Hello and happy Sunday. I feel like it's been ages since I made a big crafty mess and finished the weekend with a long blog post. Let's get right into it.
First up is this valentine for a friend. Inside, it says Happy Pal-entine's Day. I must admit to making a couple of these, as I am so very fond of the adorable mice in this Secret Admirer set from Waffle Flower. I am entering this card at Just Us Girls #618: Friends, Just add Ink #589: Minimalist, Retro Rubber #175: Love, Love, Love (I have had these stamps for just a couple of years, but I think they are older than that, as I saw them on clearance somewhere recently), and The Paper Players #577: Love and Friendship.
The stamps and dies in my next two cards are from the January 2022 My Monthly Hero kit. I figure I'd better break out that kit now, as the Feb kit will be on it's way to me before I know it. I've actually got several weddings coming up, so this card will be for one of them. All the stamps and dies are from Hero Arts, with the exception of the sentiment, which is a favorite from PTI Propose a Toast.
I am entering this card at Perfectly CAS #23: Flowers, The Flower Challenge #65: Occasions (wedding), WWC334: Occasions (wedding), and Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero: Anything Goes.
Here is another take using the same stamps and dies...I am entering this card at Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge: Inky, Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: With Love, and Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero: Anything Goes.
Last up is a card using Hero Arts Looking Glass dies that I bought and meant to use for my holiday crafting, but actually didn't get around to breaking them open until just now. Well, I am getting a head start on 2022, and I might just send out cards next year. I am entering this card at Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero: Anything Goes, Addicted to Stamps and More #422: Christmas, CAS on Friday #224: Male, Happy Little Stampers Christmas Anything Goes, and CAS Christmas February Challenge: Winter Scene.
Thanks for Visiting

These are delightful! I definitely need more WF mice, and this one is very sweet. I love all the subtle differences in your two HA cards that make them both beautiful, but each unique. And the New Year's card is perfect. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers and Addicted to Stamps and More!
