CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Favorite New In Color 2025

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is our favorite new 2025-2027 In Color. Right now I'd have to say it's Could Cover. It's such a beautiful muted blue gray, it's almost like a neutral. And it pairs well with so many other colors! These photos don't do it justice. It's really more blue than the pictures show.

For this card, I used Early Espresso ink for the leafy branches, stamped on Cloud Cover and fussy cut. The greeting was stamped with the same color and die cut with an Unbounded Love die.

They were all adhered with dimensionals to the Cloud Cover card base, which had first been embossed with one of the Glass & Gardens embossing folders. I used the Cloud Cover Stampin' Write Marker to color the white ribbon for the bow, and added In Color Flat Pearls to embellish.

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 - CSF867

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a sketch, with fun diagonal stripes! It gave me a chance to show off a couple of upcoming new In Colors; Cloud Cover and Secret Sea. Here's the sketch:

I stamped the floral image from Layers of Beauty using Secret Sea ink on Basic Beige cardstock, then used a Blender Pen to pull a little shading into the image.

Two 3/8" strips each of Basic White, Cloud Cover, and Secret Sea were cut and adhered at an angle. After trimming the ends even with the Basic Beige, the greetings (Blooming Phrases, Online Exclusive coming soon) were stamped onto the white strips and it was then adhered to a Secret Sea mat and then onto the card base. Some 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls were added to complete the card.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Embossing Folder Technique

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is techniques using embossing folders. I think a really fun technique that has a wow factor is embossing two tone cardstock, and sanding it to reveal the white core, which is what I did for this card.

A 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Crumb Cake Two Tone Cardstock was first die cut with a Stylish Shapes circle, then embossed with the Dotted Circles folder and sanded lightly with a sanding block. It was matted on 4" x 5-1/4" Basic White and adhered to the Crumb Cake card base.

Then I got to work stamping and die cutting all the Impressions Abloom flowers (with Drusy embellishments added to the small ones) and leaves, and arranging and rearranging them until I was satisfied. The greeting was stamped in Berry Burst.

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.
