While I had the panda face die out for our grandson's birthday, I thought it would also make a cute birthday card for our nieces little fella who is turning one. I die cut the panda from a white cardstock square (it cuts the openings rather than the outline) and backed the openings with black cardstock.
I tried something different this time and was very happy with how it worked out! I nestled the die back into the openings and LIGHTLY brushed grey ink over the die and onto the paper. The die acted as a mask and when I lifted it off you could more easily see the round face of the panda.
I have had the patterned paper (which is double sided) for a year or two so I wanted to use it. The card base is 5 x 6.5", I cut the patterned paper to fit then matted it with black. One of the party hats was fussy cut and popped up with foam tape on the panda's head. A little Pops of Color on the panda's nose for some sparkle, a bakers twine bow and the card front was finished.
Here is a peek at the inside ... the red & white star paper is the print that is on the reverse of the party hat print. I used the leftover patterned paper for a couple more birthday cards using the March '25 Sheetload and will share those another day.
