CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF928

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is another catalog CASE, this time on page 41.

For my inspiration, I chose the banners from the Three Banner Punch. I know it's barely past Independence Day, but Halloween will be here before you know it! I was enchanted by the kitties in the Oh My Fright bundle, so that's the bundle I'm using today.

On the Timid Tiger card base was adhered a strip of Crisp Cantaloupe Gingham Gallery DSP. It was topped by a strip of Basic Black that was embossed with the Halloween folder from Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders.

The tree (Basic Gray) was adhered next. The greeting was stamped on Crisp Cantaloupe and punched, then all three banners were adhered with dimensionals. The little bats, cut from Basic Black, had a piece of white glued behind their eyes to make them look extra spooky. The ghost and bats were adhered with dimensionals. After stamping and coloring the "Cat in the Hat", it was die cut and adhered with dimensionals, as well.

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.
