As you can see from the sentiments that are included in this set, it can be used for many occasions. I stamped the card above with no one particular in mind; I just wanted to have a card ready to send to the next person I hear about who could use a hug!
I changed up the colors for the card below, and I might use it as a Valentine card.
For both of these cards I used the Quilt Top embossing folder, to carry out the "cozy/comfort" theme. This was an item from the Holiday Catalog, which has expired. But this is one of the products that is still available. Embossing folders are a very quick & easy way of adding a nice textured background.
The tip that I am sharing today is one that you are probably already doing, if you are a paper-crafter.
SIMPLE STAMPING TIP #28 - "Fussy-cut" stamped images and mount on your card, to use as the focal point.
So, did you know the term for that is "fussy-cutting"? I first heard someone say it just a few years ago, although I'd been doing it for years, and it struck me as funny! I would probably refer to it as "precision-cutting". Anyway, images don't always have to be stamped directly on to the front of the card. Sometimes you may want to make a bigger impact by fussy-cutting them and then you could make them stand out even more by using dimensional dots, which is what I did on these cards.
