Joy Clair Stamps has an awesome January release for you all! There are FOUR new stamp sets being added to the shop, each one cuter than the next! Today I am using the brand new Dino Love stamp set. It is the perfect set for your Valentine’s Day cards! I created this fun and simple Valentine’s Card with the cute “Rawr means I love you in dinosaur” sentiment!!

From the photo you can see I used this set for a full A2 sized card, but these stamps are the perfect size for school Valentine’s as well! Attach a dinosaur toy/pencil/eraser (Oriental Trading has a ton of choices at great prices!) and you’re good to go!!

My card is a very clean and simple design but to add a few bits of interest I added a red frame made by inlaying a smaller rectangle die into a larger one. I also added several of the small hearts included in the stamp set to fill in some of the white space. For the coloring I added small dots in different shades of browns and greens and also white gel pen to add texture to each dinosaur. And the sentiment I spiced up a bit by doing a multi color stamping technique!

Enough about my card and onto the prizes!!! For the blog hop, all you need to do is leave a comment at each stop along the way, and you will be eligible to win one of two $25 Gift Cards to the Joy Clair Shop!!!
