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,
