Fun Kids Birthday Card with Cute Dinosaurs Stamp Set from Scrappy Boy Stamps

Finding the perfect kids’ birthday card design can sometimes feel like a challenge. You want something colorful and fun, but also unique enough to stand out from a store-bought card. When I sat down to create this project, I remembered how my nephew used to be completely obsessed with dinosaurs—he could name every single one and would roar around the living room with his toy T-Rex. That memory made me smile, and I knew exactly what direction to take: a playful dino card that any child would love.

Fun Kids Birthday Card with Cute Dinosaurs Stamp Set from Scrappy Boy Stamps:

Bringing the Dino to Life

The star of this card is the little green dinosaur from the Cute Dinosaurs 4x8 Stamp Set by Scrappy Boy Stamps. I stamped him out and colored him with my Ohuhu Brush Markers. Using just a few shades of green, I was able to add shading to his belly and legs so he looks bright, happy, and full of personality.

Pro Tip: When coloring with alcohol markers, choose two to three shades in the same color family. Start with your mid-tone, add shadows with the darkest shade, and then blend everything back out with your lightest. It gives you depth without needing a huge collection of markers.

The matching Cute Dinosaurs Outline Dies make cutting the image quick and easy—no fussy cutting required, which is especially handy when you’re working on multiple birthday cards at once.

Building the Playful Background

For the background, I reached for the coordinating Cute Kids Cave Kids 6x6 Paper Pack. What I love about this paper is how perfectly it ties in with the dinosaur images. I layered a mix of patterns—some playful grids and a bold dino print—behind my focal image. Mixing patterns can feel intimidating at first, but the trick is balance. Pair one busy print with one simple print, and your design will look cohesive rather than overwhelming.

I placed the little dinosaur in the center of a clean white circle. This gives your eye a place to rest and keeps the focal point from getting lost in all the patterns.

Pro Tip: Circles and other simple geometric shapes are great ways to ground busy patterned paper. They create contrast and highlight the main image without competing for attention.

A Sentiment with a Roar

Of course, no birthday card is complete without a fun sentiment. I couldn’t resist using the one that says, “You Make Me RAWWWR.” It’s playful, a little silly, and perfect for a child’s card. To make it pop, I emphasized “RAWWWR” in green to match the dinosaur’s coloring.

Pro Tip: Coordinating your sentiment color with your focal image is a simple way to tie the whole design together. Even small touches like this make your card look polished and intentional.

Why This Card Works for Kids’ Birthdays

This design hits the sweet spot between fun and practical. The colors are bright and cheerful, the dinosaur theme is universally loved, and the layered papers give it a playful vibe. Plus, with the stamps, dies, and patterned paper all coordinating so well, you can create multiple variations quickly. Imagine making a whole set—each card with a different dinosaur and paper combo—for all the kids’ birthdays on your calendar this year.

Final Thoughts

Creating kids’ birthday cards doesn’t have to be complicated. By using themed stamp sets like the Cute Dinosaurs collection from Scrappy Boy Stamps, you can easily put together a fun, unique card design that little ones will absolutely adore. The best part? You’ll enjoy the process too—especially when you see the smile on a child’s face as they open their dinosaur card and let out their own big “RAWWWR!”
