Bear Hugs Cards with Isha and Kavya

Hello everyone, Isha here! Today, I have a fun, clean and simple card featuring our Bear Hugs stamps and dies. I love the fact that we can mix and match various products to personalize the card as per our liking. So, I made this card for my younger daughter, who literally would hug and cuddle me all the time, even though she is 17 :) And I enjoy it to the fullest.

I used a pastel palette as she loves soft colors. I started by sponging kitsch flamingo, squeezed lemonade and salvaged patina onto a white layer to create the sky. I then flicked some silver and gold paint to it.

Next, I die-cut the clouds using the Slimline Nature Border dies. I die-cut them once using white cardstock and also once in vellum. Adhere the vellum behind the white clouds. Adhere to the card diagonally using 3D foam. Stamp the bear image from the Bear Hugs stamp. Color using Copic markers. Die-cut the image using the coordinating dies. Stamp the sentiment and cut thin strips using scissors.

I wanted to add the word "CUDDLES" so, die-cut it using the Chloe Alphabet dies. I cut them once using white cardstock and once again using pink cardstock. Back the white letters by pink to create a shadow effect. Adhere to the card and apply spectrum noir clear sparkle pen. Adhere all the images using 3d foam.

Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back with another fun card! I love making galaxy cards but I never tried recreating northern lights before… seeing it in person is definitely at the top of my wish list! These ‘fake’ northern lights didn’t turn exactly how I envisioned but it’s still gorgeous to look at :) 

I first started out by creating my background by ink blending streaks of Cracked Pistachio and Seedless Preserves. I highly recommend using mini blending brushes for the lights. On my card, I made ’straight’ streaks but I think curved ones would look a bit more realistic. I am going to try more organic streaks next time :) Then, I filled the gaps using Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot around the edges. As always, I splattered some white paint to make some stars. I also went back and added some larger sparkly stars using a white gel pen! 

Then, I stamped and colored images from Bear Hugs and Winter Scenes. I ink blended the edges of the tree border from Winter Scenes using Speckled Egg distress oxide ink and splattered some more white paint to make it look like snow! Finally, I added a sentiment from Bear Hugs and added a die-cut ‘Hugs’ from Scalloped Oval Mat 3 dies from white glitter cardstock to finish off the card!

Isn’t this adorable? I absolutely love the how cute these bears are! Can’t wait to use them more in the future! Happy Crafting!
