Cards for Kids and FREE Ink Pads!

As we count down to the FINAL DAYS of Sale-A-Bration I wanted to show you a few cards I made for “Cards for Kids”. If you haven’t heard about this fantastic joy-giving event check out Jennifer McGuire’s blog here.

These little cards are my new favorite size (4×4″). I love that I can put them in Stampin’ UP! clear envelopes (just fold the securing flap a bit to create a square envelope) and *hopefully* make these darling children laugh. 🙂

Each of these QUICK cards was made with SU! Kraft cardstock, DSP (Designer Series Paper) from the Sweet Pea DSP pack (in the Spring Mini Catalog). I used the Very Thankful stamp set for the turtles (the sale of this stamp set benefits the Ronald McDonald House Charities!) and colored them with colored pencils. For the orange I used Tart & Tangy – which I got FOR FREE during SAB!! I embossed the orange and matted it on a SU! Scalloped Circle punch in Pumpkin Pie textured cardstock. The only thing not SU! was the word-bubble punch.

Here are a few projects I’ve been working on lately…

Each of these projects uses items that are ALMOST GONE!!

Both frames feature papers from the Sweet Pea Paper Pack which is ONLY available through March 31!! I’ve made dozens of projects from this paper pack and haven’t even scratched the surface – there are so many fabulous papers included! Scoop up this great pack ASAP!

The Milkcap card features papers from the Notebook Designer Paper Series that’s on the Clearance Rack! For only $4.99 you receive 12 fabulous designs (2 each of 6 designs). Did you see these papers on the altered wooden frame? 🙂 They’re the puffy flowers!

As an added bonus I’m offering a FREE Classic Ink Pad of your choice with ANY purchase from my website now through March 31! That’s IN ADDITION to your Sale-A-Bration FREE products for any order over $50! Hurry, these FREE specials end March 31!

Front Page!

I’m so excited!! I just found out that MamaBearStamps was featured on the FRONT PAGE of Etsy yesterday! Can you tell I’m a bit giddy?! 🙂 Here’s a screenshot:

See? That’s me in the lower right corner! HEE HEE!

Just wanted to share my excitement with my lovely blog readers and let you know that I have lots of items in the works that will be uploaded to Etsy soon! Check out my shoppe and let me know if you have a custom request!

All the best, T

Chocolate Bunnies

I LOVE this chocolate bunny! It’s only fitting… my day job is at a candy company! 😉 I have a bunch of mini gifts in the works with this little guy (yes, it’s a boy, lol) but wanted to share some of my new Chocolate Bunny Embellishments I have at my Etsy shoppe and how I made them.

I stamped these guys on Kraft cardstock twice – once in Chocolate Chip Classic Ink and once with Versamark and embossed him with clear embossing powder. I then carefully cut around him and applied a diminsional to the back. The bottom layer on the diminsional was left intact, and glued to a clear sheet (cut to size) so you just simply peel the bunny off the backing sheet and apply to your project. SIMPLE! Here are the products I used:
