Party Panda does his bit for hugs and friendship challenges-

hi all

hope this first week and a bit, of the new year,  hasn't proved too onerous and everyone is now fully in the swing of everything,  including Stampin' Up's annual Sale-a-Bration campaign.

and if you have never heard of it - a little explanatory video here

'Sale-a-Bration'  

 yeah and don't we all love a freebie or even more than one!
Clink on the link on my side bar to look at the brochure on line

Copies have already gone out to all my customers but if anyone else would like one please just get in touch.

which brings me to my card here, it uses this adorable Panda from the Party Panda stamp set in the brochure.!

No, you can't  buy the stamp set   but you can earn it for free with a qualifying spend of £45 as part of this year's SAB event..

My card uses a couple of other stamp sets, (Hedgehugs  from the current Spring/Summer seasonal catalogue and the sentiments,  both the stamped wording and the Real Red die-cut feature word are from the Sunshine Sayings stamp set and matching Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies, respectively.  Both of these are available in the current Annual catalogue.

.. and their combined totals  £18:00,  £21:00 and £ 24:00 meant I certainly had enough to treat myself to those lovely Pandas.

and if you were wondering - the little hearts were easily punched from tiny off-cuts of red the card stock using the fun Cookie Cutter Builder punch - so definitely not just for Christmas - and with Valentine's day coming up - why not make your own card confetti and fill an envelope with them -.!  Now there's a thought.. uhm..

well I thought new year - new card challenge,  so shall be joining  in with CASology challenge no 282 where the cue word there is 'Hug'

and  the January 2018 challenge at Happy Little stampers where Friendship is the theme there, so hoping this fits the bill on both counts.
