My projects today feature the new Fussy Hugs stamp set along with the coordinating creative cuts. So let's start with my 1st card. 

I started by stamping the images on watercolor paper, colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens and cut them out with Fuzzy Hugs Creative Cuts. Next, I die cut the new Winter Forest Cover - Creative Cuts on white card stock. I take the leftover die cut, ink blended with Spun Sugar Distress Ink and stamp the sentiment on it.

For the background, I ink blended with Distress Ink: Spun Sugar, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick and then splatter with water.

And finished my card by added here and there some sparkly clear sequins.

For my second card, I feature the Mercy Script - Creative Cuts from promotional freebie.  Here, I used the Woodgrain Cover - Creative Cuts as my panel card and frame dies from a part of the new Frame Tag - Delancey Creative Cuts.   

This is an easy and simple design, I die cut the heart dies from Favor Bag Accessory - Love - Creative Cuts and use it as a stencil. I used the sentiment from Heartfelt Wishes stamp set to complete my card.

For my last card, I choose the bear images from Fuzzy Hugs and pairing with the Happy Chic Wishes stamp set and Sentiment Flags - Creative Cuts ( these are also from promotional freebie).

FYI, with all my love sentiment is from Sending Hugs stamp set

 

As shown in the picture below, I also stamped the envelope to make it special.  I used the limited edition stamp from promotional freebie named Handcrafted Happiness stamp set.
