Welcome to today’s blog post! Today, Tuesday, January 21, 2025 is National Hugging Day! Yes, I saw this on the calendar and had to look into it to see how this got started.
National Hugging Day is an annual event dedicated to hugging in the United States. It was created by Kevin Zaborney, a Christian pastor, and occurs annually on January 21. The day was first celebrated in 1986, in Clio, Michigan. The holiday is also observed in many other countries.The idea of National Hug Day is to encourage everyone to hug family and friends more often. Zaborney cautions to ask first if one is unsure of the response, as respecting the personal space of others is always important and some people are not huggers.I used the Stampin’ Up! Birthday Celebration stamp set bundle to create a quick birthday card to show you today. This is the birthday card that I send to my Birthday Card Club participants.
Make hugs in a card with the Hugs for Love Bundle. Punch out a label with the To the Point Label Punch and decorate it with a border stamp from the Hugs for Love Stamp Set. Then choose a sweet sentiment for the center!
The colors for this card are so bright and vibrant. Love the color of Pumpkin Pie and mixed with lemons, it is so cheery! The designer paper is Fruit Salad which you can get FREE when you reach the Sale-A-Bration amount of $60.
Here is another card using different sentiment from the same stamp set. So versatile. Send the biggest hugs with the Hugs for Love Stamp Set! This stamp set features heartfelt sentiments for love, encouragement, and just because. Pair the sentiments with the various heart images and the border stamps for an easy and cute design.
Check out this designer paper that you can get for free. Love the bright images. Fruit Salad 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper, yummy, yummy!
