Hello crafty friends,
Hope your weekend was a fun one in which you got to spend a little time crafting! I was able to create this layout for today. Today is also a bit special because I get to announce that I was recently added to the Fab Four Design team for Scrapyland.com. Scrapyland.com is an online retailer with a huge selection of dies, copics, papers, adhesives and all the other fun stuff that makes our paper crafting so much fun! So let’s get to my simple and fun project.
Here is a view of my layout. I used the Classic Doodlecharms cartridge with my Cricut Expression. The bear, pumpkins and brown charms were created with the cartridge. The patterned paper I used is from the DCWV Sweet Stack. I think this has to be one of my top 5 favorite stacks. I added a pretty strip of American Crafts Ribbon to the photo with a sweet little bow at the bottom.
Here is a closer look at the cute little bear. I “paper pieced” her together all from cuts in the cartridge.
I added a cute little button and some twine to the center of the little flower on her head. I inked her edges with Cocoa Cat’s Eye Pigment Ink.

Here is a view of the entire title. I used small doodlebug brads to fasten the
charms to some burlap cord.
Here’s a closer look at the lettered charms. I created the title charms in Adobe Photoshop
and sized them so they cut out with a 1” circle punch.
I layered the lettering on a green, 1 1/8” circle punch and a white 1 1/4” scalloped punch.
Here’s a closer look at the pumpkins. I inked the outer edges in some Mango Tango Colorbox pigment ink and then used some Pebbles Basic Brights 10 pc. Chalk Ink to add some color to the leaves and the pumpkins. I also used my Copic E23 Hazelnut marker to add a little brown to the stems.

That bear is just adorable and I cant believe you made it using Doodlecharms! Way to think outside the box to make it!

These are very nice and creative.
ReplyDeleteLove these! Do you offer instructions for the bears anywhere? The arms look like their from the ducky but guessing parts & sizes will take a while.
