CSF Saturday Blog Hop - All About Greetings

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is All About Greetings - making the greeting the focal point - which was easy to do with the Words of Beauty Bundle!

To make this card, I used some new products from the upcoming May-Aug 2026 catalog which begins May 5th. There are so many things I like about this catalog, beginning with the index in back making it super easy to find things!!

The Specialty DSP used here is from the Bloom Boutique Suite on page 16 of the new catalog. I'm sorry I didn't get the camera angle right for you to see the little gold foil accents; they are beautiful but subtle.

The Blueberry Bushel words are backed by Hydrangea Hue Pearlized Specialty Paper and the butterfly was colored with Blueberry Bushel and Hydrangea Hue as well.

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 - CSF915

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

...another great sketch that shows off beautiful DSP from the Brushed With Beauty pack. I picked the colors from the DSP to stamp the bloom in Calypso Coral, the flower center in Darling Duckling, and leaves in Mossy Meadow, as well as the strip of Calypso Coral cardstock between the DSP strips.

A little bit of texture was added by embossing the cardstock strip, and using the Spotlight on Nature die for the Mossy Meadow mat behind the image.

• Card base: Basic White 4-1/4" x 11", scored/folded at 5-1/2"
• DSP strips: Brushed With Beauty 1-3/8" x 4" (x 3)

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Repetitive Backgrounds

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is making a repetitive background using an image or greeting. One of the top items on my demonstrator preorder (from the upcoming May-Aug catalog) was the All Aflutter stamp and punch bundle because...butterflies!

I used the butterfly trio stamp for the repeating background with Golden Glow ink, stamped off once each time it was inked. Then the butterflies were stamped again with Memento ink, colored with the Golden Glow Stampin' Blends, punched with the coordinating punch, and popped up with dimensionals.

The DSP behind the butterflies was die cut with Scalloped Blooms Dies with one adhered to the card base with multipurpose glue and the top one popped up on dimensionals. 

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.
