Social Stamping



Hello and welcome to the first Social Stamping Blog Hop with so many talented crafters around the world joining in.
My friend Kelly Kent is the mastermind behind this and she put the group together to share our creations in a time where we are all social distancing and many are in isolation. It is a very unnerving time for a lot of people as some have medical issues and loved ones who are compromised and can not afford to get ill. My personal story is my beautiful mother has lung & now bone cancer and it would most certainly be dire for her if she became ill during this time. The government has put travel bans in place, I have had to cancel all my classes with my beautiful ladies and that has been a very difficult pill to swallow...

So here is the first theme that Kelly has set for us and it is "Hello"
 I will post this card out to someone who comments on my blog post.

I have made a card using a sneak peek of something pretty that is coming next month!


Isn't it gorgeous??
It is a whole suite called Ornate Blooms and I used the Dies, Ribbon & Designer Series paper.
There are stamps and Gems that also go with this suite.


  • Stamps: Honey Bee
  • Ink: Terracotta Tile
  • Card: Whisper White, Terracotta Tile, Early Espresso, Crushed Curry and Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper
  • Tools: Medium Daisy & 1" circle Punch, Ornate Borders & Ornate Layers Dies with a Die cutting/Embossing Machine
  • Embellishments: Dimensionals & Ornate Garden Ribbon

I have cancelled my classes too and struggling with the thought of not knowing how long this is going to go on for. Let's hope I get to see your face again soon. Mandy x
