Love You Mama Bear

Hey everybody! Happy Wednesday – I hope you’re having a great week! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #167 – Anything Goes! The inside of this Mother’s Day card was one of the first projects I made with my Cricut Explore Air 2, and I instantly fell in love with it! I embellished the front with items in my stash.

The Mama Bear SVG cut file was an introduction to cutting and printing in Cricut Design Space, which I really needed when my new machine arrived last Fall. I used CutCardStock Pop Tone Sno Cone cardstock for the base, a patterned paper from the Keep It Simple Snow Day 12×12 Collection Pack for the background, Desert Storm for the folded insert, and Pop Tone Red Hot for the hearts.

The machine printed the sentiment with an 0.4 black pen which very cool. I ended up cutting the folded insert a second time from Pop Tone Hot Fudge and used just the bears which I adhered to the front of those on the Desert Storm folded insert. I embellished the bottom left corner with a bear paw die cut from the Keep It Simple Lumberjack Cards & Ephemera Die Cut Pieces.

I adhered a strip cut from a patterned paper in the Keep It Simple Snow Day 12×12 Collection Pack to a piece of CutCardStock Desert Storm cardstock. I used the STAMPlorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Nesting Dies to cut a background panel for the card front. I stamped HAPPY from the Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy Add On stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a scrap piece of Desert Storm cardstock and cut it with the coordinating die.

I stamped the rest of the sentiment from the same stamp set in black ink and added another bear paw die cut from the Keep It Simple Lumberjack Cards & Ephemera Die Cut Pieces.
