Shaped Valentine Cards

I recently purchased this adorable hedgehog/mushroom digi stamp from Polkadoodles with the idea of using it to create Valentine cards.  I used my Silhouette Design Studio software to create an offset of the digi after sizing it up to a size that would work for an A2 envelope. After creating the offset, I copied the offset twice and then welded the two copies together on the side.  I added a score line in the middle and had my card base made. Then I added some sentiments and designs to the inside and did a print and cut of the base. I did a print and cut of the mushroom/hedgehog/bird digi stamp and glued it to the front of the card base. Then I stamped the envelope with a Valentine-themed design (the sentiment and the heart on the left are from SU!'s Share A Milkshake bundle). Now that I've saved the design, I'll be able to print and cut a batch of these for my Bible Study Fellowship students to give them the week of Valentine's Day.

As You Like It Challenge: Favorite paper brand and why: I love to use Neenah Bright White cardstock because it cuts so well on my Cameo 4. I do a lot of print and cut designs, and it works beautifully for that. I can also use ink blending on it if I want to create backgrounds. (1/3; ends 1/24/24)
