Hugs

I have this adorable cat stamp from Art Impressions (I couldn't find it so I think it's retired) and wanted to make it for my nephew for Valentines. It has a wobbler action piece. He knows that I just love to HUG him so he will have fun with this card.

Love Ewe

Well this year when I Christmas shopping the last week before Christmas they already had Valentines items in the store and I was surprised. Not that I should be because soon it will be after St. Patrick's Day they will be putting Valentine's stuff out again, lol. And, I'm already working on my Valentine's cards since I send them to my family....usually because I am horrible about getting my Christmas cards mailed out.
For this card, I used the new Stella Says Sketch that starts today at Catch the Bug. My image is Love Ewe.  For my background, I dry embossed it with little hearts from Cuttlebug and then sprayed it with 3 different colors of Glimmer Mist colors so it has a sparkle. On the sides I added some sparkly Washi tape that matched perfectly. Then I fussy cut out the image and had the heart be red instead of pink so it would stand out. If you played the Holiday Critter Chaos please check the site to see if you won some great prizes!
And the 10th Annual Birthday Bash will begin January 11th so a great way to add to your birthday stash and another chance to win some awesome prizes!
