Sharing this adorable Bear stamp from Hetty Clare today. Don't you love him? I think he's just perfect for February. I added a sentiment from the Paper Loft, "Happiness blooms from within." I added some gorgeous Turkish lace to go on the card. This piece I bought as a remnant, I couldn't ever find it as a whole package, I totally wish I had gotten more of it.
QUESTION OF THE DAY: Do you use die/stamp combos? i.e. those stamp and die sets where you stamp the image and then line up the die to cut out the stamped image? (eliminating fussy cutting).

Another beautiful card and lace. That's how I use the step and the die together.
Awwww, so lovable this sweet bear!
Yes, I have a few stamps and dies combos, I love them!
The sentiment is such a good one, and your bear is precious! Gorgeous lace as well! I do use stamp and die combos when I have them, but I am one who enjoys fussy-cutting so I don't seek out coordinating dies for my stamps. Thanks again, and enjoy your weekend!
That is a wonderful sentiment. The bear reminds me of my great niece who just learned to blow kisses! Lovely lace, I can see why you wanted to get more of it. I do use stamp and die combos when I have them. But I don't mind fussy cutting. I think it's relaxing for some reason :)
Holley - wonderful card. Please tell us what adhesive you use to attach the lace! Matching stamps and dies are my absolute favorite! There are so many cute sets out there!!!
Such a cute image and card Holley! I do love using stamp and die combos because I hate fussy cutting.
Love the wonky sentiment on your adorable card! And yes, I use stamp/die combos (I also do fussy cutting as I can't always afford the die set, too!).
Where do you get all your beautiful lace! I LOVE your cards with it!
I don't use stamp and die combos because I am lucky enough to have a Brother Scan N Cut to help me avoid fussy cutting :)
I bear is a fabulous February image. Hopefully you'll find this lace again this summer. I do use stamp and die combos but also have a scan n cut if I don't have the dies.
I have quite a few Of the die/stamp sets. I do enjoy them. Such a cute bear and more lovely lace!!
Adorable! That lace is absolutely gorgeous, love how it plays with the sweet bear. I do use a lot of stamp/die combinations.
You are such a terrific trooper!! Love that lace and all laces as well!! Am way behind in posting due to extra work and CE courses on top!! Am just now catching up on all my life's priorities! Love Hetty's card too!
Answer: Love having both stamp and die but not a must have. Love fussy cutting and if it becomes too much then I get the die for it.
Cute bear image. This so lovely card.I like to use those stamp and die combinations. Last year I won you a wonderful lovely cat stamp and die set. Thanks again for being one of my dearest.

That sentiment couldn't be more true and what a pretty card. Yes, I sometimes use stamp and die combinations to save myself from trying to fussy cut. My hands don't handle all that intricate cutting anymore.
So wonderful!

Sweet card and I never use those stamps....XX
😍😍😍 that card! I definitely use dies with stamps cause I don't fussy cut very good.
what an adorable bear. Love how this card turned out. :)
Yes, I do use dies that come with stamps, but I don't mind doing the fussy cutting either.
This is such an adorable image. Love it. I don't like fussy cuting. I rather use dies.
That bear is darling but I absolutely love the stunning lace you used! I do like to use stamp and Die sets . Since my accident I shake a lot and do not have a lot of strength in my hands so it is really hard to fussy cut. The dies really help me a lot.
Cute card, I like using Hetty Clare images! I use die/stamp combos.
Super cute card and beautiful lace trim!! I love stamp and die combos...and I also love stamps and dies that are stand alone. it's all fun!
Wow, this bear is so very cute. This card is simply amazing.
Yes, I just love to use die/stamp combos. It's so useful.

That lace is amazing!
I have a couple of stamp/die sets. I love them!
Oooh, so cute and this lace....
Yes, I use combos but I also fussy cut.
Cute bear. Do not use very much of Die/Stamp combos.
Super cute card....I love to use stamp & die set...
SUCH a cute card!! Like everyone else I LOVE the lace!!
I use stamp-and-die combos but only to a point. I don't like them if there's a white border around the stamped image, so I either buy sentiments (where I want the border so the words stand out) or Stamps of Life because they give you the die that lines up exactly AND the shadow!
Gorgeous card. Cute bear and wow that white lace is so pretty. I do have some stamp/die combos but if it's a choice between matching dies or a totally different stamp set I'd spend my money on more stamps, or stand alone dies. A matching die is a really expensive way to cut out an image, unless you want a lot of the same cuts, and quite honestly, I rarely do. I don't usually like the border the dies leave and I love fussy cutting. But I don't have anything against them if they are included with a set I really want. Hugz
I would use the combos if I had them, lol. I love that lace too! Beautiful coloring, as usual.
