If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.
Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.
In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.
This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!

Today's card also features the Beary Cute stamp set & punch. It was available in a bundle but unfortunately the punch has sold out now. But the stamp set is still available.
I used Night of Navy with Mossy Meadow here. I stamped the entire White layer with the background stamp (watch the video with tips on getting even coverage with a background stamp) then cut the circle using the new Deckled Circle dies. I added it to a larger Navy Deckled circle die-cut which covered up the die-cut line from the first circle cut.
The bears were stamped in Balmy Blue ink but in hindsight I'd like them in a dark gray ink on White. The lower strip for the greeting is torn.

I was trying to mask the stamp but it has lots of little pine needles between the tree layers. It wasn't working so I thought, 'why aren't I trimming the stamp?'. I have no problem doing it; it just isn't my first thought. It works like a gem and makes it so much easier to use this pretty stamp set!
Do you cut your stamps apart? I tend to do it with images that have a greeting with it. Or if I like part of a greeting and want to use it separately. Honestly they fit right back together when put onto your block. It just makes sense! I encourage you to try it.
