Silly Old Bear Suite Collection- I haven’t been this excited about a new product in a long time! I loved all the stories about Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh growing up. Are you a Pooh Bear fan?
For the Festive Friday Challenge, I had to do distressing techniques. I sponged color onto the Designer Series Paper, ruffed up all the edges with scissors and folded the edges. Now it may look more “artsy”, but I feel like I have to put a note in for the recipient that I bent the corners and scuffed up the card on purpose. Distressing a card distresses me a bit, because I typically try not to smudge, bend, or leave stray marks on my card. 🙂 Are you a fan of distressing? Do you like the look? Please leave me a comment if you would like to receive this distressed card in the mail.
The die cut inside the card is from the Sweet Words & Labels Dies, which are part of the Silly Old Bear Suite. I would highly recommend you get these dies too. They are super awesome and I predict they will stick around even when the rest of the Suite retires.
Welcome to another Festive Friday Challenge! The inspiration for our challenge is World Stationery Day which is April 29th. The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about World Stationery Day at all! #festivefridaychallenge I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start. It’s fun and it’s free! It will help inspire your creativity. Please join us! From the Inspo List I used Sepia Colors, Twine and Distressing Techniques.
