Dino Love

Dino love

I made this card for a little boy we love very much as he turns one. The saying on the front of the card is from Dino Days and was perfect for a birthday greeting. I fussy cut the dinosaur from the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper. The papers allow you to make various versions of this card.

Dino fussy cut

For the dinosaur on the front, I fussy cut (cut closely around a print image) a dinosaur from the Dinoroar paper. The dinosaur I cut has space between the back of the dinosaur and spiny scales. I but them apart and attached them to the back of the dinosaur.

Attach the Dinoroar card front to the Mango Melody card mat. Attach these to the Old Olive card base.

Attach the stamped stitched white square to the Mango Melody square mat. Attach these to the card front. Attach the fussy cut dinosaur to the stitched white square.
