No Naked Bear Ladies!

-

 Did you see what I did there with that title? I don't listen to the Barenaked Ladies except during the opening and closing of The Big Bang episodes, but I know they're a band. BTW, if you have never seen that TV show (Big Bang is in reruns only now), you've GOT to!


Anyway, I wanted to show you an easy way to alter images, such as the naked bear in Count on Me. Isn't her jumper just the cutest?!



Measurements for Consumable Supplies (full list of supplies at the bottom)
  • Pool Party card (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/4")
  • Early Espresso layer (3-5/8" x 4-7/8")
  • Basic White layers (3-1/2" x 4-3/4", 3-3/4" x 5")
  • Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon (8-9")
Directions
  1. Stamp bear to the left of center on the smaller Basic White layer.
  2. Use mirroring technique (https://stamperhood.blogspot.com/2022/04/easy-mirror-technique.html) to stamp the mirror image of the bear to the right of center. Bear bodies should be very close or even touching. Note: I also go over the mirroring technique again in the video below.
  3. Using the Basic Black Stampin' Write marker, draw in the outline of the jumper and add any patterns (like flowers, stripes, etc.).
  4. Color bears and bear outfit as desired using Stampin' Blends markers.
  5. Add some shadow/ground underneath the bears using Crumb Cake and the Color Lifter.
  6. Adhere Basic White layer to Early Espresso layer and then to Pool Party card base.
  7. Add a bow made from Pale Papaya ribbon and add to the top left of the card with a mini glue dot.
  8. Stamp a single bear image on the inside of the card and color the heart using Stampin' Blends. You can also color the entire bear, if so desired.

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

Who Wants Some Apple Cider?

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

Changing Leaves...not quite yet!

Image
 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer. Lay the four lengths of Linen Thread next to each other to cover the area where the DSP meets the Basic White in the middle of the card. Adhere on back side with tape or desired...
