Bear Hugs & Kisses

It is SNEAK PEEK day over at Kraftin' Kimmie's Blog!

This is one of the new stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie's upcoming release this Sunday, July 18th. Since DAT'S is closed on Sunday & Mondays, the new stamps will be available in my store on Tuesday for store opening.

This one is called Goldilocks. The five other stamps in this line are: Cinderella, Rapunzel, Red Riding Hood, Snow White & Swan Princess. All the stamps come with a sentiment or two & an accessory stamp.

I used two-sided patterned papers from Echo Park Paper Co.'s line Sweet Summer Time, Core'dinations Cardstock, Stampin' Up's New Daffodil Delight 1/4" & 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon & Die Cuts with a View brads.

I used Kraftin' Kimmie's Goldilocks Stamp, Holiday Sentiment Stamp Set & Everyday Sentiment Stamp Set. I also used CTMH Hodgepodge Alphabet Stamp Set to make the word "bear".

The Copic Markers I used are: Skin - R00 & R000; Hair - Y17, Y18, Y35 & YR31; Bears - C0, YR04 & Y38; Bows & Dress - R22, C0 & R32; Dress - BG01 & BG72, YG63 & YG05 and R08.

I have submitted this card in the Paper Sundae's Challenge for "Lots of Layers" & Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge for "Pink - Lots of or just a Splash".

Also, I am so excited about Stampin' Up's New Ribbon & Buttons that I have to mention them. I just received my first order of ribbons & buttons from Stampin' Up yesterday and they are gorgeous! The new 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon is to die for. The new colours they added to the 1/4" & 3/8" Grosgrain Ribbon collection are fabulous and the New In Colour Ribbon 1/2" Twill Ribbon is amazing. The twill isn't thick like most twill ribbons are and the texture is so soft.

The new Designer Buttons are a MUST HAVE! I received the Brights Package and the colours are undescribable & the styles are so versatile. It was love at first sight when I received my new catalogue, but now.....I almost don't want to use them because they are sooooo pretty! I just want to sit & stare at them, but I am one of those scrapbookers that believes it will look even better on a project so I will be using them. The 3 other packages of buttons are already ordered and I am working on another ribbon order because I NEED THEM ALL!

Ellena will be placing another order on August 1st, if you can't wait until the Charity Stamping Party in September to put your order in.

Can you feel my excitement!
Enjoy Kraftin' Kimmie's Sneak Peek & Have a Great Day!
