Hi Card-making Friends! I'm back with another post for the Addicted to Stamps and More Blog. Challenge #479 is Any Occasion.
I just finished the Altenew Cozy Comfort Retreat and especially love the pumpkin products in the kit. It's perfect for this time of year. I used the embossing folder for the feature panel. The pumpkins are stamped in VersaMark and embossed with gold. From there, I inked them up using their layering stencil in the set. The leaves are even part of the stamp/stencil package!Wednesday, October 16, 2024

Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #475 - Die Cuts or Stencils
Back with another card for the Addicted to Stamps & More Blog Challenge.
The current challenge uses die cuts and/or stencils. I happen to use both in my card. The card base is one one Taylored Expressions Stencil in Quad stencils and the slippers are mounted on an oval die cut that I stenciled using Taylored Expressions Glitter Grab and foiled with silver foil.

{BYSHC} 2024 Christmas in July Linky Party - Grumpling Hoilday
Another card for the Christmas In July Linky Party.
This one is on the cheeky side with a stamp set called Holiday Grumplings from our July sketch challenge sponsor, Taylored Expressions. I masked the grumpling snowman and stamped him four more times, colored with my Copics, and fussy cut them. A strip of TE's White Glitter Cardstock is used behind the snowmen. Directly behind the panel of snowmen is a giant snowflake from TE's Swirling Snow Foil It collection. I fussy cut around the edges and cut it apart to give a background to the snowman. The last layer is made with a snowflake stencil from my stash, some TE Glitter Grab, and silver Deco Foil. I finshed off with a sentiment from the stamp set alsong with a sentiment strip from my collection. Lots of sparkle and shine on this card!!

{BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party 2024 - Snowflakes Abound
Addicted to Stamps & More: Challenge #473 - Birthdays
I chose to go a little simple for my card using a collection of Pinkfresh Studios gorgeous Fluttering Butterflies Washi Tape with its coordinating die. I used my ScorePal to create a half inch border around the card and finished off with some Pinkfresh Ombre Glitter Drops and a sentiment from Taylored Expressions. The Pinkfresh washi tape makes it easy to create beautiful cards!

{BYSHC} - Christmas in July 2024 Linky Party/Day 2
It's Day 2 of the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Christmas in July Linky Party! My second card uses some products from one of the Linky Party sponsors, Therm-O-Web. At one point Therm-O-Web was the "go-to" company for foiling with toner ink products. I decided to jump down the foiling rabbit hole a few years ago with a minimal investment (although you might not think that if you looked at my collection of toner card fronts and foils! I still don't regret the decision!
My card uses Therm-O-Web's Wild Garden toner card front and gold Decofoil for the card base. I combined it with two inked trees from Taylored Expressions and a deer die cut from Papertrey Ink. I just love using gold and white for Christmas cards. That pop of green in the trees and the band on the "peace" banner is the perfect pop of color.

BYSHC - Christmas in July!
The time has arrived for the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Christmas in July Linky Party! It's a week of linking up Christmas card in the linky gallery on the BYSHC Blog. Our Linky Parties have generous sponsors - so that means a drawing for prizes when the party closes!!
My first card features an array of products from this month's sketch sponsor, Taylored Expressions.
I decided to start this week looking for ways I could "repurpose" everyday things I have in my stash and create something for the theme of Christmas. The card front is today's product "stretch"! It uses a Fall Foliage Foil It Panel and the Fall Foliage Stamp & Stencil Combo from sponsor Taylored Expressions. but with colors that are more of a Christmas combination. I started by running one of the Fall Foliage Foil It Panels through my MiniMinc using a Gold DecoFoil Transfer Sheet from Linky Party sponsor ThermoWeb. I then lined up the sFall Foliage stencils with the foiled panel using a variety of TE ink colors. Finally, I splattered the panel with white goutache.Friday, July 5, 2024
BYSHC Sketch #47
July means a new sketch for the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Blog. This sketch has so many wonderful layers!! I love it!
My card features products from this month's challenge sponsor, Taylored Expressions.
I've had one of TE's Plaid Foil it Panels foiled (along with the reverse image) for a while. It's now retired, but they have such a variety of panels in their collection. The photo captures the gold foiling along with TE's red foil cardstock, which I used for background and for the Alpha Bits die cut letters.
The main image is one of the Gus & Gertie Holiday Adventure stamps, which is colored with my Copics and fussy cut. There is a matching die set, though! The shaker frame is cut from TE's White Glitter Cardstock and filled with their Bits & Pieces - Holiday Sparkly Stars. I used two pieces of TE's Heat Resistant Acetate so the foiling panel is visible through the window.
Keep an eye on the blog for our Christmas in July Linky Party later in July!
