CSF Saturday Hop - Traditional Christmas Colors

Can you believe this is the last day of November already??? With Christmas breathing down our necks, today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is traditional Christmas colors. I have always been partial to the traditional red and green because it's what I grew up with, and it elicits fond memories.

I pulled the colors from Take a Bow DSP: Real Red, Garden Green, and Granny Apple Green. And, as luck would have it, those are the same colors in the Festive Glimmer Paper, so I had matching bling overlays for the trees!

To help the trees stand out from the DSP, I used Basic White die cut with a Countryside Corners die and embossed with the Snowflake Sky embossing folder. And you know I had to add more sparkle with some Iridescent Faceted Gems. 😍

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.

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF846

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a color challenge. I needed a birthday card for our awesome son in law, so this is what I came up with, using these colors:

On a Basic White Thick card base is layered Azure Afternoon (3 15/16" x 5 3/16"), topped by Gray Granite (3 3/4" x 5"), which was embossed with the Soft Waves 3D embossing folder that will be available in the Jan-Apr mini catalog.

The Azure Afternoon and Lemon Lolly cardstock were die cut with a Spotlight on Nature die. The blue one was glued down and the yellow popped up. The birds from Winterly Tree Tops were colored with Gray Granite and Lemon Lolly Stampin' Blends. I have no idea what kind of birds they are, I just went with the colors, lol. The (berries? buckeyes?) and the branch they're sitting on were colored with Pecan Pie, and Medium Light and Deep Combos.

All it needed was a greeting, which was in the Something Fancy bundle. I like this card a lot! It's not too plain, and not too frou frou for a guy. 👍

CSF Saturday Hop - Non-traditional Christmas Colors

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is non-traditional Christmas colors. This is always a fun theme, because there are soooo many ways it could go. After thinking about it, navy and purple popped into my head. Doesn't get a whole lot more non-traditional than that!

I started by blending Night of Navy, Fresh Freesia, and Highland Heather on the white cardstock, then heat embossed the snowflakes from Snowy Wonder on it. We just had our first snow of the season, and the wind was really swirling the snow around, so I thought adding the embossed swirls was appropriate.

The tree was cut from Night of Navy cardstock and the snowflake overlay from white glimmer paper. I added a little Silver & White Sheer Ribbon behind the tree for more glittery goodness. 😊

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