Challenge Your Stash

 This month is a fun challenge for you Challenge Your Stash group on Splitcoaststampers.  Jeanette is our hostess for the month of October and she came up with a great challenge for us.  She challenged us to make a non-Halloween card using colors typically associated with halloween.

For my card I used papers from Doodlebug "Hey Pumpkin".  I thought they would be fun for a birthday card.  The stamp set I used was from Stampin Up called Simply Sketched.  I also used Stampin Up Stitched Nested Label Dies.

This is a fun fold card that I made.  You can see here how it opens up.

Thanks to Jeanette for a great challenge this month.

PIP Challenges #2543

 I have a fun project for Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges this week.  Our sponsor this week is Lawn Fawn.  I just love their stamps.  They are so fun to color and make in to a scene.

My project today is Treat boxes just in time for Halloween.  I used the goodie bag die to make the bag

I started by stamping the images from the stamp set "Spooky Village" off on copic friendly paper and coloring them with my copic markers.  I then used the matching dies to cut the images out.  I then started to form my little scene on scrap halloween papers I had.  I cut the square 2 3/4".  The fence die is an old one from Stampin Up Halloween Scenes Edgelits.  The moon is 1 1/4" circle and I used the bats on the stamp set on the moon.  The sentiment is also from that same stamp set.

I made 35 of these bags for a crop I am going to on Saturday.  We always have so much fun at this crop.

As you can see there were alot of pieces to put together but I had fun making these bags.  Now I need to fill all the little boxes with candy.

Thanks to Lawn Fawn for being our sponsor this week.  I have my eye on their new winter 2025 release.  Can't wait to get my hands on the new stamps and dies.

BYSHC Falling for the Holiday Linky Party

 I am sad to say that today is the last day for the BYSHC Falling for the Holiday Linky Party.  I have had so much fun making Christmas cards.  I really feel that I have most of my cards made.

I had this cute little digital bird on paper and thought I would color it up and make it in to a Christmas card. This image is from Polkadoodles.  I printed this image and colored it with my copic markers.

So that's it for my Christmas cards.  It sure has been fun making these cards.  Thanks so much to BYSHC Falling for the Holiday Linky Party for getting my cards started.

BYSHC Falling for the Holiday Linky Party

 I am winding down my Christmas card making.  Thanks to BYSHC Falling for the Holiday Linky Party I have a nice start to having my Christmas cards completed.

For my card today I am using the "Holiday Haul" stamp set.  I just love this truck.  I stamped the image and used the matching die to cut it out.  I made some white hills and used a Poppy Stamps tree die to use in the background.  

This is the last of my Newton's Nook Designs cards.  It was fun pulling stamps out of my stash and using them.  Sad that we can only use them once a year.

Thanks again to BYSHC Falling for the Holiday Linky Party for inspiring us to get Christmas cards made.

BYSHC Falling For The Holiday Linky Party

 So far so good in making a holiday card every day for the  BYSHC Falling for the Holiday Linky Party.  It feels good to get so many Christmas cards done early.

For Day 6 I am using "Heartfelt Holidays" by Newtons Nook Designs.  I stamped the image and colored with my copic markers.  I then used the Heartfelt Heart Die to cut the image out.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

I went ahead and used the color challenge over all Inky Paws Challenge by Newtons Nook Designs.

So I have 2 more cards to make to meet my goal to have a card every day for the BYSHC Falling For the Holiday Linky Party.

BYSHC Falling For The Holiday Linky Party

 I can't believe that it is Day 5 of the BYSHC Falling for the Holiday Linky Party.   I am feeling such a sense of accomplishment by getting Christmas cards done early.  This is definitely a first for me.

For my card today I am using Newton Nook Designs "Festive Fawns" stamp set.  Can you tell Newton's Nook is one of my favorite stamp companies?  This stamp set is retired but it is still one of my favorite stamp sets.  I just love the adorable deer in the set.  

After stamping the deer and sled of packages on Neenah Classic Crest paper, I colored it with my copic markers.  I used the colors in the Inky Paws Challenge this month.

After coloring the image with my copic markers, I used the matching die to cut it out.  The background die is "Aspen Trees" by Stampin Up.  I stamped the sentiment and used a scallop oval punch to cut it out.

So another Christmas card done and back to the drawing board to make a few more this week.

BYSHC Falling For The Holiday Linky Party

 I am having so much fun making Christmas cards.  So nice to get a jump start on my cards.  I have made another card for the BYSHC Falling For the Holidays 2025 Linky Party.

For my card today I am using the stamp set "Cup of Cocoa" from Newtons Nook Designs.  I recently purchased the Postage Stamp Layout Die from Newtons Nook and thought it would be fun to use with this stamp set.  Who doesn't love a fun cup of cocoa?

I am also entering this card in this months challenge over At Newtons Nook Inky Paws Chalenge which is a color challenge.

Check back tomorrow for another fun Christmas card I am making.  Thanks to BYSH Cardmakers for getting me motivated to make my Christmas cards early.
