Valentine Bear

Happy Valentine's Day :) 

It's Friends with Flair day over at Unity. So I just had to make another Valentine card :) This little bear is actually a Christmas stamp.  However I have used him previously for a Birthday card and now a Valentine card. I like seasonal stamps that you can  use throughout the year.  You can find him here Christmas Teddy. The sentiment is from I Love You Tons stamp set.  I stamped the words several times, then used my heart punch and punched them out individually.  The heart background paper is from the paper studio.  I paper pieced the little present with the same paper. I finished the card off with some rhinestone hearts :)

Bear in a Bauble

 I stopped into to Michaels Craft store after work today and got some good Black Friday deals :) I picked up this plastic bauble for 50c as I wanted to try making a Christmas tree decoration with it using my stamps.  It comes in 2 halves so all you need to do is insert you image and close it over and add some ribbon super easy :)

It just so happened this little bear fit perfect into the ornament you can find here at Unity. I had already coloured lots of them earlier this week. So all did was draw around the bauble to get the size and cut it out a just a wee bit smaller so it would fit inside. It turned out better than I thought it would. So I am going to make a bunch more and personalize them with names of the people who will be receiving them for Christmas.

               How cute does he look I am sure he will look great hanging from the Christmas Tree :) 

Here is another one I made using the A friend loveth Stamp set from Unity. I stamped 2 large butterflies I covered them in purple glitter embossing powder  and heat set them. Then  I cut them out and glued them back to back in between filament wire to make it float in the bauble  :)

Little Bear

I have been working on lots of cards for my upcoming craft fair. I love this little bear I made him into a Birthday bear as well as the Christmas one that he came as :)  Why just have him around for Christmas when you can have him out all year long right?  You can find him here over at Unity Stamp Company.  The Birthday sentiment is also a unity stamp you can find that here. I used Darice embossing folders to create the backgrounds and the coloured card is from Bazzill.

Thanks for visiting :)
