Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Happy & Joyful Release Blog Hop.
My project featuring the Layering Alphas Stencil Set. I used several shades of Pawsitively Saturated Inks for the color. I stamped a coordinating sentiment in black from the Missing You Stamp Set. For the card base I stamped the Soft Plaid Background Cling using Versamark ink onto Fog cardstock.
Here is a video showing how I created this card.
GIVEAWAY!
Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop. Winners will be posted on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday, the 27th of April.

April 22, 2022 at 7:33 amAwesome! Thanks for starting my day off with some happy inspiration. Hugs right back to you. Don’t be too hard on Hank… our dog Molly is a fiend on moles…. just can’t help herself. Once in a while she actually catches one. Only about a zillion more to go….

April 22, 2022 at 8:55 amHi, Laura –
This alpha set is not for me, but you made a sweet card w/ it. Thanks for the Hank update. You can buy mole & vole bait but it might be dangerous to do that if there is any chance that Hank will end up ingesting it.
Have a great weekend.
