Create Charming Birthday Cards with Postage Dies

I have a lot of smaller images that seldom get used. With the “Postage” die and stencil sets by several companies, you can use those smaller images to create a cute card for any occasion. I have previously used the postage die sets to create Thank You cards. Today’s card uses them to create a birthday card.

I stamped each image and then colored them using my Copic markers. Once I had them colored, I cut them out using the coordinating dies. I also cut out two additional images from white cardstock to add to the back and give the images some depth. I then arranged them on my panel so I could decide what colors to use behind the images.

I used the matching stencil to add color to each section of the postage panel. Once I added the color to the panel, I adhered the images in the respective sections.

The sentiment is from the same stamp and die set as the smaller images. I stamped the sentiment in blue ink and then again Versa Mark Watermark ink. I added clear embossing powder over the sentiment and heat set the embossing powder.

I added glossy accents to the “drinks” to give those images some depth.

The “postage” die and stencil set is very versatile. I like how you can just change the images and background colors to fit any occasion. I look forward to using this again for different occasions.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
