I think I’ve enjoyed Spring Card Camp 2 even more than the first Spring Card Camp. I have several lessons from both camps still to try. This afternoon I created three cards I’ll share later from Day 6, but today I want to share two cards I created from Channin Pellitier’s lesson on letter substitution for Day 10. It didn’t take me long to find just the right image to replace a letter in a sentiment. This cute bear holding a heart seemed perfect to replace the “U” in HUGS.
In talking to Sarah this week, I found out that Hannah no longer wishes to share a card with Caleb. She came out of her room after rest time the other day clutching the rainbow card, and announced, “MY rainbow card.” So this time they’ll each get a card of their own. I’ve had this darling bear stamp from Ellen Hutson for over a year, and have never put it to use. In addition to the heart, I have a whole collection of cute items the bear can hold, so I know this isn’t the last time you’ll see him.
He was just the right height to pair with The Stamp Market’s “Skinny Upper Alpha” dies which I cut from black fun foam—a technique I saw Laurie Willison use awhile ago. It give the letters a bit of dimension as well as some texture IRL.
The accompanying sentiments are from Papertrey Ink’s “Big Hugs.” Both patterned papers came from The Stamp Market’s 6X6 “Color Crush” paper pad.
I’m linking up these card to the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, Animals, and recently revived NBUS (Never Before Used Stuff) Challenge. I should have linked an earlier post this month to that challenge as well. Between the #100DayChallenge and the card camps, I’m getting around to using some products I’ve had for awhile.
What a cutie this bear is. I like both the cards you have created & that message is so correct; can never get enough hugs. I imagine that soon Grandparents all over will be sharing those pent up hugs upon their Grandkids! (col).
So CUTE! I’m with Hannah – all mine!!!
Awwwwww!!!
Darling cards! and both of the grands should be quite happy to get this hug!
Super adorable!
Absolutely adorable! That bear is one of my favorite stamps – he/she is so versatile!!
A perfect letter substitution!
I wish you could see my smile, Karen! It’s hard to believe that adorable bear and those long skinny letters weren’t part of the same set. They are perfect together and both versions are fantastic! They will be so tickled to get their own cards. I’ve always had to do that with the twinks. I think it’s great that you can make both a girl and boy version with sweet pink polkie dots on one and manly stripes on the other! Take care and keep safe and thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
