#JOS004 Challenge – The Letter “B”

Joy of Sets Challenge Blog

Hello and welcome to my blog. As the winner of #JOS002 I was asked to be a “Guest Designer” for #JOS004. How exciting!!!!! This time the Challenge at Joy of Sets is to use a stamp set starting with the letter “B”. I chose to use Baby Bear.

Stampin' Cat JOS004 Baby Bear

I’ve made two versions of a Sliding Easel Card using the Bundle of Love Specialty Designer Series Paper.

This is the boy version in blue.

And the girl version in pink.

I’ve stamped the Baby Bear in Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede. The balloons are punched with the Balloon Bouquet Punch. If you look really closely you can see I’ve used the Fine Tip Glue Pen on the Bear’s eyes and nose to give them some shine. The thread on the balloons is some retired Gold Cording Trim.

Here is a picture of the back of the card so you can see how it stands up. I’ve used a fabulous tutorial from Sharon Burkert. It’s super easy to follow and makes an impressive looking card.

I love a fancy fold card that folds flat and fits into a standard size envelope.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my card today. It was such an honour to be a “Guest Designer”. I enjoy reading your comments so please leave some love.

Thanks for stopping by.

I’m not CASEing a card this week, I’m CASEing these cute little gift bags that are hiding on page 68 of the Catalogue.

My Foil Frenzy DSP arrived last week and I was itching to use it.

I’ve used the 7.6cm x 15.2cm Gusseted Cellophane Bags from page 195. I’ve filled them with my favourite chocolates, Lindt Balls. If anyone saw my Birthday cake from last week they’ll know I love Lindt.

Stampin' Cat CTC141 Foil Frenzy

I’ve used Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist Finely Woven Ribbon which matches the Foil Frenzy DSP perfectly.

The little tags on the front are punched from the Pretty Label Punch and layered on top of a Foil Frenzy Scalloped Oval. I’ve used Happy Birthday Gorgeous to stamp the tags.

I wasn’t touching the ribbon Mum…….really I wasn’t

Marvi is such a ratbag cat. He’s on a diet at the moment. Anything that even looks like food is fair game.
