Valentine Patchy Bear and MORE

 Hello my special friends!

Today I'm poppin in with three Very special Valentine cards to share with you.

The first one up is this Adorable Valentine Patchy Bear. Don't you just want to Hug him?

He was so fun to make and really easy to assemble and ink.

This little darling comes from Paper piecing by Nikki.

If you sign up for her newsletter, she will send you  Free files.

He was a Free file a few days ago!

I created the cutout "Sweetie Pie" and would Love to share it with you. I only have the Scut file. It comes with a shadow background but I didn't use it on the bear. 

If you would like this Scut file, please click on the typewriter on the top right of my blog and  put in "Valentine SweetiePie" and I will send it to you.

Enjoy!

After I posted him I was thinking that he would have looked nice with a dotted cutout border. Since I had already glued the gems down, I could only add a cutout strip to the bottom. Next time I may use my Martha Stewart fringe punch all around the card base to give it that finished touch. I knew it needed something.... lol

 This is one of the envelopes that I Made using We R Memory Envelope Punch board!!

Read all about it below!

I used Unity stamps on the inside of the Patchy Bear card. 

The dotted heart is one stamp.

 I love Unity stamps!

The Smile is a itty bitty stamp.

The nobody Sweeter is one stamp. 

I grabbed these stamps in the Grab bag sale that they had a few weeks ago.

I Love them All!

This is the second card that I made.

I just LOVE this card!

It's so Springieee ...is that a word? LOL

I embossed the white base card with the Sizzix dots and ran it though my BigShot.

This was a Free cutting file awhile ago from Wanda's crafts.

This is how the heart cutouts look when it's open. 

This file cuts just like butter with my Sizzix Eclips 

 machine.

This is the inside of the card, I glued gems and metal silver hearts. When the card

 is closed the gems show through.

The XOXO sentiment is another one of my creations and I will be sharing it soon.

I stamped this beautiful bird design that I've had for a Long time. Actually they were my mom's and I had forgotten about them and happen to find them as I was going through some things. I wasn't into stamping back then,but now I Love Stamps! 

I was soooo happy!

The envelope was made with the "We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board".

Yep....I GOT THE LAST ONE! 

Yes, I know they showcased them at CHA recently. 

 I was LUCKY to snag one from scrapbook.com

This is another pretty card that I made.

It's a really fun and simple card. I embossed the base card with little squares. See closeup picture below. I added a flower ribbon some glossy accents on the heart and made a beautiful envelope to match.

 I need your help again!

I received this Free file in my email awhile ago and now I can't find it.

Thanks for your help!
