Hi, everyone! Raise your hand if you like to send out handmade birthday cards to your favorite people! Teri here to show you a fun Sending Panda Birthday Hugs Card to make with basic stamping supplies and 3D Foam Shapes from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
Stamp a Birthday Scene
Start by cutting a panel of white cardstock and stamping a few birthday images in the corner and a birthday sentiment. If you are using a clear stamp, consider bending the stamp as you put it on the block to curve it over the stamped images. Color the images in with markers.
Build a Background with 3D Foam Shapes
Take a corner rounder and round two corners. Randomly place a combination of the smaller sizes of the 3D Foam Stars and 3D Foam Circles onto the panel. Remove the liner and cover them with flock. Press into the adhesive to secure and tap off excess. Designer’s Tip: Like a little bit of glitz? Then use Metallic Transfer Foil instead.
Fill in more of your design by adding some sequins or small clay pieces to it. Use Adhesive Dots Small to secure each one to your panel. Next, add two Creative Photo Corners in Black on two opposite corners. Designer’s Tip: I find it helpful to apply a bit of E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots on the back of the corners before adding the photo corners.
Add Some Finishing Touches
This panel might be a little bulky. Rather than using strips of Crafty Foam Tape to anchor it to a card, use a 3D Foam Creative Sheet instead. Simply cut the sheet down to fit your panel.
Finish your card by adding some dots or stitch marks around the panel with a marker. Add a cute twine bow to your critter with an Adhesive Dot to secure it in place.
