Baby Cards Using the Build A Panda Etched Dies from Spellbinders

How cute are these little Pandas!?!

For today's inspiration, I wanted to create some baby cards. I have a few pregnant friends at the moment who don't want to know their baby's gender.... wait, what? That's unheard of these days, right?! So just to be prepared I thought I would make one for a boy and one for a girl... but watch it will probably be two boys, or two girls, lol!

These cute little Panda Etched Dies are interchangeable. You can make the Panda stand up like this one below or sit down as shown on the next card.

I kept these cards pretty clean and simple. 

I wanted the focus to be on the bears, but I wanted to incorporate the baby theme so I paired these dies with the Oh Baby and the Darling Baby Sets from Simon Says Stamp. They worked together so beautifully!

For this card, I used a few of the distress oxide pink shades to stamp out the little feet in the background.

I also used the distress oxide inks for blending the background behind the baby Pandas. Because these inks take a while to dry I heat set the stamped images with a clear embossing powder.

I used both the Pierced Rectangle and pierced Circle Dies on these cards. I like how these frame dies give you the option of adding the piercing effect on your projects. To add life to these pandas, I gave them some rosy cheeks and used fine tip marker to add a black line to the etched out area of their lips. I also added a pupil to the center of their eyes an finished both their eyes and noses with some glossy accents.

I hope you got some inspiration from my Baby Panda Cards today.
A special Thank You to Spellbinders for sending me these cute dies to create with.
