CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Casing Lori de Groot


This week's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop CASE is Lori de Groot. I found so many CASE possibilities on her blog, but ultimately chose a card from last March. I loved the color theme and layout, though I turned the layout on its side for my card. Here is Lori's card:


I started by adhering the 3" x 5 1/2" Crumb Cake DSP to the card base on the right side. A 1 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Basic White was embossed with the Soft Waves 3D embossing folder and adhered on the left side, then a 3/8" x 5 1/2" strip of Lemon Lolly was glued over the seam.


After stamping and die cutting the rose image, it was colored with Lemon Lolly and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends. I added some shadowing with the Light Crumb Cake Blend to make the flowers pop a little more. It was adhered to the card with dimensionals, as was the greeting. Those Antique Pearls complement the colors perfectly!

Thursday Challenge - CSF856

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge are the colors Petunia Pop, Poppy Parade, and Shy Shamrock. Today is our daughter's birthday, and this is the card I made for her since she loves tulips.

The Mixed Florals bundle is a recent addition to the Online Exclusives and has the perfect image to showcase these colors. Since this set has only images, I paired it with Unbounded Love (an all-sentiment set) for the greeting.


The three colors were also added as DSP strips for the background. They measure 2" x 4 1/4" and the Distressed Tile embossed background measures 4" x 5 1/4". I did have to fussy cut the greeting, but it really pops on that Petunia Pop label. ("Pops" Get it? I crack myself up sometimes.) 😂

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Casing Debbie Henderson


For the next few weeks our Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme will be CASing the design team. We will choose a card they made and, using the same colors and layout but different stamps/bundles, make it our own! We are starting the fun and games by CASing Debbie Henderson this week. This is the card I chose:


I love the Blackberry Bliss on the card and thought it would be fun to use some Sale-A-Bration goodies to duplicate it. I started by stamping the flower trio from Heart Shaped on Basic White with Blackberry Bliss ink. I stamped once, and then again without re-inking the stamp to give it the two tone look. Thos two rectangles measure 1 7/8" x 2 1/2".


Then I embossed Blackberry Bliss cardstock (cut the same size as the stamped pieces) with the Starstruck embossing folder. The four rectangles were then adhered to 4" x 5 1/4" Basic White, and then to the Blackberry Bliss card base.


Since the stamped off flowers look similar to Fresh Freesia, I used it for the Stylish Shapes circle. The heart wreath and greeting were stamped with Blackberry Bliss and the circle was popped up on dimensionals. Some Fresh Freesia Seam Binding Ribbon and Fresh Freesia Purple Adhesive-backed Sequins were added as well.

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.
