Need a hug? by Marji

I used a lot on this card today and am thrilled with the bright colors and think it turned out really cute.

The back ground is a die cut from MFT, I love the hounds tooth pattern.

The papers are from CTMH and the fabric flowers are from Pinque Peacock.

The bear was colored using my SIL program, I have a lot of fun using my digital stamps in that program.  It takes a lot longer but so worth it for the effect it gives.

Need a Hug?

Need A Hug?

Do you need a hug?  I believe we all do at some time and right now, I sure could use a hug or two -- from my granddaughters!!

Supplies used:

• Digital stamp "Need a Hug?" by Sunsational Stamps
• Swiss dot embossing folder used to emboss the larger mat
• paper designs from my Silhouette Studio "My Library"
• Brads, buttons and baker twine

Measurements for layered pieces

    Main mat: 13cm x 13cm (5x5)in
                       8cm x 5 cm (3x2)in
                       12cm x 4 cm (4 3/4 x 1 1/2) (used 11cm x 6 cm)in
                       3cm x 2cm (1 1/4 x 3/4)in
                       9cm in diameter  (3 1/2 in in diameter)

TIP:  when converting from Metric (centimeters) to Standard just change your measurements in your Studio software under preferences from Auto to CM and than when checking the size of your pieces or changing the sizes, you can just enter the cm numbers and will come up to that size. (unless you know how to do the math!!)

I placed the main mat thru the Sizzix Big Shot and embossed it 2 times since the mat was a bit wider than the embossing folder.  And the little 'gap' between the dots covered by the placement of the mats.

Basically, this card makes a 5x5 (size of base card is approx 5.25 x 10.25).
