Hi everyone, thanks for joining me today, it’s been a while! I thought I’d share with you a card I made recently for my daughter’s friend’s birthday. He loves dinosaurs, so I had to get them in somewhere! To make this card, I die cut and assembled a slider mechanism using the Heffy Doodle double…

Do any of you guys follow Mona Toth on Instagram?
