Bear Hugs for Gracie's 11th Birthday

My sweet granddaughter, Gracie, is celebrating her 11th birthday today, and this is the card I made from her Poppi and me.   I had so much fun playing with the Bear Hugs stamp set and coordinating framelits, it was almost like I was a kid again.  

Gracie's card is a 5 x 7, and I'm certain you could make this card into an A-2 size just by scaling it down a little.

To make this card:

• The base is Very Vanilla.
• For the next layer I used Chocolate Chip ink and the Hardwood stamp on Crumb Cake card stock.
• I used my Fringe Scissors on Garden Green card stock for the grass.
• The bears were stamped in Chocolate Chip classic ink on Very Vanilla card stock, and the bear's skirt and hat was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink on Very Vanilla card stock.  
• The Happy Birthday was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink, and the flowers were colored with markers.
• Remember to decorate your envelope, can't leave the house naked, right?

If you have any questions, let me know.

Rose Wonder, Picture Perfect and Timeless Textures

Here is another way to use the new stamp set from Stampin' Up!, Rose Wonder, and the Rose Garden Thinlit dies.  I saw this card on YouTube, post of 12/31/2015, by Ayana Johnson, and I found it to be quick and easy.

To make this card:

• The large rose and leaves were stamped on a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Whisper White card stock (cs) with Watermelon Wonder classic ink.  Then an image from Timeless Textures was stamped with So Saffron classic ink on the Whisper White cs.
• With Tombow adhesive I glued the Whisper White piece to a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Pool Party cs.
• I wrapped a piece of Watermelon Wonder 1" Satin Ribbon around the White/Pool Party piece.
• I glued the Pool Party/White combo piece to an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Watermelon Wonder cs scored at 4 1/4.
• I colored the rose with a 2-Way glue pen, and covered the glue with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.
• I colored the leaves with a Pool Party marker.
• I stamped the frame from the Rose Wonder stamp set and the words from Picture Perfect with Watermelon Wonder classic ink onto Pool Party cs. I cut it out with the Rose Garden Thinlits dies.
• I put the frame on the card with dimensionals.
• Remember to decorate your envelope, can't leave the house naked, right?
