CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF894

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge are the colors Cloud Cover, Misty Moonlight, and Pecan Pie:

 

These are great colors for a neutral or masculine card, and since we've officially hit sweater weather here, I thought a sweater card would be perfect. The Stay Warm stamp set doesn't have any sentiments in it, so I borrowed an appropriate greeting from Snowy Delights.

 

I stamped the sweater outline in Misty Moonlight, cleaned the stamp, then flipped it over to use as a filler stamp using Cloud Cover. Note: Cloud Cover is not available in the Classic Stampin' Pad due to quality issues, but you can make own pad using the ink refill and an uninked Stampin' Spot.

 

The sweater was fussy cut (easy peasy!) and popped up on the white embossed background. Cloud Cover ribbon was adhered to the back and it was then adhered to a Cloud Cover mat (also popped up).

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Fall Flowers

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Fall flowers. I always think of sunflowers and chrysanthemums for Fall. Since I don't have a 'mum stamp, sunflowers it is!

Starting with a piece of Very Vanilla embossed with the Sunflowers folder, I brushed Crushed Curry, Pecan Pie, and Mossy Meadow to make the flowers pop. That was adhered to the card base, and a large Spotlight on Nature circle cut from more Very Vanilla was added.

The gold hoop was glued on with tiny dots of multipurpose glue. Using scraps of Very Vanilla (soo very many scraps, lol) the flower pot and sunflowers were stamped, colored with the filler stamps and die cut, then popped up on mini dimensionals. Note: there isn't a filler stamp for the leaves, so I used a Light Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blend to color them. After stamping and fussy cutting the greeting, it was also popped up and some butterflies added.

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 - CSF893

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

 

 

I haven't made a square card in a while, so this was fun! I started with a Cloud Cover 5-1/2" square tent-fold card base. To that was adhered a square of Basic White which was embossed with the *Beautiful Pattern folder. It's a 6-1/4 x 4-1/2 folder, so I had to run it through the machine twice to get the entire square embossed.

 

On the embossed piece was added a strip of Peaceful Garden DSP, with two narrow strips of Secret Sea glued to the edges. Three rectangles of Secret Sea created the background for the roses (*Pop-Up Petals Bundle), which were stamped in black, filled with Garden Green (stamped off) and Real Red, die cut and popped up on mini dimensionals. The greeting (*Words of Beauty Bundle) was stamped and die cut and also popped up. A Real Red Shiny Ribbon bow and Secret Sea Flat Pearls completed the card.
