Just for you Bear with hearts (Stamp Fairy image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's my second card to show for the evening and it is using a cute little bear from the Stamp Fairy. Unfortunately I don't think they are around any longer but if anyone knows their store please let me know. 

I had a lot of trouble trying to find papers to match him so in the end I decided on a crisp fresh white background instead. This is my version of clean and simple hehe. He and the sentiment letters are all on foam tape to give a little extra depth to the scene. 

I have a Saturated Canary card up next, hope you'll check it out :)

Stamp Fairy bear card

Hi and welcome to or welcome back to my blog.

I love Stamp Fairy images and this one is no exception, there are so many fantastic artists' images to choose from isn't there, I have got quite a stash now so I hardly ever use the same image twice hehe! Digital images are so much easier to store than rubber so I must admit they're my favourite although I do have a stash of rubber stamps too lol. 

I have created a centre step card here and used my balloon punch for the first time. This is navy and not black but for some reason I can never get a photo to look navy!

Summer bear card

Happy Summer days to you all in the Northern Hemisphere, it's cold here in Melbourne Australia! Although I mustn't complain as we have had the best couple of weeks with some lovely warm days considering the time of year. I am enjoying making summer cards anyway, I'll just turn the heating up to help with inspiration lol.

Please remember to follow me on Bloglovin as I think the Google following is about to finish today. I have the Bloglovin' icon on the right hand side of my blog to quickly keep following me (of course, that's just if you want to keep following me lol).

This summer bear is from Stamp Fairy and I just love him to bits! He was so cute to colour and then I made some clouds behind him and voila! The gorgeous papers are from Echo Park and the lovely little beach huts are from Flourish with a Bling. I have had the life buoy brad for so long and never been able to use it until now. I used Fluffy Stuff for the ocean waves.

Congratulations bear card

Hi everyone, I am so happy to see you all dropping in to see my creations.

This is my last GDT card for C.R.A.F.T. Challenges and they want to see everyone "using a mask/making a mask". This was a really tricky challenge for me as I normally don't use masks on my cards so I am happy with how my hexagons/honeycomb background came out on this card. I used a glimmer mist and a chipboard honeycomb piece so it was fairly easy to do, hope you like it and try a masked background/embellie on your card. The gorgeous bear is from one of the sponsors this week, Stamp Fairy.
