This set is a lot of fun! It has SO many possibilities -- birthdays, Christmas, new baby . . . AWESOME! I made a couple cards to show you with it. The first one uses the adorable bear in it. I instantly thought of a baby card when I saw this guy (who knows why I have babies - specifically baby boys on the brain - only 11 weeks left *giggles*). I used a sketch from Limelight Papercrafts (Sketch #4) to create the layout of this card! Both of these two cards also work perfectly for today's challenge on Hanna Stamps (Create a card or item using 2 or more embellishments). This card uses ribbon, sewing machine stitching and buttons.
Stamps: Vintage Toys (Hanna Stamps), Karen Foster Design Snap Stamps (Small Casual) Paper: Lily Kate (Basic Grey), Bashful Blue (SU!), Certainly Celery (SU!), Whisper White (SU!), Neenah Solar White Ink: Onyx Black Versafine, Colorbox Pigment Brush Pad - Frost White Accessories: clear embossing powder, white gel pen, copic markers, white buttons, blue gingham, Nestabilities (Scalloped and plain oval dies), sewing machine, white thread.
This second card was inspired by seeing all sorts of holiday (Christmas) stuff on the shelves already, even though Halloween has not even passed. Every time we walk by a nutcracker, my little E gets so excited. She really loves them for some reason. When I saw this little toy soldier, I instantly thought he would make the perfect nutcracker soldier and a perfect Christmas card. I used the layout from Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #34 (of course this one is sans cupcake). I love the colors on this card, and I issue you a challenge to use them together on a card.
COLOR CHALLENGE: Rose Red, Garden Green (or Wild Wasabi) and Bashful Blue
