Bears and BRRRRRRR....RGStudio360 reveals today's bundle!

Brrrrrrr....When I saw this sweet bear with roses I KNEW I had to turn him into a polar bear!  It's the perfect time of year for it!  This sweet bundle has been a BLAST to create with and I just ADORE these bears!!!

I started out by coloring with my Copics.  I also cut some strips of Powdered Sugar Cardstock, rounded the corners and doodled them up with a few blues and a few gray Copics to create a nice "igloo" for him to stand in front of.  

Isn't he the cutest?  

I assembled the "ice blocks" onto some Nectar Stone cardstock then splattered a bit with white paint.  Next, I cut the digi sentiment out using a banner style format (my favorite way of using digitally printed sentiments).  Next, I doodled a little snowy grounding to help this bear stand tall in front of his igloo. 

Mounting this panel onto some Powdered Sugar cardstock, then onto some Sweet Pink cardstock and then mounted this whole panel onto a Nectar Stone base.  To finish off the card, I added some pink and gray twine and a little button at the top!  :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE this set so much!  I'm NOT done with it.  I'll be back this weekend with a few more projects.  Hope you have fun with your set!  

Bears, Hearts and LOVE...Part 2 RGStudio360 reveals today's bundle!

Hey there, I'm back with another sweet share featuring the most adorable bears ever!  If you had a chance to check out my project on my previous post, you'll know I'm swooning over these bears.  This Mama bear with her baby just warmed my heart and I knew they needed to take the spotlight on this card!  

I colored the bears from the Sweet Love set with the same Copic markers that I used in the previous card.  I also incorporated some individually cut hearts from the Many Hearts background set.  I have a collection of deelish hearts now! Hop over and check that one out HERE if you are interested in the deets.  

Most times, I don't like to fussy cut around a sentiment and this was the case with this card.  SOOO....I snagged the sentiment on the PDF and placed it on a white panel using Microsoft Word.  I then Cut the whole panel out so that the sentiment was in the perfect position on the card.  

Adding just a tad bit of plaid printed paper, some twine, some wooden buttons finished this sweet card off.  

Alrighty...Card #2 is done!  I'm really in the groove...hee hee...  I'll be back with another sweet twist on this bear collection.  If you've been following me on social media...you've seen some peeks already!  See you soon!

Bears, hearts and LOVE! RGStudio360 reveals today's bundle!

Hey there inky friends!  I've got the most adorable projects to share with you this week.  RGStudio360 released their second bundle special this morning and in lightning speed, it sold out!  No worries, you can still purchase the bundle for a few more hours and you'll receive your digi set right away, but you'll have to wait a bit for the stamps until they are shipped from the manufacturer. If you care to wait, each individual set will become available in the near future.  Just keep your eyes peeled!  

This bundle includes three fun stamp sets:  Sweet Love (the bears), Many Hearts (the heart background), All Love (sentiment set)

Sooo.  Here's how this project came together:  Instead of modifying and tweaking the digital images in computer programs, I decided to just print the digital PDF's out and use the images just as they come.  My first pick was the adorable happy bear holding the heart in the Sweet Love set.  I cut that image out and got to work coloring it with my Copic Markers.  I REALLY love coloring bears and this little guy was a blast!  I've listed the colors below the image.  

Copics Used:  

Bear:  E30, 33, 34, 57, 71; Y26 and White Gelli Roll Pen  

Heart: E93; RV29, 42, ; R05 and White Gelli Roll Pen

To create my background, I used my Gelli Plate and some pink acrylic paint and created an impression large enough to fit the size of the background image on the corner of a piece of Powdered Sugar  cardstock.  I then let that dry and ran it through my printer using the Many Hearts background.  After printing, I used my heat gun to quick dry the printer ink and then cut out the background.  I splattered this background with some "runny" white acrylic paint just to give it some added texture and depth.  

After that, I used my sewing machine to do a bit of stitching.  I also printed another background piece so I could cut individual hearts out from the background.  I love that there are various sizes of doodly free hearts!  When I cut them out, I just colored them all with my Copic markers that were used in the bear image.  

I started gathering layering panels and selected Rich Cherry and Black Taffy and then created a card base with Sweet Cane cardstock.  I layered these panels and then started assembling the card.  I thought I would pull in a bit more texture by adding a scrappy heart I cut and stitched from an old pair of jeans.  LOVE working with fabrics!

I layered everything onto my card just the way I liked it, added some ribbon, golden thread a few buttons and some shabby silver circle diecuts. I also distressed edges of the hearts background  to finish it off!

Now...Hmmm..I think I know the perfect people to send this card to!  I hope you've enjoyed this set as much as I have.  I'll be back again tonight to share another cute project featuring this bundle!  See you soon!
