Sweet Angel Baby Tear Bear

 

Hi everyone! Twila, here on the Kadoodle Bug Designs Blog.

 

I am sharing this super sweet Angel Baby Tear Bear Card.

 

I created this with the super Cutie Katoodle Angel Bear svg cutting file found here.

 

Instead of leaving her eyes open, I made them closed using the super Cutie Katoodle Sleeping Angel Bear found here.

 

I made my Angel Bear fuzzy and soft by using the tear bear method. I uploaded the pattern to Cricut Design Space and cut out the pattern and accessories with my Cricut Explore.

 

I traced my pattern pieces into the back of mulberry paper. Took a water brush to their outline and tore them out. I brushed the pieces with them turned upside down and chalked the edges with Colorbox Chalk, Chestnut Roan.

 

I assembled with Fabri-Tac. My go to adhesive.

 

The background paper is from Doodlebug Design, the clouds are cut from two scoops cardstock by Bazzill.

 

 

Thanks so much for your visit today!

 

 

 

Pumpkin Tear Bear Card

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Kadoodle Bug Designs blog. Today, is my day here and I'm sharing this super cute Pumpkin Tear Bear Card. Sit back and stay awhile. DT Twila

I made the card base in Cricut Design Space and cut it out with my Cricut Explore. It was super easy. 

I took a square from basic shapes and made it 4x4.5, I then copied and pasted, so I'd have another identical square. I overlapped them a little and welded to make it all one large rectangle. I then brought in a score line, also from basic shapes. Added it in the center and pressed attatched and then cut. I used Recollections craft cardstock for my base.

I then made a 4x4.5 square and a small 1 1/2 x4 rectangle. I cut these out with two different patterned cardstock papers from Doodlebug Design. 

I then used Basic Cricut Fonts and made my title in Design Space. I used my black cricut pen in my Cricut Explore pen holder and then cut it out.

I chalked all of this with Colorbox Chalk in Burnt Sienna. And then I glued it all down to my base saving room for my pumpkin tear bear. I added a super cute pop up sticker, also from Doodlebug Design and the perfect match for my Doodlebug Pumpkin Paper.

I found the pattern for my tear bear at Kadoodle Bug Designs. I just can get enough of the cute KBD patterns. I uploaded the pattern to Cricut Design Space and cut it out with my Cricut Explore.

I took this pattern and used a tracing tool to trace it all in the back of thick 150+gsm Orange Mulberry Paper. I then took my scissors and cut out each piece leaving about 1/4 inches around my trace marks to tare out my pieces. 

I hand tore out each piece and then flipped the pieces face down and took a wire brush to them. Making sure it was all dry I chalked all edges in Colorbox Chalk Burnt Sienna.

I then assembled my bear using Fabri Tac, which is my go to glue. I did the face and added the pumpkin face to its body. I brushed it all again with a soft brush and attatched to the card.

Thanks for your visit. Please leave a comment and tell me what you think.

Session 1: Choosing Supplies

I picked out my papers and embellishment decorations. I chose Doodlebug Design Cardstock in a Halloween Theme and found irresistible Pop Ups.

Session 2: Project Brainstorming

I went to www.kadoodlebugdesigns.com and chose which files I wanted to use. I couldn't resist going with The Frankies. I also decided I wanted to go 3D. I looked at haunted house 3D svgs and somewhere in the process I chose a church. I don't even know why, maybe the Frankies were "Just Married" in my mind.

 

I found a Church folding card from MyScrapChick  and decided to make it a box where it would sit up.

 

Session 3: Designing in Cricut Design Space, Cutting the pieces with Cricut Explore

I placed the church card into Design Space, resized it to its required measurements. I attached all the windows from the file to where I wanted them on the box pieces. (So they would cut leaving me an opening for acetate sheet.) I cut an extra top panel to use for the bottom. This changed my card to a 3D box.

 

I used Doodlebug Design Cardstock and Recollections Cardstock to cut out all the pieces to my house. I did the same with the Frankies. (Including the patterns I used to make my Tear Bears.)

 

Session 4: Assembled House

I chalked all of the pieces using ColorBox Chalk and inks. I went with Charcoal for my Doodlebug Design Whimsy Web cardstock pieces and I used an old ink pad so it wouldn't go on darker than intended.

I went on to assemble and I noticed a designing mistake. I didn't attach the windows to the outer layer, so my windows weren't windows that went all the way through like I had wanted. I decided to leave it.

 

I cut acetate sheets in squares just a bit bigger than the windows and placed Scotch permanent mounting tape around their edges so they would be raised and have a see thru appearance. I placed spiders and stars inside. I then glued everything together with Fabri Tac (any glue can be used, but this is my go to.)

 

I happened to use to much glue on the back, which is a pocket. (BOOO, It looked awful!) So, I glued another panel over it and now it has two pockets. (I love this and am happy I learned something.)

 

I took my Doodlebug Design Pop Ups and had loads of fun placing them all over the church. 

 

Session 5: Tear Bears

I took my bear parts and traced them into the back of thick mulberry paper. I tore out all of the mulberry paper pieces and let them dry. I sat it aside and chalked all of my Doodlebug Design cardstock pieces with Colorbox chalk in colors a bit darker than the piece I was chalking.

 

I went back to my fluffy pieces and brushed them while they were faced upside down with a wired brush. I chalked them with Green Colorbox ink. Afterwards I did my faces using gel pens, white Colorbox and brushed some pink from Peebles Chalk onto both Frankie Cheeks.

 

I went on to assemble all of my pieces with Fabri Tac. I took one last soft brush to all my furry tear bear pieces.

 

Session 6: Finishing Touches

I took my Signo white gel pen and added highlights to the whole project. I attached the Frankies to the church.

 

I took a few cotton balls and pulled them apart making them resemble cobwebs. They were placed without glue.
