I’m so honoured to be hopping with a group of amazingly talented ladies on Day 5 of Ellen Hutson’s 11th Anniversary Blog Hop! For this hop, we had to feature our favourite Essentials by Ellen set and I had the hardest time choosing. I’ve been loving the Bear Ware and Bear Ware 2 sets equally but they complement All Inside so I decided to use them all together. You can’t have one without the others!

I created this scene by creating four masks of the kitty from Bear Ware 2. I stamped the kitties in two rows and staggered them since cats would never sit perfectly aligned. Plus, someone brought a pot of catnip (from Bear Ware), which resulted in the large gathering of cats. LOL!

After watercoloring the scene with distress inks, I used dots of colour in two shades of blue and grey, respectively, to create the sky and ground. The bear is popped up with fun foam to give this fun card a bit of dimension.

The custom sentiment was pieced together from three different phrases from Bear Ware 2 and All Inside. I dual-shaded the big ‘hugs’ in colours to coordinate with the bear and his pink kitty. Heehee!

Be sure to comment on all 30 blog hop stops on the hop this week.

  1. Adding my voice to the others in being completely charmed by your sweet bear and kitties card (your catnip comment is too funny!).
    Hugs~carol

  2. Emily, your card is SO cute! All Inside and Bear Ware have been on my wish list forever and I finally bought them! (Thanks, Ellen for the anniversary discount). And I love the whimsical pink kitty. Thanks for your creativity and sense of humor.

  3. Lots of designers love the All Inside stamp and die. I've seen so many cute cards. Maybe this one the most. It's hard to blend other stamp sets into a design. Your's is perfect.

  4. Squee! This is so super adorable! I love that you have the bear holding a kitty and all of the kitties behind the bear!

    I am 1 cat away from being a crazy cat lady…i am so jealous of this crazy cat bear and all the kitties! 🤣

  5. OH MY!!! How cute is this card!!!!!! I just love how you used those adorable little kittens with the bear…. how creative! I think this is my favorite thing I've seen all day. Just so cute and clever 🙂
