January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, I just had to recreate it. There it was, nestled on the page displaying the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/happy-hedgehogs-photopolymer-stamp-set?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Happy Hedgehogs Stamp Set<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/hedgehog-builder-punch?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hedgehog Builder Punch<\/a>. Such a sweet card, even though it was hedgehog free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plaid paper in the background was just beautiful. My first instinct was to search every pack of designer series paper to find that perfect plaid design. But I quickly discovered it wasn&#8217;t designer paper at all. In fact, it was a plaid design made from a technique!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plaid Watercolor Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220524_170358.jpg.tmp_.jpg?resize=800%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"More Water Color Plaid Backgrounds\" class=\"wp-image-3314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220524_170358.jpg.tmp_-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220524_170358.jpg.tmp_-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220524_170358.jpg.tmp_-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220524_170358.jpg.tmp_-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220524_170358.jpg.tmp_-scaled.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220524_170358.jpg.tmp_-scaled.jpg?w=2400&amp;ssl=1 2400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that I knew what technique I was trying to learn how to do, I needed someone to show me how to do it.

Like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/paper-watercolor-fluid-100?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fluid Watercolor Paper<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/cardstock-8-1-2-x-11-shimmery-white?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shimmery White Cardstock<\/a>.

Because this technique is so <em>unique<\/em>, it is <strong>impossible<\/strong> for 2 cards to look the same. And as crafters of homemade cards, isn&#8217;t that what we are looking for&#8230;our personal spin on something everyone can do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are missing out on the Happy Hedgehogs, don&#8217;t despair. Those adorable critters do have a scene in my video. And I am sure I will be playing with them again soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Happy Hedgehogs Bundle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/happy-hedgehogs-bundle?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Happy Hedgehogs Bundle<\/a> includes both the stamp set and punch.
