CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF913


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

I just love the adorable Cutest Crew bundle! And how could you not have The Best Day frolicking with your canine and feline friends?! 


The dog and cat stamps have longer images, so I carefully inked up just the part I wanted to use before stamping and coloring.

The calico kitty didn't turn out quite as I wanted, but I think it's still cute. We have not a single calico among our seven cats. Tortoise shell, Torbies (x 2), Gray, Black, and two Gingers that are the sweetest, most affectionate boys. I love them all!!!

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Easter Bunny & Friends


Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is all about the Bunny and his buddies! I cut an opening in the Soft Sea Foam card front, and framed it with Country Woods DSP. Garden Green and Azure Afternoon were brushed on a Whisper White piece, and grass was cut (x 2) using the die, with more Garden Green brushed on. The grass was adhered first, with the brushed panel adhered behind.


Bunnies, chick, eggs, and flowers were stamped, colored, and die cut before being arranged on the card and adhered with multipurpose glue. The large bunny holding the egg was popped up on dimensionals, and Soft Sea Foam Hexagons added to the corners.


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.

The Very Vanilla background was embossed before it was adhered to the Cloud Cover card base. The die cut Cloud Cover banners were adhered to the back of the Cloud Cover mat, which was then adhered to the card.


After stamping the floral image, it was die cut then colored with Stampin' Blends. The greeting was stamped before the piece was popped up over the mat. Purple Fine Shimmer Gems added more Highland Heather.
