I’ll say from the get-go that this This Little Piggy Says Hello card is not quick and easy but……it sure is cute!
Once again, these little piggies are among those I stamped and colored with Stampin’ Up!’s soon to be released Stampin’ Blends a few days ago. After all the stamping and coloring I started making the actual cards. This card was based on one I saw on Pinterest. I loved the peek-a-boo windows. I’m sure there’s more than one person out there who remembers Laugh In. These piggies remind me of those characters peeking out of their little doors/windows.
I used quite a few supplies for this card:Â
