I’ve made a few polar bears using the Beary Cute bundle which I really love. For this card I decided to go with the brown variation for a more walk-through-the-woods look.
The Beary Cute bundle includes a stamp set and a punch which punches out this particular bear. However, there’s a whole family of bears in the stamp set and the baby bear is so cute.
The bear was coloured in a variety of Stampin’ Blends which gave it lovely shading. For tips and details watch the video tutorial HERE.
I die cut a banner from the beautiful Walk in the Forest DSP which provided the greenery of the woods. For adding quick texture you can’t go past Embossing Folders and the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder is a great addition to our range. Filled with festive words, sentiments and images this is going to be a very well used product in my stash.
I hope you enjoy the video tutorial. Join me every Saturday at 7:30 pm, starting tomorrow, for my 12 weeks of Christmas series on YouTube.

Today I’m playing along with the Global Design Project Challenge #gdp412 CASE the designer project. We are CASEing a card by Wilma de Korte from the the Netherlands.
To CASE means to Copy and Selectively Edit any part of the card whether it’s layout, colours, themes, stamp set. I’ve copied the layout of Wilma’s card creating a houndstooth background with the Abundant Beauty Decorative mask.
The frame was blended in Real Red and then I added Gilded Leafing with Liquid Glue dotted in sections. This was mounted using Foam Adhesive Sheets cut into thin strips.
On this I added the apples, coloured in with a variety of Stampin’ Blends and cut out using the scalpel tip from the Take Your Pick Crafters Tips. This was great to get inbetween all the leaves so that the background was visible.
The sentiment was stamped on the Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper which was also used as one of the matte layers. To stabilise the sentiment I added 3 layers of scrap cardstock under it before mounting it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Products used to create this card are listed at the bottom of this post. You can shop online or contact me to place your order.
Have a fabulous week and if I can help you in any way, please get in touch with me.

With the beautiful colours of Colour Palette #23 I went with a fresh approach to the Earthen Textures bundle. This suite is, as it’s name says, more ‘earthy’ with the colours of the Designer Series Paper being rich browns, grays and more neutral colours.
Changing up the colours gives it a more vibrant look. My key element for this card is the Melon Mambo vase with some greenery. In the background I’ve added some masking with Balmy Blue which gave it a lovely soft texture. I just love our masks (or stencils as you may like to call it). These tools can be used in a variety of ways and they are such great value. We have 2 sets in our Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue and 1 set in our September – December Mini Catalogue with a variety of designs.
The larger leaf in the background was blended with the 2 greens for some variation in colour. I really liked how these colours coordinated with the Melon Mambo vase. To cool down the warm colours a matte layer of Balmy Blue Cardstock and a DSP banner from A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper have been added.
This beautiful Designer Series Paper is our product give back for this year. For every paper pack sold, Stampin’ Up! will donate $4.25 AngliCare’s Toys n’ Tucker in Australia. You can support this cause by purchasing a pack of this beautiful paper which coordinates with the Merriest Treest dies (#162047) and Beary Cute punch (#162022).
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the weekend.

Hello and welcome to our new at SU Blog Hop. Get ready to be dazzled with our Shine, Shimmer & Glow theme featuring products from the September – December Mini Catalogue. If it’s your first time here I’m so glad that you have visited me over in Melbourne. I’m a bit crazy for all things Christmas so I’ve created a Christmas card today.
My featured product is the Snowflake Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper. This shiny metallic paper comes with 2 each of 3 designs in the pack.
I’m not one to use a lot of shimmery products on a project so for this card I combined the shiny paper with some neutrals for something more my style. I have used the silver/white sheet from the the Snowflake Magic DSP on my card and blended Lost Lagoon and Pool Party ink over it. This is a fun way to customise this paper to any project.
The tree is from the Merriest Trees bundle and I inked it up in Pool Party then added some Pretty Peacock on the bottom of the stamp to create the varying colours.
For the silver trim on the tree I experimented and applied liquid glue along the edges then poured Silver Embossing Powder over and heat embossed it. I was quite please that it turned out! Sometimes you’ve just got to give something a go- if it goes wrong, no problem but if it goes right, there’s a fun technique to use again.
I hope you have enjoyed what I have shared and can use some of these ideas to create your own projects. Please follow our hop through as you enjoy the sparkly projects. We appreciate you leaving a comment as you go through and value you taking the time to do so.

Hello friend, Welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday blog hop where every second Wednesday of the month we travel from New Zealand to Hawaii for some creative inspiration with our lovely team. This month’s theme is Let’s Take a Walk, so come with me for a walk and see where each of us stroll through.
I’m taking a walk down memory lane with my dear mum as my inspiration today. Back to the days where she is used to work in a radio broadcasting company called Back to the Bible Broadcast in Sri Lanka. She played the piano for the music department and she also corrected the English Bible correspondence courses there. I remember visiting her office many times and it was like one big family. As a child, all the adults were so kind and treated me like one of their own children and I still keep in touch with some of these people.
In my mum’s office she had a typewriter and my card has been inspired by that. Of course, the Just My Type stamp set was the perfect choice. This could be the reason I purchase every typewriter stamp set that comes out! Ironically, my father was a very speedy typist as well. At home, I remember mum typing letters on the old aerogramme paper and then she’d have carbon paper inbetween so she could keep a copy of it. Carbon paper – now that seems like a lifetime ago!
To create this card I watercoloured the background with Bubble Bath, Moody Mauve and Calypso Coral. The ink was left to pool heavier in certain areas as I wanted a deeper colouring. Moody Mauve, to my surprise, has been the colour I’ve used the least from our new In-Colours. I actually thought this would be my go-to but it hasn’t been like that. Using it extensively on this card may possibly be the turning of the corner for me with this colour.
Once the watercolouring was dry, I stamped some smaller flowers in Moody Mauve on top on the right side. Although the images blend in, I really like the faint images of the flowers you can still see in the background.
The note pad paper was scrunched up for a textured finish. The main flower was inked up in Bubble Bath and then I added some Moody Mauve with a Sponge Dauber in the centre.
To break up the pinks I added some Soft Sea Foam leaves. As this card is a memory of my time spent with my mum, I added the panel at the back which was embossed with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder to depict her musical talent.
I hope you have enjoyed taking this stroll with me as I reminisced and shared with you a little bit about my family. Please follow our hop through for fabulous inspiration from our team. As you go through we would love for you to drop us a comment as we love hearing from you.
Next on our hop is Cheryll Miller. Hop along with me to see her beautiful creation.

This card was inspired by a card I saw one of the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team members create. I loved the colours and the watercolour effect on it.
This is a really fun and easy technique to replicate and creates beautiful results. Using Stampin’ Write Markers I coloured directly on the stamp. As these markers are water based, the stamp will easily clean off after this process. Huff on the stamp with your breath to activate the ink and stamp the image on the label.
Spritzing the label lightly with water before and after stamping gives the image the watercoloured look.
The striped Pebbled Path Designer Series Paper provides a neutral background to bring out the beauty of these flowers. Did you know we have standard packs of 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Papers in each of our colour ranges?
Each pack has the same 4 patterns. So a total of 50 colours to coordinate with any project. These are particularly great for when you want something to tone in and not too busy yet with a bit of a pattern.
If you would like to create this card you can contact me for details and I’d be happy to help you.
