CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Fave New Jan-Apr Bundle

Updated! Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop (first of the year!) theme is our favorite new Jan-Apr bundle OR January Online Exclusive bundle. I do like several bundles from each offering, but I chose an Online Exclusive called Fragrant Layers for today's card.

First, a piece of DSP was embossed with the All in a Row folder and adhered to the card base. Next, the "frame" was cut from Basic White (measurements given below). Then the floral image was stamped and filled with the filler stamps, with the centers of the flowers colored with Peach Pie Stampin' Blends. A light Lemon Lolly Stampin' Blend added the background color around the flowers.

The frame was laid over the image and aligned, then I lightly traced around the outside with a pencil and trimmed just inside the pencil marks to make the image fit behind the frame.

 

Measurements

• Card base: Basic White 4-1/4" x 11", scored/folded at 5-1/2"
• Frame: Basic White 2-3/4" x 3-3/4"

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF901

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is the first sketch challenge of the year! Happy New Year, y'all! I'm already looking forward to Spring, how about you? 😊

I used products from the new Jan-Apr 2026 mini catalog, as well as the new January 2026 Online Exclusives. These will all be available to order on January 6th!

The background was embossed with the All in a Row Embossing Folder before being matted on Calypso Coral and adhered to the Petal Pink card base. The leaves (Lovely Arrangements) were stamped in Old Olive on a 2" x 4-1/4" piece of Basic White with the corners trimmed off. That was matted on Calypso Coral a scant 1/8" larger and the corners were trimmed to match.

The flowers were stamped and colored with Calypso Coral Blends, then fussy cut and adhered with dimensionals. The greeting (Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack) was also popped up, then a few Dear Dots were added.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Winter Scene

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Winter Scenery, and the images in the Winter Scenes stamp set fit the job perfectly! (Go figure, haha.)

I used two of the stamps to build this cozy cabin in the snow scene. The cabin stamp was colored with Stampin' Write Markers (on the last chance list!), and stamped. I stamped it again on a sticky note to cut out and use as a mask. The same "color on stamp" technique was used for the deer/mountain stamp, then I filled in the cabin and sky with Stampin' Blends.

 

The winter scene and copper colored textured metallic frame were cut with the new Beautifully Celebrated Dies coming in January, and adhered to the Embossed Designs card front. The greeting from Delicate Pines was stamped in Early Espresso.
