Hello. Welcome to the Remarkable Big Blog Hop. Today, the theme is featuring Lions, Bears and other animals. For this blog hop I’m featuring the Panda Bear. The stamp is FREE with a Stampin’ Up order of $50. Stampin’ Up says that the Panda Bear is the most popular stamp in the Sale-A- Bration catalog, and I agree. I LOVE it!
The base card is Bermuda Bay card stock. This was cut at 8 1/2 ” x 5 1/2″ and folded in half . I cut the black card stock at 4″ x 51/4″. Then I cut card stock from the Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper at 4 3/4″ x 3 3/4″. I cut the large circle from the Stitched Shapes framelits with my Big Shot. I stamped the Panda from the Party Panda stamp set on the Stitched Circle. I put the circle on the Picture Perfect DSP using Stampin! dimensionals. I cut tags for the sentiments; the larger tag was Berry Burst cut at 3/4″ by 2/1/2″. The smaller tag of Whisper White card stock was cut at 2″x 2 1/2″. I stamped the ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment, from the Party Panda stamp pack, on the Whisper White tag using a Berry Burst ink pad. I pasted the small tag to the large tag and pasted the sentiment tags to the Picture Perfect DSP. I pasted all layers to the base card stock. Oh yes. I colored the dots on his party hat with Stampin’ Up markers. I think it turned out very cute. But then, it’s pretty hard to mess up a card using the Party Pandas.
The next card was made using the This Little Piggy stamp set. This stamp set was a favorite in the 2017-2018 annual catalog and is still available.
I stamped the ‘You Make me Happy’ piggy from the This Little Piggy stamp set on the large Stitched Shape framelit. I colored the piggy with a Powder Pink and Lemon Lime Stampin’ Write marker. The base was cut using black card stock at 5 1/2″x 8 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The Powder Pink card stock was cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″. The Berry Burst stock was embossed with the Polka Dot Basics Embossing Folder and cut at 5 1/4″ x 2″. Blushing Bride ribbon was wound around the Berry Burst card stock and taped to the back. A ribbon was tied to the front of the ribbon. I pasted the Berry Burst card stock to the Powder Pink card stock, which was pasted to the Black card base. The Stitched circle framelit was pasted to the Berry Burst card stock with Stampin’ Dimentionals.
That’s all for this blog. I hope you enjoyed my cards. I really loved making them. My name is Ellen Downs. The other bloggers are listed below.
