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.

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

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.
