Spring into Christmas 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Holiday Grumplings ~ Taylored Expressions

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back for Day 2 of the Spring into Christmas 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party with a grumpy holiday card! It was so much fun checking out the inspiration shared yesterday for the start of the Linky Party. So many beautiful cards! Today I'm sharing a card using a funny stamp from return Sponsor Taylored Expressions called Holiday Grumplings.

I inked up one of the cute critters from the retired Holiday Grumplings stamp set from our fab Sponsor Taylored Expressions. His grumpy face just makes me smile!! LOL! I stamped him with Black Amalgam ink and colored  him up with Copic markers. I decided he needed a hat so I also stamped the top of the cute snowman bear in the set and just fussy cut the hat after I colored it.

I used the retired coordinating Holiday Grumplings die set to die cut the fox. I cleaned up the edges of my fussy cutting by coloring the edges black with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used for this hilarious stamp:

Fox: N2, N4, N6, W00, W1, W3, E11, E15, E09, C00, C2

Hat: R20, R14, R27, C00, C2

Bell: Y11, Y28 

I paired up the grumpy fox with the retired Snow Day Remix paper pack from Sponsor Lawn Fawn. I die cut the polka dot paper using the retired Stitched Bracket Stacklets from Taylored Expressions. I adhered all my layers together using iCraft UltraBond Adhesive from our wonderful Sponsor Therm O Web. I die cut the sentiment using a circle die from the Stitched Circle Stacklets from Taylored Expressions. I added a bunch of iCraft 3D Foam Squares from Therm O Web to pop up the sentiment.

My card design was inspired by {BYSHC} Sketch 1. I went WAY back in the sketches! I used the measurements directly from the sketch for my card. The only thing I changed up was I used the red snowflake scrap from my papers and I used scraps for my background rather than just one piece of pattern paper. I love this sketch!

Before you leave, be sure to stop by Taylored Expressions, Lawn Fawn, and Therm O Web! I love all of our wonderful Sponsors!! And if you haven't already, stop by the Spring into Christmas 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party to check out all the wonderful Holiday inspiration being shared!! Have a fantastic day!

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
