can't bear to be without you

Hello! I am back today to share another card that I have listed in my Etsy shop. It is another bear card but I love the bear trend too! And the sentiments are so sweet!

So these 2 bears are from Birdie Brown's Birthday Bears stamp set which is available from My Favorite Things. The sentiments are also from that set. The tree stump and the sentiment on the tree is from Lawn Fawn's Mom & Me set. I was using both stamp sets making some cards when I realized the little bear would be cute sitting on the tree looking at the big bear. And that's how I came up with this card.

I love it when I can mix and match images/sentiments from different companies and stamp sets. I created the background by blending some distress inks. I think I need to invest in more colors but really if you're on a budget you really don't need many colors, just the basics to create a background.

I used a Spellbinder's circle die to make a template for the sun. The images were stamped, colored, fussy cut and glued onto the background.

I have been trying to get back into card making mode but I guess I need something like an impending deadline to get my butt into gear. All I want to do now is take a nap!

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great weekend!

Your card looks so professional. Now I need to get that stamp set...hehehe! I love the background. Besides mixing the two stamp sets...clever, I noticed you made a great shadow under the stump which anchored everything. You have excellent card making skills.

nuts and bolts

Hello! Today I'll be sharing the last amigurumi I made during my crochet frenzy. I haven't been crocheting much recently except for this one little project I'm kind of procrastinating with. I really do love this last one because I think it came out really cute. This is a little crocheted robot designed by Bubblegum Belles . You can find the pattern HERE . Sometimes I purchase the patterns especially if they are really cute. But a lot of designers do list their patterns for free too on their blogs so I always check to see if they have a blog or not. It's also important to read their pattern listing too if you are purchasing to see whether they are for personal use or also for commercial use. Here is a different view of him. Happy that he is able to sit on his bottom. I actually cut out 2 felt hearts using a heart die, blanket stitched them together, and then hot glued the heart to the robot. I tried stitching one h...

Snowman gift card holder

Hi! I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences. It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts. I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one. It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch. The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card. I added this fun card that I stamped. You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks. I hope I can make more of these little guys. These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire throug...

Perfect Paper Crafting & Laura My Mind's Eye Pam Jenny Eva (Me!) Roxie Recently, I saw these layering tags dies and thought I really wanted those. I love the look of layered tags so I used my Perfect Layers rulers to make some with My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting papers. I have a tag die from Papertrey Ink so I used that as my smaller tag. I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...
