CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF942

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a color challenge that perfectly suits the Thanks & Giving stamp set.

The wreath image and greeting were stamped in Early Espresso rather than Basic Black Hybrid, for a slightly less bold look. I used the dark shades of the Stampin' Blends to color the wreath, which was then cut with a Spotlight on Nature die.

The smaller Cajun Craze banner was split and adhered behind the white banner to make it look like one long piece.

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.
