Christmas In July Baby Bear

Well, my plans got derailed a bit with making Christmas cards in July, but have plans to start up again!  I just got too busy to go into the craft room and stamp, "gasp"!!

So lets get on with this.  I decide to use this cute stamp set called Baby Bear.  Once again I saw this idea on a demonstrator Facebook page, but no name was given with the picture.

I stamp the opposite of what the stamp set tells you, I stamp #3 first, then #2, then #1 last.  I did fussy cut the bear out, but it is not hard at all.

Here is what I used:

Stamp sets: Baby Bear and Christmas Pines (for the sentiment)

Card stock: Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Real Red, Always Artichoke and Pear Pizzazz

Inks: Crumb Cake for #1, Soft Suede for #2, Early Espresso for #3

Punch: Santa Hat-retired

Thinlits: Pretty Pines-green behind the bear

Dynamic Textured Impressions embossing folder: Cable Knit

Baker's Twine: Real Red-retired

Thank you for coming to see my creation!  Mary

Baby Bear Valentine Card

Well I'm on track to get my Valentine cards done this week, then onto some birthday cards for my two aunts and one uncle.

My daughter asked for a Valentine card for a friend of her's that she became pen pals with when she was still in grade school.  Her sweet pen pal is old enough to be her Grandmother!  Their special connection is there fascination with the Titanic!  They lost touch for about 15 years but have recently been writing to each other again!

This is the card that I made for her to send.

Here is what I stamped on the inside of her card.

I hope she likes her card.

Stamp sets: Baby Bear, Teeny Tiny Wishes, and Dragonfly Dreams

Card stock: Very Vanilla

DSP: Sending Love

Ink: Real Red

Red Glimmer Paper

Border punch for the small hearts-retired

Baby Bear

I don't know about you all, but I'm so happy that today is Friday!  I'm ready to rest and relax this week-end and get into the craft room to make some more cards.

This is the new stamp set called Baby Bear.  It is a two-step stamp set, but really you have three different images that you have to stamp to get the image.  For my bear I used Sahara Sand and Soft Suede for the bear and for the bow I used Pool Party.  Yup, this card is for a baby boy.

I mounted the bear piece on a piece of Marina Mist and pop it up with dimensional.  The sentiment is stamped with Memento Black ink.  The background images are from Made With Love using Pool Party ink on Pool Party card stock.  Pretty simple card but oh so cute!

Thank you for coming by.  Mary
