CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Spotlight on Metallics

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is highlighting metallics, and we have a wonderful assortment from which to choose! I went all-in on the shiny stuff on this card, as you can see.

The poinsettia was created using Timeless Metallic Specialty Paper. After die-cutting the bits, I left them in the dies, removed the Thin Die Adapter, and used the Impressions Plate to really impress the veins into the petals and leaves. It makes a big difference in the finished product!

That lovely silver embossed background is from the Timeless Celebrations Hybrid Embossing Folder, an Online Exclusive coming next month. I have lots of ideas for that one! 😊

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 - CSF941

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

The dimensions in the sketch looked like a mini slimline, so that's what I made. The finished card measures 3 1/2" x 6".

The Tile Garden Bundle has square dies which worked perfectly! For the flower stems, I inked just the top bit of one of the stems in the stamp set, then chose the two smaller blossoms to top them.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Spotlight on Vellum

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is spotlighting vellum. Vellum Specialty Paper is so versatile! You can heat emboss it and color (or not) with Stampin' Blends, dry emboss it for subtle texture, or use it to tone down a too bright DSP pattern. For today's project, I used the hot foil system to add the gold to both the vellum and Golden Glow leaves.

A 2 1/2" x 5 1/2" strip of Early Espresso was embossed with the leaves from Seasonal Cheer and a piece of Golden Glow ribbon was added before adhering to the card base. After foiling and die cutting the leaves, they were stacked and adhered on the embossed panel. The greeting was stamped and punched, then 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.
