To Cheer You

 Confession from a card maker....I'm a hugger. I love giving hugs and receiving hugs from family and friends - I miss them. The pandemic has put a kibosh on that over the last few years so the only hugs I can give are in a card! I love to have cards in my stash to send on a whim or just because. 

For this hug in a card I have used the "Momma's Love" stamp from the "Spring Fever" re-release at High Hopes Rubber Stamps. This Momma looks like she is comforting her little one with a hug so I think it is perfect for a hug in a card don't you?

 After stamping this sweet image on alcohol marker friendly paper I coloured it with Copic markers, cut it out in a rectangle shape and used a corner punch to round the corners and soften the feel of the stamped image. I wanted my card to have a soft feel so I chose some patterned paper from the Flower Market and Spiffy Speckles pads from Lawn Fawn. I chose to keep the design of this A2 size card quite simple so the focus is on the stamp. Some ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.

Hugs To Cheer You

I don't know about you but I think this will be me running to give hugs to all my friends and family when the social distancing is over. 
I miss giving them and I miss receiving them but until I am able to give and receive hugs again I am using the oh so cute "Gonna Getcha" from High Hopes to send a hug in a card to someone on my needs a hug list.
Paired with the "Hugs to Cheer You" sentiment it is a fun hug in a card!

After colouring this cutie with alcohol markers, I hand fussy cut it and ran a black marker around the edge to cover any white edges. Some patterned paper from Lawn Fawn was perfect for the cheery but warm feeling I was looking to give with this card. I cut a pleated lace circle and added some matching paper and a few hearts just for fun. 
Diamond Stickles on the buttons on the overalls gave me the touch of bling I like to add to my cards. Ribbon and enamel dots finish off this 5" x 5" card.
