Staying Connected Through Stamping- Hello

I was invited this week to join with some Stampin' Friends from all over Australia to stay connected through Social Stamping and to create a card with the theme "Hello". It came at just the right time and I'm very happy to participate.

It's a crazy old time and there's no doubt that we need to stay connected, and what better way than with a little paper hug. I have not been crafting much lately but it did feel nice to produce a few cards, and I enjoyed using some of the Poppies Elements. Each Embellishment is the same, the poppies on two label shapes with some additional sprigs behind and tied with some twine.
The sentiments are from Life is Grand, and Waterfront. I also sponged some of the white and silver paper from the foil Sale A Bration pack of DSP which you can earn for free until Mar 31.
The inside sentiment is perfect for both.
I hope you and your family stay well, and remember you're not stuck at home, you're safe at home.

Next on the blog hop this week is Bronwyn Eastley from Tasmania.
Hello Bronwyn. 
I wonder what amazing creation she will share this week.

If you would like some of these amazing products to help you pass the time creatively while we are self protecting you can see them all in the list below and order them from my online store. Remember the free gorgeous foil paper is only available until March 31.

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

    I think the kindness that is emanating from the pandemic situation is the shining light in a lot of negativity. So lovely to see your beautiful creations Liz and hope you have time for more art therapy soon. Thank you for joining the #socialstamping Kelly x

    Thankyou for the reframing from 'stuck' to 'safe'. That's a brilliant message!! Your cards are wonderful and have inspired me to have another creative marathon with the poppies elements. I love what you've done with them!! Totally gorgeous.

    Great cards. I particularly love the hello one with the graduation of colour for the background on the foil DSP.

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car

Funky Folds Blog Hop= a Bay window card using Country Flowers

Well it's been a very long time since I participated in a blog hop - and it feels good to be participating in a FUNKY FOLDS hop. You may have come from Jan McQueen's creation, or you may be starting here. Be sure and hop all the way around. I do love Fancy Fold cards and of course with a new catalogue and new products it is fun to be creating again. I have a big weekend retreat coming up in a few weeks and we are using the Country Flowers Stamp set so I am creating a swag of samples. Since time is such a precious commodity for all of us I am using some old favourite folds with new products - a whole new lease on life. For this week's hop I am revisiting the Bay Window Card. The front tri-panel piece bends forward and tucks in behind the little anchor which is fixed to the inside. Your card will stand up unaided. This is it with the edge tucked under the anchor. You can find the measurements and instructions and several previous samples on these pages. Today's card featu

CTC#116 Inspired by Pages 20-31

Welcome back of another week of CTC. This week we are CASEing quite a big section of the catalogue-pages 20-31, which includes the Oh So Succulent suite. I love the succulent set but need a lot more time to play with it. (I'm sure you can all relate to that!) I also love little square notecards like the one on page 31, so I had a little play and this is what I came up with. This week I've done the step it up system again. This is a lot of fun and a process which can help you analyse your own style and how to adapt that for classes or workshops to appeal to a wider range of styles. This week I am stepping it up from simple stamping directly onto the notecard, then building on that with another colour, added layers and embellishments. Although the twine doesn't carry through from the base card it needed a little bit of black to tie them all together.
