Bear Hugs - Beloved




Hello crafters! we're in for a treat this week. The lovely Kylie, has organised an International Blog Highlight with a Love theme inspired project. It's always fun and exciting to take part and showcasing the fabulous new products. Hopefully you'll be inspired by the creative projects on display by so many talented stampers from around the world!

The love theme is perfect for the card I have made. It features the cute and sassy Bear Hugs stamp and die set bundle. It arrived just in time too and I just couldn't wait to use it. The bears in this set are just so adorable with their welcoming open arms, about to give you a hug hehe. It's a playful set and I have incorporated that into the card. It comes complete with a love theme as you can see from the sweet sentiments. You can place the bears accordingly and create a scene to match the selected theme as per the example in the catalogue. The coordinating framelits just makes this set a breeze to use and the creativity is endless.
