CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF911

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is this sketch, another great way to use scraps of DSP!

This one is pretty self-explanatory, so I'll just put the measurements below. I do love that Product of the Month stamp set, which you can choose for just $5 if your order totals $75 before tax and shipping, while supplies last. I wasn't going to get it, but the more I looked at it, the more I liked it!


The greeting was heat embossed in gold and popped up on dimensionals, with Tiny Bee Trinkets added all around. This was a super easy card to make - you should try it!

  • Card base: Fresh Freesia 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored/folded at 4-1/4"
  • Background: Basic White 4" x 5-1/4"

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Melissa CASE

This week it's Melissa's turn to be CASE Queen for the Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop. I had a hard time choosing just one card for my inspiration, but finally chose this one:


The layout is basically the same, and I used the same stamp set for the floral image, but changed the colors and embossed the white background.
 

Since Gallery Blooms doesn't have any sentiments, I used the birthday stamps in Addressed to You.

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF910

Hello, Stamping Friends, just taking a minute to announce we have a new Instagram account, and we'd love for you to follow Create With Stamping Friends there! Just click <<< that link to the left.

And now on to this week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge - the colors Azure Afternoon, Coastal Cabana, and Peach Pie.

After blending some Azure Afternoon on Basic White, I cut it with the Branching Out die, and cut another larger layer for underneath. Both were popped up on the Coastal Cabana card base.


The vase was stamped with Coastal Cabana, and the butterfly and bouquet with Memento. The butterfly and flowers were colored with Stampin' Blends, then the vase, butterfly, and bouquet were die cut. I colored a piece of baker's twine with the light Azure Afternoon Stampin' Blend to make the bow on the vase.

Vase, bouquet, butterfly, and greeting were all popped up, as well.
