Hi, with all my heart I have to said that I’m not the best at making fun cards but I’ll promise I’ll improve this. I tried hard to make this card buy mixing “No bones about it” and “Age awareness” stamp sets for Stampin’ Up! I wanted to add the number 80 as my father in law 80’s birthday is soon but the number didn’t fit anywhere in the design :(. I embossed, cut, and tried different colours, sizes, I even tried to add wiggle eyes to the dinosaur… etc. I know there is still some work to do on this card to make it funny but anyway I wanted to share the idea with you today and maybe you can help me with some tips to improve it? I’ll be thinking about how can I do this and I’ll post the re- make of this card in a near future. x Bibi
Here is the card in cucumber crushed colour, I didn’t stamp the balloon this time and I used one of the dotty stamps of “No bones about it” to stamp the dotty paper underneath the banner with the sentiment. I used Bermuda Bay, Cucumber crushed inks and gold embossing powder. I found the small stamp incredible nice to make backgrounds.

Dear Natalie. Apologies as I accidentally delete your comment when pressing the wrong bottom in my ipad. I tried to recover it. đ I'm a complete dinosaur.
I can't get over how much I love these! They turned out so adorable and funny! Great work!
I love the black, red, and white one – it's so cute! I have trouble making fun cards, too. You did a good job on this one! I have a suggestion for your father-in-law's age – you could cut a little balloon out of paper and stamp the number 80 on that. Thanks for sharing your ideas!
Hi Terri, thank you very much. Your iced es is pretty cool . I tried different things with the numbers but found them to big vs the dinosaur image. ( I only have larger than life alphabet and numbers) I'll need a smaller stamp set with numbers. đ
