CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Animal Love

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Animal Love, and the animals in Storybook Friends were perfect for this theme! Don't the rabbits remind you of Peter Rabbit? 

The cute little fellow is offering his lady friend a "bouquet" of lettuce. I'm okay with the rabbits running around our farm, but like Farmer McGregor, I want them to stay out of my garden!

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 - CSF853

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a sketch. This is the sketch we are using this week:

I'm REALLLLY longing for Spring. It's just been stupid cold for too long, and I need to thaw out so I'm using Spring colors (while sitting here with my heater fan on high), and making a Spring-y birthday card.

Delightful Wished dies made the cut out design in the Daffodil Delight panel, which was embossed with the Painted Texture 3D folder. Floral Delight DSP provided the angled pieces (2" x 4") as well as the fussy cut flower/leaf combination. Tiny Bee Trinkets (so stinkin' cute!) were added with mini glue dots, as was the Daffodil Delight bow.

The Delightful Wishes stamp set was used for the greeting, but only the Happy Birthday part was inked up. The label die was then used to cut it out, and it was run through the SCEM twice to shorten it.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Hearts & More Hearts!

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is a hearty helping of HEARTS!

I started with a Melon Mambo card base and stamped the floral stem from Adoring Hearts* using VersaMark ink to create a patterned background. After stamping, coloring and fussy cutting the floral heart, I popped it up offset from the Pretty in Pink glimmer heart that was die cut using a Hearts of Elegance die.

I used more PIP glimmer for the 1 1/2" x 4 1/4" strip matted on 1 3/4" x 4 1/4" Basic White to show off the embossed/die cut hearts from the Adoring Hearts hybrid die and embossing folder.

 

* I didn't realize the stamp set is no longer available, but the hybrid embossing folder & dies still are.

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.
