CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Spring Has Sprung

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Spring Has Sprung, and I think it finally has, though we may get hit with another cold snap before Mother's Day. (Fingers crossed we don't!)

 

I chose the lovely Flowers Fair background stamp so that I could use all the SU purples on it because purple and yellow are so Spring-like. If you like to color, this stamp is so much fun! I've already colored more images to use on future cards.

 

And with Spring come the bees, which I am always happy to see busy on our fruit trees and blueberry bushes. So naturally I had to add lots of those little pollinators! 😊

 

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 - CSF913

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a sketch:

I just love the adorable Cutest Crew bundle! And how could you not have The Best Day frolicking with your canine and feline friends?! 

The dog and cat stamps have longer images, so I carefully inked up just the part I wanted to use before stamping and coloring.

The calico kitty didn't turn out quite as I wanted, but I think it's still cute. We have not a single calico among our seven cats. Tortoise shell, Torbies (x 2), Gray, Black, and two Gingers that are the sweetest, most affectionate boys. I love them all!!!

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Easter Bunny & Friends

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is all about the Bunny and his buddies! I cut an opening in the Soft Sea Foam card front, and framed it with Country Woods DSP. Garden Green and Azure Afternoon were brushed on a Whisper White piece, and grass was cut (x 2) using the die, with more Garden Green brushed on. The grass was adhered first, with the brushed panel adhered behind.

Bunnies, chick, eggs, and flowers were stamped, colored, and die cut before being arranged on the card and adhered with multipurpose glue. The large bunny holding the egg was popped up on dimensionals, and Soft Sea Foam Hexagons added to the corners.

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.
