Hopping in for the February 2019 Pals Blog Hop

I think these frogs in the Sale-A-Bration brochure are adorable, and what a fun image to put on my grandsons’ valentine card! They are part of the So Hoppy Together Cling Stamp Set.

Yes, you are seeing double! This frog is just one stamp, but with the help of the Stamparatus and a Silicone Craft Sheet, I was able to do a mirror image stamp of him! I used my Stampin’ Blends to color them. Then I created a little ground for them to stand on with a stamp from Waterfront. Their glasses are shiny and textural with a blob of Fine-Tip Glue Pen in each.

They are offering a frilly valentine, stamped in Poppy Parade from Meant To Be then cropped with the Be Mine Framelits. (I liked how the tomato-red looked with their orange eyes!)

Layered with Texture:

The Corrugated Embossing Folder, Be Mine open hearts thinlit, and Stitched Shapes oval sentiment piece raised up with Dimensionals give a rich, layered look.

This envelope was fun! I added a 1/2″ strip of Poppy Parade to the top of the envelope flap. Then I glued down a 1″ piece of Brights 6″ x 6″ DSP in Poppy. Finally I added a 3/4″ strip of handmade designer paper. I made it with a variety of heart stamps and some foliage stamps using Poppy Parade and Pear Pizzazz inks onto Whisper White card stock.
