Hugs and Gifts - The Stamp Market

Hello Lovelies!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
I hope you've had a wonderful day so far and that you're enjoying the festivities with ones you love, good food and lots of laughter and joy. 

I'm so excited to share a little duo I just whipped up. It's part Valentine's, part Christmas, and totally fun to make. It's a teensy somber time of year, to say goodbye to Christmas in the craftroom, but it does feel like this a pretty good transition :)


I started off this duo with one of my favorite cards of the year! I'm not sure what it is about this little number (although, I think it may have something to do with that pretty peony), but it makes me smile.


It's a super simple design, yet so perfect for heaps of occasions. 
I started off with a white base, stamping a sentiment along the bottom and adding a bit of peachy cardstock. Atop that, I added holly leaves and berries, and some little hearts. 


It felt super cute as it was, but for something a little extra special, I added in one of the Small Peonies and it took this card from cute to SUPER cute! 


I also added a hugs die-cut, and some Nuvo drops to finish things off. 


Can we just pause for a moment and admire this little mailbox? And can we perhaps give it the best-die-of-the-year award? It's such a cute, CUTE die, and I've loved using it! I also think it's back in stock now, so if you didn't catch it the first time, you can find it here.


To dress my little post box, I used the holly and berry bits which come as part of the set, and I added a little stenciled accent to the top. I finished things off with a sentiment tuck and a hugs die-cut.


What a fun switch up on a traditional card! I'm not putting this one away anytime soon ;)

Wishing you all the Merriest Christmas and all the joy of the Season. Much love!
