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.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Cindy CASE


This week's Create With Stamping Friends CASE team member is me! Here is the card I chose:


I used the same basic layout and stamp/die bundle, but changed the colors and the occasion. This is for a dear friend, whose favorite Stampin' Up! colors are Gorgeous Grape and Mossy Meadow.


A piece of Lovely & Beautiful DSP was adhered to a Gorgeous Grape mat and then to the card base. I used the second and third smallest Branching Out dies to cut the Basic White and Gorgeous Grape pieces which were popped up on dimensionals. The flowers were stamped and then colored with Stampin' Blends and the leaves stamped with Mossy Meadow. After die cutting them they were adhered to the labels, with the large flower being popped up (as well as the greeting). A few shimmer gems completed the card.


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 - CSF908

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge are the colors Blackberry Bliss, Cloud Cover, and Old Olive.

After embossing the Cloud Cover cardstock, it was adhered to the Blackberry Bliss mat with multipurpose glue and then to the card base. 


The greenery from Friendly Foliage was stamped in Old Olive, then cut with the two coordinating dies and glued to the card. A scrap of Blackberry Bliss was heat embossed with the greeting and popped up on dimensionals. I'm sorry I forgot to note the measurements before I mailed the card! 😶
