If you’ve ever wished you could send a warm hug through the mail, Hugs & Healing is the stamp set for you!
In this week’s Live, I had so much fun sharing three sweet cards made with this charming online exclusive stamp set from Stampin’ Up! This set is full of adorable imagery—snuggly pets, ice packs, slings, and all—with sentiments perfect for sending comfort and care.
🐾 Card #1: Accordion Z-Fold with the Pup 
We kicked things off with a simple but striking accordion Z-fold card. I featured the sad little pup with the ice pack on his head and a thermometer in his mouth—so pitiful and adorable, right? Paired with paw prints and a “Hope You Feel Better Soon” sentiment, this fun fold really stands out on a desk or countertop.
Tip: The card base is 5½" x 11", scored at 1¾", 3½", 5¼", and 7". Designer Series Paper strips were cut to 1½" x 5¼", and we used a 3" x 6" piece scored at 3" for the front panel.
🐱 Card #2: Kitty with a Sling 
Next up, we showed our cat lovers some love with a card featuring a precious little kitty with her arm in a sling. I kept the coloring simple using Stampin’ Blends in Lost Lagoon and Crumb Cake. The frame from the Sentimental Framing dies added beautiful texture, and those holographic resin dots finished it off with just the right sparkle.
🐶🐱 Card #3: Puppy + Kitty Snuggle 
For our final card, we paired the pup and kitty in one heart-melting scene. With a fun, offset layout and layers of texture from the Spotlight on Nature and Framed Florets dies, this card came together so easily. I even pulled out my Color Lifter to soften the Calypso Coral coloring on the kitty (channeling my grandma’s old calico cat!).
