CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Libby CASE


This week it's Libby's turn to be the CASE subject at Create With Stamping Friends! Here is her elegant card that was my inspiration:

 
I am always in need of birthday cards, so I jumped right on this design using the Fragrant Layers Bundle along with the Words of Beauty Dies.
 

The second largest Perennial Postage die was used to cut the popped up Bubble Bath layer. "Just Because" is die cut from Basic White and Petunia Pop. And the flower was cut and colored with Petunia Pop Stampin' Blends before adding the Granny Apple Green leaves. It's popped up, too. 


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 - 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.

Measurements

  • Card base: Very Vanilla 4-1/4" x 11", scored/folded at 5-1/2"
  • Center strip: Old Olive pattern in DSP 2" x 5-1/2"
  • Left rectangle: Petal Pink pattern in DSP 2-1/4" x 4-1/4"

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.
