Kangaroo And Company Love You Much

by Joanne James6. February 2026 09:00

 

Happy Friday everyone! Today I'm sharing a sweet Valentine's card that I made for a few challenges:

       

I started with the colours over at Sunday Stamps (I managed to use all 5 colours) and Kim's layout over at Freshly Made Sketches (full confession here - I had sketched the layout less than accurately and when I finished my card, realised the angles on my diagonals should have been steeper/angled differently - I might have to have another go at this one!) and I'm also playing at Festive Friday with pink, diecuts and hearts from their list. I chose an 'oldie but goodie' from the retired shelf for today's card - take a look:

 

 Here's the low-down on today's card:

I thought those diagonals would be great for rows of pink hearts and heart-embellished letters, as a background to my cute kangaroo from the retired 'Kangaroo & Company' set bearing a cluster of hearts and a hidden message in her pouch:

 

An additional touch of decoration inside completes my card:

 

This card is already in the post to the youngest of the James Juniors - sweet!

Enjoy your day - I have a couple of appointments followed by lunch with a friend - what a lovely way to finish the week!  I'll be back on Sunday with my project for our new challenge over at The Paper Players. Until then, happy stampin'!

Such a fun take on the sketch with that heart holding kangaroo! The angle is just fine and I like that you chose to put the sentiment on the inside of your card! Thanks so much for linking this up to FMS this week!

That is just so super cute! The lines of tiny envelopes and the line of hearts are so romantic, without being in the least bit saccharine. That's a great use of the sketch, I think. Smile
