CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Jolly July

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Christmas in July! Gotta love thinking about winter holidays when it's sweltering outside, lol. And apologies if the photos look "off" - my camera died and I had to use my phone.

I'm using the Stitched Stocking bundle today. A 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Shimmering Stripes was adhered to the Peaceful Pine card base, then I started building the stocking. If you click on the picture, you can see more details from the die.

The main part of the stocking was cut from A Stitched Season DSP and the larger outline stocking was cut from Peaceful Pine. After stamping the stocking cuff, I added some holly leaves and berries (all in the Stitched Stocking bundle), and a ribbon loop held on with a button.

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 - CSF929

For this week's catalog CASE, I chose to loosely follow the sketch. Instead of the scalloped circle, I used the scalloped oval in the Framed Tulips bundle. I did keep the floral images at top right and lower left of the scalloped background, but went with a different color scheme.

My mother's 91st birthday is in nine days, and she loves violets, so this card is for her, along with a batch of her favorite cookies, lol. She'd rather have cookies than cake, and now I know where my cookie monster tendencies come from. 😁

The violets were die cut from Basic White, then colored with Stampin' Blends. The centers have tiny bits of Golden Glow glued behind. I brushed Peaceful Pine ink onto a scrap of white for the leaves to produce a lighter shade. The veins got a little Peaceful Pine Shimmer Brush on them and some rhinestone jewel "dew drops" were added.

I also brushed Fresh Freesia ink on the center of the oval to help the greeting stand out.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - White on White

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is White on White. (If you're old enough, you'll remember a song with this title by Danny Williams that was popular in 1964.) 😉

On the card base the embossed layer was popped up on dimensionals, and the second layer was also added with dimensionals. The leafy stem was adhered with multipurpose glue, and the Basic Gray greeting was popped up on mini dimensionals. Measurements are given below.

Measurements

Card base: Basic White 4 1/4" x 11", scored/folded at 5 1/2"
Embossed layer: Basic White 3 5/8" x 4 7/8" (Because this piece is wider than the folder, I laid it in the embossing folder so only half was embossed, then turned it the other way and embossed the other half.)
Top layer: Basic White 3 1/4" x 4 1/2"

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.
