Hello Sunny friends. It’s
Bobbi sharing a Panda Party in the forest! Panda bears are known to live in the
mountainous, bamboo forests of China and feast on bamboo. Did you know that in
a single day, a panda can eat between 20 to 30 pounds of bamboo? After learning
this, I decided to surround these cute bears in their favorite habitat, a rocky
environment surrounded by bamboo. I'm using the new Panda Party stamp set and coordinating dies by Sunny Studio Stamps.
To create this A2-sized card,
I used Neenah 80lb cardstock for the card base and card front panel. I blended
on green ink using Ranger Distress Oxide Inks in Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint and
Rustic Wilderness. I used blender brushes to apply green all around the outer
edge of the card front panel. Next, I free-handed some simple bamboo
trees/plants to the background using Copic Markers in YG99, YG95, YG93, (for
the trunks) E44 (branches) and YG67 (leaves).
To
create a foreground area for my pandas, I added a grassy border at the bottom
of the front panel. This also allowed me to tuck in some rocky surfaces behind
the grassy area. I hand cut both the rocks (from two colors of gray) and the
tall grasses.
Every party needs some
pandas so I added in a number of the bears from
the set to the scene. Colorful party hats and pennant banners decorate
the party scene in vivid blues, yellows, and oranges. I used YR09, YR68, B05,
B04, B02, Y15, Y08, C3 and C1 Copic colors. I had an open space in the middle
of the scene and thought the one standing bear should have a balloon in hand so
I punched out a 3/4″ circle from red cardstock and added shadowing, highlights
and a string using my white Gelly Roll pen, black marker and Copic R29 marker.
This
set has some really unique and fun panda-themed sentiments so I stamped a few
inside. I also had an extra panda and banner so I added both above the phrases
to keep the fun going inside, too!

Hey
friends! Cathy here today sharing a cute and fun birthday card featuring the
new Panda Party Stamps!
To
start this card, I cut a piece of white cardstock 3 1/2" x 4 1/4" and
created a confetti effect by splattering a little watered down Distress inks
with a paintbrush. I used Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers, Fossilized Amber
and Twisted Citron. I heat embossed the sentiment in the upper right corner and
adhered this piece to the top of an A2 card base.
Next,
I cut a piece of patterned paper from the Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones
Paper 2” x 4 1/4" and adhered it to the bottom of the card
front. I then cut 1” x 4 1/4" strips from 3 more of the papers and die-cut
the bottom edge of each using one of the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. I overlapped and adhered
these pieces below the white cardstock. I used the Ribbon & Lace Border
Dies again to die-cut a piece of black cardstock, cut it to 4 1/4" long
and adhered it across the bottom of the white cardstock.
For
the present, I cut a rectangle 1” x 1 1/4" from white cardstock and
die-cut a bow using the Sweet Treat House Add-on Dies. I used the windowpane
portion of the Wonderful Windows Dies for the ribbon,
adhered the die-cut piece to the rectangle and trimmed off the excess along the
edges. I colored these elements with Copics.
To
finish, I stamped the images on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white
cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating
dies. I used the following stamps and dies:
Panda Party Stamps and Dies
Bear Hugs Stamps and Dies (balloons)
I
hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please
