Handmade Healing with Hugs & Healing

 

Published by Katrina's Kreative Heart

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!).

Quick n Simple featuring Stampin' Up!'s Friendly Gnomes stamp set

 Hello again friends. Yes, another long hiatus due to lack of time. Being a full time RN Infection Preventionist in a nursing home takes up a LOT of time for sure. But, I still make time to get crafty...I just have to sometimes prioritize where I share that craftiness and since Facebook is where most of my peeps hang out, that is where I prioritize my content. I hope that makes sense. So, if you follow me here and notice I fall off the grid, know that I want to be here but time can only be stretched so much but you can always find me on Facebook!

So, today I have a fun, quick n simple card to share with you featuring the Stampin' Up! stamp set, Friendly Gnomes. This card just screams Spring. I think winter has us all longing for the longer, warmer days of Spring. The Brushed Brass Butterflies really brought home the Spring feel of this card. So how about you? Are you ready and waiting for Spring?

Stampin' Blends and the Wondrous Rose Stamp Set

Hello and Happy Tuesday! Well it's back to grind around here, yesterday I returned to my full-time "real" job after being away for a week. So, it's time to knuckle down and get back to business I guess. Lucky hubby has another day after today before he heads back then it will really be back to normal around here. But, I did squeeze in some crafting time over the weekend and today I want to share with you a card I made using my new Stampin' Blends.

Yes, these new alcohol markers are UH-MAZING! I am totally in love with them and the good news is, they are available to customers beginning tomorrow, November 1st!

And I am starting a Stampin' Blends Club to make it easier for you to get your hands on them, because YOU MUST get your hands on them!

This is a 5 month club and pricing includes shipping directly to you, so, if you are a local customer and would like to pass on the shipping, just let me know and we can arrange for pick up/delivery and subtract $7.20 for the flat rate shipping cost from the total. Below is the flyer explaining the details. I truly hope you will join me in the club because I know you will love them just as much as I do!
