Saturday Blog Hop – Fall Flowers

November 1, 2025 By Connie | 2 Comments

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop. This week’s challenge is “Fall Flowers”!

CHARMING DAY

This bundle is still one of my favorites! I especially love cutting this flower die cut from Basic White cardstock and coloring with Blending Brushes like I did here!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was embossed with the Peaceful Greenery Embossing Folder (I think this is one of the BEST Embossing Folders!) and added to the front.
The flower cluster was cut with the Charming Day Die from Basic White cardstock and colored with Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Old Olive Inks using Blending Brushes.
Two stem branches were cut from Pecan Pie cardstock and brushed with Pecan Pie Ink.
All were added to the front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The Charming Day greeting was stamped with Pecan Pie on 3/4 x 3 strip of Basic White cardstock and the end cut at an angle. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A trio of Cajun Craze & Gold Dots were added to the background.

Don’t these fall colors POP against the white background? OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

Saturday Blog Hop – Color My World

August 2, 2025 By Connie | 2 Comments

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop. This month we will be featuring song titles with colors in them! This week’s theme is “Color My World”…we are choosing to feature our FAVORITE Stampin’ Up! color!

CHARMING DAY

I wonder why I even came up with this week’s theme…it was SO hard to just choose ONE color out of all the awesome Stampin’ Up! colors! But I narrowed it down to Lemon Lime Twist as my favorite color overall. I was SO happy when Stampin’ Up! brought this color back into the lineup from a previous In Color platform! I couldn’t find any Lemon Lime Twist designer paper that I wanted to use, so created my own from black & white designer paper!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Lemon Lime Twist cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Botanical Textures Designer Paper was colored with Lemon Lime Twist Ink using a Blending Brush. It was added to the front.
The banner was cut from Basic White cardstock using the Party Banners Die and added to the front.
The Charming Day flower was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Lemon Lime Twist and Timid Tiger Stampin’ Blends (that’s my favorite In Color right now, too!) It was cut with the Charming Day die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Two leaf branches were cut from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock using the Die and tucked under the flower, adhering with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The Charming Day greeting was stamped along the top with Memento Black Ink.
A trio of Iridescent Faceted Gems were added to the background.

So summery looking! OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge! For each Thursday in July, we pick a different sample from Stampin’ Up’s! Annual Catalog to use as our inspiration. We are not copying the card but using it to inspire our creation…maybe we use the same set or the colors or the layout or some combination of all the above…it is fun seeing where the inspiration piece will take each of the designers! Here’s this week’s inspiration:

CHARMING DAY

The flowers in Charming Day are SO pretty and I immediately thought of that stamp set when I saw this layout! And the coordinating designer paper is GORGEOUS!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Petunia Pop cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Floral Charm DSP was added on top.
The reverse Night of Navy floral side was cut to four pieces 1-3/4 x 1-3/4 and added to the center.
The small Charming Day flower was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Petunia Pop, Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends. It was punched with the 2″ Circle Punch and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The Charming Day greeting was stamped with Pretty Peacock Ink on 1/2 x 2 strip of Basic White cardstock and brushed with Petunia Pop Ink using a Blending Brush. The ends were cut at an angle and added to the front.
A trio of Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots were added to the background.

Again, I focused on using the layout for today’s Case the Catalog card! Check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Cloud Cover cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was embossed with the Birchwood Embossing Folder and added to the front.
Two of the leaf branches were cut from Cloud Cover cardstock using the Die and added to the front.
The small floral image was stamped twice with Cloud Cover Ink and cut with the Dies, then added over the branches.
The greeting was stamped with Cloud Cover Ink on 3/4 x 3 strip of Basic White cardstock and tucked under the flowers.
A trio of 2025-27 In Color Flat Pearls were added to the center of the flowers and the background.
