Crafty Calendar Challenge 'We Are Going On A Bear Hunt' Challenge

Good morning all, this post should of posted yesterday but it didn't quite make it lol.

As it is the first Saturday of the month it is time for another Crafty Calendar Challenge and this month 'We Are Going On A Bear Hunt'. So you can use a bear of any kind on your project. 

I cheated with my project for this month as this is a card that I made a few weeks ago but it came in handy with the way I am at the moment, I wouldn't be able to do this just now. This card went all the way to Australia. The elderly gentleman that ordered this card said it needed to have lots of pink and be glammed up, I took a guess this is what he meant and the couple where over the moon with it, in fact the gentleman's wife cried when I delivered it.

This is a large 8" x 6" card and I did correct my mistake before delivering it, oops I think I need to go back to school for spelling lesson's and to think I used to be a teacher lol. The image is one the lovely Shell Shearer found for me at Di's Digi's when I asked her for idea's. Lots of little extra's added to glam it up.

Good morning all, I hope you are all enjoying the start of the weekend. 

I have some great news to share with you today and that is that I was invited to join the ladies at Silhouette Challenges as part of their design team and as you can see I said I very quick YES! My regulars will know just how much I love using my Silhouette Cameo and this will give me lots of chances to do things that perhaps I wouldn't normally do.

So onto the challenge which as read would of seen above is 'Print and Cut' which is one of the features that I love on the Silhouette. I have made two cards for you one using the traditional style of print and cut using a file from the Silhouette Store and another using print and cut with a digital stamp from my own library of images having been purchased from Sassy Cheryl's.

For this first card I used this subway art by Echo Park and as it was quite large just added a backing piece of card stock and a ribbon.

Supplies:-

6" Square Scalloped Card Blank - Boyes

Card Stock - Bazzill

Die Cut Shape - Silhouette Store Subway Art by Echo Park #40693

Ribbon - Ribbon Store

For this second card I used this cute Sassy Cheryl's image which I cut out with my Silhouette Cameo (I love how neat it cuts around the image) before colouring with Promarkers & Flexmarkers. I also cut the mat layer and the paw border on my Silhouette. I teamed the card with First Edition 'Sweet Owl' papers and some heart pearls. I haven't added a sentiment as this card could be used for a few occasions.
