I used this week's sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches (#212). I mirror imaged the sketch to accommodate the direction Teddy is facing. Teddy is colored with copics, fussy cut and popped up on an embossed piece of cardstock. I used lots of faux stitching on this card. I was able to use lots of scraps as well. The patterned paper, pink cardstock, white square and kraft banner are from scraps.
Paper Saving Tip: One of my favorite ways to stretch my paper is to die cut smaller mats out of the larger ones. For instance, the pink cardstock that is matting the banner is cut from the middle of the mat that is on top of the card base. Since the larger mat has gingham paper (and other layers) on top of it, you can't tell that part of it was cut away.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Georgia Pacific (white), Bazzill (pink), Stampin' Up (kraft)
Patterned paper: Frances Meyer
Stamps: StampArt Design (Baby Bear's Butterfly), Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps (Baby Blessings)
Tools/Embellishments: Copic Markers, Sharpie fine point pen (brown), Uni-Ball Signo pen (white), ribbon (Offray), twine (Really Reasonable Ribbon), buttons from stash, Cuttlebug embossing folder (Swiss Dot), Spellbinders (Classic Squares Large & Small, Circles Large & Small)

Gorgeous soft card. Thanks for joining us at Cute Card Thursday this week.x
I love your tip, I will remember that! I use a cameo to cut out just about everything (lazy, I know). I can easily cut out my elements from the base since you really only see 1/8 of the edge anyway. Thanks so much for sharing this idea! Great money saver.
Stephanie, it's perfection! Absolutely wonderful baby card with the precious little teddy and butterfly and it utilizes your initials which is perfect for our challenge. The stitching looks terrific and your TIP is fantastic. You're absolutely right, if you can't see it, why not use it some place out where you can!
Thank you so much for playing along with us at Top Tip Tuesday and sharing your talents with us!
