Hearts & Hugs - Sending A Big Hug

Hello stampers,

I hope wherever you are it will be a cool day! For the next few days, we'll be experiencing triple digits, UGH! 

Today's card was inspired by the recent Freshly Made Sketch #638. I used the adorable Hearts & Hugs Bundle to stamp what I think is a hamster using Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, then colored with Crumb Cake, Petal Pink & the Light Stampin' Blends Combo Packs before die-cutting the image. Next, I used the Stitched Shapes Dies to die-cut the circle & square from last year's Regals DSP & Crumb Cake Cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the set using Real Red Ink on Basic White Cardstock, then layered it on top of Real Red Cardstock which was popped up using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals when it was added to the card. I wanted a little texture behind the focal point, so I used the retired Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder with Basic White Cardstock, then added it to a Basic White Cardstock base.
