Inspired By...Leggings

 Hello everyone we have a fun New Challenge this week for Inspired by...#IB359 this week it's Leggings and we have a fun sketch too.  Also, if you post on social media, please tag @inspired_by_challenge

I had so much fun with this challenge.  I was inspired by the theme leggings and sketch.  I used a couple of different stamp set and pattern papers from my stash.  I even did some masking and fussy cutting.  I started out with Penny Black Stamps Winter Walk Stamp.  There is this girl walking her dog so I masked to only stamp her pants.  I fussy cut them out and colored them with a black marker to look like black leggings.  

I then used Halloween pattern paper from Spellcast 6x6 paper pad by Pink Paislee and cut papers to mimic the sketch.  I also ink blended because I was first going to make a Halloween card since the photo shows Halloween Leggings.  I decided not too but still kept my ink blended cardstock and stamped sentiments from Picket fence Studios Hey Girl using black ink. I love this mini stamp set.  I felt these leggings went with these sentiments LOL.  I glued everything to a gray cardstock panel 4 x 5 1/4 and then glued everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  

I had fun making this card and hope it inspired you to try this challenge it's so much fun and you can be announced and your card shown that you are the winner of the challenge.  So great.

Christmas Card And Tag Using A Colorful Life Designs October Release

 Hello everyone.  I have a card and tag duo today for A Colorful Life Designs for October.  I used the New Starry Fa La La 6x6 Stencil and Holly Frame 6x6 Stencil so much fun.  Use VonFan10 to save.  Without further ado here is my card and tag.

On white cardstock, I ink blended the Holly Frame Stencil with Hero Hues ink in Key Lime Fizz for the leaves and Gina K Designs Fired Brick for the berries.  This stencil is so very pretty I love the frame design.  Next, I used the Starry Fa La La with Honey Bee Stamps Intense Black ink for the center of the frame. I love this stencil too. I cut my background to be 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I then glued it to a A2 card base and added some green card bling in Crystal Opaque Groovy Green.

I made a matching tag or bookmark.  I used the same inks and stencils on a Ranger Craft Tag Manilla Heavyweight cardstock that is 6 1/4 x 3 1/4.  This time I used the Starry Fa La Stencil first and then inked the Holly Frame Stencil over my words.  I added some crinkle ribbon in red and green and added some card bling in Crystal Opaque Groovy Green.  

That finishes my card and tag duo I hope you like them I will be back with Novembers Release!

I used Sponsor Kat Scrappiness today for my Holiday Card.  I love theseLayered Christmas Ornament dies.  I only used 4 but you get more in the die set.  I love the strings with the tiny bows too.  Easy and fun to batch a bunch of of cards for the Holidays. I also used some Faux glitter paper from the Glitter Galore Paper Pad 6x6 and I used some other glitter paper, so lots of sparkle.  The pattern paper for my background is from the Who-Ville Paper Pad 6x6 that I cut out using a retired A2 embossed rectangle die from Kat Scrappiness.  I love layering dies they are so much fun!

I stamped a sentiment from the Reindeer Games Stamp set and glued everything to a A2 red card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I used some embellishments from the Kat Scrappiness Olive Grove Glitter Sequin Mix those are kinda my favorite they are sparkly.  My sentiment was popped up with foam tape and that finishes my card.

Inspired By...Cookies

Hello everyone. I have a card today for our New Inspired By... Challenge #IB359  Cookies is our theme and we have a fun sketch for you too.  Don't forget to tag inspired_by_challenge on the socials. #inspiredbychallenges

Without further ado here is my card...

Here is how I was inspired-by the inspiration photo up above. I really wanted a stamp set with Halloween cookies or cupcakes and I didn't own any of those unfortunately. I did have some Halloween stickers from Doodlebug Design and a Bake It Merry baking die set from The Greetery.  I cut out the cookies in white cardstock and ink blended them in black and orange and left some white like the inspiration photo.  I cut out some pattern paper like the cupcake wrappers from the photo.

I cut out my baking tray with gray and vellum cardstock.  I also ink blended a rolling pin.  My sentiment comes from Kat Scrappiness Simple Sentiments Holiday Edition that I had in my stash and cut out with the coordinating die that cuts tons of sentiments at one time.  I popped up my sentiment and added some Halloween House Sprinkles also from Kat Scrappiness and glued everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I love how it came out.  

