Stamped Cards

Look for cheap dinosaur stamps on sale at your local craft store or the craft section in your department store (Michaels, Martha Stewart, k-mart etc) Stamping is a great way to embellish your cards.

Dinosaur shaped cards

A triceratops is a great shape to use for an invitation in the shape of a dinosaur. A volcano will give you a nice uniform shape as it is a simple triangle with the top cut off. Create your party details insert with a word processing program on your computer, print them out and slip glue into the inside of your card.

Dinosaur Clipart

You will be able to find a lot of free dinosaur clipart that you can use for personal use. Make a Word document with your wording and insert your clipart image. Print our at home or at a copy shop.

Purple Dino invitation tutorial

These dinosaur birthday invitations were made for my little boys party. I actually make quite a lot of invitations, particularly for children's birthday parties. I hope they inspire you to create your own hand made invitations for your next party.

Materials used to make invitations

Draw and cut the dinosaur

I drew the dinosaur design myself, it was loosely based on Max in the book 'Where the Wild Things Are', which my son was reading at the time.  The body and arm of the dinosaur are two separate pieces.

I used patterned green paper to make the dinosaur costume shape, then cut out an oval of pale peach card and glued it behind for the face. I just drew on the eye and the blush of the cheeks I made with colored pencil.

I stuck the dinosaur shape onto the card with foam tape to make it pop out. The word roar was typed and printed onto the peach card, cut out and adhered to the front of the card as well

Birthday party details

Inside was the information for the party like:  'U R Invited to....'; When; Where; RSVP. I printed these titles out in a 'monsterish' font then just hand wrote in the details.
