CCM Saturday Blog Hop - Casing ME!

With today's Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Hop it's my turn to be CASED! This is the card I chose, from November of last year:

And this is my new take on it:

I really wanted to use the Autumn Leaves bundle again because the leaves are really starting to turn now (and fall - our yard is a mess!).

I embossed the background with the Distressed Tile folder. Since I didn't have that lovely Crumb Cake plaid, I used the Abundant Beauty leaves mask instead.

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 at Loritamarie Crafts.

CCMC786 - Color Challenge

Today's Thursday Challenge is a color combination. Soft Sea Foam, Lost Lagoon, and Berry Burst practically shout "Christmas!" to me, so here we are. 😄 Merriest Trees is such a fun set, and perfect for this challenge.

I used Soft Sea Foam DSP from the Hello Irresistible pack and stamped tiny stars on it in Lost Lagoon (stamped off). The tree was stamped and die cut, as were the ornaments. That lovely gold garland was die cut from the limited release Silver & Gold Adhesive-backed Glimmer Paper. And boy did that adhesive come in handy - no messy liquid glue trying to adhere it to the tree!

A piece of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon was colored with the Light Berry Burst Stampin' Blend to pop behind the greeting. It needed something to balance the Berry Burst gifts under the tree. I think it worked. 😉

CCM Saturday Blog Hop - Casing Lori DeGroot

Today we are casing Lori DeGroot, our Canadian team member. This is the card she posted on October 6th last year:

    

And this is my take on it:

Q

I started by heat embossing the pine sprigs in white on Basic Black to mimic the B&W plaid on Lori's card. The square focal point was easy-peasy using the Christmas Classics Dies with Basic White for the greeting and Garden Green for the die cut greenery background.

The holly leaves were stamped on Garden Green, die cut, and some shading was added with the Light Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blend. Garden Green Blooming Pearls and a Black & White Gingham Ribbon bow finished the card.

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 at Loritamarie Crafts.
