Rip and Flip technique for some Quick & Easy cards, to stay connected while distancing! #Sharesunshine


Hello again. Just sharing a quick post with some easy cards you can whip up to send paper hugs to your friends who are also isolating at home. This is a great design to use up some of your DSP- and I know you all have a stash at home!
You can easily create a stack to have on hand and simply add the appropriate sentiment when you need a card in a hurry.

I am grateful to Jacqui Williams from NZ and the link to her video is below.
It is such a beautiful part of paper crafting that there are so many who gladly share directions and tips.

I used this technique for my Birthday card for yesterday's social Stamping in Isolation, you can read that post here.

Today some of my team had a get together (thankyou Zoom) and we each made one of these style cards.

measurements:
Whisper White/ Very Vanilla:
Card Base- standard A5 size in Australia 21cm x 14.8 cm scored at 10.5
Mat  5 1/2" x 3 3/4"
Scrap for sentiment

DSP
6" x 3 3/4" - make sure directional papers run the same way that your card orientation is going to be

Coloured Cardstock Mat to match
5 5/8" x 3 7/8" - TWO of these

ink to match and ribbon or twine to match.

Here are a few more samples.





There are 15 pages of sentiments which are fun and easy to use. both black and colour images. If you would like to purchase the Download for the Sentiments it is a fundraiser for Covid-19 research and resources. You can print it out as many times as you like.  It's called "Share Sunshine" which is also the hashtag to go with it.
You can purchase it here.


And here is Jacqui's video.


I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used.

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

Colour INKspiration #11, lovely colour combo

I've had a bit of fun this morning playing with a fe new products. I LOVE the new embossing paste- and I've been waiting for ages for SU to bring out some materials for mixed media.  This paste is light and very easy to spread it dries quickly and gives a beautiful finish It can be easily coloured with our refill inks to create a perfect match. This weeks colours are just lovely together.  In my card I have used marina mist ink to colour the paste and used the brick wall mask. This is spread over a watercolour wash using Marina Mist- I just love the layers of colour. To create the leaves I used the 3 ink colours from the challenge and the baby wipe technique to get the variegated leaves using the Colorful Seasons stamp set and framelits. I don't currently have any Early Espresso cardstock but I do have some very old (retired) Early Espresso heat emboss powder, and I have used this for the sentiment on vellum. Of course I ended up with ...
