Welcome to all our Stampin’ friends from around the world to our October New at SU! blog hop where we are hoping you see how a SKETCH can get your creative juices flowing for card making. We’ll show you our version of the sketch…then YOU try it, too!
My card uses the Beary Cute bundle (stamp set + punch) and the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper. Can you see how the card layout above was inspired by our card “sketch” below?
Don’t feel constrained to use the sketch in just one way. I turned it into landscape orientation for a second version, this time with a brown bear rather than a polar bear:
This landscape variation uses the same stamp set and punch with the “Walk in the Forest” Designer Series Paper, which is our MAKING A DIFFERENCE product. It coordinates with both the Beary Christmas suite AND the Merriest Trees bundle! For each package purchased in the USA*, Stampin’ Up! donates $3 to Marines Toys for Tots (*different amounts and charities are supported in different markets around the globe).
Even a simple card can have an unexpected bit of bling to catch the eye… each of my Beary Cute cards has a little sparkle! On the polar bear card, there is an gold star atop the tree (behind the sentiment) and on the brown bear card, it comes in the form of some glitter sequins (which are FLAT, so shouldn’t require extra postage) – both embellishments are included in the supply list below the Blog Hop links.
TIP: For the TREE with the brown bear, I turned my stamp upside down on my block and stamped off the Shaded Spruce ink one time before stamping the whole image over the dark details, like one of our Reversible stamp sets.
