Banjo Playing Birthday Bear!

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

 I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year filled with good health and many blessings!  

I have a birthday in January.  And he is a very special great nephew!  He will be turning 5 so I am making him this fun and festive card using the Campin Out Bear w/Banjo.  The Camping release can be used for a variety of different cards especially with all of those adorable critters.

Design Steps:

1.  Use the Campin Bear w/Banjo and cut out the pieces using dark brown, brown, tan, yellow, mint green,  and black

2.  Shade and assemble the pieces with a fine tip clear drying glue.  For the cup cake I used Pastry Goodies cut out of mint green and red

3.  Use a yellow A2 card base, 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Party Hat Dp and a Piece of Music Happy Birthday DP cut 2 3/4 x 4.  I also used a piece of yellow grosgrain ribbon

4.  Glue the Music DP to the bottom of the Party Hat DP.  Add the ribbon to the top of the music paper by taping it to the back.  Then glue the Party Hat panel to the yellow card base

5.  Using the Expressions Happy and Birthday cut them out of red

6.  Place pop dots on the back of the bear and the tree stomp and add them to the front of the card.  Glue the Happy Birthday to the bottom half of the card.  I added a little sparkle to the Happy Birthday and the icing on the cup cake with my Wink of Stella.  Your card is complete

Quick Popup

Hi everyone Happy Monday and oh my, oh my, it's almost Christmas and 2022 so whose ready?! Not me time is going by way too fast for me.  I made this popup Christmas cards for a friend of mine kid who happened to be watching me craft.  She said "oooo make the bear popup" hahha I laughed and so oh ok now that I can do for sure...

So I created a slimline popup by cutting my card stock to 4 x 8.5 and scored it at 4x5, and then made two other sections at 4 x 3 approximately.  I then covered it with patterned paper that my new helper chose and then made the popup piece by simply folding a piece of paper for it to lean against.

I colored my diecut pieces with my copics and glued them with a twist meaning.  I put the hat on my bear and made the bear pull the reindeer... she thought it was funny so we went with it.

I have started coloring on colored cardstock with my copics I feel this gives it a different look

Here is my finished popup card and you can see the piece of paper I adhered to the back of my Santa Bear and walla easy peasy

I really love how it came out and I topped it off with the "Merry Christmas" sentiment
