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.

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

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
