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.
