For today’s Simple Saturday post, I’m sharing the details of this adorable Bear Hugs Card. It was created in just minutes with the Bear Hugs stamp set and coordinating Bear Hugs dies from the Stampin’ Up! 2016 Occasions Catalog. These products and any additional sneak peeks will be available to purchase on Tuesday, Jan. 5, when the Occasions Catalog begins.
JUST 3 MORE DAYS until the Occasions Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration promotion begin. If you need these catalogs and plan to place your next order through me, you may request them FREE here.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Sneak Peek! The sweet bear and “love you” heart have a modern, illustrated look to them, perfect for love messages and valentines for all ages!
- They get even better (and easier) when cropped with the coordinating Bear Hugs Dies. Save 15% when you purchase the stamps and dies as a bundle.
- See how his arms curve out to give you a hug! I love that!
- Sneak Peek! The large banner was cropped using a die from the Banners Framelits Dies and a piece of Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper (available Jan. 5).
- My Big Shot and Magnetic Platform were the taskmasters for cutting and keeping the Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper lined up.
- Gotta have it! I love the Stampin’ Up! Thick Whisper White Card Stock for card bases. It was on the list of My Favorite Things in the annual catalog.

Happy to help! Glad you spotted it, Alyece.
Thanks so much for responding. A BIG bear hug to you
Big bear hugs right back at you, Alyece! The card measures 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. The flagged banner was cropped with the Banners dies. It measures approx. 4 1/4″ (to the tip) x 2 1/4″.
Forgot to say I wanted to make one for each of my stampin group that Gets together this weekend. Thanks so much
Just looked at this card….really like ….could you send me the the measurements of the card? Thanks so much Alyece

Hi, I don’t do stamping up, my question is can you sell me a few of the valentine bears? Thanks!

Thanks for your sweet comments. Kadie, love the idea to tuck it in with my daughter, Caroline’s, things when she returns to college after break.
I’m a little late but I must say this card is adorable. Love this big, furry bear and the little one is just as cute. All the accessories really compliment this images.
I absolutely fell in love with this set from the minute I saw it in the catalog! I can’t wait to get my hands on it. I love it!!! Thanks for the idea and I hope you post more with this set.
I’m sure a couple of these are getting tucked inside Caroline’s bags when she goes back to school. DARLING CARD my friend.
