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.

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,...

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. Product List Pretty Perennials Photopolymer Stamp Set [ 154435 ] $31.00 Pretty Perennials Bundle [ 156234 ] $78.25 Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [ 155225 ] $0.00 Roco...

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project  or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...
