Hi friends! Dawn here, and today I’m sharing a super quick and absolutely adorable card created using some fun new products from the Not 2 Shabby Shop. This project is perfect if you’re looking for an easy card design that still has lots of charm and personality.

Products Used

For today’s card, I featured two coordinating products:

• Lemon Love & Lavender Hugs Stamp Set – This stamp set is so sweet and includes a variety of cute images that are perfect for coloring. The sentiments are fun and versatile, making this set great for many different occasions.
• Lavender Love Pattern Paper Pack – This paper pack includes 12 different designs with four sheets of each. The papers are double-sided and feature a beautiful mix of florals, gingham, and polka dots. You also get some really cute images that can be fussy cut or cut out with a Brother ScanNCut.

Creating the Card

I started by die cutting a rectangle from white cardstock. You can use any size you like—I chose one slightly smaller than my A2 card base. Using a black Copic-friendly ink, I stamped my image and sentiment onto the rectangle, positioning the image slightly off to the right.

Next, I selected two pieces of pattern paper and cut them into strips about ½ inch wide. You can easily adjust the width depending on your preference. The rectangle die I used has a decorative indented line around the edge, and I wanted the pattern paper to line up right to that detail—not all the way to the edge. To do this, I placed the pattern paper where I wanted it, marked it lightly with my pick, and trimmed it down. That little bend makes it much easier to see where to cut.

Coloring the Image

For the coloring, I kept things very simple—no shading, just basic coloring.

• Yellow for the flowers on the bear’s dress and hat
• Light brown for the bear’s body
• A very pale color for the muzzle
• Light pink for the ears and cheeks
• Light purple for the dress and hat
• Green for the leaves in the bouquet
• Light purple again for the bow and flowers

This simple approach keeps the card quick and stress-free while still looking finished and cute.

Assembling the Card

To assemble the card, I adhered the longer strip of pattern paper horizontally on the left side of the rectangle. Then I added the smaller strip vertically underneath the bear’s feet so it looks like she’s standing on the cardstock.

I added a piece of craft foam to the back of the card front for dimension and then adhered everything to an A2-sized white card base.

Finishing Touches

To finish off the card, I added my favorite self-adhesive pearls. I like to use a craft knife to pick them up—it makes placement super easy. Once they’re where I want them, I press them firmly into place.

Final Thoughts

And that completes today’s card! This project came together quickly and turned out so adorable. It’s perfect when you need a fast card but still want something handmade and special.
