Keep Looking Up Winnie The Pooh

by Joanne James26. September 2026 17:00

Since it's the end of the cricket season and the James Junior is officially back at university, I have spent the whole day in my craft room - yippee! - so I'll have lots to share in the coming days. Today I'm sharing my third card of the week featuring Winnie The Pooh that I wanted to share a few days ago, but time to blog escaped me - this one uses the current layout over at Try A Sketch On Tuesday:

I was intrigued by those patterned borders and thought they would make a nice row of honey pots - take a look at what I came up with:

 

 Here's the low-down on today's card:

This card was actually quite simple to make, with the honey pots and the focal image all taken from the Silly Old Bear DSP. The card is larger than usual (A5) because I wanted to use this particular image and sentiment and didn't want my card to be overcrowded, but sometimes it's nice to have a bigger card if you are going to write a letter inside, which I sometimes do. I played around with this for a while as I couldn't get it to feel right; in the end it was the addition of a panel of Peaceful Pine embossed with the 100 Acre Woods embossing folder that gave the card that extra 'something' that it needed:

 

This is why I ultimately discounted it for last week's Paper Players challenge as not sufficiently clean and simple, but still love it and the card is definitely all the better for the embossed section for sure.

Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

 

You can see all of my 'How To' summaries on my 'How To - Tips and Techniques' Pinterest board in case you've missed any. 

Enjoy the rest of your day. I might catch up on my sewing this evening as I continue to watch the live simulation drama called 'Wargame' on Sky TV; I started watching it yesterday and I'm hooked! I'll be back tomorrow with my project for this week's new challenge over at The Paper Players. Until then, happy stampin'!
