Caring Bears Card Tutorial

Happy Thursday everyone!  Allison Cope here with a fun new card making and coloring tutorial for you!

Today I thought I would create with all kinds of the Gerda Steiner Designs bear images. There’s nothing sweeter that a tiny fuzzy bear to gawk at!

For my card project I used the following digital stamp images:

• Birthday Bear 
• You Are Beary Sweet
• Have a ‘Beary’ Sweet Day
• November/December 2016 Digital Stamp Bundle

Now come and join me at my crafty desk and we’ll create with these four adorable fuzzy bears today…

After all the fussy cutting, coloring and gluing, here is our final card…

And as a final finishing touch, I also added some Glossy Accents to their eyes and noses.

Merry Little Gift Box

Howdy all!  Allison Cope here! Happy Thursday!

My son informed a few days ago that his class was doing a small gift exchange. He told me that he’d like to do some with Jelly Bellies candies so we went out and purchased a bag of them the other night. We had discussed hitting up one of the dollar stores and finding a nice jar but I thought wouldn’t it be fun to create a package for them!

So I found a sheet of cardboard in my stash that was big enough for all the pieces I’d need to create the box. I cut all the pieces for the box sides, bottom and lid and then wrapped them all in a festive red striped patterned paper.  Then I measured each side and sized 4 image panels for each side of the box using the incredible digital stamps we have!

The front panel included the sweet Santa and bunny from the Santa and Three Friends Christmas…

The next panel features the adorable little penguin and tree from the Decorating Penguin…

The third panel is adorned by the tangled up reindeer from the November/December 2016 Digital Stamp Bundle…

And finally, the fourth panel includes the adorable little penguin and holiday tree from the Holiday with Gifts and Penguins Collection…

And for the final touches, I included one of our three FREE holiday tags from the 3 Gifttags digital stamp set…

And the topper on the lid is a fun sparkly snowflake!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope I’ve inspired you to create today!  Until next time… happy creating!

Quick & Easy Holiday Tags

Happy Saturday everyone!  I’m Allison Cope and I’m here to share a fun project that I created for a donation to my son’s school.

This is a brand new school for my son as we had moved in the summertime here to Southern Alberta so they have events different from other schools we’ve been in. So I found out last week that they need donations for their Christmas Market which allows the kids to shop for donated gifts for their loved ones for a small fee.

So I am going to donated some handmade items like some crocheted hats, packages of handmade cards. Plus, the school indicated they needed stuff like wrapping paper, tags and other wrapping supplies. So today I’m to start to make a cluster of tags to send for them to use.

I grabbed a few holiday digital images from the “November/December 2016 Digital Stamp Bundle” and also from the “December/January 2016/2017 Digital Stamp Bundle”.  Digital bundles are a great way to get a lot of fun images for one low price!!!

So grab a warm drink and join me at my crafty desk today…

So here’s another quick look at all the fun tags I made today…

 

Thanks for joining me!  I hope this inspires you to begin creating all kinds of fun goodies for the holidays today!
