Papercraft Business Challenge #22 - There's a Bear There!

Hello, fellow crafters! This is the beginning of a new challenge over at Papercraft Business Challenge Blog!   This month, we're doing cards (or anything crafty) with the Theme of There's a Bear There! Such a cute theme, too! But first, check out the Giveaway for this month by Whimsy Stamps:

I have to admit, I don't do a lot of bears, so I didn't have many in my files. But I did come across a real cutie by Pickled Potpourri. And I totally love it! Now, I couldn't find a link for that bear in the shop, so it may have been retired. I've apparently had it longer than I thought. Anyway, I'm sure there are plenty more over there! 

So here is my birthday card: 

I call him Happy Birthday Bear.  I used my Spectrum Noir color markers to color him in. Then I used an SVG file on my Silhouette Cameo 3 to cut out the easel card. I basically just had to glue it all together (love the cut files!! ).  I used the pink designer paper from my stash that I got from Close To My Heart as a Consultant. (I recently joined up again....I really love their papers!)

I hope that you will check out all of the Design Team blogs over at Papercraft Business Challenge! There are some really awesome projects in there! And be sure to join us for this month's challenge! Thank you for stopping by!

Now let me share with you my project, using Chickadee Greetings. I absolutely love this digital! It was a clean and simple design, yet it packs a lot of punch! And I love birds anyway, so this was an easy one for me to do!

I love the colors of this. Normally, I would use red with black and white, but because I wanted the color of the Chickadee to be close to the real bird, I decided to use the yellow colors with the rest of the card, too. And it turned out so much better then expected. 

There will be more details and inspiration in our upcoming online issue for July-August 2017. Be sure to check it out!
