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.

"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz

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
