July Stamp of the Month ~ Bear Hugs

The first of July brings us a new Stamp of the Month called Bear Hugs. It's just as adorable and cute as you'd imagine, too! Cute images and lots of fun sentiment will make your crafting easy!

Here is a card using the large image in the set. HINT: When stamping a large solid image like this a good trick is to lay the block with the stamp on the table and pat the ink pad onto the stamp. Make sure to go over it a few times to get coverage of the ink on the image. Another HINT is to put a glue dot under the knot of the ribbon to keep it from sliding around. 

We have a new tool in our bag of tricks, too. It's the Fine Tip Applicator for our Liquid Glass bottle. With this needle like tip you can place dots or lines of Liquid Glass with precision. I used it here to glue the sequins on my card. 

Bear Hugs is the July Stamp of the Month and that means will only be available from July 1st - 31st. You can buy it are full retail price ($18.95 US) or with a qualifying purchase get it for only $5! See the details on my blog.
