CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Flowers For Fall


Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is fall flowers, which to me means sunflowers and chrysanthemums.


I used the Sunflowers 3D embossing folder to emboss 4" x 5 1/4" vellum, which was adhered to the card base. A 1 1/8" strip of Sunflower Fields DSP was added to the bottom. A Stampin' Blend was used to draw stripes on the Lost Lagoon cardstock before cutting out the vases. Inked up sponge daubers added a little shading to the die cut flowers and leaves.


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 - CSF939

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

 
When I saw the squares, the Stitched Stocking bundle immediately came to mind. And what better way to show off the square design dies than the shimmering Timeless Metallic Specialty DSP? I used all three colors on the card.
 

And, I tried the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies for the first time, too. I hadn't planned to.... I was going to heat emboss the greeting with gold embossing powder, but my heat tool died! 😢 I guess I'll need to use the Stampin' Rewards I've been saving and get a new one.
 

This is another card that didn't use any stamping. Even the gold stars are part of the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies! 👍

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Happy Fall Y'All!


Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is FALL! The leaves may be changing around here, but the weather sure isn't cooperating. It's still too darn hot and muggy. I'm looking forward to chilly evenings, sweaters, and hot cider, how about you?


This week's card doesn't use any stamps at all! The focal point is a hot foil leaf from Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Dies. It was foiled on Pumpkin Pie Two-tone Cardstock, and a little Cajun Craze was brushed on with a Blending Brush to mimic a leaf changing from orange to russet. (Come on cold weather - that will help the fall colors!)

It was layered on three Tile Garden die cuts over the embossed background. That greeting is from the Greetings For All ephemera pack. Lots of good greetings in that pack! 


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.
