Beary Special Blog Hop ~ Episode 401

 GOOD MORNING my creative friends! 

Even though its not quite Halloween, I have decided to give you all a "Beary Special Treat"! This doesn't cause weight gain but will cause CUTENESS OVERLOAD! Included in this hop, you will see a "Beary Special" stamp set that I designed for this special hop!  Also, joining us for this hop are 5 VERY TALENTED "Guest Designers"!  

With that said, can I just say that I am OVER THE MOON EXCITED that today is FINALLY here!!! YAHOO!;) With all of the teddy bear inspiration EVERYWHERE, I thought it would be a GOOD idea to design a set that focused on Teddy bears!  Hey, why not...right?? I just have to say that this is my FAVORITE set by far to date!  In this set you will find 2 cute teddy bears along w/18 FUN sentiments! 

For my 1st card, all of the images & sentiment are from this set! (my glossy accents on the eyes were still wet) I added all embellishments from Liz's Paper Loft boutique along w/paper from Echo park ~"So happy together", added some stitching that made a PERFECT card!;)

 Here is a Christmas tag I made using my newest "Just Tags" die along w/embellishments from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique! This little cutie bear is the 2nd image that is included in this new stamp set! The sticker hat (jolee's boutique) & the bell are from Joann's! That sentiment is one of my faves from "Mixed Holiday Sentiments" which MANY of you have already! I know because I CANNOT keep this set on the shelves! lol.... I used copic markers to color in my teddy bears! You can see in my video below exactly how I colored them!;)

I just LOVE how this turned out! On the back, I stamped the To: & From: that is included w/the "Just Tags" die set! I CANNOT wait to start mass producing my tags this year!!!;)

I am SO IN LOVE w/my next Baby Tag!!! Again, these are my newest "Just Tags" die set that I used again here! I thought this sentiment was PERFECT since alot of us call our kids "Baby Bears", which came from us "Mama Bears"! lol.... hehehehe!

Embellishments again are from Liz's Paper Loft boutique (my FAVORITE boutique ever!) The button is from Papertrey Ink. OH, I forgot that I did add a little stickles to the adorable patch on his body!

OMG! Last, but certainly not least! Here is another tag I made using my "Tag Dies", which I just CAN'T get enough of and I got to use my brand new "Teddy Bear Parade" cartridge! HOW PERFECT is this cartridge to use my new stamps with?? This cartridge has the CUTEST CUTEST bears ever on here! I used the blackout feature to cut out my bear at 3 inches! The reason I used the blackout feature is because I was DYING to use my Peachy Keen's "Tear Bear Face Parts". What a PERFECT face stamp set (in my opinion) for this cartridge! I just want to hug all of my teddy bears today!;)  

The ribbon is from May Arts, hemp twine & the cute little white rose in her hair are from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique! I thought this sentiment was PERFECT for her AND I was so happy to see that this sentiment fit PERFECTLY onto my "Oval Stitched Die"! 

Here is my video showing how I color in my new teddy bears from "Beary Special Thoughts"!

Now, introducing my NEW "FAVORITE set EVER" that was created especially for this FUN hop!
