CSF Saturday Blog Hop - White on White


Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is White on White. (If you're old enough, you'll remember a song with this title by Danny Williams that was popular in 1964.) 😉


On the card base the embossed layer was popped up on dimensionals, and the second layer was also added with dimensionals. The leafy stem was adhered with multipurpose glue, and the Basic Gray greeting was popped up on mini dimensionals. Measurements are given below.
 
 
Measurements
  • Card base: Basic White 4 1/4" x 11", scored/folded at 5 1/2"
  • Embossed layer: Basic White 3 5/8" x 4 7/8" (Because this piece is wider than the folder, I laid in the embossing folder so only half was embossed, then turned it the other way and embossed the other half.)
  • Top layer: Basic White 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" 
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 - CSF928

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is another catalog CASE, this time on page 41.

For my inspiration, I chose the banners from the Three Banner Punch. I know it's barely past Independence Day, but Halloween will be here before you know it! I was enchanted by the kitties in the Oh My Fright bundle, so that's the bundle I'm using today.


On the Timid Tiger card base was adhered a strip of Crisp Cantaloupe Gingham Gallery DSP. It was topped by a strip of Basic Black that was embossed with the Halloween folder from Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders.


The tree (Basic Gray) was adhered next. The greeting was stamped on Crisp Cantaloupe and punched, then all three banners were adhered with dimensionals. The little bats, cut from Basic Black, had a piece of white glued behind their eyes to make them look extra spooky. The ghost and bats were adhered with dimensionals. After stamping and coloring the "Cat in the Hat", it was die cut and adhered with dimensionals, as well.

Measurements

  • Card base: Timid Tiger 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored/folded at 4 1/4"
  • DSP: Crisp Cantaloupe 3 3/8" x 5 1/2"
  • Embossed strip: Basic Black 2 1/2" x 5 1/2"

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - 250th Red, White, & Blue!


Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is celebrating 250 years of the USA! Three cheers for the Red, White, and Blue!!!

I have to confess right up front that I used retired dies to cut the 250. I didn't have anything current to use! 😶 I cut the numbers into the Real Red Perennial Postage square die cut, and backed it with Basic White to make it stand out.


The second largest Perennial Postage rectangle die was used to cut Real Red and Basic White, onto which the star from Service Essentials was stamped in Night of Navy (stamped off). Some puffy stars were added, along with little gold stars using the tiny star die in the Service Essentials bundle with gold foil.


I hope your celebrations are safe, and you aren't suffering with this blasted heat! 😳
