This is day 3 of Silly Old Bear cards. Today I have a Fun Fold that I created during our monthly Stamp and Share with my Upline and Team meeting. I did stray from the directions however, and added a sentiment to my card. The idea was no stamping and the Silly Old Bear DSP is fabulous for no stamping cards.
Papers
This card required three different sheets from the Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper. First are the background scenes. These are two scenes that I thought worked together. The left and center are actually one scene that I cut in half and made to fit the panels. Next is the right side scene that is very similar to the door in the tree of yesterday’s card. I believe the two work very well together and especially as background.
The next sheet from the DSP pack is the map. What better way to go on a journey than with a map as your base. And finally we have the bear and piglet. This was from a third sheet of the DSP. I have used these pre-done animals on all of the cards. They are already colored so beautifully that I could not resist them.
To create the card layout, I used Crumb Cake cardstock for the base cut 11 X 4 1/4 and scored at 2 3/4 & 5 1/2. Next is the map section which is 11 X 1 1/2 and scored also at 2 3/4 & 5 1/2. The background to the scenes is Hydrangea Hue cardstock which I love and it fits perfectly. It measures 2 1/2 X 4 (2 of those) and 5 1/4 X 4. The map pieces are cut 5 1/4 X 1 1/4 and 2 1/2 X 1 1/4 (2 of those).
Stamps
The stamping is actually an afterthought as I created the card using only the scenes to tell the story. But then I thought what would a recipient think? So I added the sentiment to tie into the scenes. It is one of the sentiments from the Sweet Words & Labels stamp set. I did not use the matching Die set. It was simply cut to straight edges with my Paper Trimmer. I did not want it to stand out above the rest of the card but to blend in if possible.
Extras
This is going to shock you to no end……there are no Extras. I could not believe it myself. When I started looking as to what needed some Bling or special touch, I could not decide on anything. So here we are with a No Bling card. Wow!
