I officially declare Bear Hugs Stamp set and coordinating dies as the most adorable current products from Stampin’ Up! and perhaps my favourite. 17 individuals stamps and 9 dies will allow you to create the cutest mother’s day, father’s day, baby, love, friendship, greeting cards ever. I used 7 of them to make the card for the Sketch Challenge # 18 of Global Design Project.

This is 6″ x 2″ cards and I used Stampin Up 12″x12″ kraft card stock to make the card base, whisper white card stock for the inside panel. My new favorite Black Archival ink to stamp all the images. To add color to this card I used Pacific Blue, Melon Mambo, Hello Honey, Cucumber Crushed, Pumpkin pie, Smoky Slate ink colours. To embellish it I used silver metallic thread, black and white twine and Pearl Basic Jewels. All products from Stampin’ Up!
I have made a video to show you who I made this card. I have applied different techniques it such as coloring, layering, die cutting and embossing and I’m also sharing some basic tips during the process of making this card . ( I hope you can understand me. remember I’m spanish speaker and my English and pronunciation is not great)

Oh! after recording the video I decided to add a petticoat underneath mama bear skirt. I used a little piece of printer paper to make it and to add a bit of dimension to that part.
I hope you like this card idea and might be this source of inspiration for you to create your own designs with mama bear, papa bear and baby bear or any of the additionals stamps and dies in “Bear Hugs bundle” by Stampin’ Up!

This is a very cute Father's Day card, Bibi. I will watch yout video to get all your tips and I really love that little heart on the envelope. D x
Such a fun card Bibi – love it! 🙂
I love your card and the video was great!
Bibi, that tool is a PanPastel Sofft Tool, the oval palette knife. You can order as many Sofft covers as you want, they are very inexpensive. Here is an Amazon UK Link: amazon.co.uk/Sofft-Covers-No-3-Oval-pack/dp/B0027A7EDC/ref=sr_1_fkmr3_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1452533614&sr=8-2-fkmr3&keywords=Pan+pastel+Sofft+tools+oval
Oh my gosh! How cute and creative! Way to think outside the box for the challenge sketch!
Bibi, I love your crafting style….. I do the same…. I don't have a fixed plan, and often change my idea half way through! Your video was brilliant!
I also adore this set- I made a card with the Bears wearing wedding out fits….. It's a fantastic set. Thankyou for sharing this card xxx
what a cool card Petra. I just saw it here: tailoredcraftiness.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/occasions-catalog-sneek-peek.html
LOVE LOVE LOVE. thanks for stopping by! x Bibi
LOVE your video and the card, of course Bibi. You made me laugh, as you craft as I do, making it up as you go along! Your Bear is so cute and you are so clever to have the arms fold down for posting!
This card just blows my mind! I adore the idea of the bears arms holding the greeting. I really disliked this stamp set but you have helped to reduce my dislike 🙂 I may even end up buying it.
Just so so clever, the little bear holding the banner is adorable and the petticoat (amazing) a little work of art!
This is a very clever and oh so cute card Bibi … love the whole concept! xx
I love what you did with this card! I would love to share this on my blog for 'My Crafty Friends Monday' (a round up of amazing cards from amazing stampers!)! Please let me know if you would prefer that I didn't share it (of course I give you credit and link back to your blog!).
Inky Hugs!
