As soon as I saw this new bundle on page 64 of the Jan - June Mini Catalog, it was instant love! I have to admit I am a sucker for cute sets, and hedgehogs are just the cutest!
Introducing Happy Hedgehogs, a brand-new bundle in the Jan-June Mini catalog. The stamp set is bundled with a punch for easy and super cute card making. Use your favorite coloring tools and the fun phrases to make many playful, friendship card ideas.
Normally I try to purchase and share what YOU would like to see, but this particular purchase was pure selfishness. I decided to create cards that I will love to send to friends and family, and maybe win you over too?
Here's a photo of the stamp set:
And the punch that you can bundle with the set to make your crafting life fussy-cutting free:
My first card design came to mind immediately. I chose a Valentines or love theme, which can also double as a friendship card.
The designer paper comes from the Heart Warming Hugs pack - the perfect design that goes well beyond Christmas.
