The Outlawz Festive Friday Challenge ~ October 2024

Hi Crafty Friends,

There's a new challenge open at Festive Fridays.
We always have 4 themes for you to choose from.  This month's themes are:
Christmas
Fall Colors
Halloween
Playing in the Leaves

Here's my project.

I was playing around with different techniques for this one.
I foiled the leaves foil plate onto heat resistant acetate then attached the panel to the card base under the 3/4 inch flap to which I added a heat embossed sentiment.  I used an Altenew 3D embossing folder for the inside panel.  I've placed a panel on the back for a personal message.  I love the foil on acetate!

I hope you'll play along this month.

Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers ~ Sketch #50

Hi Crafty Friends,

A new month means a new sketch challenge for you at BYSH Cardmakers.
If you've been playing along with us, you should have a pretty good holiday card stash by now.

Here's my first card for October.

I've used Pinkfresh Studio's Snowflake Background stamp and die set.
I stamped and then heat embossed the snowflakes for the background.  Then I stamped, heat embossed and cut out a second set to add dimension to the card.  The sentiment is from MFT Festive Flamingos stamp set.

Here's the sketch for this month's challenge.


You can play along with us all month by adding your card to Album #50 on the BYSH Facebook page HERE.

You can find more sketch inspiration on our BYSH blog HERE.
