You can find all products in the new Birthday Release HERE. I have two cards to share today, showcasing some of the new stamps and dies from this fabulous release.

This is the new Gifted Background stamp and coordinating Cutting Plate. I stamped and white heat-embossed the background stamp onto watercolor paper. I tapped a few different colors of Nuvo Shimmer Powders onto the paper, and sprayed it heavily with water. I let the paper air-dry, and was left with this beautiful rainbow of colors. (It reminds me of birthday confetti cake!)

I used the Gifted Cutting Plate to die-cut the presents, which I set aside for a future project. Next, I stamped the Gifted Background with Oreo ink onto Sugar Cube card stock. I attached the watercolor panel on top of stamped panel, then mounted it onto Oreo card stock. I used sticky tape to add the panel to a card base, then added white heat-embossed sentiments from the new Simple Strips- Birthday stamp set to finish the card.

This next card showcases the new Party Pennants Background stamp.

I stamped and white heat-embossed the Background onto TE watercolor paper. I added bold colors with Zig Clean Color Brush Markers and a heavy spray of water. Once the panel was dry, I trimmed and mounted it onto Oreo card stock, then attached it to a card base with sticky tape. I added a white heat-embossed Simple Strips- Birthday sentiment to finish the card.
