CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Spooky Things

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is spooky things, and it doesn't get much more spooky than a graveyard at night with ghosts rising from the ground!

The Smoky Slate background was embossed with Swirls of Magic then adhered to the card base. After heat embossing the greeting on Basic Gray, I used an Everyday Arches die to create the headstone, then added some ghosts rising from the ground.

I don't think this card really qualifies as spooky, because those ghosts look too friendly, lol. 👻

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 - CSF942

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a color challenge that perfectly suits the Thanks & Giving stamp set.

The wreath image and greeting were stamped in Early Espresso rather than Basic Black Hybrid, for a slightly less bold look. I used the dark shades of the Stampin' Blends to color the wreath, which was then cut with a Spotlight on Nature die.

The smaller Cajun Craze banner was split and adhered behind the white banner to make it look like one long piece.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Spotlight on Metallics

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is highlighting metallics, and we have a wonderful assortment from which to choose! I went all-in on the shiny stuff on this card, as you can see.

The poinsettia was created using Timeless Metallic Specialty Paper. After die-cutting the bits, I left them in the dies, removed the Thin Die Adapter, and used the Impressions Plate to really impress the veins into the petals and leaves. It makes a big difference in the finished product!

That lovely silver embossed background is from the Timeless Celebrations Hybrid Embossing Folder, an Online Exclusive coming next month. I have lots of ideas for that one! 😊

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.
