WHO’S A PIGLET FAN??

Any Piglet fans out there? Our Silly Old Bear DSP has images of all the residents of the Hundred Acre Wood, and the Sweet Old Friends stamps include their images as well. You can choose to die cut an image that’s already colored, or stamp one to color yourself. We have options!

I’ve stamped and colored Piglet in the past, but I love the coloring on the DSP. And I was pretty pleased to realize that the Rounded Rectangle Punch was the perfect size for a little window!

If you look closely, you’ll notice that the DSP and the Embossing Folder are both images of the Hundred Acre Wood. If you’re a long-time World of Pooh fan, I know you’ll appreciate that! It’s all in the Online Store.

WHO’S AN EEYORE FAN?

I have a very deep fondness for all the residents of the 100 Acre Wood, but Eeyore is one of my favorites. There’s something about his mournful state of mind that tugs at my heart. He brings his gloomy disposition on himself, but I can’t help but feel sorry for him!

There are multiple pages in the Silly Old Bear DSP collection that make instant backgrounds. I trimmed this one to fit my card front, die cut Eeyore out of another page of designs, and stamped a sentiment on a retired die cut that’s been sitting in my bits and pieces bin. (Do you have a bits and pieces bin on your craft desk? Quirky bits that need to find a home? This one finally did!)

The DSP truly does all the work for this card. A stamped sentiment and some adhesive is all I added – oh, and of course, the little bow on Eyesore’s tail. I confess that was a bit fiddly to tie, but I am persistent.

WILD BUNCH NOTE CARDS AND ENVELOPES

I hope you’re one of the lucky ones who was able to purchase Wild Bunch, the June Product of the Month, before it sold out. These whimsical animals have a certain sophistication to them, and I thought they would make a charming set of thank you notes for new parents.

The snail was stamped directly on the focal panel and colored with blends. After I finished coloring, I masked the image and added a brushed background and the textural stamp from the set.

I had to fussy cut the Koala. Fussy cutting isn’t my favorite thing, but I don’t detest it either. This little marsupial is popped up on dimensional on a layered Everyday Arches matted panel. The background stamp is retired.

The cow was a coloring work in progress. I blended the light and dark Pecan Pie and Golden Glow to achieve this look, with bits of Barely Blush in the ears and nose. The cow is fussy cut and lifted on dimensional on top of a retired fence. The cloudy blue sky is from Silly Old Bear DSP and the soft green branches are from Moonlit Flora DSP.

The penguins are a CASE from Lisa Stenz, who did a brilliant job. She used a gray Stampin’ Blend and the Color Lifter to get those soft shadows.

Check out the current Product of the Month, and order early to avoid being disappointed!

SWEET OLD FRIENDS: SILLY OLD BEAR DOUBLE FLIP CARD

I can’t get enough of the Silly Old Bear Designer Series paper. The images are true to the originals, and they’re presented in shapes and designs that are easy to use. I chose one of the framed images to die cut for my focal point in this double flip card.

The card base is 4 ¼” x 9 ½” scored at 5 ½”, smaller flip is 8 ½” x 3 ¼” scored at 4 ¼”, and DSP is 1/4″ narrower than each panel. Add the layers to all the card panels, then adhere the smaller card to the inside of the larger one but facing the opposite direction.

Now all that’s left is to put a sentiment inside – or leave it blank for lots of writing space! Last I looked, Silly Old Bear DSP was available in the Online Store. Don’t wait for it!

SILLY OLD BEAR AND THE WORLD OF POOH

I grew up with Winnie the Pooh, the A.A.Milne version. The stories were gentle, the characters varied and relatable. When Stampin’ Up! announced the Silly Old Bear Suite, I knew I was going to dive in.

Deb Smeak runs a mystery stamping event on Facebook, and she offered this concept in February. I just discovered it, and I knew it would be perfect for the Silly Old Bear.

I created a second project because I wanted to put the book title on the spine. It turned out very “Winnie-the-Pooh”-like, a bit wobbly. I used an old alphabet set and I’ve sadly lost the name.

I changed the inside, too. Not sure which one I like best – let’s vote! Leave a comment as to which one you like best.
