Bently Bear Collection

My husband used part of his Christmas bonus to surprise me with a subscription to Cardmaking & Papercraft - the UK's No. 1 cardmaking magazine.

Their magazine includes a free gift with each issue, and January's gift was the Bentley Bear Thank You Collection.

I used the stamp set to make this mini set of four cards.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the inspiring ideas in Issue # 139 and look forward to the next issue arriving in the mail!

I'll be listing a set of these in the Etsy shop sometime today!

Supplies used: Bentley Bear Stamp Set, Circle/Scallop Circle Nestabilities, Flower Punch, Pearls, Colored thread, Misc. Patterned Papers, Colored Cardstock, Prismacolor Scholar Pencils, Sharpie Marker (faux stitching)

Spring Card Set

I created this simple square card set to replenish my personal card stash that gets used up so quickly!

A simple piece of white lace adds a touch of elegance to the front.

Tiny punched flowers with pearl centers accent the sentiment.

Supplies used: Scallop Square Nestabilities, Lace, Flower punch, Pearls, Black Sharpie (Faux Stitching)
