A Dinorawr Welcome

I have a new grand-nephew!  Wow, that makes me sound really old!  My niece recently gave birth to her son, and I commemorated the occasion with this (and a gift 😄):


My grandson is a total dinosaur freak, so I thought I may as well start my new nephew off on the right foot.  

This card didn't come out ANYTHING like I had planned, but I was really happy with the results.  What started with the panel with the name cut-out blossomed into a 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" card!  Does that ever happen to you?


So this is where it all started.  Then I needed to build around his name.  I absolutely adore the Hand Lettered Prose alphabet dies!  They are so easy to create ANY word with!

My Balmy Blue panel was cut with the letters, embossed with the Subtle embossing folder, and mounted with Dimensionals over a piece of Night of Navy.


Then came the dinosaurs--each stamped with a different blue (Night of Navy, Pool Party and Seaside Spray) and cut with the coordinating Dino dies.  So cute!


My card "grew" when I realized I couldn't fit everything on a standard card base.  So I just added some Granny Apple Green (embossed with the Layered Leaves embossing folder) and more Night of Navy, which then gave me room for the palm tree (also part of the Dino Days suite).  I just had to add some grass (Lakeside dies) to finish off the card.


I'm sure little Max will be a Dino lover before long...

Check out Hand Lettered Prose - being able to create any word you want makes this SUCH a versatile set of dies!  I know you'll love them as much as I do!
