Social Stamping this week's theme- Sympathy

Welcome to this week's Kelly's Social Stamping blog where the theme is Sympathy.
Never easy cards to make, but important ones to give and send.
I generally opt for neutral themes and tones and have used a the Forever Fern set (again) with some simple embossing.



The sentiment is a retired one but I love the simplicity and clean lines and really, minimal words are all you need. 
I have also embossed the envelope for this card and love the effect.

In so many occasions in life it is the power of connection that supports each of us, so Sympathy cards certainly have their place in our world. Being able to create a card that allows for connection to another who is suffering is a precious thing. Those small acts of giving keep us together on this journey. I'm not sure if you feel the same.

Next on the hop this week is Michelle. I look forward to seeing everyone's creations, sharing inspiration is enriching. Thankyou to everyone who share so generously in this creative hobby of ours.


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

    I love your card Liz. Its simplicity with the Forever Fern leaves on the embossed white is gorgeous. Also love the embossing on the envelope. Your words are so true. We do need connection and more so when we are grieving. A card is a beautiful way to share your heart with someone, while giving them the space they need. xxx

    Wow, this card is gorgeous. The choice of muted tones is perfect for a sympathy card.

    I love how you’ve kept lots of white with the embossing and just small bits of colour. Perfect for a sympathy card to show you care.

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.

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...
