JOS Blog Hop February 2020 Love Is In The Air

Welcome to February's Blog Hop with the Joy Of Sets.  The theme for this month is "Love Is In The Air".

In the UK we don't really celebrate Valentine's Day unless we are in  couple where we might make a card for the other half. However 14th February, Valentine's Day, is very special for me as it is my grandson's birthday. Reuben Valentine was born on Valentine's Day and will be 7 years old.  He is a wonderful little lad, full of fun and laughter and as all of my grandchildren are, is very dear to me.

So my blog hop card uses a stamp set called Special Someone and with 23 stamps for £16 I think is great value.

This is my "Love is in the Air" card. I used the Stamparatus positioning tool to get the hearts and mice in a circle on the 5" x 5" piece of cardstock.  This is a two step stamp so I was able to fill in the hearts and the mice to give a little colour.  Added a sentiment and some ribbon and it is a fun card with a "love" feel.

While I had this set out I made my grandson his birthday card
There is a coordinating die set with this stamp set and so was able to cut out some grass and the little string for the balloons. The sentiment was popped into a word bubble, one of the dies included in this set.

So now that I've shown you my ideas why don't you have a look at all the great inspiration from the other hoppers.

      Thanks Susan. Stamparatus does make it easier to line up, although not all perfect, but it was fun to do x

    Such a lovely card Jane - that mouse is super cute and such great positioning. It's a shame we don't send valentines more widely as it was great fun in the US to send to not just sweethearts. Thanks for being part of the hop again. x

    Thanks Fiona. I must admit I do like this little mouse, but to stamp so many the Stamparatus did help x

    Both of your cards are so fun, Jane! I was just talking to a friend yesterday about that technique of stamping in a circle and after seeing your adorable card, I'm inspired to try it. Happy birthday to your grandson, too. I'm sure he is going to love his card!
