Ellen Hutson's World Card Making Day Release is available NOW and the Brand Ambassadors are celebrating with an Instagram Hop to bring you inspiration using these fabulous new products! While appreciated, comments left here are not eligible for one of three $25 gift certificates. Please head to Instagram for all the details! 

I featured the entire release on my trio of cards featuring the cutest bear in the Essentials by Ellen collection! If you're a fan of the Bear Ware sets, then you'll definitely want to add this new Grand Tour set to your stash. I love travelling, miss it, and these new sets are perfect for me!

I just love all the adorable travel accessories included in Grand Tour, especially the passport and baguette! I decided to heat emboss the images on coloured cardstock to keep things simple and consistent when presenting the set.  You can find all of the Bazzill colours, Sizzix gold and Memory Box woodgrain listed in the supply list below.

I used all of the same colours on every card but in different areas and proportions. I created scenes for France, Italy and England! Of course, this Grand Tour bear and all his accessories can be used with all of the other Bear Ware sets and more.

The Merci and Cheers cards use the A World of Thanks sentiment set but the Italian card needed a larger Ciao sentiment so I used the Letterboard Large Alpha to create that sentiment. Then I added smaller Ciao stamps to add more cheer.

I added a few extras from previously-release Bear Ware sets, including the coffee mug from Bear Ware 3, the cat from Bear Ware 2, and the flower from Bear Ware. I also added googly eyes to the bears to give them extra personality.

I added extra texture to the land masses on the Cheers card using the A2 Piercing Plate 2. I added bits of gold on every card in various elements to tie them all together. These little scenes were so much fun to assemble!
