Hugs & Kisses (for CC2C)

Welcome to our first 2026 posting of Creating Coast to Coast! Rosanne, from Pennsylvania, took the lead on this month’s theme. I’ll bet you can guess it! ❤️ Of course… Valentine’s Day! Before we get to my Hugs & Kisses card, let’s take a look at Rosanne’s card ~

Gorgeous! I love the cut-out feature! You can see more pictures and read all about her card by clicking HERE to go to her website, Heartfelt Stamping.

If you are new to my blog, Rosanne Mulhern and I take turns collaborating on a theme each month. She lives in Pennsylvania and I’m in California, thus the name “Creating Coast to Coast.” She and I met each other several years ago at a Stampin’ Up! convention and our friendship has held strong ever since. 💕

Now for my card. I pulled out the Endless Love Bundle for this Valentine. The small bit of DSP that I used is also in that Suite. It’s called Made with Love. And then there’s the embossing folder – Hearts of Love 3D. This Suite is heavy on hearts! I ❤️ it!

Here’s my card:

*Note that the Real Red & White Baker’s Twine will be available to order the week of February 9. If you don’t have the old Subtle Embossing Folder but want something similar, the Whispers of Texture 12″x 12″ Specialty Paper would be a good way to get that “subtle” texture on your card front.

Thanks for traveling coast to coast with us today! I hope you are inspired to make some Valentines of your own! If you need any help with ordering or questions in general, please let me know!
