Hello,

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you are having a lovely day with your loved ones! It's a quiet one around here which is just what we all need..a chillin' day! We have been so busy that we are all looking forward to watching some movies and I am looking forward to some time to stamp!!

I stuck into my room this morning to create this fun Valentine card for Corrie. I couldn't resist using the new Bear Hugs stamp set and matching Bear Hug framelits. This new bundle is a one that you can use for any occasions from birthdays, to thanks, anniversary and just to say " I Love you."

As I was starting to make this card, I knew that I wanted to use this week's Freshly Made Sketch #223. This fun sketch was created by Amy. I love that this sketch can be used for some many occasions and one that I will be using again in the future!!

So once I gathered my inks, stamps, and paper, I knew that I wanted my card to be a Valentine's card and that the bear would be my main focus!

When I was designed the card, I knew that I wanted to use the Love Blossom Designer Series Paper pack and chose the colours that coordinate with this paper pack: Crumb Cake, Rose Red, Blushing Bride and Whisper White.

The Love Blossom paper pack worked perfect for the stripes behind my circle. My bear was stamped in Crumb Cake and cut out with my Bear Hugs framelits and Big Shot machine. One of my favourite things is when I can stamp an image and die cut it out with a framelit…simple, easy and no fussy cutting!!

I hope that you can play along with this weeks sketch and head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to check out the amazing samples created with this sketch!!

I hope you will visit my Canadian Online Stampin' Up! Store and browse around. You will find the weekly deals here along with huge discount product in the Clearance Rack. Plus you will find all the supplies for this project at the bottom of my post.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

 Happy Stampin'
