CSF Saturday Blog Hop - 250th Red, White, & Blue!

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is celebrating 250 years of the USA! Three cheers for the Red, White, and Blue!!!

I have to confess right up front that I used retired dies to cut the 250. I didn't have anything current to use! 😶 I cut the numbers into the Real Red Perennial Postage square die cut, and backed it with Basic White to make it stand out.

The second largest Perennial Postage rectangle die was used to cut Real Red and Basic White, onto which the star from Service Essentials was stamped in Night of Navy (stamped off). Some puffy stars were added, along with little gold stars using the tiny star die in the Service Essentials bundle with gold foil.

I hope your celebrations are safe, and you aren't suffering with this blasted heat! 😳

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 - CSF927

This month the Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenges will be to CASE the Catalog. The challenge is to use the inspiration card colors, sketch/layout, or stamp/bundle, but in a different way from the original. Here is our inspiration:

I chose to use the sketch with the Fern & Flora bundle and some Moonlit Flora DSP for my card. I noticed in the May-Aug 2026 Sample Recipes that the inspiration card was note card size, so I trimmed the Golden Glow card base down to make a 4" x 5 1/4" finished card size - not exactly a note card, but small enough to fit the 4" wide DSP strip from side to side.

Speaking of the DSP, I used the Peaceful Pine Shimmer Brush to randomly color in some of the leaves just for fun. The DSP was adhered to a Mossy Meadow mat before adding to the card. The greenery behind the floral image was cut from Mossy Meadow and Peaceful Pine Pearlized Specialty Paper (a little more shimmer).

After stamping and coloring the flowers I used a circle die to cut it, and dimensionals to attach it to the card. The moths were colored and die cut, with a little more shimmer added with the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush.

Measurements

Card base: Golden Glow 4" x 10 1/2", scored/folded at 5 1/4"
DSP: Moonlit Flora 4" x 4 3/8"
Mat: Mossy Meadow 4" x 4 5/8"

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Summer Fun Time

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is summer fun times. Now that I'm many decades past the freedom of a full three months with no school, and no work, I look back fondly on the summers we spent at the beach when we lived in Norfolk and Virginia Beach, VA. Daddy was career Navy, so we were always near a coast.

I remember the lighthouse on Assateague Island, home of the ponies (Misty of Chincoteague was my favorite book back then), so it inspired my card today.

After die cutting the lighthouse from Basic White, I used the Stylish Shapes circle die to cut it out, then colored it with Stampin' Blends. Some sparkle was added to the sand with Golden Glow Shimmer brush spatters. It's really subtle, and hard to see in the photos.

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.
