ICS Blog Hop It's a Love Thing February 2026

 

Welcome to our Inspire, Create, Share blog hop featuring Stampin' Up! products in our "It's a Love Thing" projects.  I adore this bear in the Valentine Kisses bundle - he is so cuddly-looking.

This card was inspired by my friend, Ronda Wade.  It is an easy and cute fancy fold card.

Here is the interior of the card once you open to front "wings" as I call the folded flaps.  My interior sentiment is a smaller version of the Labeled with Love Punch, to custom fit around the specific sentiment. 

There is a lot of versatility with this bundle, as you can see below:

Here is the backside of the card and look at the peek to the backside of the Made with Love Designer Series Paper.  You will find my supplies listed at the end of this post.

I did outline my sweet bear with Wink of Stella to bring him a magical sparkle.

This card was featured at my Bingo event at a recent Creative Escape retreat.   The 3 hearts in the Tilt a Whirl dies are great for embellishing this print from the Delightfully Eclectic designer series paper.

Valentines Volunteering

I was delighted to help the residents at Chrysalis make Valentine's Day cards for their children.  We attended during their weekly fellowship for dinner and crafting.

I set up supplies for our project in a side room so we could spread out.

Here is one of the card options.  This one has a Laffy Taffy tucked inside for a sweet treat surprise!

I used the Hey Love stamp set for the designs.  They could choose any of the 6 animals for their cards.  The bag of candy was full of Airheads and Laffy Taffy for them to enclose in the Valentine.  Isn't the Gorilla adorable?

Our team brought in a tasty dinner of soups, salads, and desserts.

Dinner was a lovely and delicious time together.

Then we sang a few worship songs.

This box was full of surprise gifts for each lady.

The gift bags contained a charm bracelet.

It was fun to volunteer together and coach the ladies on their first stamping experience.  They loved stamping!

A table full of happy crafters.

When it was all done, around 50 Valentine cards had been completed.

The Birdie

The Crocodile

The Otter

The Skunk

The Hedgehog

I hope the children enjoyed their Valentine cards!  It was a delightful evening to volunteer and teach stamping.
