Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, Turn Around!

I feel like I was just writing about my little sister getting married and now here I am announcing that she's pregnant! She's due in May, which means baby showers are coming soon! My mom's friends are throwing her a shower and they came to me for invitations. The only request? Teddy Bears.

Teddy bears? I can do teddy bears!

I found a stamp set and matching die set at Mama Elephant and got to work right away.

First, I printed and die-cut the text part of the invite.

Then I stamped and die-cut dozens of adorable little bears.

Then I was on to assembly.

The thing I like best about these invitations is that they are not all the same! I made 10 invitations and while the colors, style, and layout are all the same, the pattern combinations are all different!

These were so much fun to make! I got to use the die-cut machine I got (from my sister!) for Christmas, I had complete creative control over the design (thanks Carol!), and I got to use tons of patterned paper! I love patterned paper!

So what do you think? Are these bears adorable or what?

Happy Crafting!
