How cute are these Hedgehogs? I love that there is a coordinating punch in the Bundle, which means you can stamp the hedgehog images and cut them out quickly using the punch. Easy Peasy!

And there are lots of other fun images in this stamp set too! Mingle the adorable hedgehogs with flowers, butterflies, forest mushrooms, and birds in the Happy Hedgehogs Stamp Set. Combine the images to create a playful scene to adorn scrapbooks. Or create a card to thank someone in your life for their kindness and friendship. It’s so easy—stamp the line-art images on a card front, add the sentiment that expresses your feelings, and send!
