Club Projects: Beary Best Friends

This is what we will be making at my Card Club tomorrow night. I have wanted to use this set for a while with the matching Pawsitively Prints Designer Paper. I decided to teach my fabulous group of ladies how to make a Pocket Card. I thought this would be really cute for a birthday invitation or as a little birthday card. The tag with the image of the bear slides into the card with the ribbon. I love making these cards as an alternative to a traditional card!

I used both the Beary Nice Wishes Set (118050) and the Beary Nice Friends Set (118052). I also used the Buttons #5 Sizzix Die (113440) with my Big Shot. I coloured the bear images using my Stampin' Write Markers in Close to Cocoa/Creamy Caramel, Ballet Blue/Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink, Celery and Pumpkin. I am currently creating for my first design team project which I will link up to my blog on Friday! I hope you get the chance to stop by and to check out what the Design Team creates! It is a terrifc challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!

Stampin' 411 Sketch Challenge

I did the Masking Technique on this card. The sets I used were both FREE from the Sale-A-Bration mini...the houses, trees and clouds are from the set called "Good Neighbours" and the sentiment is from the set called "Bella's Blooms".

All week I have been waiting for my order to come because I wanted to make this card for the Stampin' 411 Sketch. In this picture below you can see the Masking Technique I used to make the houses stand infront of the trees. The images are stamped right on top of eachother.I also used the new Scallop Trim Border Punch (also FREE in the Sale-A-Bration) to create a little blue fence at the bottom of the main image panel...it looks like a pretty upscale neighbourhood...don't you think? LOL!

I was so excited that the Bella Bloom set was in the free picks from the Sale-A-Bration mini. I love this sweet little stamp set and have wanted to buy it forever!!! I can't wait to use this sentiment on little Christmas gifts and cards...The designer paper is called "Pawsitively Prints" and is supposed to coordinate with the Beary Best Friends set...I also used the Pumpkin Pie 1 1/4" grosgrain ribbon on this card. I love how this ribbon ties so nicely into a bow. I am also in love with the colours Pumpkin Pie and Ballet Blue. Wow! I never knew how pretty Ballet Blue was until I ordered this Designer Paper.

Well that is it for tonight. Have a big day tomorrow. Thank you for stopping by!!
