CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Leaves or Trees


Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is leaves or trees, and that gave me the perfect excuse to use the Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Dies with the new Stampin' Hot Foil System. I really tried to resist getting it, but resistance was futile - the magpie in me was lured in by the pretty, shiny things. 😍


For this card, I first used the hot foil dies to make leaves (shown below, to be used on a future project), and then used the leftover piece of copper foil with the Reverse Hot Foil Die, on the darker side of Basic Black Two-tone cardstock, to make the leaves shown here. That die set includes an outline die to cut all the leaves out, too!

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF937


This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a sketch:

The Party Banners Dies and new Tile Garden Bundle made this a quick and easy card! I stamped the Petal Pink card base with the tiny flower using VersaMark ink for a subtle background. After die cutting the Calypso Coral banners, I stamped the flower trio on them in Calypso Coral ink, then adhered them onto the card base.


The Mossy Meadow jute was tied in a big bow and adhered with glue dots. Next the square was die cut with the Tile Garden die and the flower and stem were stamped on it. It was popped up on dimensionals over the bow, then the greeting was stamped, fussy cut, and popped up as well. Some pearls added a little subtle shine.
