Dinosaur Birthday Box Card

Hey friends~  I have a fun box card today, that I made for one of my great little nieces, who currently loves dinosaurs.

I was inspired by my creative friend Lena of Lena's Creations card that you can find HERE.  I set out to recreate a card that was very similar to hers, but as you can see, it turned out completely different.  

To start with, I didn't have the same T-Rex dinosaur that Lena had, but I had this dinosaur die from Marianne Designs.  Lena's background was a combination of Silhouette cut files, which I could have purchased, but as I was contemplating the project, I decided to make my own box card using the dies I already had on hand.

There's space on the back of the card, where I'll write our birthday wish for my sweet little 5 year old great niece.

The mushrooms are from Sizzix designed by Tim Holtz.  To my shame, I've had these for well over a year and have never used them.  I was delighted to discover that the elongated Happy Birthday die cut from Spellbinders fit perfectly onto the front of the card.  

I just love how we can be inspired by each other and once creativity takes a hold, our projects are the same but different.  I do hope you'll pop over to Lena's blog and have a look at her amazing project.

Thanks for stopping by!
