Happy Friday! It’s Jules of Paper Gems by Jules on the blog with a Bear-y fun card featuring the KOM-panion stamp set “Wilder Still.” This month the KOM was offered in a special way and you have a chance to get some or all the parts of this amazing 8.5″ x 11″ sheet of beautiful red rubber stamps. I wanted to highlight just one and share how I used it with some other stamps in my stash and some fun ephemera also made by Unity!
I started picking the paper. I had already fallen in love with Flutter & Bloom Paper Pack for the base/background. It was a perfect scene for this beautiful bear. {PS – There’s a beautiful ephemera that pairs with this paper that I totally wish I had right now.} I trimmed this paper to 4.125″ x 5.375″ and distressed the edges. I added Iced Spruce Distressed Ink to the edges.
Next I stamped the beautiful bear and the floral from Be the Girl stamp set. I color both using Copics and fussy cut them out. Next, I pulled out the Creative Inspiration Sentiments Ephemera and die cut the Explore Your Imagination sentiment using the Scallop & Stitched Sentiments Dies.
Now to put it all together… I start by adding thin foam tape under the flower and adhered it to the patterned paper. Next, I added a strip of thin foam tape where the bear would be on the flower and doubled the thin foam tape where the bear would be on the patterned paper. Last, I used thin foam tape behind the sentiment and doubled it where it hangs off the bear. For a final touch, I added some ink splatters before adhering it all to a dark green card base.
