CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF903

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a sketch perfectly suited for the new A Round of Hellos stamp set:

The background DSP was adhered to the card base first, with another strip from the same pack adhered to the middle.

I used colors from the background (Old Olive, Peach Pie) to stamp the leaves and flower, then lined up the circular "hello" greeting and stamped it with Memento ink. After punching it with the 2-3/8" circle punch, it was matted on Old Olive cut with the second largest Stylish Shapes circular die.

The DSP circles were cut with the third largest and the smallest circular dies and adhered with multipurpose glue over the background, then the image/greeting was popped up on dimensionals. Peach Pie In Color Flat Pearls finished the card.

Card base: Basic White 4-1/4" x 11', scored/folded at 5-12"
Background: Lovely & Beautiful 4" x 5-1/4" plus 4" x 1-1/4" strip

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Favorite Jan-Apr DSP

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is our favorite DSP from the new catalog or new Online Exclusives. Right now my favorite is the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty DSP. This particular pattern brings back happy memories of my great grandmother....I'm sure she had an apron with this print, or something very similar. She also loved African Violets, so I chose Fragrant Layers for the flowers.

The DSP was matted on Basic Black and adhered to the card base. The floral image was stamped and colored with Stampin' Blends, then a layer of Vellum was added using Adhesive Sheets. Adhesive sheets are perfect for adhering vellum without any obvious glue or Stampin' Seal spots showing. (The vellum softened the image and helped the heat-embossed greeting to stand out more.) It was also matted on Basic Black and popped up on the background DSP. Iridescent Pearls added a little shine and texture.

Measurements

Card base: Basic White 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored/folded at 4-1/4"
DSP: Lovely & Beautiful 3-3/4" x 5"
Mat: Basic Black 3-7/8" x 5-1/8"
Image: Basic White 2-1/2" x 3-1/2"
Mat: Basic Black 2-5/8" x 3-5/8"

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF902

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a color challenge perfect for Valentine's Day:

I cut one of the large Lovely Doilies into quarters and adhered two pieces to the left side of 4" x 5-1/2" Bubble Bath cardstock, which was then adhered to the Poppy Parade card base.

The large heart die was used to cut Flirty Flamingo cardstock, and some scraps of Poppy Parade were used to cut the smaller heart and XO. One of the banner dies included in the die set was used for the Flirty Flamingo-stamped greeting with a cute little Bubble Bath bow added..
