Baby's First Birthday!

Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for my great-niece's first birthday! She spent the week with her mom and dad at the beach - the pictures on Facebook are too cute! :)

Lots of things in her nursery are dinosaur themed - her dad even sculpted a dino in the snow this winter! I borrowed the stamp set from a friend and used lots of retired stuff from my stash to make this - no worries; there's still a lot left! 

I was inspired by a card made by Erica Cerwin, but I changed up a few things. I wanted to use the apatosaurus but it was too big for a standard card, so I chose the stegosaurus instead. I changed the base to a landscape orientation to fit the wider stamps. The window was cut with the retired Ovals Collection framelits and I used the retired extra-large oval punch and Timeless Type Sizzlits for the sentiment on the front.

The tricky part was trying to figure out where to add sentiments on the inside without having them show through the window. I added the cardstock on the inside front to cover the edges of the window, so that gave me a little extra room.

Last year I made a framed art piece and a card when she was born, and also a card for her baby shower which you can see HERE and HERE.

I hope J (and her mom and dad) will like this card!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
