SENDING HEALING HUGS

My brother-in-law and his wife returned home, early from their overseas holiday, last week and are half way through their mandatory 14 day isolation.

We were able to help out by leaving food for them the afternoon before they arrived home and pick up some groceries a few days later.

That made me think – what other things could be left at someone’s front door, if they need support – to send healing hugs, instead of physical ones.

I thought chocolate, tissues and throat lozenges could do the trick – popped into a lovely gift bag.

This is a quick and easy gift bag to make.

The LABEL ME FANCY PUNCH has a handy slot section in the punch which I used to create the space for the FLAX RIBBON to pass through.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

BIRTHDAY BONANZA TRIO

The BIRTHDAY BONANZA SUITE is such a bright, colourful and fun collection of products to make any birthday celebration an event!

These three cards were made for a Stampin’ Up! ® demonstrator challenge. The theme this month is BIRTHDAY and the supplies we can use are limited to stamps, ink and paper (specifically, Designer Series Paper).

The benefit of photopolymer stamps is that you can see exactly where you are stamping, so you can achieve even spacing.

All three strips of DSP are from the same paper bundle and they coordinate with six Stampin’ Up! colours. I only stamped with five of the colours for two of the cards. For the candle card, I used one colour and used the stamping off technique to achieve two shades.

#simplestamping is not my usual stamping style but it’s refreshing to use the basics.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

SAMPLER CARDS

Recently, I posted that I had been to a Paper Angels paper crafting day and it was an amazing day.

One of the projects featured the BY THE DOCK BUNDLE in a decor sampler.

I had to head home before our last make and take session so I took the project pieces home to finish later.

I couldn’t think of anyone I could gift the sampler to but thought I could make some masculine sampler cards instead.

A few products from other suites and bundles were also used. There will be a product list under each image.

I hope you like these cards. Let me know what you think.
