CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Dreaming of a White Christmas


Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is all about White Christmas. I'd love it if we had one here, as long as it was gone the next day, lol. I think we've only had two since we moved here eleven years ago.


If you eliminate the hot foil tree, this is such a simple card to make, just blend Shaded Spruce on white cardstock, then die cut and glue! And it would still be a beautiful card.


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 Saturday Blog Hop - Plaid Perfection


Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is PLAID, one of my favorite patterns! It doesn't matter if it's gingham or buffalo check, tartan plaid, or madras - I like them all!

NOTE: I need to fess up that I used an embossing folder that is now retired. I didn't realize it (hard to keep up with all the changes), but I didn't have the time to remake it with something current. I guess the Softly Woven folder would have been a good substitute.


I used a dark Poppy Parade Stampin' Blend to carefully color the roof and front door of the house and added Golden Glow Pearlized Specialty Paper behind to make the windows glow.
