Here are a couple of birthday cards I made using Stampin" Ups' Party Pandas.



On this first card the pandas were stamped directly on the card and embellished with another cute little stamp that comes with the set.  I actually cut out the balloon with the Balloon Bouquet punch and popped them up on both of these cards for some added dimension.  The sentiment here is from the Balloon Adventures stamp set.


This second cards was matted on card stock that came with the January Paper Pumpkin Heartfelt Love Notes kit.   This panda was stamped on white paper and then fussy cut and added to the front with a sentiment from Eclectic Expressions.








There was a bit of a learning curve with this set to get a nice solid black panda.  I found it necessary to use a stamp positioning tool so that I could stamp it several times.  Try different papers and different types of black ink to see what works best for you.  And if you fussy cut the pandas, I suggest using the Basic Black marker to fill in edges of the cut-outs to eliminate any white that will be visible when you attach the panda to the card.
