BYSHC - Falling for the Holidays Linky Party/Day 2

 Back on Day 2 of the 

Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers 
2024 Falling for the Holidays Linky Party.

My card uses products from Waffle Flower, one of our Linky Party sponsors.  I was fortunate enough to win the Waffle Flower prize from our last Linky Party, and there was no doubt I would choose the Postage Collage suite of products with my prize!

  

The background is created using random ink blending with their Knitted Background Stencil. The main images are from the Postage Collage Snowman Stencil and cut out using the Postage Collage Die.  I love how versatile the Postage Collage Suite is in creating cards.  Don't those snowmen look like they could be stamps from the USPS?!? I die cut the background using an older layering die from another one of our regular sponsors - Gina Marie Designs. 

I hope you make time to play along with the BYSHC Linky Party.  You can find inspiration in the gallery and a list of sponsors as well.  Remember to share your makes in the BYSC FB Group, and Instagram using the hashtag #fallingfortheholidays2024byshclp too!  Thanks for stopping by my blog.

BYSHC - Falling for the Holidays 2024 Linky Party

 It's that time of year again!! Fun, Inspiration, and PRIZES with the 

Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Linky Party!

My card uses some great new products from Pinkfresh Studios.  I took their class at the beginning of October and this was one of the cards we made.  I am crazy about the jar and the greenery dies, too. The fun greetings with coordinating dies came with the kit, too.  I think Pinkfresh will be releasing some of the products for the holidays.

I hope you can make time to join us this week and enter your cards in the Linky Party gallery!  There will be a trainload of inspiration and fun all week - plus you get a great the chance to get a headstart on holiday cards! Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Addicted to Stamps & More - Challenge #479/Any Occasion

 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!

Hope you can join the fun on the Addiicted to Stamps & More Blog.  You have two weeks before the next challenge.  Thanks for stopping by my blog.

In kindness, Cathy
