Stamp Crazy with Alison

Card Swap Sunday – Hedgehugs

February 4, 2018 by Alison Solven

4 Feb

It's Card Swap Sunday and the day I share a card I've made or received in a swap.  Today I'm sharing this adorable card I received using the Hedgehugs stamp set.  I love hedgehogs both the animal and the yummy chocolate version from Purdy's.

 The Hedghugs stamp set is available in the Occasions catalogue.  The card today has so many layers which I think adds to the simplicity of the stamps.  I love all the elements and especially love how they are offset a bit from a traditional layout.

The hedgehog is coloured using the Stampin' Blends which allows him to have the shading.  The White Perfect Accents are also coloured with the Stampin' Blends.  Isn't that clever? You can create any colour accent with your Blends!  I think the Linen Thread under the focal image adds just the right "earthy" texture to the card too!

    The hedgehugs are just the best. Great card and the multi layering just pops the card even more.
