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! 😶

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Lori CASE


This week's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is CASing Lori DeGroot. I didn't have to look very far to find a card I love. I fact, I love it so much, I only changed the color, and kept everything else the same! Our son's girlfriend has a birthday next month, and her favorite color is yellow. Here's Lori's inspiration card:

I used Daffodil Delight Two-Tone cardstock for the background layers - the darker side for the torn layer and lighter side for the die cut layer. That die reminds me of eyelet lace, so pretty!
 

The flowers were colored with Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends, and the leaf was stamped in Garden Green. I used the Banner Sayings Bundle for the greeting since there wasn't a birthday greeting in the Lovely Arrangements Bundle.
 

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 - CSF907

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

Since I needed several Valentine's Day cards this challenge gave me the layout (most of the work done), I just needed to figure which products to use!


On a Real Red card base I adhered a piece of Basic White. The DSP was added, and then the long banner over it. The die cut heart was adhered so it overlapped the DSP and a Gold Foil arrow was added for some shine. 


On the greeting panel I stamped the 'Happy' and 'Day' in Flirty Flamingo, then on a strip 'Valentine's' was stamped in Real Red and popped up on dimensionals. It was matted on Real Red and popped up on the card.

Measurements

  • Card base: Real Red 5-1/2" x 8-1/5", scored/folded at 4-1/4"
