Ink. Stamp. Share. January Showcase Blog Hop

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. January Showcase Blog Hop as we start off the New Year with projects we are currently working on. With the new January-June 2022 Mini Catalog and 2022 Sale-a-bration Catalog launching on January 4th, there are so many wonderful new products to create with to help spark your creativity. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their wonderful projects and ideas to help inspire you to get creative for the New Year.

With the start of a New Year, it's the perfect time to create Valentine's Day cards. For my card design today, I paired the new Happy Hedgehogs stamp set from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog with the beautiful Simply Marbleous 6"x6" Designer Series Paper, which is one of the Sale-a-bration Rewards you can earn free with a qualifying $50 order. I love the soft, pretty background the Blushing Bride designer series paper adds to the card design, and the Real Red cardstock and ribbon provide a wonderful contrast.

This sweet Valentine's Day card is simple to create. The cute hedgehog stamp image was stamped onto the Basic White heart with Soft Suede Classic ink and I colored the image with the Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends Combo Pack. I attached the Basic White heart to the center of the Real Red cardstock heart that I die cut with the large heart die from the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder Dies. For the butterfly, I stamped the image onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and colored the wings with the Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends Combo Pack and the body with the Dark So Saffron Stampin' Blends Marker. For a touch of shimmer, I colored the butterfly with Clear Wink of Stella. I fussy cut the butterfly out and attached it to the hearts with two Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. Using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, I attached the hearts to the center of the card front with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. For the sentiment, I stamped the image from the Love & Happiness stamp set, onto the sentiment label with Real Red Classic ink. I added a piece of the Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon around the bottom of the card front and attached the sentiment over the center of the ribbon with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. To complete the card, I attached the card front to the Real Red card base and added Basic Rhinestones for a touch of bling. This sweet Valentine's Day card would be a wonderful way to brighten someone's day.
