CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Use Your Stash!

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is to use something we haven't used from our stash. I don't think I've used the Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder yet, and I think I only used one stamp in the Paradise Gardens bundle, so that's what I chose for today's card.

The Peaceful Pine background was embossed and adhered to the Golden Glow card base. Two of the dies in the Sweet Words & Labels dies were used on the Vellum and the Basic White backer. After stamping and die cutting the greenery and flowers, I added shimmery shadows with the matching Shimmer Brushes. (Love that stuff!)

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 - CSF923

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

On the Basic White card base was adhered Basic Beige that was embossed with the Paradise Garden embossing folder. Then the layers of Barely Blush, Basic White, and the Basic Beige stripe DSP were added.

I used the Lovely Arrangements bundle and stamped the flowers on Barely Blush cardstock, then filled them in with Barely Blush Stampin' Blends and cut them with the coordinating dies. The leaves were stamped in Granny Apple Green and also die cut. Then all were added to the card, glued and popped up, along with the greeting and In Color Dots.

I think these colors would be lovely on a wedding card!

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Cards for Guys

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is guy cards. The Gears & Textures bundle is great for the gear-heads that you may know. (And I may be related to a few, lol.)

I tried something with the new Impressions Plate, and it worked! I used the Gears & Textures dies with the plate to create an embossed background, and really like the way it turned out. If you want to try it, and have the Impressions Plate, this is the "sandwich" to use, building from the bottom up:

Base Plate #1 (platform)
Die Plate #2
Dies cutting edge face up
Cardstock laid on top of dies
Impressions Plate (the black rubbery one)
Specialty Plate #4

After embossing the Very Vanilla with the dies, I stamped some of the texture images and rubbed a little Lost Lagoon with sponge daubers to highlight the details. Then I cut three of the gears from the shimmer paper and adhered them over their impressed places.

That was matted on the Lost Lagoon striped pattern from Everyday Essentials DSP and then adhered to the card base. I added the birthday greeting from Phrases & Frames and a couple Lost Lagoon Matte Dots, and it was finished.

Measurements

Card base: Lost Lagoon 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored/folded at 4 1/4"
DSP: Lost Lagoon Everyday Essentials 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Embossed panel: Very Vanilla 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

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.
