CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Favorite New In Color

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is our favorite new 2026-2028 In Color....and we can only choose ONE In Color. So not fair, because this year I love them all! But, since I can only choose one new In Color today, I have to go with Hydrangea Hue. (Big surprise, right, since it's blue? 💙)

Lucky for me, there are THREE patterns featuring only Hydrangea Hue in the new specialty DSP! Woohoo!!!

I wanted a lighter shade of Garden Green for the leaves, so I lightly brushed G.G. ink on some white cardstock until I had the shade I wanted, then cut it with the Scalloped Blossoms leaf die. Just for kicks, I also flicked G.G. ink spatters on the leaves for a little added interest. 😊

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 - CSF917

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a sketch, and another opportunity for using DSP:

A Basic Beige panel was embossed and adhered to the card base first. Then, using the largest square Stylish Shapes die, the Brushed With Beauty DSP and Crisp Cantaloupe Pearlized Specialty Paper* were cut. A smaller square of DSP was adhered to the Crisp Cantaloupe before gluing it to the card under the die cut DSP.

I added a little more of that cantaloupe shimmer behind the greeting, along with a matching butterfly from the 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies*. I love how that new In Color coordinates so beautifully with the Brushed With Beauty DSP, even though it's not one of the colors listed!

* Products will be available for customer order starting May 5th

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Fave New Catalog Stamp or Bundle

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is our favorite new stamp or bundle from the new May-Sep 2026 catalog. I have several, so today I'm using the Boutique Blossoms Bundle, along with the Scalloped Blooms Bundle which are both part of the gorgeous Bloom Boutique Suite.

The rose was stamped in Strawberry Slush and then colored with Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends. The little daisies were stamped in Pecan Pie (stamped off) and colored with Golden Glow Stampin' Blends.

 

The new Peaceful Pine 2026-2028 In Color really coordinates nicely with Soft Sea Foam. I used the Lovely Stripes 3D folder to add some texture to the Peaceful Pine background. It was matted on Basic White before being adhered to the card base. The dotted scallop die cut behind the rose, along with the greeting and tag, are in the Scalloped Blooms Bundle. Lots of lovely sentiments and dies!
