CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF936


This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge are beautiful Fall colors!

I used the autumn-looking floral image in the new Everlasting Thanks stamp set for this card. There are spring/summer and holiday theme ones as well!


The image was stamped, turned around and stamped again, then colored with Stampin' Blends. After coloring, it was cut with a Beautifully Celebrated label die and popped up over the Rustic Check embossed background.


A strip of Calypso Coral with Copper Border ribbon was adhered to the label, and the greeting was popped up on top with dimensionals.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Fave New Bundle


Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is our favorite bundle from the new Sep-Dec catalog or the September Online Exclusives. This week it's Radiant Sunflowers* for me!

Today is a dear friend's birthday, so this is the card she received. A few "coming attractions" are featured on the card, the first being the bundle, of course. But also, the gorgeous Sunflower Fields DSP* and the Rustic Check* embossing folder used to emboss the background dotted DSP. The largest square die in Stylish Shape was used on the grid pattern in the DSP to show off the flowers. After adhering the square, I added the Mossy Meadow* gingham ribbon and then adhered it all to the Pecan Pie card base.


The floral bunch was stamped in Crumb Cake on watercolor paper, then colored with Water Painters using ink pressed inside the lids of the ink pads. After using the coordinating die to cut it out, it was popped up on dimensionals and a bow added underneath. The greeting from Addressed to You was stamped on watercolor paper with Mossy Meadow, cut out and also popped up. A few In Color Flat Pearls completed the card.


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 - CSF935

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

 
On a Cajun Craze card base I adhered 4" x 5 1/4" DSP (Autumn Opulence Specialty), with 1/2" x 5 1/4" strips of Wood Grain Wonders DSP centered on it.
 

I used the second largest Nested Essentials rounded rectangle die to cut the copper metallic specialty paper, then embossed it with the leaves folder in the Seasonal Cheer Mini folders. That was adhered to the card with multipurpose glue. The pumpkin/gourds were part of the Autumn Opulence die cuts, and were trimmed down (there was a lot of white outline) before being popped up on the embossed piece. 
 

The greeting from Elegant Leaves was stamped in Cajun Craze on Basic Beige and tucked under the side of the gourds, with a Crumb Cake baker's twine triple bow adhered under the gourds.

* Elegant Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set, Metal Effects Specialty Paper, and Autumn Opulence Specialty DSP available Sep. 1st.
