CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Black & White

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is to use only Black & White on our projects. I do think B&W with other colors, like yellow, red, or turquoise, can be striking, but so can just B&W by itself!

I started by die cutting the blossoms from Impressions Abloom and stamping the centers in black. I used the Fine-tip Glue Pen to make the centers shiny, and set them aside to dry. While waiting for them to dry, I adhered the Irresistible Designs Specialty DSP to the black card base and die cut the leaves.

The greeting label from Sentimental Framing Dies was cut first and the greeting stamped on after. That die is a solid piece, which would have made lining up the greeting difficult if I had stamped first, then cut. The black mat behind it is the center of the next-largest die and fits perfectly. Then all I had to do was arrange the flowers and leaves over a few loops of Baker's Twine!

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 - CSF876

This month for the Thursday challenges, the challenge team will be CASEing the catalog! We can use the colors, or the layout, or the stamps/embellishments, or any combination thereof. Today's Create With Stamping Friends challenge is this card on page 110:

I really liked the cool colors and the layout, but didn't have the stamp set. Plus, I couldn't get a good image using the clear blocks to stamp the colors, so I chose to use cardstock embossed with the Mini Corrugated folder instead.

For the beverage, I fussy cut the glass of lemonade from the DSP, and used a small paint brush to brush glue from the Fine-tip Glue Pen bottle over it for that frosty glass look. The lemon slice was stamped in Daffodil Delight with Lemon Lime Twist sponged around the edge before being die cut, and the Iridescent Striped Trim mimics the striped DSP in the inspiration photo.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Summer Flowers

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Summer Flowers. That is one of my favorite things about summer - the bounty of beautiful blooms! (It sure as heck isn't the heat and humidity! 😜) I love roses, but don't love growing them because they can be so persnickety. But paper roses are easy peasy!

I'm using the Charming Day bundle once again. There is so much to love about it! It will be available online on Tuesday, July 1st. I die cut the roses in Basic White and colored them with Strawberry Slush, Pretty in Pink, and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends. They were adhered to the Basic White layer that was embossed and then die cut. That layer is popped up on Strawberry Slush Flower Garden Foil matted on Basic Black.

The popped up greeting was die cut with an Unbounded Love die, and a Strawberry Slush "faux bow" added.

Measurements

Card Base: Basic White 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored/folded t 4-1/4"
Mat: Basic Black 4" x 5-1/4"
Foil: Strawberry Slush 3-7/8" x 5-1/8"
Embossed layer: Basic White 3-1/4" x 4-3/4"
