Thursday Challenge - CSF862

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge are the bright, cheerful colors of Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist, and Summer Splash. These are such happy colors, and make a wonderful birthday balloon bouquet!

The Mini Corrugated embossed background measures 4" x 5 1/4". For the DSP banners, I used a Stylish Shapes die and cut each color twice so they could be pieced to make the length I needed.

After stamping, coloring, and die cutting the balloons, they were popped up on an Everyday Arches die cut, then the whole thing was popped up again on the card front. For the bow, I unraveled 8" of Summer Splash ribbon and used half on the bow, and then added some In Color Resin Dots for fun.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Wishing for Spring

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Wishing for Spring. I've been doing that a lot lately! In fact, I have most of our cool weather seeds sown, and some of them are exactly what's on today's card.😊

I started with a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Pool Party and used the fourth smallest Everyday Arches die to make the opening, then embossed it with the Exposed Brick folder. Next, Pool Party and Granny Apple Green ink were blended on white cardstock and the same die was used to cut the inside piece. A bit of tape held them together while they were adhered to the card base.

Then the fun part began! The lettuce, beets, and peas were stamped, colored with Blends and die cut. I laid the lettuce and beets at the bottom to figure out where to stamp the greeting, then glued them in a string and popped them up on dimensionals at the bottom of the arch. The popped up peas fit perfectly into the curve at the top of the arch! And no garden is complete without some bees - thank you Tiny Bee Trinkets!

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.

Thursday Challenge - CSF861

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a sketch and I was going to use embossed cardstock for the square behind the greeting. But after seeing the beautiful textures in the Woven Textures DSP, I went for that instead. There are 3 sheets each of four double-sided designs and for once, I love both sides of them all!

Here's the sketch we are using this week:

The bottom piece of DSP measures 4" x 4" and was adhered to the Pecan Pie card base. The top piece of DSP (3 5/8" x 3 5/8") was matted on on Early Espresso (3 3/4" x 3 3/4") and adhered on top.

The greeting was stamped with Early Espresso on the light colored DSP (1 1/2" x 4"), and banner ends were trimmed. It was glued to a 1/2" x 4 1/4" strip of Basic White and then popped up on mini dimensionals.

This card would work for anyone, but I think it has a more masculine feel to it. Just for giggles, when I was finished with the main card, I added some Country Flowers die cuts (Garden Green and Petunia Pop) to make it more feminine, and switched out the Neutrals sequins for Petunia Pop Resin Dots.
