CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Summer Fun Time

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is summer fun times. Now that I'm many decades past the freedom of a full three months with no school, and no work, I look back fondly on the summers we spent at the beach when we lived in Norfolk and Virginia Beach, VA. Daddy was career Navy, so we were always near a coast.

I remember the lighthouse on Assateague Island, home of the ponies (Misty of Chincoteague was my favorite book back then), so it inspired my card today.

After die cutting the lighthouse from Basic White, I used the Stylish Shapes circle die to cut it out, then colored it with Stampin' Blends. Some sparkle was added to the sand with Golden Glow Shimmer brush spatters. It's really subtle, and hard to see in the photos.

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 - CSF 926

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge are these colors:

I stamped the fern image in Basic Gray (stamped off once) and then filled it in with Smoky Slate.

The moths were stamped in Basic Gray and colored with Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends. A little shimmer was added to their wings with the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush, which I forgot to list below. But I did remember to list the rhinestones, lol!

I distressed the edges of the image panel and the mat. Haven't distressed anything in a long time, and I remember now how I liked the shabby chic look way back when. 😊

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Favorite New July Online Exclusive

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is our favorite thing from the upcoming July Online Exclusives release. Well..... there were several (many) things that were vying for favorites, but I managed to narrow it down the one bundle and one specialty designer series paper. But it was a challenge, lol! So let me introduce you to the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle, and the Shimmering Stripes Specialty DSP.

The striped background was made with the Simply Scored board, making the grooves in the cardstock every 1/8" with the smaller ball end of the stylus. To mimic the grooves, I used the Shimmering Stripes Specialty DSP cut with the Stylish Shapes circle die. If you zoom in, you can see the beautiful thin lines of fine silver glitter. It's gorgeous!

The poinsettias were cut from Bubble Bath Pastel Shimmer Paper, with a little Strawberry Slush sponged on to highlight the details. Centers were cut from Golden Glow cardstock which was brushed with the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush before cutting.

The leaves and pine needles were stamped in Shaded Spruce, as was the greeting. I used the Light Bubble Bath Stampin' Blend to fill in the letters before fussy cutting it out. A few rhinestones complement the silver in the DSP.

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.
