I went out of the box this month with a supersize card! I rarely do large cards, but this adorable bear needed to be used! I made a 5x7 card base out of Kraft cardstock. I then cut two layers of paper. The first one is cut to 4 3/4" x 6 3/4" and it is a light brown cardstock. The second piece is cut to 4 1/2" x 6 1/2". This patterned paper is from an autumnal paper pad from Craft Smith.


Our bear friend here was lightly watercolored with a light brown and a bright green. I then developed this cute little sign myself. I used Avery Elle alphabet stamp set and Memento black ink. I came up with the bear-thday sentiment after seeing this image. I love a great pun card.


For more interest on this card. I used some black thread under the watercolored image. On the opposite side I used three Echo Park enamel dots. I hope you enjoyed this large and punny card! Thanks for stopping by!

I think that the glitter embossed background also adds a subtle theme to the card. It is almost a more mature hot air balloon card instead of a childish/whimsical version. The pom-pom adds a little bit of the whimsical feel back, but I like how fun it is! I used gold glitter embossing powder from WOW! to highlight these beautiful clouds. The burgundy cardstock with the gold and mustard yellow compliment well.


Paper piecing is an oldie, but goodie technique that is often forgotten about. I highly encourage you to give it a try with some of your stamps! I hope you enjoyed all of the projects created by the SBC team! Thanks for stopping by!

Once I was done stenciling the main section. I used two Scotch brand washi tapes to bring in some pink. I then stamped these adorable otters from My Favorite Things. I cannot believe how cute they are. I used my Hampton Arts Stamp Perfect tool to get dark impressions with my Staz On ink. I lightly watercolored them with gray and fussy cut them out!


What I really love about the Art C stencil I used is that it had adhesive on the back. This made it so much easier to make heavy layers of ink. Distress inks are particularly great for this method because the color will keep intensifying. So, the more layers you add the more vibrant it will become. I did a very light stencil pattern with my triangular stencil to add a subtle pattern to the background.


I also really liked the color combo of this green and pink. I used a Recollections pink doily behind my stenciled cardstock. I also included some Michael's brand enamel dots and Darice white sequins scattered about. These help move the eye along the page.


Lastly, I wanted to give you guys one more fun stenciling tip. Mimic the stenciling on the front of your card on the inside as well! This makes it really cohesive and pulls it together. I also stamped an MFT sentiment on the inside. I hope you guys enjoyed this super cute card! Come join us on the stenciling challenge and be entered to win!
