Let It Snow ~ Paddington Bear

Hello bloggers a very quick and simple card today.

This card began as a 6x4 pre-printed snow scene.  I don't know where I got these from I think they might have been a free gift in a magazine at some time.  Next using Serif  and Create and Craft 'Paddington bear' digikits, I printed out a topper sheet.  I then fussy cut the image I wanted and adhered it to the front of the card.  Finally I stamped the sentiment using faded jeans distress ink and Justrite 'large merry Christmas sentiments' stamp set onto white card stock.  It was then die cut with Spellbinders 'back to basic tags' die set.  Once die cut I inked the edges with the same ink pad before adhering it to the top of the car.

On Voyage ~ Paddington Bear

Hello bloggers I hope that you had a good day yesterday.  Today I have an on voyage card with Paddington Bear.

This card began as a white 6x4 card blank.  First I adhered some blue pearlescent paper to the front of the card.  Next I added a silver floral patterned paper as a mat and adhered it in to place.  Using some blue polka dot paper from my stash I die cut a mat for the topper using Spellbinders 'labels 20' die set.  I then inked the edges with faded jeans distress ink before adhering it into the centre of the card..  The topper was printed onto white card stock using Paddington Bear digikit.  It was then die cut using the same die set as above and inked with the same distress ink before being adhered into the centre of the card using foam pads.

Paddington Bear Carol Singing ~ Spellbinders Christmas Tree Bauble Hierloom Ornament Decoration

Hello blogger's I hope you had a good start to August.  Today I have a Christmas related item but it's not a card, it's a decoration for the Christmas tree or you could use it as a card topper if you so wished.

This bauble began as an A4 sheet of white card stock.  I then used Paddington Bear digikit to chose a design and printed it onto the white card stock twice. They were then die cut using Spellbinder 'heirloom ornament 2010' die set.  Next using some gold patterned holographic mirror board I die cut the frame for the decoration using the same die set but the largest two dies to make a frame.  This was cut twice.  Next I adhered the frames over the topper images and then adhered them together so that I ended up with a double sided decoration.  Finally using my crop-a-dile I punched a hole in the top and added some gold Christmas theme twine.

Best Wishes ~ Cake Paddington Bear

Hello bloggers I hope that you have had a good week and are ready for a well deserved rest on the weekend.  Today I have a card featuring Paddington Bear.

This card began as an A4 sheet of white card stock that I cut and scored to make a 5" square card blank.  Next I used a paper from my stash I adhered it to the front of the card.  I then used Paddington Bear digikit and Serif software to print out the topper.  The topper was then adhered to the card.

The sentiment was stamped using black soot distress ink and Polkadoodles 'sensational sentiments' stamp set onto white card stock.  The sentiment was then die cut with Spellbinders back to basic tags.  Finally the tag was attached using two blue pearly brads.

Paddington Bear Merry Christmas ~ Serif 8x8

Hello bloggers I hope that you have had a good week so far.  Today I have a card that I create in Serif but then separated the different elements out to print them off separately so that I could make a card up.

This card began as an 8x8 white card blank.  First I went into serif and added my digikit Paddington at Christmas from a set made by create and craft.  I then began to assembled the card on the screen adding different elements.  Once I was happy with what I had designed I spilt the design down into individual pieces and printed them onto white card stock.  I printed a backing paper and a topper with a sentiment.

The backing paper was cut down to 8x8 and then adhered to the front of the card.  Next using Spellbinders 'grand circles' die set I cut out the topper and then adhered it to the front of the card.  The sentiment was die cut using Spellbinders 'edgeabilities bracket die' set.  I positioned it all the way around the sentiment and had to cut four times.  The sentiment was then added at the bottom of the card.  Very simple Merry Christmas card.
