Send Hugs Through Cards with Leica Palma
Hey there, crafty friends! It’s Leica here, and I’m excited to share three cards I made using the new Stampendous Hugs Collection from Spellbinders.

I used the Stampendous Kitty Hugs Etched Dies to cut out an adorable kitty from Fog cardstock. I used different colored cardstock to create all the other elements and filled the card with these cute pieces. Adding a party hat and a bow gave it a playful touch. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampendous Kitty Hugs Faces and Sentiments Clear Stamp Set on a panel…
