Introducing The Dino Buddies Collection!

by Elizabeth Jones

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the second day of our Summer 2026 release introductions! We're having a wonderful time introducing our May release (available on Saturday, 5/16 at Noon EDT) and we have even more to share today. But first, I want to remind you that I will be going live on Instagram this evening at 8pm EDT to answer any questions you might have about today's introductions. Now let's get started!

We have a collection of four new dies to introduce today. This is the Dino Buddies Collection! This series includes a Brontosaurus, a Stegosaurus, a T-Rex, and a Triceratops. Any child of the 80s (or anyone who had children in the 80s) may recognize the lineup as favorites from a beloved movie.

First up we have the Dino Buddies: Brontosaurus (retails for $12). 

This long-necked thunder lizard is a perennial favorite of every dino fan. Use the Brontosaurus independently or pair with the rest of the Dino Buddies to create prehistoric projects that will be loved for years to come.

Next up is the Dino Buddies: Stegosaurus (retails for $12).

This delightful stegosaurus includes decorative back plates and optional spots that you can use to add color to your dinosaurs.

Then we have the Dino Buddies: T-Rex (retails for $14).

They don’t call the T-Rex the “King of the Dinosaurs” for nothing! This regal reptilian die includes a belly layer and spine detail that you can use to add color contrast to your dinosaurs.

And last, but certainly not least, we have the Dino Buddies: Triceratops (retails for $14).

The triceratops is prized by enthusiasts of all ages and this die includes horn details and a frill that you can use to add personality to your dinosaurs.

Ok! Now that I've made the basic introductions, let's check in with the team to see what these talented ladies have up their sleeves!

Aren't Audrey's dinos adorable?! I love the floral details she added! I loved dinosaurs as a kid and a set of flowery dino toys would have put me over the top! See more of her projects HERE.

Kelly added her Dino Buddies to totes and they simply couldn't be cuter! The bow and flowers are perfect. I love how the details really seem to bring out their personalities! See more of Kelly's project on her Instagram.

Mary used the Monogram Alphabet to personalize her Dino Buddies. What a fabulous way to spell out a new special someone's name! Check out all the details of her project HERE!

Thank you for being patient while I finished up the photos of my project today! When I designed these dies I couldn't get the idea of a mobile out of my mind. I couldn't wait to bring it to fruition!
I used the Hiking Trail Color Story for everything except the lava on the volcano (Geranium), the clouds (Tundra), and the horns (Sunlight). 
I cut one of each Dino Buddies character. The Triceratops is primarily Mango with a touch of Cactus and Sunlight. I used tiny satin stitches to attach her eyes. You could also glue them on or use beads.
The T-Rex is Cactus with Russet details. The ridge of bumps along his spine is optional. You can totally leave it off if you would prefer. I also used tiny French Knots to attach his eyes. The Brontosaurus is Agave with some yellow embellishments. I used the satin stitches for her eyes.
The Stegosaurus is Cobblestone with Agave and Russet accents. The dot detail is optional, so you can use it or not as you prefer.
I needed a central focal point, so I created this volcano using the cone from the Witch's Hat Die with the drippy popsicle layer from Sweet Treats: Popsicle. I also added clouds using the Ray Of Sunshine and Joyful Rainbow Dies. The leaves are from Falling Leaves II and the stars are from the Sweet Treats: Layer Cake Die. I strung everything on crochet thread and added Agave wool balls in both sizes to finish everything off. I absolutely love the way this turned out!
Thank you so much for joining me today! Remember: I will be going live on Instagram this evening at 8pm EDT to answer any questions you have about today's new products.
