I used some of our polka paper as a belly-band on a gift box - I love the pop of color I got from that yellow print! The tag was so much fun to make. I actually showed my son all of the critter stamps and asked him to choose which one should become party-ready. He went straight for the dino. I kept the colors pretty primary (save the light mint on the banner and cupcake) and masked off every element except the party hat. It was the perfect add-on after the project was already completed. I stamped the greeting inside the dinosaur's body for a different look. You see that on a lot of print-work.
Did you notice that the dinosaur's tail is cut out as part of the tag? I channeled my inner JJ Bolton and shifted the tag around in my die-cutter so that I cut everything except where the tail sits. I used a dinosaur die-cut to trace and then fussy-cut the area around the tail. I think JJ would have die-cut that spot, but I was too chicken that I'd mess it all up at the very end.
