BEAR WARE GRAND TOUR

,

Hey, ya’all! Happy World Card-makin’ Day! Bear is off on some international adventures—with bags all packed and a shiny new passport, he is ready to take on the Grand Tour! (France, Italy + the UK) I wanna go, too!!! You can see this small, but darling release over at Ellen HutsonLLC (←link)

In addition to Bear Ware Grand Tour, there’s also some super fun supporting products that can also be used as stand-alones in other projects! I didn’t happen to use them on these particular samples, but you’ll see them on my blog post / YouTube video over on the Ellen Hutson Blog when that publishes at 10 am.

We also have an Instagram hop going on where you can enter your name to win some prizes by leaving comment love! WOOT! Click HERE to go straight to my IG to join in that fun!

I really couldn’t resist making an Insta-worthy shot of Bear in London, using the Instant Photo Frames! How do you like his deer-stalker? Cracks me up!

For the background, I elongated the Skinny Stripes Die by passing it through my die cutter once, then repositioning the die further down the panel using the previous die cut stripes to guide the positioning and ran it through my machine again . . . felt kinda genius about that, LOL! (serious monkey-clapping)

For this idea, I was waaaaay excited to use some of the travel accessories in the set to create this “alpha substitution” type design using my trusty Classic Block Alphabet Dies! Had to foil the background with those tiny stars! You know me; gotta have all the stars . . . !!!

So, what do you think? Are you a fan of Bear and this latest version?

P.S. I’m not one to “decorate” my envelopes, BUT, one of my favorite things to use Washi Tape for is to decorate the flap of my envelopes—remember back in the day when wax seals were used to seal envelopes? So lovely and romantic when mail was delivered by hand . . . And, highly impractical in today’s world of modern mail machinery. Enter: Washi Tape. It makes me smile when I’m opening a letter before I’ve even seen what’s inside!
