Some stenciled Christmas cards

 It's Day 6 of the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Spring link up.  

Today I have three cards to share.  They are all made with one layering stencil set from Taylored Expressions.  This is a triple slim stencil set that gives you three cards at one time.

I added some gold splatter to the card base behind the poinsettia card front.  On the other two cards, I added some different colors and sizes of pearls for embellishments.  It's really nice to do one bit of stenciling and end up with three different cards!

Build Your Holiday Stash Spring Link up - Day 5

Just a few more days left for the Build Your Holiday Stash Spring linkup!   

I made this card for Day 5 of the linkup, but didn't quite get it finished yesterday, so it's a day late.

I used two older Lawn Fawn stamp sets for this one, and fussy cut the images after coloring with Copic markers.  The background was heat embossed in white for the stars and snow.  I added some little clay Christmas pinwheels to the roof line of the house.  

Another snowman Christmas card

 I made a second card with the Pink & Main/Stamptember snowman set.  This one is for the Sparkles Christmas Card challenge #159 of "non traditional colors" and the Build Your Holiday Stash Spring linkup.

The snowman and cup image was colored with Olo markers.  I added some white gel pen polka dots to the cup.  The background frame die is from Reverse Confetti.  I used foam adhesive to pop up the snowman image and tucked some large snowflake sequins around the edges of the inside frame.  I love these bright colors, with the pink, lime green and turquoise with the red.  

Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers - Spring Link up Day 4

 Another day in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Spring Linkup!

I used a Pink & Main stamp/die set for my card today.  (This was a collaboration with Simon Says Stamp for their Stamptember event.)  I just loved the little marshmallow snowmen in this set!

The snow people were all colored with Olo markers.  The background die is from Scrapbook and Cards Today and the snowbank frame die is from Mama Elephant.  I added some clear Stickles to the snowdrifts and some foam adhesive to the top parts of the snow people for a little dimension.

Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers - Spring Linkup Day #3

 I missed posting yesterday, so I have two cards today for the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Spring Linkup.  

I'm hoping to use products from various sponsors of the Spring Linkup, so today's cards were made with Concord & 9th's "All the Merrys" stamp and die set.

These are slimline cards, so they fit in a business size envelope.  There are two "merry" stamps in the set, one is an outline and the other is filled in.  For the card on the left, I stamped the filled in images in red, then stamped and heat embossed the outline overtop in gold.  Christmas was also stamped and heat embossed in gold, and then I added some metallic gold splatters.  For the card on the right, I used the "merry" die to cut the word from red foil paper.  The tree, garland and star were cut from foil paper also, and the background was dry embossed with snowflakes for some texture.

Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Spring Linky Party

 The Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers is hosting their Spring Linky Party, with lots of inspiration and prizes over the next week.  

I used a couple of my favorite Christmas stamps on today's cards.  The pine bough background is from Unity Stamps and the sentiment/die is from Taylored Expressions.  I decided to play around a little with different embossing powders, so I ended up making three cards.  The card on the left is a green/gold embossing powder, the center card is gold pearl and the right is green glitter embossing powder.  I have a bad habit of buying embossing powders and then neglecting to use them, so it was fun to try out these different colors (but also a bit messy, lol!)

Freshly Made Sketches #630

 Here is the current sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

Here's my card from the sketch.  I used a small rectangle die to cut pieces leftover from a scrapbook page and then added a stamped sentiment and a floral ephemera piece.  Since I already had the stamped sentiment in my stash, this card came together very quickly!
