CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF-920

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge are the colors:

I thought they'd make a great guy card, which I never seem to have enough of. Petal pink is more of a pale peach than a true pink, so I think it works!


I cut an arch in the Crumb Cake layer and embossed it with the plaid folder. A little Petal Pink was brushed on the card base to mimic an evening sunset glow behind the arch and Peaceful Pine leaves. The smallest arch was used for the greeting, with a bit of Crumb Cake baker's twine tied around.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - You Are What You Eat


Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is You Are What You Eat. There is a serious shortage of food-themed stamps in my collection, so I was at a loss as to what I could make for this theme. Then I remembered the cake stamp in the Words & Wishes Bundle - saved by the cake! I'm not overly fond of cake, I'd rather have cookies or something savory. But I like this cake, since it saved my hide! 😂


I started with a Pool Party base and added a Pretty Peacock layer. On top of that was added the embossed Basic White layer. And on top of that was adhered the die cut layer which had a little Pool Party blended on. The birthday greeting and confetti were die cut and glued on with multipurpose glue. The cake was colored and die cut, but the candle had to be fussy cut. The cake is popped up on dimensionals.

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF919


This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a sketch, and I used three different packs of DSP to make it!


I started by adhering the layers (measurements given below), then coloring the bouquet image in the Artisan Sketched Garden pack and fussy cutting it. After cutting some Basic White with the medium dotted scallop die, I stamped the greeting and then popped it on dimensionals on the card.
 

The flower vase was also popped up, and a gold striped bow was added along with Calypso Coral Pearls of Beauty to match the Calypso Coral vase.
