STAMPlorations April Blog Hop Day 4


Hi All,
Welcome to Day 4 of the STAMPlorations April Stamp Release Blog Hop. Today we are introducing you to the HEAVEN SENT set, a set of 3 images and 14 sentiment elements.

HeavenSent-preview

I combined one of the images with a sentiment from the Fond Expressions set featured on Day 1 of our blog hop to make today's cuddly card.


Did you know that hugs can boost your immune system??? I knew they could make you feel good, and, according to this article here, there is even scientific proof of it. Well, I must say, I do like sending imaginary hugs by card ... and this cute little teddy bear fits the bill perfectly. I simply stamped and coloured him, added a stitched die cut border, layered on a piece of pretty paper already embossed with my sentiment and on my kraft base card before finishing off with a couple of sequins.

As with every blog hop, check out the fabulous projects my Teamies have created and please leave a comment on all our blogs for your chance to win one of our fabulous prizes. You don't have to, but it certainly increases your chance of winning. You can find all the links here, just as a reminder these are the stops for day 4:

    Love the way you restricted the dp to the bottom third, it just focuses the eye on that gorgeous teddy. :)
