Here’s the delightful stamp set that I’ll be giving away on Sunday, here at Savor the Journey:
“Hearts & Hugs”!
This set is cling-mounted rubber, already trimmed and secure on its own indexed storage panel … completely ready for your stampin’ pleasure!
This one has lots of potential for “other than Valentines” day greetings too … special little brief case surprises, and more, I’m sure.

Do you remember how shiny & yummy homemade cooked chocolate icing can be? Mmmmmmmmmmmm! That’s what I was thinking of with this card. 
The dotted heart reminded me of my dotted embossing folder, and the sentiment itself brought out the chocolate thoughts. So of course, I tried to create the appearance of some yummy sweet goodies with pigment ink and heat embossing. Thankfully, there was no chocolate nearby, so I had no choice but to “resist” indulgence. Whew!
I’ve left the tops of the heart ribbons just a bit off the edge on purpose, as they are folded into hanging “loops”. The sketch is from the CAS blog sketch, themed around the Christmas holidays, but I “needed” these to be sweet “hearts” of course!
I hope you’ve enjoyed this stop along the OCL Blog Hop! The newly released sets that we revealed yesterday will be available soon. The sets you saw on today’s blog hop posts are already available. Here’s where Our Craft Lounge stamps and products are sold.
Thanks so much for your sweet encouragement. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the rest of the blog hop. Remember, winners will be notified on Sunday, so best of luck to each of you!
