Guest Designer Spotlight: Baby Bear Card with Stephanie Klauck

Hello everyone, it's Stephanie here and I'm thrilled to be back on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog with a baby card that I created with the new Baby Bear stamp set. As soon as I saw this stamp set I knew that I would be making a ton of baby themed card with it. There are so many great images and sentiments that work so great together.

To create my card I first created a background scene with Bristol cardstock and 3 shades of Distress ink (Peacock Feathers, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron). I die-cut all of the pieces and then I added the colour with an ink blending tool. Once I had them all inked up, I spritzed some water onto all of the pieces and then dabbed it up with a paper towel to create some texture.

I stamped and coloured all of the images that I wanted to use in the scene and then I cut them out with my scissors. I also stamped, coloured and cut out the tree from the Summer Picnic stamp set to use in the scene.

I added some twine from behind the tree and adhered the baby bear wrapped in the blanket onto it and then I padded the rest of the bears in the grass. I stamped the sentiment directly on the card front and then I added some clear sequins to complete the card.

Thanks so much for joining me on the blog today!

Baby Bear Watercolored Panels Card with Lexa

Happy Friday everyone! Lexa here with another sweet baby card using Baby Bear stamps and coordinating dies. I create watercolored square panels and lots of cute baby stuff for my card. I just can't resist all the adorably tiny little things on this set!

I start my card by creating watercolor backgrounds in blue, yellow and green on a piece of watercolor paper. I then cut 6 panels with a basic stitched square die. I love the color combination! Then I stamped all my images in Versafine Onyx Black and watercolored them with Distress Markers. I also create some details with a white gel pen--it always adds extra something. The onesie, milk bottle, diaper pin, a pair of tiny socks, and a blue polka-dot sleepsuit...aren't they the cutest?

Coordinating dies surely make everything easier, but sometime I need to fussy cut them as I did on the blue bib. So it looks like a built-in stamp, I was inspired by Mendi's cards, she does it a lot. Finally I tied brown twine on the top, it matches my baby bear perfectly.
