Thursday Challenge - CSF863

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a great sketch! Here's the sketch:

There were several ways I could have gone about creating it. I thought about using embossed cardstock for the four rectangles, or two embossed and two DSP. I like the linen look of the some of the DSP patterns in the Floral Delight pack, so I went with that.


It makes a nice simple background that doesn't distract from the floral image that was fussy cut and popped up on a Spotlight on Nature die cut circle, which was popped up on the card. The greeting is also popped up. Lot's of popping going on! The embellishments are Peach Pie In Color Resin Dots - there is Peach Pie in the flower.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Easter Wishes


Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Easter. The rabbits in Storybook Friends are so adorable that I just had to use this dapper gentleman with the bow tie.


Pool Party seems to be showing up a lot on my craft table these days. The Pool Party gingham vellum cut with the Perennial Postage die made the perfect backdrop for the Pool Party ombre glimmer frame.


Mr. Bunny was colored with Pecan Pie and Medium Natural Tones Stampin' Blends, and his bow tie is Pool Party, of course. The Summer Splash Shimmer Gems are darn close to Pool Party, so I added them for a little more shimmery shine.

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 - 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.
