Share Sunshine with Sentiments for COVID-19

4/29/2020

Yesterday, Stampin' Up! released a special PDF download with sentiments perfect for sending cards while we're physically distanced. Plus, all proceeds from the Share Sunshine PDF go to organizations helping fight the pandemic. These sentiments range from sweet to powerful to humorous. There is perfect sentiment for everyone. The PDF also includes a list of all the colors used for each image and the dies and punches that coordinate with each one. How awesome is that!?

Last night was also Mystery Stamping on the On Y Go! Facebook group. My sister Carol joined me as the guest host for the evening. It was so much fun to have someone else to chat with while giving the clues. Well, she gave the clues and I stamped! 

To prepare for the evening, I used some of the sentiments from the Share Sunshine PDF to create some extra samples to share. I also created a sketch from the Mystery Stamping card. You can go watch the replay on Facebook or use the sketch to create your own cards.  
My sister came up with an awesome card! I love the movement the two triangles on the corners give to it. Here are the dimensions:

Cardstock:
  • Card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
  • Cardstock: 5 1/4" x 4"
  • Designer Series Paper: 4 1/4" x 3 3/4"
  • A piece of cardstock for the image cut to the shape and size you want.

Cut the DSP on a diagonal from one corner to the opposite corner to create the two triangles.

I think I've been cracking up over this card more than other people! When I was playing with the Broadway Birthday stamp set on Monday, I realized that there was an ice cream stamp and immediately thought: "Yay! I have a poop emoji stamp!" But I didn't think I would have an occasion to actually use it as one.

Cue the release of the Share Sunshine PDF. What better image to accompany the toilet paper "Let's Just Roll with It" sentiment than a poop emoji!

I used some retired 6" x 6" Naturals DSP. The card base is Early Espresso with a layer of Crumb Cake on top. I cut the sentiment with the Layering Circles dies and then mounted it on a piece of Early Espresso cut with the Stitched Shape dies.

To create the faces for my emojis, I punched circles with a 1/8" circle punch. I added black dots to the center to complete the eyes. For the smiles, I used a 1/2" circle punch and cut a tiny sliver from the edge of a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I had way too much fun with this card and I can't wait to send it to someone! Hopefully they will laugh at it as much as I'm imagining them laughing.

For my second card, I used the Painted Poppies DSP. I mounted it on a piece of Pool Party cardstock and then on a Rich Razzleberry card base. 

I stamped hearts across the middle in Rich Razzleberry with a stamp from the Check You Out stamp set.

For the ribbon, I wrapped two pieces of Red cotton ribbon across the card and secured them with Snail adhesive. I threaded a third piece underneath one of them and tied it in a bow to give the allusion that the ribbon was wrapped all the way around and tied. 

The sentiment and its mat are cut with the Stitched Rectangle dies. All of the greetings in the Share Sunshine PDF come in at least two versions. One is black and the other is colored. Some sentiments come in 3 or 4 different colors. This one is Rich Razzleberry, so I mounted it on Rich Razzleberry cardstock. I just love the idea of sending paper hugs!

I absolutely love this sentiment too! Sending Joy and Sunshine Not Germs. It perfectly wraps up my reasons for sending cards.

I used the See a Silhouette DSP for this card. The base is Blackberry Bliss with a layer of Old Olive on top. I stamped some lines between the DSP using the Swirly Frames stamp set. The sentiment and mat are cut with the Stitched Shape dies.

To give the card a little extra something, I added a swirl of Silver Metallic thread under the greeting. I can't believe the metallic threads are being discontinued! I love, love, love them. They are so perfect for putting under sentiments to add just a little sparkle. 

I hope you are continuing to stamp and send cards to friends and loved ones. It is so important to keep sharing sunshine and paper hugs even when we can't share real ones.

I would love to see the cards you make with this card sketch or cards you make with the Share Sunshine PDF. If you aren't already part of the group, please join me over on Facebook on the On Y Go! Stamping group and share your creations there!
