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.

The Very Vanilla background was embossed before it was adhered to the Cloud Cover card base. The die cut Cloud Cover banners were adhered to the back of the Cloud Cover mat, which was then adhered to the card.


After stamping the floral image, it was die cut then colored with Stampin' Blends. The greeting was stamped before the piece was popped up over the mat. Purple Fine Shimmer Gems added more Highland Heather.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Connie CASE

 

This week it's Connie's turn to be CASEd on our Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop. This is the card I chose to CASE. I loved the Timeless Plaid strip behind the main image, and found the perfect pattern to match my image in that pack. Buuttt, I checked and saw it was on the Last Chance list and it was listed as Low Inventory, so I went with the striped pattern in the Subtles DSP. And it's a good thing I did, too, because now the plaid is gone!


I started by adhering the DSP to the card base, and then the Everyday Arches die cut over that. The floral image was stamped and colored with Stampin' Blends, then fussy cut and adhered with dimensionals.
 

The greeting was stamped on a Petal Pink strip, and the ends cut in banners, then popped up. I was going to use the Old Olive dots, but it didn't look quite right, so I went with the white ones instead. I like the subtlety. 😊
