Bear Hugs: I Love You This Much!

Here's another sneak peak card from a stamp set called Bear Hugs. This set will be available in January with the release of the 2016 Occasions Catalog. This is the baby bear from the set and it's pretty darned adorable. I heat embossed this cute little bear in Early Espresso and then watercolored him. I love that he looks like he just can't wait to hug you as he shows you how big he loves you! Too cute!

This is a perfect card for me today because my poor son has the stomach flu. He is such a trooper! He has been sick all night and he just doesn't complain. I keep looking at him laying so sick in his bed and I just feel, "I love you this much (SO MUCH!)!" I wish I could take all the yuck away for him. I'm sure I'll have my turn soon enough since the stomach flu is pretty contagious but that's ok. I think he's finally heading in the right direction and I am so glad about that! He deserves lots of bear hugs right now!

What do you think? Is this set on your "must have" list yet? What are some of your favorites? Anything you would like to see more of? If so, let me know! 

Have an awesome day everybody and I hope you are all staying healthy!

New Stamp Sets! Bear Hugs and Sunburst Sayings!

Woohoo! The hour has finally come when the gag order is lifted and we can share some of the info we learned at OnStage with you! I didn't have much time to stamp today...only enough time to quickly make this card. I used two new stamp sets called, Bear Hugs, and Sunburst Sayings! I used the big bear from Bear Hugs in this set...just wait until you see baby bear!

Here's a close up of the bear hug! Guess what?! There are framelits that go with this set too! I had to fussy cut the bear and heart but soon I won't have to (as soon as I can order those framelits!)!

The background stamp (little x's) and the wavy line that I used to ground the bear are both from Sunburst Sayings.

I'll be back soon with more sneak peeks. Since I attended OnStage I am lucky to have the opportunity to order very early-like I placed my preorder today! Yippee! Can't wait to share the goods with you all! 

Let me know what you think of this new set and feel free to ask me any questions!

Bye for now!
