{BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2025 Linky Party - Happy Holidays!

 Hello again and welcome back! The Spring into Christmas {BYSHC} 2025 Linky Party is happening! 

My card was created with another scrap! I used My Mind's Eye "i believe" (circa 2010)! I used front and back of one scrap! 

I followed the {BYSHC} Sketch 42 (pictured below). I started with a previously printed image from Angie Blom Digital Designs, called blessings poinsettia. I colored with some KingArt Alcohol Markers, then attempted to watercolor the blue of the jar to look like water. Well it smeared the printed ink all over the place! LOL Luckily the sentiment can cover! I added a circle of vellum and popped the fussy cut image and sentiment up with foam adhesive and added some transparent green enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs as an extra little pop!

Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party - Ho Ho Ho

Hello and welcome back! Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party is quickly coming to an end! Be sure to have your card creations linked before midnight Friday night!

More scraps have gotten a new life! 

The patterned paper scraps are from Unity Stamp Co. Watercolor Winter Paper Pack. The "ho ho ho" stamp and the stocking hat are both from the 2020 Advent Calendar. I used the scallops and circles nesting dies to cut the circles after I had stamped the sentiment in lumberjack plaid distress oxide ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. After I stamped the cute little cap, I fussy cut it out. 

I utilized {BYSHC} Sketch 42 to create this one!

{BYSHC} and Sketch 42!

 {BYSHC} and Sketch 42 are coming into the final stretch for the month of February! That was fast! 

You know how some cards are just "meh" in your mind and you're just not sure if you actually like it or not?!? That was this one for me! LOL. 

I started with a white card base. I then added the turquoise background, then kraft to that. I followed the measurements on the sketch (below) and cut the fun colorful panels (paper from My Minds Eye Christmas Wish). The image is a digital image from Newton's Nook Designs...it happens to be one of their freebies! I had submitted this one for a color challenge a little while back on their blog! Colored with King Art alcohol markers and die cut with a postage stamp nesting die set from Unity Stamp Co.  Tied with some natural jute twine from May Art Ribbons and mounted with foam tape! Easy peasy! :)

They don't all have to be masterpieces or your "favorite" to be appreciated and loved by the recipient! <3

Also don't forget that each month our sketch's are sponsored by one of our amazing friends! For February it's Not-2-Shabby! Although this image isn't one of theirs, they do have a lot to choose from!! They have provided us with a discount code (see it below) and also an amazing prize package to be sent to the February winner!

{BYSHC} and Not 2 Shabby - Sketch #42

 Welcome back! {BYSHC} are still creating with sketch 42 throughout the month of February! The sponsor this month is Not-2-Shabby and this image is one that is so versatile! It's called Have a Cup of Cheer.

I printed the image onto white cardstock as well as the snowflake cardstock (Park Lane Nice List). I fussy cut the cup and then the snowflake strip in the center. It reminded me of the Starbucks "Red Cup!" The colored portion was colored with Tombow ABT Dual Brush Markers. I added a circle of vellum behind which was die cut with the scallops and circles nesting dies from Unity Stamp Co. I added some red stickles glitter glue to the sprinkles on top of the whip! The red glitter enamel dots are from Gina Marie Designs. The white wooden snowflake came as a freebie from Unity with an order!

Be sure to join in the fun! Not-2-Shabby is sponsoring this month's challenge with a Christmas Prize package!!

And has graciously provided us with a coupon code!
