CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF886

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge are the colors Cloud Cover, Lemon Lolly, and Fresh Freesia.

I started by cutting the opening in the Cloud Cover base with Everyday Arches, then embossed the front with the Exposed Brick 3D folder. For the Lemon Lolly background, I started with L.L. cardstock and added more ink with a Blending Brush at the top, tapering down to nothing at the bottom.

The floral silhouette was stamped, and stamped again without re-inking, then the Lemon Lolly panel was adhered to the inside front. I used the same size arch die, and the next larger size to create the Fresh Freesia frame.

The greeting from The Right Words was stamped on Fresh Freesia and a banner end cut before adhering to the card with dimensionals. I thought about using Cloud Cover embellishments but ultimately went with Fresh Freesia because they popped a little better.

For the inside, I stamped the same image in Cloud Cover* and added the rest of the sentiment.

*Cloud Cover is not available in the Classic Stampin' Pad, but it is available as an ink refill, Stampin' Write Marker (In Color set), or in the Classic Stampin' Spot Small Assortment 1 set. I used an uninked Stampin' Spot and the ink refill.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Fave September Online Exclusive

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is our favorite September Online Exclusive. Not surprisingly I have several, but the Pine Tree Trimmings bundle is in the top three, so I chose it for today's card. One of the great things about this bundle is how inexpensive it is!

I paired the bundle with my favorite new mini catalog DSP, Christmas Tags & More Mix & Match Specialty DSP. It's a mouthful, but really cute and Christmassy!

The plaid DSP was adhered to the Garden Green mat and then to the left flap of the card (measurements are given below). The inner DSP was also adhered to a Garden Green mat and then to the inside of the card. The starry tree inside was stamped in Soft Sea Foam, stamped off once.

On the white front panel I blended some Lemon Lolly to make a glow behind the die cut DSP tree, then stamped the greeting. Gifts were stamped and die cut, then adhered to the bottom of the panel, saving one for in front of the tree. The tree was attached with mini dimensionals. The panel was matted on gold foil, then on Garden Green and adhered to the left flap.

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF885

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

I used the new Amber Autumn bundle for this card. It just became available with the Sep-Dec mini catalog that started yesterday! The dies that coordinate with the stamp set also include the beautiful lacy, leafy background which was cut in Pecan Pie and layered over the Pecan Pie card base.

All of our lovely orange shades were used to color the pumpkins and squash: Peach Pie, Timid Tiger, and Pumpkin Pie (of course). The banner is Timid Tiger.
