CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Orange Colored Sky

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is the song by Nat King Cole. I admit I had to look it up, because I didn't recognize it! Orange colored skies usually happen at sunrise or sunset, so Sunrise Sailing was perfect for this theme.

I started by brushing Daffodil Delight in the middle of Basic White, then gradually added Peach Pie around it. The Pretty Peacock strip at the bottom was first die cut using the wave die, but I used the leftover piece because I didn't want the piece with holes in it.

After it was adhered to the bottom of the "sunrise", I embossed it all with the hybrid embossing folder, then embossed the gold foil sailboat, and used the matching die to cut it out. Just needed a little scrap of Basic Black for the birds, and it was done!

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori de Groot at Loritamarie Crafts.

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF884

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge are the colors Basic Beige, Pecan Pie and Early Espresso. The Woven Textures DSP has all those colors, so that was my starting point.

I grabbed the beige and espresso sheets from the pack, and added them to a Pecan Pie card base. It's really starting to finally feel a little like fall here (breaking out the hoodies soon!), so I chose the More Than Autumn bundle to build the card. Cider should be hitting the stores soon followed by eggnog, which will make my hubby very happy. 😊

Stamped the cup using Early Espresso on Basic Beige and colored with Light & Dark Pecan Pie and Light Crumb Cake Blends. After stamping the greeting, I tapped the Light Pecan Pie Stampin' Blend over the label to create the spatters. 

Measurements

• Card base: Pecan Pie 4-1/4" x 11" scored/folded at 5-1/2"

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Pink Champagne

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is the song by Ariana Grande, Pink Champagne. I'm not familiar with it, since I'm kind of a fossil, but ask me anything about Classic Rock, lol! I do know about the beautiful array of pink colors in the SU color collections, and it was difficult to narrow it down to just a few for this card.

I'm using the soon-to-be released Christmas Greenery bundle for this card. Just 11 more days until it's available to all! The image was stamped and colored with the Stampin' Blends listed below, although there are filler stamps for the images if you aren't into coloring. The ribbon behind the image was split lengthwise for a lighter look behind the delicate florals.

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori de Groot at Loritamarie Crafts.
