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.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Libby CASE


This week it's Libby's turn to be the CASE subject at Create With Stamping Friends! Here is her elegant card that was my inspiration:

 
I am always in need of birthday cards, so I jumped right on this design using the Fragrant Layers Bundle along with the Words of Beauty Dies.
 

The second largest Perennial Postage die was used to cut the popped up Bubble Bath layer. "Just Because" is die cut from Basic White and Petunia Pop. And the flower was cut and colored with Petunia Pop Stampin' Blends before adding the Granny Apple Green leaves. It's popped up, too. 


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 - CSF909


This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a great sketch for using up some of that designer series paper you've been hoarding!

I used a tent-fold card base and adhered the center strip, followed by the left and right rectangles. The die cut circle was popped up on dimensionals, the the flowers were stamped on Very Vanilla and colored with Stampin' Blends.


After die cutting Old Olive leaves and adhering them to the circle, the flowers were die cut and adhered on top, with the largest blossom popped up. Two Petal Pink dots finished it off.
