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.

Measurements

Card base: Golden Glow 4" x 10 1/2", scored/folded at 5 1/4"
DSP: Moonlit Flora 4" x 4 3/8"
Mat: Mossy Meadow 4" x 4 5/8"

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Summer Fun Time

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is summer fun times. Now that I'm many decades past the freedom of a full three months with no school, and no work, I look back fondly on the summers we spent at the beach when we lived in Norfolk and Virginia Beach, VA. Daddy was career Navy, so we were always near a coast.

I remember the lighthouse on Assateague Island, home of the ponies (Misty of Chincoteague was my favorite book back then), so it inspired my card today.

After die cutting the lighthouse from Basic White, I used the Stylish Shapes circle die to cut it out, then colored it with Stampin' Blends. Some sparkle was added to the sand with Golden Glow Shimmer brush spatters. It's really subtle, and hard to see in the photos.

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 - CSF 926

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

I stamped the fern image in Basic Gray (stamped off once) and then filled it in with Smoky Slate.

The moths were stamped in Basic Gray and colored with Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends. A little shimmer was added to their wings with the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush, which I forgot to list below. But I did remember to list the rhinestones, lol!

I distressed the edges of the image panel and the mat. Haven't distressed anything in a long time, and I remember now how I liked the shabby chic look way back when. 😊
