Just Buggin' Challenge #20

Who said bears are only brown? I found a blue bear.
Just Buggin' is having another challenge this week titled -All about Pets.
Make a pet themed project... Think Paper Pups, animal Kingdom, etc.

I ch0se to use the Zoobaloo Cricut cartridge, and for the additional heart shape I used the George and Basic Shapes cartridge.

A Design Studio Cut File --available at the bottom of this post:

This is a bear shaped card, and I'm so excited to share it, because I made it using Cricut Design Studio. This is the first time I used DS to make a project, so if it needs adjusting at all please let me know.
The file has been created for the Cricut expressions and the Baby Bug users, I want all to enjoy this sweet little bear.

This is how I laid my cardstock on the cutting mat using my Expression machine.
Here she is... isn't she just sweet as can be?
I used a blue ink pad to brush around the edges of the bear. Used my Cuddlebug embossing folder, tiny bubbles on the muzzle and belly, then brushe with ink. I used an small oval hole punch for her nose then made a highlight mark with a white gel pen, and I love the googly eyes. Then added a ribbon bow and some bling... a blue bears got to have a little bling.
I used my computer to add words to the cut-out hearts. Here is my tutorial showing how I print on a cut-out shape using my computer. Using a rubber stamp could also add fun words too.
The bear card opened. The inside pieces are flat, not popped up.
I used a ton of pop-dots again, I love the popped up effect!Beary Much DS cut file here

  1. This is absolutely precious. My cartridge collection is quite slim right now but I can't wait to get more to try new things like this.
