Today is my final, at least this week’s worth, of Silly Old Bear cards. This one is a little different in that it is sort of a mish mash of pieces I had Die cut. When I ran across the sentiment however, I decided they actually would work well together.

My group of friends here have different interests, but are still hanging out together. I love this.

Papers

There are still the Die cut animals from the Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper and a second piece of unexpected DSP. The pink checked layer is from the Silly Old Bear DSP as well. I was pleasantly surprised to find something a bit different of the other sheets. It is paired with the Hydrangea Hue cardstock as I love this color and have paired it in part with a few of the previous cards this week.

Stamps & Dies

The Dies used are from the Sweet Old Friends Dies. I have so enjoyed simply cutting the animals from the DSP. This is something that Stampin’ Up! is so creative and smart to do on occasion. And the sentiment is from the Sweet Words & Labels stamp set. I have mentioned this each card I have posted, but these are such sweet sentiments. I stamped all of them on a sheet of Basic White cardstock. Some I have cut out using the matching Die Set, and others, like this I just hand cut. This one is a bit of a fussy cut where I went around the ends not with a straight cut to make it a little smaller.

Extras

There are two Extras today and one is a special one! I have not “drawn” on a card in forever it seems. I saw someone else on a reel outlining something and did one of the hand to the forehead slaps. Like why have I stopped doing that. This card seemed a perfect time to add just another touch of whimsy. My tool for this is the Stampin’ Up! .04 Journaling Pen. It is in the current catalog, or you can find it in the online store easily. After deciding I wanted simple, so hopefully I would not mess up!, I simply drew little dashes. They are not all the same length and I did not try to make them the same. When finished I really like it. It is a different technique to frame all of my individual pieces this card contains. I hope you will give this technique a try.

The other Extra is a single 2026-2028 Butterfly. One of these was added to a previous card with the honey and the bear. Since some of the honey pots had fallen down, I thought the butterfly might be interested in more honey. LOL!
