Collar a Bear and Give Him a Hug

Guess who couldn't stay away from the SU! Occasions Catalog?   Yeah, yeah, yeah . . . The Second Thursday Stampers are diving into yet another new stamp set, some party paper, and balloons and more balloons.  We just can't figure out how ©Stampin’ Up! keeps on getting better and better but we are certainly not complaining.  All of the excitement of our new stamps and accessories are showcased nicely with our super cute and very easy collar fold card.


Collared Bear Hug Card

Our newest acquisition, the Bear Hugs Stamp Set from our Occasions Catalogwas a Bare Necessity for our collection.  This card demanded the cuteness!  We stamped our bear on Whisper White Card Stock cut to the same size as our It's My Party Designer Series Paper (3 3/4" x 5").  To make the collar we just lined up the  DSP  on our trimmer with the long edge at 2 1/2", then cut in to the 2" mark.  Fold and tape and you have a fancy collar frame.  Then we pulled out our Balloon Celebration Stamp Set, Balloon Bouquet Punch, and our Baker's Twine Combo Pack and got creative.  The bouquet of colors copied the DSP coordinating colors, and we layered things up with Mint Macaron and Melon Mambo.  Many thanks to Jennifer Blomquist at Northwest Stamper for this really great card idea!

All papers, inks, and accessories used in this card are from ©Stampin’ Up!
