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.

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 - CSF945

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a sketch. Since we are into November (!) now, I thought a Thanksgiving card would be appropriate.

The card measures 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" and fits nicely in a regular A2 envelope, so you don't have to pay extra postage for a square envelope.

The glimmer paper is popped up on dimensionals, and I tapped the Golden Glow Shimmer brush over the white die cut before adhering it on top.

I used a Water Painter to make a watercolor wash on Fluid 100 watercolor paper for the leaves and acorns. After it dried, they were cut with the Sweet Words & Labels dies and glued in place. The greeting was stamped in Early Espresso and fussy cut before being popped up below the leaves.

Measurements

Card base: Basic Beige 4 1/4" x 8 1/2", scored/folded at 4 1/4"
First layer: Early Espresso Glimmer 3"x 3"
Second layer: Basic White 2 11/16" x 2 11/16" die cut

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Happy Halloween!

Since today is the day for Jack-o-lanterns, witches, spooks, and goblins, today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Happy Halloween!

Since we retired and bought a farm in a very rural area, we don't get any kids Trick or Treating. I miss seeing the little ones and their adorable costumes. I also miss having Halloween candy in the house, but that's probably for the best. 😆

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.
