to the card… The card base is Mossy Meadow cut as an A2 tent fold. The largest of the Radiating Stitched Dies was used to die cut Happy Forest Friends DSP and was adhered to the card base with Stampin’ Seal. The next to largest of the Radiating Stitched Dies was used to die cut the Sahara Sand layer and that was added to the card front with dimensionals. The rhino was stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap, then colored with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. Be sure to leave a little white areas for depth :O) The rhino was die cut with the Rhino Ready Dies. To die cut the leaves, I looked for a green DSP that had some variation to it and found it in the Hues of Happiness DSP pack – so… die cut 4 palm leaves, two small & two larger using the Rhino Ready Dies. I also stamped the sentiment in Memento ink on another Basic White scrap (sentiment is from Rhino Ready stamp set) and die cut that with a banner die from the Gingko Branch Dies.

I put dimensionals on the ends of the sentiment banner & Stampin’ Seal in between and placed it on the card. I added the rhino with dimensionals only on his right side, then slipped the palm leaves under the rhino, adding with liquid glue. My final touch for the card front was placing the three Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls for a bit of glam.

I have to say, I really like the inside of this card. Maybe it’s the texture per the Radiating Stitched Dies. Here’s what I did… I used the largest of the Radiating Stitched Dies to die cut a panel of Old Olive card stock, then die cut with the next smaller Radiating Stitched Die a panel of Basic White. I adhered the remaining palm leaf die cut earlier from the Rhino Ready Dies, with liquid glue. I then stamped the birthday sentiment using the Rhino Ready stamp with Memento ink. Both the Old Olive panel and the Basic White piece were adhered with Stampin’ Seal and the card was complete.

For the envelope I simply added a panel of the Happy Forest Friends DSP to the flap and called it enough. Love the Rhino Ready Bundle and the Radiating Stitched Dies – both from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. All other items to make this card are in a catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Rhino Ready Floating Panel Fun Fold

Good Sunday morning. The ONLINE EXCLUSIVES have been a big hit and with the March 1 offerings was this fun bundle – the Rhino Ready stamp set and Rhino Ready Dies. The rhinos are so cute and a bit sassy and I couldn’t resist. Pinterest is a wonderful resource for ideas & instructions and I found this Floating Fun Fold by LeeAnn Greff that this new set was perfect for making this card.

Stampin' Up! Rhino Ready Dies

This is so incredibly easy ~ so here ya go…

  • The card base is Basic White and is 8 1/2 x 5 12, scored at 2 1/8 & 4 1/4
  • The two front panels are from the Subtles 6×6 DSP and are cut 2 x 5 1/4. Quick tip: I make sure when there is a pattern that the panels match side by side. These are Calypso Coral… adhere to the two front panels on the card base.
  • Using the Deckled Rectangle Dies, cut a Basic White panel to stamp, color & decorate for the floating panel
    • Stamp the Rhino with Memento ink and color with Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends
    • Die cut the birthday hat from a scrap of Subtles 6×6 DSP – this time in Pear Pizzazz. Add hat to the rhino with a dimensional. Add a Balmy Blue sequin from the Pastel Adhesive-backed Sequin pack.
    • Stamp the sentiment from the Rhino Ready stamp set in Memento ink on a Basic White strip, then die cut with the banner die from Something Fancy Dies. Adhere to the stamped panel with dimensionals. Add three Classic Matte Dots in Gray.
    • Stamp the bird from Rhino Ready stamp set in Memento ink, color with Dark Daffodil Delight Blends and die cut with the appropriate die from Rhino Ready Dies. Add with a mini dimensional cut in half added to the top of the bird and a dab of glue to the feet
  • Die cut another piece slightly larger than the rhino panel using the Deckled Rectangle dies and Gray Granite card stock. Adhere this to the back of the stamped rhino.
  • Now to create the ‘floating’ pieces 😀
    • Cut two pieces of card stock 3/4 x 1 3/4; fold in half. Estimating the half point on the front panels of the card base, add adhesive to one side of the folded strip and attach at the fold. Do the same with the other strip making sure the folds butt against one another.
    • Add adhesive to the loose end of the strip and set the rhino stamped panel on it. Do the other side. The attached strips should look like the photo below.

Decorate the inside…

  • On a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel, stamp the grass in Pear Pizzazz ink. The grass comes from the Rhino Ready stamp set.
  • Stamp the birthday sentiment from Rhino Ready stamp set in Memento ink
  • On a separate piece of Basic White, stamp the rhino with the bird on it’s back and stamp another individual bird.
    • Color the rhino with Gray Granite Blends and the birds with Dark Daffodil Delight. Die cut each with the coordinating dies in the Rhino Ready Dies.
    • Die cut three of the grasses from Pear Pizzazz and layer on top of one another, using liquid glue to secure. Add to the card as shown. This will be the ‘stopper’ to allow the card to remain folded when it stands for display.
    • Adhere the rhino in place with loiquid glue and the bird as well.
  • Adhere stamped piece to 4 1/8 x 5 38 piece of Gray Granite card stock and add to inside of card.

Now for the envelope…

  • Stamp the grass along the bottom of the envelope with Pear Pizzazz ink, leaving an opening for the bird peeking through.
  • Stamp the bird in Memento ink and color with Dark Daffodil Delight Blend
  • Add Subtles 6×6 DSP in Calypso Coral to the flap, 2 1/4 x 6 & trim to fit. My piece of DSP was only about 2″ so I added a Gray Granite strip first, then the DSP
