Hello everyone! I’m popping in today to share a couple of cards featuring some of the new dies release by Spellbinders, the Stampendous Bear Hugs Collection. There are actually a bear, dog and cat to choose from and they are all fluffy cute and fun to play with!
I have the sweet bear and made a couple of cards to share with you today using him and the add on die sets too.
I cut my first bear and all his pieces from white cardstock so that I could ink blend and color with copic markers. It gives a whole different look than cutting from colored cardstock. Both are great, it just depends if you have the color cardstock you want or if you want to add more texture here and there.
After cutting and coloring my pieces, I used liquid glue to assemble the bear and his banner. Then I cut the deckled rectangles from orange cardstock and ink blended the bottom for a gradient depth. I cut a piece of teal cardstock and ink blended the edges of that before splattering it with teal ink as well.
I glued the panel to a card base and added the orange rectangles with liquid glue. Then I popped up my bear and the hearts with foam squares.
For my second card, I cut all the pieces from colored cardstock and used liquid glue to assemble everything. I found reverse tweezers to be my friend when assembling the envelope because it wanted to pop open.
For this background, I cut a piece of white cardstock to 4×5.25 inches and ink blended mustard seed distress oxide fading out toward the right. I splattered the panel with black paint and added the package with liquid glue and the bear with foam squares. After that I added the panel to a white card base with foam tape for added dimension.
Aren’t these just so sweet!?! They’re so cute and happy. Can’t help but smile.
