Valentine Share: Nuts & Bolts
A little Valentine love for the little's. Are you still making last minuet Valentines? I am! lol This week went off the rails here. Unplanned work deadline sprung up on us, nasty blizzard, 3-4" of snow dumped on us, temps plunged into -25 but felt like -36, I received my 4th Covid Shot and with my Rheumatoid Arthritis I have a different reaction then most people I ended up very sick for a few days but hey whatever it takes to keep me protected from having worse things happen, and the really sad part a good friend who is in her mid-40's discovered she has a rare cancer ughh it was discovered by pure luck too. So, people get yourself checked go to those eye doctor, dentist and year appointments. Like I said it was a banner of a week that really went off the rails.
For the nephews cards I used the Nuts & Bolts Cling Stamp Set item #157650 from the January - June 2022 Mini Catalog on page 13. The adorable imagery and sentiments of this Nuts & Bolts Stamp Set will make anyone feel loved and appreciated. The playful artwork and cheerful sentiments will add a perfect touch to your handmade cards and crafts. And while it may be a great stamp set for Valentine's Day, you can also use it to show loved ones how much they mean to you all year long! This set also offers some great versatility: The robot images can be combined on a card or used individually on a tag, while the open line-art images allow you to customize the look with different coloring techniques.
* 9 cling stamps
* Suggested clear blocks (sold separately): a, b, c, d
Card Base:
- Cut a piece of Gray Granite cardstock 5 1/2 x 11 with the Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer score with the Simply Scored Scoring Tool at 5 1/2, fold on scored line and press down with the Bone Folder creating a card base.
