HAPPY HANDY HIPPO DAY - WEEK 19

Hi Everyone

Happy Handy Hippo day!!!

I don't think anyone is going to struggle in finding the heart on my card this week LOL!!

With Valentine's Day just around the corner I thought it would be nice to share a couple of Valentine makes .. .. one this week (the cute type) and one next week which is something "a bit different for me".

But this week uses one of the brand new Penny Black stamps .. .. which of course I love to pieces!!!  I think these little hedgies are so lovely and super easy to colour.




Below you can find the Handy Hippo magic button .. .. and if you click on it you can see all the lovely goodies I used to make this little project.  Everything I have used has been automatically added to a shopping basket and as always you can remove anything you do not need (or add anything else you can't resist). 



I could sit and colour these lovely Penny Black images for ever!!  There are lots more Penny Black stamps that you will see here.. .. including other brand spanking new ones.  Not necessarily for valentines either.  Some will do for any occasion .. .. a bit like this one really.  I will be using this image for lots of different types of cards that's for sure. 

A few people have been asking me here on my blog, and by email, about different ways I use ribbon on cards so I thought next week I would do a little session on this .. .. including ways to use up the scrappy little bits that get leftover.

Have a lovely week everyone.

I hope the weather is kind to you.  It is certainly sounding like a mixed bag for my neck of the woods!!

Love



 and all the lovely friendly people at Handy Hippo
