Hey everyone, I have another cute birthday card that was shared on the Dies R Us Blog today and I wanted to share it with you too. I love stamping as much as I love dies and today I've combined the two.
The following dies were used to create this card:
Die-Versions - Pretty Packages (although this is no longer available, any of these would work)
To start out, I die cut the Bamboo Frame from watercolor paper. You will be stamping on the negative piece in the center, so be sure to save that part too.
Nest, using a stamp positioner and Archival ink (Vintage Photo), I stamped my image by Newton's Nook (Newton's Birthday) onto the negative piece of watercolor paper.
The image and the bamboo frame were colored using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Watercolors. The image will be inset back into the frame.
My card base is a piece of kraft cardstock. I wanted the front to have texture so I dry embossed it using an embossing folder by Spellbinders (Cane Weave). This dimensional embossing folder gave it lots of texture.
For the inside of the card, I die cut several of the presents and quickly colored them using glitter markers. You can also see the texture on the inside back of the card front too.
Here's one final look at today's birthday card.
Hope you've enjoyed today's project. Head back to the Dies R Us Blog on Monday for more fabulous inspiration from the DRU Inspiration design team.

This is so cute! Love your kitten trio, with their little friend! Beautifully colored, Anne. That frame along with the embossed Kraft - great ideas!
This is just adorable, like the sentiment with the sweet cats and the vine is a great touch!
