Hi All!
UPDATE: Sorry if you tried to view the video earlier and it asked you to login. Apparently one of my settings was wrong for this particular video. You should never have to join or login anywhere (other than LiveLoveCards) to see the video. I’m really sorry for the inconvenience. Everything should be back to normal now.
I love this new set by Simon Says Stamp called Bear Necessities, which comes with matching dies. It’s part of their Create Joy line, which was released yesterday. I like this particular set because it can cover a lot of occasions. It has a holiday sentiment, of course winter!, Father’s Day (it’s what I thought of with the chef hat and apron), love, or in my case… get well. I also like it because it’s a front-and-back set – those are always so fun.
When I’m sick, the first thing I want to do is get my jamz on. 🙂 I made this card for Rebecca, who has had a hard week and needs a little pick-me-up. I see her wearing her jamz in a lot of photos, so I thought she would enjoy it.
I’m not sure you can tell from the photo, but the bear is on a window sheet so that I could put the front and the back on. Here is a close-up of the window:
And here is the inside of the card:
Enjoy the video and have a wonderful weekend!

OMGoodness…This is adorable! Absolutely LOVE it! I just ordered this set this morning and now I will be biting my nails until I get it. Thanks for the cool front/back idea, and the quilted background is probably make it’s way onto a card or two, also.

Super super cute card. I love the window of the bear. SSS to me is pricing themselves out of the market. But like some of their stuff but will move on to another company. Thanks Darlene

Hi Darlene! Back now from Italy and looking forward to getting into cardmaking again after a month’s break! Love this window card. It’s so cute and you can use it with any double sided stamp set too. But the bear is super adorable!

I think you need to see if you can add a “thumbs up” button for your videos. 🙂

Darlene, I love this. My sister has a birthday next week and I’ve been looking for a special idea since sisters are special people. Thank you
