I did have trouble getting a good photo of the actual colors on this one.  I added Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon and Champagne rhinestones to this one. I cannot resist adding these when I can.  They're beautiful!

  Look at these three fabulous swaps that all feature the Beary Cute bundle.  All so different which shows how versatile this bundle can be.  

  First is an amazing fun fold card made by Candace.  

  Save

  She stamped her neat background using stamps from Artistically Inked. I know it doesn't look like a fun fold; but look what you see once you open it up!  

  Save

  So fun!  And not that difficult either. I created a similar card on this week's Live video. I'll share it and a free project sheet next week.  

  Measurements:

  • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 3", 4 1/4", 5 1/2" 
  • front white 2 3/4" X 5 1/4", inside white 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
  • Pretty Peacock front 2 7/8" X 5 3/8"
  • White inside greeting layers 2 3/4" X 1 1/2"
  • Smoky Slate greeting layers 2 7/8" X 1 3/4" 

  She used Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray and Lost Lagoon for her inks.  All stamps are from the Beary Cute stamp set. 

  Save

  Next is a fun & bright card made by Tracey:

  Save

  She chose to feature the Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper here, focusing on the blues and green patterns.  She broke up the busy tree paper with a striped piece under the greeting and bow. Neat! 

  Here's the inside view.  The greetings are from the Christmas Classics set. 

  Save

  Next up is a neat book-binding card made by Candy.

  She used the Beary Christmas designer paper and stamps from the Beary Cute bundle.
