CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Coloring Inside the Lines


Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is coloring inside the lines - one of my favorite things to do! And I have a special card today that doesn't use ANY stamps or ink, only Stampin' Blends.


I started with  Basic Beige card base and added a Paradise Garden embossed background with Fresh Freesia Satin Ribbon wrapped around it. On top of that was adhered a Crumb Cake Beautifully Celebrated label. Then came the fun part!


I colored the blossoms in the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP with Stampin' Blends and fussy cut it out. Then it was popped up on dimensionals and a Greetings For All greeting was also popped up beside it.

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 - CSF930


This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday CASE the Catalog Challenge is on page 55 of the May-Aug 2026 catalog. For this challenge, I chose to use the inspiration card colors of Pool Party, Pecan Pie, Misty Moonlight, and Old Olive.

 
 
On a Pool Party card base I popped up the 4" x 5 1/4" Lazy Daisy embossed piece on dimensionals, then adhered a 1 3/8" x 4 5/8" strip of Pecan Pie. The 1 3/8" x 4 1/4" strip of Old Olive was embossed and adhered offset.


The smallest butterfly was stamped three times and colored with Stampin' Blends, then punched out and all were added with dimensionals, as was the Misty Moonlight stamped greeting.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Jolly July


Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Christmas in July! Gotta love thinking about winter holidays when it's sweltering outside, lol. And apologies if the photos look "off" - my camera died and I had to use my phone.

I'm using the Stitched Stocking bundle today. A 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Shimmering Stripes was adhered to the Peaceful Pine card base, then I started building the stocking. If you click on the picture, you can see more details from the die.


The main part of the stocking was cut from A Stitched Season DSP and the larger outline stocking was cut from Peaceful Pine. After stamping the stocking cuff, I added some holly leaves and berries (all in the Stitched Stocking bundle), and a ribbon loop held on with a button. 


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.
