Baby Bear - International Blog Highlight June 2017 - Baby Card

I was commissioned to make a card for one of work colleagues who recently had a beautiful baby boy and I cased my previous Baby Bear Card a little simpler with less Bling.

The color combination I have used is Soft Sky, Dapper Denim and Whisper White. I stamped the Baby Bear layers starting in opposite order so you can line up the arm holes for perfect alignment I used the detailed one first In Dapper Denim ink, the middle layer is stamped off Dapper Denim and the bottom layer in Soft Sky on Whisper White card stock which is layered on a piece of Dapper Denim. I embossed a piece of Soft Sky card stock using the Sparkle embossing folder in the Big Shot on a Thick Whispser White card base. The sentiment also from the Baby Bear stamp set stamped in Dapper Denim on Soft Sky layered on a piece of Dapper Denim both with punched edges using the Triple Banner Punch.

Baby Bear Bling Card

I was honoured too be asked by a work college to make a baby shower card for her sister, my brief was very pink and lots of bling. I am happy to say she was delighted with this card. I have used the Baby bear stamp set along wth Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride and Melon Mambo inks. I also stamped the bow from the same set and colours. I covered the bow in Fine Tip Glue and sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds into it for shine and sparkle. I layered the Baby bear image onto Melon Mambo card stock and Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Paper. I embossed the Pink Pirouette layer using the Sparkle Embossing Folder in the Big Shot, I added another strip of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper across the embossing and wrapped some Melon Mambo Bakers Twine which is retiring at the end of the month, wrapping it an Thick Whisper White card base.

Brushwork Alphabet and Baby Bear with Playful Palette Card

I was reminded that today its a super cute one year olds birthday so I just had to whip her up a cute card and I also had to personalise it just for her with the Brushwork Alphabet.

I stared by choosing my colour scheme and paper from the Playful Palette 6x6 Paper Stack. Next I stamped the Baby Bear teddy in Peekaboo Peach, Basic Grey Archival and Basic Black Archival inks on Very Vanilla card stock and matted it on Basic Black card stock. Next I cut a strip of the patterned paper and matted it into a piece of Sweet Sugarplum card stock to the length of the card. I used this piece to work out where to stamp the name and stamped it using the brushwork Alphabet in Sweet Sugarplum ink onto a Blushing Bride card base. I wrapped and tied a bow using the Peekaboo Peach Ruched Ribbon the patterned paper piece and attached it under the stamped name with Fast Fuse adhesive and then paced the Baby Bear piece over it with Stampin' Dimensionals. I cut a number one out from the Large Number Framelits with Silver Glimmer Paper and attached it using Foam Adhesive Strips beside the bear. As a finishing touch added a few 2016-2018 In Colour Enamel Shapes to the card and bear.

Baby Bear, Gorgeous Grunge with Playful Palette Paper Card

I really just adore this Baby Bear Stamp. It was a stamp set I would not normally purchase but I won it as part of our OnStage demonstrator event in April and I am so glad I did and he is just too adorable. I love how realistic he is.

I started by stamping the bear from the Baby Bear stamp set onto Whisper White card stock. After much experimenting I have found it best to stamp the bear images in the order 2, 1, 3. This helped me to line up the arm holes as I stamped the layers which resulted in almost perfectly stamped bear (we can't all per perfect. Its a handmade card!). The colours I have used for the bear are stamped of Smoky Slate ink for layer 1, Smokey Slate ink Layer 2 and Archival Basic Grey ink for Layer 3. I matted this stamped piece onto a piece of Peekaboo Peach. Next I stamped a Thick Whisper White card base with the smallest splatters stamp for the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set in Peekaboo Peach, Emerald Envy and Sweet Sugarplum inks. I added a strip of splattered patterned paper from the Playful Palette Paper Stack. At this point i wanted to add a sentiment and did so from Baby Bear stamp set in Peekaboo Peach and Sweet Sugarplum Ink. If I was too make the card again I would not use the Peekaboo Peach ink as it didn't show up as well. As a finishing touch I tied some Sweet Sugarplum Ruched Ribbon around the card and attached the bear stamped piece with Stampin' Dimensionals.
