As a huge fan of panda bears, I couldn’t wait to get started. I began by stamping the sweet baby panda and the stack of gifts using black hybrid ink. After that, I brought them to life with my Copic Markers and white gel pens. Using the coordinating dies (included in the set—yay!), I cut out the images so I could pop them up with foam tape for a little extra dimension.
For the background, I wanted to create a cozy little room scene; something that feels like a warm home. I designed plaid-patterned walls and a wooden floor, imagining the baby panda sitting comfortably indoors, patiently waiting to open all those presents!
Once my cozy background was ready, I layered the panda and gifts onto the card using foam tape to give them that fun, popped-up look. For the base, I used silver glitter paper cut with the 5063–Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies to add a little sparkle. To bring it all together, I layered white and metallic purple cardstock, plus a panel of purple polka-dot Ai pattern paper that matched perfectly with the panda’s accessories.
To finish off the design, I added one of the sweet sentiments from the set—"We can Bear-ly wait to meet you" stamped in black on crisp white cardstock. I matted the sentiment with metallic purple paper for a polished look that ties everything together.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you will join in the challenge!
