#TGIFC446: Polar Bear Christmas

Where do you find inspiration for card-making? I always find that a card sketch is a great place to start! If you're looking for some creative inspiration this week, make sure to check out the sketch challenge at TGIF Challenges. There's still time to play along!

 

I used the Beary Cute Bundle for my card. I used the sketch as my starting point, but turned the middle panel on its side.

 

This bundle is so much fun to play with. There are three adorable polar bears to stamp - and one of them even fits the coordinating punch! There are also a good number of smaller stamps in the set that you can use to create more of a scene: gifts, a tree, snowflakes, and a scarf and hat for the polar bears. Add in a few wintry sentiments, and this bundle is a must have!

 

Here is a full list of products used on my card:

Stamps: Beary Cute

Ink: Memento Black, Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight

Stampin' Blends Markers: Light Gray Granite, Dark Misty Moonlight

Paper: Balmy Blue, Basic White, Beary Cute Designer Series Paper, Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper

Embellishments: Rhinestones, Balmy Blue 3/8" Sparkle Ribbon

Tools: Stylish Shapes Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

 

Happy Stamping!

#TGIFC433: Thanks So Much

It's time for a sketch challenge at TGIF Challenges this week!

 

I paired two stamp sets and the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper for this one. What do you think?

 

The flowers are from the Just My Type stamp set, and are stamped directly onto the DSP. The sentiment is from the Kindest Expressions stamp set. I've decided these two work really well together!

 

Here is a full list of products used on this card:

Stamps: Just My Type, Kindest Expressions

Ink: Lemon Lime Twist, Blueberry Bushel

Paper: Lemon Lime Twist, Basic White, Bright & Beautiful DSP, Soft Shimmer Paper
