Hugs & Kisses Endless Love Card for Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Happy Thursday! Hope your first week of the New Year went well! I am so excited that the new January to April Mini Catalog is out now! Have you seen it? There are some great new products out. We also have new Online Exclusives and 3 new kits! Its a fantastic start to the New Year! You can find information about all of these at the bottom of this post.

This week for our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop we have a Color Challenge!

These are the colors of the new Endless Love Suite in the Jan-April 2026 Mini Catalog. I decided to use Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, and Bubble Bath for my card. Here is my card:

The coordinating products in the suite make it so easy to put the card together! To make this card, I first started with selecting the which pattern of the Made with Love Designer Series Paper that I wanted to use. I decided on the “XO” pattern as I love the fun, whimsy feel of it. This choice decided the 3 colors for me: Real Red, Flirty Flamingo and Bubble Bath. I cut that panel at 4 x 5-1/4″, then wrapped the DSP twice with White Baker’s Twine. I glued it on a Real Red cardbase (8-1/2 x 5-1/2″ & scored at 4-1/4″). Next I cut the large Real Red heart with the largest heart in the Endless Love Dies. I used my Versamark ink to stamp the “Love” sentiment from the Endless Love stamp set. I added white embossing powder and heat set it. Using the dies, I cut out two pairs of “XO” in Bubble Bath and Flirty Flamingo. I glued one letter of each onto the top right of the heart. I used the center heart of the “O” in each color to glue on the bottom of the heart. I adhered the heart panel onto the card with dimensionals. The last step was to add a white bow with the same Baker’s Twine to the left of the heart. It was a quick and easy card to make!

For the inside of the card, I glued a panel of Basic White. I used 3 of the stamps from the Endless Love stamp set and stamped them in the 3 colors: Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, and Bubble Bath. I added a small strip of the same Made With Love Designer Series Paper at the bottom.

Then because this paper is so fun, I also decorated the envelope flap with this same pattern and stamped the “XO” in Real Red on the front.

It was fun putting this card together and I am looking forward to making some more cards with this suite! If you have any questions about this card or any of your stamping needs, please reach out to me at Nicole@thesigningstamper.com, I would love to help you!🤟
