CSF Saturday Blog Hop - National Relaxation Day

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is National Relaxation Day. I didn't even know that was a thing! Of course, now that hubby and I are retired, relaxing is pretty much an every day occurrence. We highly recommend it! *wink*

I used the arch dies to cut the window and window frame overlooking the sea, then embossed the piece with the plaid folder. The window frame was adhered after embossing. The chair was stamped in Secret Sea, then colored using a Blender Pen to pick up ink from the lid of the ink pad.

The book and cup were stamped in Basic Gray, and colored with Stampin' Blends.

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 - CSF934

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a lovely color combination:

To the card base was adhered the Softly Woven 3D* embossed Golden Glow panel, followed by the Golden Glow gingham DSP. Measurements are given below.

I used the Fragrant Layers stamp set that is on the Last Chance list, stamping with the Basic Black Hybrid ink, and then coloring with Stampin' Blends and a Garden Green Watercolor Pencil and Blender Pen (since we don't have Garden Green Blends). That's the benefit of the hybrid ink - you can color with either alcohol based or water based inks!

After coloring the image, it was fussy cut and popped up on the card with dimensionals. The greeting was stamped on the banner and tucked underneath (also popped up).

Measurements

Card base: Basic White 4 1/4" x 11", scored/folded at 5 1/2"
Embossed layer: Golden Glow 2 1/4" x 5 1/8"
DSP layer: Golden Glow (smaller gingham pattern) 2 7/8" x 3 3/4"

* Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder available Sep. 1st

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Back to School Days

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Back to School, and the Learn & Grow stamp set has every element needed to make cute cards with a school theme.

I used the paper piecing technique to make the book covers by stamping the books on DSP and fussy cutting them out. The books and pen are popped up on a Fresh Freesia Tile Garden Dies* die cut which is popped up on the Softly Woven 3D* embossed background. FYI, the Tile Garden square dies have the same design details as the Spotlight on Nature circle dies!

Those Wonderful Stars are discounted on the Last Chance List, so I don't know how much longer they will be available. Just saying..... 😉

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.
