Love You Bunches!


Hi everyone! Happy Saturday!! Being it's the first Saturday of the month, we have a brand new SFYTT sketch for you! Check out the February SFYTT!


Isn't it an amazing sketch? I LOVE this sketch and plan on using it ALOT in the future!

This month, SFYTT is sponsored by the fabulous Anita Be Stampin. What FABULOUS stamps!!

I had the pleasure of working with the brand new Bears & Bunches set. Anita Be Stampin stamps are cling mounted rubber stamps that are already trimmed, and let me tell you, these stamps stamp like a DREAM! High quality and PERFECT impressions...gotta love that!



I stamped this DARLING bear in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X Press It Blending Card and then cut him out and embossed him with Circle Nestabilities, while keeping the flowers "out of the box". I sponged the edges with Memento Cantaloupe & Memento Tangelo and colored the entire image with Copic Markers.

The patterned paper is all from Hopscotch by Basic Grey and I added TONS of machine stitching and a border using the Die-Namics Little Open Scallop Strip Die from My Favorite Things. My lemon bow was created with The Bow Easy and I added a pretty Prima rose that I had in my stash (and completely forgot about) right on top of the bow. The sentiment, "Love You Bunches" was stamped directly onto the horizontal panel.


Check out what my super talented SFYTT sisters have done with this sketch, and to see more samples using Anita Be Stampin stamps, right here:

    sweet card! that bear is adorable! can you tell me how you get the flowers to extend beyond the circle die-cut? did you paper piece the flowers on top of the circle? I'm totally perplexed by how you get that look, but I love it!

    Jodi this bear is adorable. How did you cut him out of the box? I am not sure what you mean. That is amazing. Also I am on a team and we need a sketch. Do you do those in Photo shop? I have so much to learn.
    I love your blog.
    Hug,
