Valentine Critters (with flash giveaway)

February 6, 2019 by Sandy Allnock 264 Comments [featured_image}

I bought one of them….Art Impressions kindly sends me a box of goodies after shows but – I wanted to get this one colored because I love me some funny critters, and wanted to let you know about it asap!

Note that these can be used all year round, so I love that about stamp sets that aren’t *for sure* for a holiday – but these cards are most of my valentines to send out this year.

Compensated affiliate links may be used  – that means if you make a purchase using my links, I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you for your support of my work on this blog!  Read more.

First the little otter in a sweater. Oh so cute! I made him a river rather than ocean otter….and gave him a scene with rocks, trees, and water.

The little squeak-heart mouse – GAH! I wanted him to fly REALLY high so looked up some cloud pics…I saw one of a heart and thought that’d be cute for a card!

The beaver is maybe using his valentine as wings? Not really sure. But he’s headed into his little beaver den with a sign over it!

When I looked up porcupine habitats, I laughed seeing them up in trees – wouldn’t that hurt if they fall down!?!?!? But…this little guy is sitting high up in the tree hugging a heart anyway. Let’s hope he stays put!

A commenter left a link to a sweet porcupine video you might like:

FLASH GIVEAWAY! I have 2 of these Valentine Critter stamp sets (one lightly used now!) to send out tomorrow – so tonight I’ll pick 2 winners from comments!

Hoping to get them to the winners in time to use for vday!
