Hi Everyone, the first of my DT makes today is for -
Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale,
Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter.
I know there are Christmas cards about now, but my GGNephew was 5 recently, and this is the card I sent him. I love the interactive cards for the children, and decided to make one with dinosaurs, well every little boy loves dinosaurs, don't they? I hope he does :)
I printed the background twice, then cut a narrow slit, wide enough for the sentiment. I then added card to the slider and a Pull instruction tab.
Next the dinosaur was taken into Silhouette and I print and cut a couple of layers, they were attached and added to the tab. You know I hate fussy cutting.
I die cut the number, coloured it to match and attached it to the top corner of the card, I then covered it with 3D Glaze. I computer generated and printed out his name and it was attached too. After that I decided it needed grass, so off to my Silhouette again and I cut 2 strips to add to the bottom of the image. After cutting I inked the edges.
I also included a colouring page I downloaded from BusyShark.net of a dinosaur and birthday cake. 
I can't find the card dinosaur or background in my files. I've had it for at least 14 years. I can only find it in another card I made. But can't find that on my blog either. Duh!

This is him using it, during a weekend break with his family.
His Mum always sends me a photo of them, with their cards, which is lovely of her.

What a fun dinosaur card for Owen! A wonderful cute photo of him! Looks like he loved the card!
Faith, your slider card is absolutely delightful! The interactive dinosaur theme is perfect for a 5-year-old, and it's clear from the photos that Owen loved it. The attention to detail, from the Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the grass strips, really makes this card special.
This is the perfect card for a little boy!! I know he will love it, and will probably play with it a lot if he is allowed to!
