A Beary Cute Bundle | New Mini Catalogue | Positive Inkers Blog Hop

Hello crafty friends!  It's a new month and that means our Positive Inkers Design Team have a new blog & Instagram hop for you!  We're featuring the brand new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue - super exciting!

I fell head over heels for the Beary Cute bundle!  I mean seriously...how cute are those polar bears!!

A B

I stamped the bears using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and for the scarf, Real Red.  , fussy cut two of them and used the punch to cut out the third.

Lately I've been obsessed with Blending Brushes, and I used them, along with Balmy Blue ink on the same colour cardstock to create a cool background for the bears.

How cute is this little family and their snowy background - which is DSP from the Beary Christmas paper!  I cut it using one of the Nested Essentials dies!

For even more snow, I heat embossed the snowflakes from the Beary Cute stamp set.  It's still summer here in Canada so now snow yet LOL....at least not in Southern Ontario! 😊

Last, but not least, I heat embossed the sentitment in white onto Balmy Blue cardstock.  I love how this simple card turned out!  This would be a great card to make multiples!  What do you think?

Wishing You Much Happiness

Happy Tuesday everyone!  May seems like a good time work on wedding cards, wouldn't you agree!  

Are you wondering why you can't see the card base?  There's no cardstock - it's true!  The base of the card is the amazing Parisian Blossoms Specialty DSP! 

My choice for the sentiment was easy!  The So Sentimental stamp set has gorgeous phrases & fonts, and for an elegant look, I heat embossed this lovely sentiment using Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder on Petal Pink cardstock, then cut it with one of the Stitched So Sweetly dies. Did you know when you purchase the stamp set & dies as a bundle you save 10%!

These dies - delicate & pretty.....swoon!  My thought - the Ornate Border dies are a must-have for your crafting!

To finish the card, I cut a short piece of Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon & Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding, then pinched them together using Glue Dots to make a 'ribbon sandwich'.  Lastly, I die cut one of the flowers from the Ornate Border dies, adhered it with a couple of Glue Dots, and added 3 Basic Rhinestones for the perfect amount of bling!

So Sentimental

Today my cards combine the So Sentimental Bundle with the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper from the new 2020 Mini Catalogue!

Inspiration for this card came from US demonstrator Rachel Tessman (Stamp Your Art Out!)
Naturally, I decided to add my own flair.

Embossed Lovely Lattice Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration Blog Hop!

Now to the card for today!  If you haven't heat embossed onto vellum, you need to!  The results are guaranteed to be gorgeous!  For this card, I used the Lovely Lattice Free Sale-a-bration stamp set.

 When colouring on embossed vellum, you colour on the flip-side of the image.  I used 2 colours of Stampin' Blends - Light Lovely Lipstick & Dark Mossy Meadow.  

It's so quick & easy - I was amazed!

I thought this sentiment would be perfect for the card.  It's from Perennial Birthday.

Also from Perennial Birthday - the inside sentiment, flower & leaves, stamped with Lovely Lipstick & Mossy Meadow.

The finished card!  I'm delighted, and by the way, this was my first attempt at colouring on vellum!
