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.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - National Relaxation Day

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is National Relaxation Day. I didn't even know that was a thing! Of course, now that hubby and I are retired, relaxing is pretty much an every day occurrence. We highly recommend it! *wink*

I used the arch dies to cut the window and window frame overlooking the sea, then embossed the piece with the plaid folder. The window frame was adhered after embossing. The chair was stamped in Secret Sea, then colored using a Blender Pen to pick up ink from the lid of the ink pad.

The book and cup were stamped in Basic Gray, and colored with Stampin' Blends.

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 - CSF934

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a lovely color combination:

To the card base was adhered the Softly Woven 3D* embossed Golden Glow panel, followed by the Golden Glow gingham DSP. Measurements are given below.

I used the Fragrant Layers stamp set that is on the Last Chance list, stamping with the Basic Black Hybrid ink, and then coloring with Stampin' Blends and a Garden Green Watercolor Pencil and Blender Pen (since we don't have Garden Green Blends). That's the benefit of the hybrid ink - you can color with either alcohol based or water based inks!

After coloring the image, it was fussy cut and popped up on the card with dimensionals. The greeting was stamped on the banner and tucked underneath (also popped up).

Measurements

Card base: Basic White 4 1/4" x 11", scored/folded at 5 1/2"
Embossed layer: Golden Glow 2 1/4" x 5 1/8"
DSP layer: Golden Glow (smaller gingham pattern) 2 7/8" x 3 3/4"

* Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder available Sep. 1st