I hope I inspired you to look through your stash and create something for this challenge.

{BYSHC} Falling For The Holidays Day 6 Linky Party

 Hello everyone.  Can you believe today is Day 6? of the {BYSHC} Falling For The Holidays Linky Party.  I'm having so much fun seeing Joyful Holiday Cards.  Card must be Christmas, Winter, Holiday, Yuletide, Hanukah, etc...  Use graphic and hashtag #byshcffth2025lp

Without further ado here is my card...

On my card today, I used sponsors Not 2 Shabby Shop, A Colorful Life Designs(Use VonFan10), Jaded Blossom, and Therm O Web.  You probably know by now that I love this pattern paper from the Not 2 Shabby Shop called Frosted & Fabulous Paper Pad 6x6.  I guess there will be many blue Holiday cards this year and I'm okay with that. I cut my paper to be 4 x 5 1/4.

I used a Small Poinsettia die set from Jaded Blossom with dark blue, and white cardstock.  I layered it with liquid glue and I added foam tape from Therm O web for the center.  I glued my leaves and I bended my flower and leaves to give it some dimension.  I glued everything to a A2 white card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I glued a Merry Christmas sentiment strip a little wonky oops but that's okay. Sentiment was gifted to me and I added some Metallic Silver Card Bling from A Colorful Life Designs.  I usually don't put Gold and Silver together but why not?  I love how this simple card turned out.

I hope you link up your cards let's try and beat our last record!

 Hello everyone.  I can't believe it is Day 5 already for the {BYSHC} Falling For The Holidays Linky Party. I guess I'm having too much fun! All cards must be Christmas, Holiday, Winter, Haunkkah, Yuletide, etc. Use Graphic and hashtag #byshcffth2025lp

Without further ado here is my card...

Ohhh how I love this deer from Sponsor Unity Stamp Co. called For You Deer.  It's one of their clear stamps.  I also used the Background of the Month stamp for September 2025 called Merry Multipack. There are different border pieces to customize your background. I started out with my background first and grabbed some A2 red panel cardstock.  I placed my rubber border stamps onto my panel to my liking and used my stamping platform and black ink to stamp my background.

U stamped my deer on white cardstock and with Memento tuxedo ink and colored it in with my copic markers.  I used the Deckle and Stitches Nesting Dies also from Unity Stamp Co. to cut out a kraft cardstock and my deer.  I used a strip of red to place on my kraft deckle die-cut.  I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set and used a smaller nesting die to cut it out.  I then glued everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and my deer was popped up with Therm-O-web foam tape.  I love how this card came out and love how easy it was.

{BYSHC} Falling For The Holidays Linky Party Day 2

Hello everyone. It's Day 2 for Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Falling For The Holidays Linky Party.  Are you having fun?  We have so many amazing sponsors and I am happy to be a sponsor this time.  Cards must be Christmas Yuletide, Winter, Hunukah, etc.  Use Graphic down below and hashtag #byshcffth2025lp

                        

On my Mini Slimline card today, I used Sponsors Pink & Main, Kat Scrappiness, Lawn Fawn, Taylored Expressions, Therm O Web, and Twiddlers Nook.

I started out with Taylored Expressions Mini Slim Diagonal Stripes Cutting Plate.  I used this die with Kat Scrappiness red colored Faux Glitter Paper from the Glitter Galore Paper Pack 6x6. That's one of my favorite faux glitter paper packs. I also used this die 4-5 times with scrap cardstock to have enough room to make a shaker card.  I used acetate packaging from my stash and used these cute pink and red peppermint clay pieces from Twiddlers Nook.  I glued all to a pre-made Taylored Expressions Mini Slimline card base in Sugar Cookie cardstock.

How cute are these critters?  They are from Pink & Main's Stamp of The Month September 2025.  I stamped them on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo ink using my stamping platform and my Pressure pal from twiddlers Nook.  I colored them with my markers and then used the coordinating dies and my tape from Therm O Web to cut them out.  I also stamped a sentiment and cut it out with my paper trimmer.  I then used my foam tape from Therm O Web to pop my critters and sentiment up.  I love how it came out.
