CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Connie CASE

 

This week it's Connie's turn to be CASEd on our Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop. This is the card I chose to CASE. I loved the Timeless Plaid strip behind the main image, and found the perfect pattern to match my image in that pack. Buuttt, I checked and saw it was on the Last Chance list and it was listed as Low Inventory, so I went with the striped pattern in the Subtles DSP. And it's a good thing I did, too, because now the plaid is gone!


I started by adhering the DSP to the card base, and then the Everyday Arches die cut over that. The floral image was stamped and colored with Stampin' Blends, then fussy cut and adhered with dimensionals.
 

The greeting was stamped on a Petal Pink strip, and the ends cut in banners, then popped up. I was going to use the Old Olive dots, but it didn't look quite right, so I went with the white ones instead. I like the subtlety. 😊

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF911

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is this sketch, another great way to use scraps of DSP!

This one is pretty self-explanatory, so I'll just put the measurements below. I do love that Product of the Month stamp set, which you can choose for just $5 if your order totals $75 before tax and shipping, while supplies last. I wasn't going to get it, but the more I looked at it, the more I liked it!


The greeting was heat embossed in gold and popped up on dimensionals, with Tiny Bee Trinkets added all around. This was a super easy card to make - you should try it!

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Melissa CASE

Create With Stamping Friends has a new Instagram account! We'd love to have you follow us on IG. Just click the link above!


This week it's Melissa's turn to be CASE Queen for the Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop. I had a hard time choosing just one card for my inspiration, but finally chose this one:


The layout is basically the same, and I used the same stamp set for the floral image, but changed the colors and embossed the white background.
 

Since Gallery Blooms doesn't have any sentiments, I used the birthday stamps in Addressed to You.
