closer to extinction – StampedByKelly

I’m closing out Dinosaur Week with one last dino-mite project—and this little guy from the Close To Extinction Stamp Set decided he was ready for Halloween! 🎃🦖

For this card, I did what I’m calling a little Flash Card Surgery! ✂️ I cut into two Halloween Flash Cards, using the skeleton/spiderweb design to create my circle shaker and borrowing the witch hat and “Make Your Own Magic” sentiment from another card.

I love finding ways to stretch products beyond their original design. A little cutting, mixing and matching turned these Flash Cards into something completely different—and gave my dinosaur the perfect spooky-season makeover!

🛍️ What I Used

Close To Extinction Stamp Set

🦖 Has This Dino Already Gone Extinct?

Today I’m thrilled to share Pajama Crafter Stamps’ newest release: Hog Your Shine! I paired this new set with two favorites — Stadium Food and Date Night — to make a fun, snack-loving card with the giggle-worthy sentiment, “I’m just here for the snacks!” Food (and friends) really are the best part of any get-together, and these stamps capture that playful vibe perfectly.

Products I used (all from Pajama Crafter Stamps)

Hog Your Shine stamp set — new release
Stadium Food stamp set
Date Night stamp set
Marshmallow Cardstock — my go-to for alcohol-marker coloring; crisp, bright, smooth finish
Pig Press — used on top of my stamp positioner for a solid impressions every time
Barely Arts glue — available as Starter Kit (with detailed tip) and Refill — my adhesive for layering when a wet glue is desired

Color and technique
I colored on Pajama Crafter Stamps’ Marshmallow Cardstock with alcohol markers for bold, smooth blends and bright, crisp results. The Hog Your Shine images are perfect for layered color and playful shading, and Stadium Food adds that snack-time charm. I used the Pig Press with my stamp positioner to get clean, even impressions every time.
