Here's one of my favorite cards that I made using the super cute and fun Cake Party Stamps, Cake Party Dies, Quilted Stitched Stepping Stone Die, and the previously released Instant Camera Die.
 

I started this card with the background. I wanted to have a rainbowish look so I cut strips of this fun paper and layered it on the background. Next, I started making my shaker by cutting the Instant Camera Die from gray card stock and adding a little texture with the Quilted Stitched Stepping Stone Die. I added my foam and filled my shaker with some fun coordinating elements before closing the back with a piece of light pink paper stamped with a sentiment from Cake Party Stamps. I positioned my shaker on the card front and got to work on my animals from Cake Party Stamps and cut with Cake Party Dies. When I got them all colored and added to the card, I finished it all off with a sentiment from Cake Party Stamps on a banner I hand cut and added an enamel heart for extra fun. Here's a closer look:

My second card for today sticks to the birthday theme and features the new Happy Birthday To You Word Die and Dual Dotted Circles released prior to today.

Again, this card started with the paper. I loved the hearts and I wanted to show off the Happy Birthday To You Word Die in a very simple design. So, I cut it from some gray card stock, and layered it on a Dual Dotted Circles cut from vellum so it wouldn't block too much of the background paper. I popped the Happy Birthday To You Word Die with some foam and added some highlights with a white gel pen. I ended up trimming it just a tad to get a small border of the gray card base. Here's a closer look:
