CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Cards for Guys

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is guy cards. The Gears & Textures bundle is great for the gear-heads that you may know. (And I may be related to a few, lol.)

I tried something with the new Impressions Plate, and it worked! I used the Gears & Textures dies with the plate to create an embossed background, and really like the way it turned out. If you want to try it, and have the Impressions Plate, this is the "sandwich" to use, building from the bottom up:

Base Plate #1 (platform)
Die Plate #2
Dies cutting edge face up
Cardstock laid on top of dies
Impressions Plate (the black rubbery one)
Specialty Plate #4

After embossing the Very Vanilla with the dies, I stamped some of the texture images and rubbed a little Lost Lagoon with sponge daubers to highlight the details. Then I cut three of the gears from the shimmer paper and adhered them over their impressed places.

That was matted on the Lost Lagoon striped pattern from Everyday Essentials DSP and then adhered to the card base. I added the birthday greeting from Phrases & Frames and a couple Lost Lagoon Matte Dots, and it was finished.

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF922

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge are happy, bright colors that made my mind immediately go to balloons, so the Balloon Festoon Bundle got some love:

For this card I cut the balloons in the three colors of cardstock, but also colored vellum with Stampin' Blends to make the translucent balloons.

The background confetti and stars were stamped to add to the festive feel. And, wouldn't you know it, the smaller Wonderful Stars Puffy Stickers exactly matched some of the stars, for more fun!

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Animal Kingdom

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is animals! Cutest Crew has the most adorable kitties, doggos, and feathered friends that it was hard to choose an animal for my card. But, since I have seven cats and only two dogs, the cats won. (Cats rule, dogs drool, if my feline overlords are to be believed, lol.)

I paired the kitties with the greenery patterns in the Moonlit Flora DSP because they're frolicking with butterflies, so they must be outside, right?

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.
