I created this fun card using the new Hearts & Hugs Bundle to send to my young nephew for his birthday. I created the pile of rocks the hamster is standing on using the little bits of rubber that pop out from inside of the walruses, badgers, and hamster images when you are labeling the stamps with the cling images. Stampin' Up!™ designed the stamps with these pop out bits so you don't have to worry about getting a smear of ink in the center of the images when you ink them up. They make great rock stamps though, so don't just throw them away!

Did you know that Stampin' Up!™ adds two new all-inclusive kits to the Online Store at the beginning of each month? Each kit will provide step-by-step instructions and is all-inclusive, pre-cut, and ready to use. Kits are great for those who have time and/or space limitations, don’t want to collect crafting supplies, or don't think they are creative. They are designed with new crafters in mind to give them a fun, easy experience, but anyone can enjoy the kits. Kits are a one-time order, not a subscription!
Stampin' Up!™ gave those of us who attended OnStage in March the new Hooray For Honeycomb Kit as a prize patrol. I put together the cards the other day.
I did play with the orientation of the card while making the berry cards. I also have a tip for you. If you want to mail the berry card, then don't completely attach the strawberry honeycomb to the front of the card. Only attach half of it and leave the protective backing in place on the other side. Add a note for the person you are sending it to telling them to remove the protective backing and adhere the other side of the honeycomb piece to get the full effect.
You can see all the kits currently available and order them by going to my online store by clicking here.
You can place an online order for these kits by clicking on the link above. This will take you directly to my online store! Please use Host Code 74GJ4WQV when you place your order. Or, contact me at michelerey@aol.com to place an order through me. Just remember that kits could sell out before the order can be placed. Thanks.
