Let's Go Tropical!

Good arvo, (from chilly Melbourne, Australia), I hope you are well & ready to stamp!!

This weeks blog hop theme for Kelly's blog party is New (Normal), as in our world has a new normal now... I took this as being literal & have used a new stamp set! This stamp set isn't one that I would usually use, but seeing as we are at home lately & I won it, (while at a SU! event?), I thought I should have a play with it, of course!

I have this card to show you, using the Timeless Tropical stamp set. I also have a confession - Ive never used this stamp set, it just didnt do anything for me, but I am falling in love with it, now that I'm actually using it!! (Inspired by Susan Wong)

I find it incredible how when changing the sentiment, it can change the way the card looks!!

Ive used the Timeless Tropical stamp set, as mentioned earlier, gold embossing powder, Stitched Nested Labels dies & fussy cut the flower & leaf.

It's such a cheery card, don't you think? You can order these items and more here & have it sent directly to your home - how convenient, right? That way you can work on your own New (Normal) projects too! 

Thanks for stopping by, I love reading all of your comments below.

Spreading Some Social Sunshine!!

Today's 'Show 'n Tell' with Kelly is all about spreading sunshine - how could I possibly resist this, hey?

Up until Friday morning I was going to make a card or scrap page about the sunshine, specifically, or maybe even my 'son-shines', my 2 sons... But then I saw that a close friend, who lives in Tasmania needs a different kind of sunshine....

Nicole had spent the last 4 days in hospital with her boy. He was very unwell with a stomach bug of some sort & given our current world, it would have been a very worrying time for her, her husband & his older sister. 

It's always so tough when our children can't tell us what is wrong , what pain they are feeling or what happened. Thankfully they are all home now, sleeping in their own beds, (not on a plastic chair) and are finally recovering!

This all being said, onto my card for my mate, Nicole!!

Using the Share Sunshine PDF Download, (which gives various COVID-19 related sentiments), Ive teamed it with the Bird Ballad DSP & Daisy Delight stamp set.

Dont you love how the petals are curved? Ive used the Bone Folder to just gently curve them, to give them some life.

I've also placed a strip of that DSP inside, to give it a lift, otherwise the Whisper White cardstock would look so stark. It was screaming for colour!!

This card just has to cheer Nicole and her family, with all those bright colours, right?

Thanks for leaving me a comment below, be sure to jump forward, (or backward) and continue looking at Michelle's amazing creations - there are certainly talented people around here!!

Enjoy your Hop ahead!! Jo x
