Pooh-Bear Booklet Christmas Card

This card was made for Craft Roulette #342 whose parameters were include a 4 Bar project, fairy tale colors, kid’s book element and paperclip for random. I used Winnie-the-Pooh stamps from Unity Stamp Company and Echo Park Paper Company to make an 8-page booklet Christmas card.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Booklet: For the cover cut a double-sided pattern paper at 5 1/4x 7 1/2-inches and fold in half. Cut down journaling cards from the Echo Park Winnie The Pooh Christmas 12×12 paper collection to fit the front and back cover.glue in place. For the pages cut two 4 7/8x 7 1/4-inches rectangles from lightweight 65lb white cardstock. Fold them both in half. Insert one inside the other and trim any overhanging edges. Once the stamping of the pages is complete, stitch booklet together as shown in the video above.

Images: Unity Stamps red rubber stamps include the clump of three fir trees, Eeyore, Pooh and Piglet walking with honey (Forever with You) as well as Pooh and Piglet looking at footprints (Winter Footprints.) Echo Park’s photopolymer stamps include: Grand Christmas – Tiger, Pooh and Piglet around a Christmas tree; Snow Globe Scene – snow globe, Pooh and snowflakes; Very Pooh Bear Christmas – Piglet, North Pole sign, snowflake and tree on sled. The paperclip footprints use the stamp from Craft Roulette The Basics stamp set.

Sentiments: The sentiments are from a mixture of the stamps sets. “Our footprints….” is from Unity Stamp Company’s Winter Footprints. “Winnie the pooh” and “Adventure is out there” are from Echo Park’s Winnie the Pooh set. “And Just when Pooh…a snowflake landed on his nose.” is from Echo Park’s Grand Christmas. “A very Pooh-bear Christmas” is from Echo Park’s Very Pooh Bear Christmas, while “You are the best Christmas gift’ is from Echo Park’s Snow Globe Scene stamp set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope with its back flap stamped in black ink with “A Wonderful & Grand Christmas” from Echo Park’s Grand Christmas stamp set. The paperclip footprints use the stamp from Craft Roulette The Basics stamp set.

Winnie-The-Pooh Card

This card was made for Craft Roulette #216 whose parameters included for A2 project, baseball game colors, number(s) element and charm(s).

After I completed the process video I added thin strips of decorated paper to even out the borders of the front background paper as well as adding a second jump ring to the charm to have it hang more in the center of the frame.

Autumn Thinking of You Card

Crisp, colorful leaves gently falling off tree branches sometimes bring bitter-sweet emotions. A.A. Milne’s characters of Winnie-the-Pooh and Eeyore the donkey are playful reminders that fun can be had even in the worst of times.

For this card I used stamps and papers from Impression Obsession featuring E. H. Shepard’s Winnie-the-Pooh and Eeyore along with leaves and sentiments designed by Dina Kowal. The images were stamped in black ink and then colored with watercolor pencils. (I elected not to water brush the coloring.) Next the colored images were fussy cut. Additional leaves were stamped on some of the matted papers used on the card front and fussy cut.

The design principle of three is floated with the leaves throughout the card. Notice that the heart shaped leaf is always pointing to where your eye should flow. Leftover paper scraps were used to decorate the card back.

For the envelope back, leaves and a quote from Elizabeth Lawrence about taking time to watch the leaves turn colors, are stamped in black ink and colored with permanent markers.
