Hi! I’m Sara Levin theartfulinker an independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in the United States. Welcome to my blog. Today, I’m sharing a couple of cards using the Joyful Life bear on a bicycle. I think you’ll enjoy these two variations and the accompanying video tutorial so that you can make your own!
Joyful Life Stamp SEt

The animal images in the Joyful Life stamp set are so cute! And, they’re perfect for coloring. I see this as a three season set that can be used as the weather begins to cool, right through Winter and into early Spring.
Joyful Life Bear on a Bicycle Cards
Variation 1

For this card, I stamped the cute bear and his bunny pal on the bicycle. Then, I colored them with Stampin’ Blends. Once colored, I then blended on a background.
To finish, I layered the colored panel on a layer of Merry Merlot and a Crumb Cake card base.
Variation 2

And for this second Joyful Life card, I’ve changed the idea up just a little to show how you can make small changes can create a whole new card. To colorize the card, I again use Stampin’ Blends and Blending Brushes.
After die cutting the central image, I added it to a layer of Beauty of the Earth Designer Paper. Then, I used the same Merry Merlot and Crumb Cake to complete the card.
