- Thick Basic White Cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"
- Coastal Cabana Cardstock: 3-3/4" x 5"
- Basic White Cardstock: 3: x 4-1/2"
Fold the 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" piece of Thick Basic White cardstock in half at the score line to create your card base.
Adhere the Coastal Cabana cardstock to the front of the card at an angle, as shown in the sample.
Place the 2" square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies onto the center of the 3" x 4-1/2" piece of Basic White cardstock, about 1/2" up from the bottom. Run through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Tip: if you don't have these dies, simply cut a 2" square from a scrap of Basic White cardstock.
Stamp the sentiment above the square "hole" using Memento Black ink. Adhere the White cardstock to the front of the cardstock. Note: I know it doesn't look like it but the White cardstock is adhered straight up & down on the card.
Stamp the bear at the bottom of the die-cut square using Memento Black ink. Color in the bear using the Bronze & Ivory Blends. Using a small Blending Brush, lightly sponge Coastal Cabana ink around the bear. Fit the square back into the die-cut spot on the front of the card to finish.
