My Creative Time Beary Special Blog Hop

Even though its not quite Halloween, Emma has 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 was designed by Emma for this special hop!  Also, joining us for this hop are 5 VERY TALENTED "Guest Designers"!

Check out the Beary Special Stamp Set below:

You can buy this super cute stamp set HERE!

Today's center stair step card uses this super cute stamp set and the new Cricut Lite Teddy Bear Parade cartridge, available at cricut.com and Walmart (store and online).  It measures 5-1/2" x 5-1/2", which is a bit larger than regular but I just loved the stair step display aspect of this card.

It's very easy to make this kind of card - check out Split Coast Stamper's instructions HERE.

Yesterday was Hello Thursday and as usual I am announcing those cartridges AND giving away a fun prize! Now, I know that these cartridges might look familiar. Provo Craft did not make their official announcement though until yesterday. These cartridges are available NOW online and at your local Walmart.

But first, a fantastic giveaway!

Emma from My Creative Time sent me her latest stamp set release to give away and it is FABULOUS!   OVER $100 VALUE!  It's so good that she's sold out of these once already!  Thank you, Emma!
