{BYSHC} Christmas in July 2025 Linky Party - Noel

 

Still creating cards for the Christmas in July 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party!

Today's card  features some scraps that were left on the desktop and BYSHC Sketch 56 to use them up!

I had all of these scraps laying on the desk, you can likely see where I used them in previous posts in this linky party! The sentiment is from the 2020 Unity Advent Calendar. Both pieces were die cut with the scallops and circles nesting dies. I used glossy accents on the letters to spruce them up a bit! They were too "dull" and it needed a little something. I distressed around the edge with whatever ink was left on the blue blending brush! No need to re-ink....just use up what's there!

I then added some foam adhesive to the sentiment circles and added some Gina Marie Designs Enamel Dots (IMO the BEST)!

{BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2025 Linky Party - Holly Jolly Christmas

 Hello again! I am still creating Christmas cards for the {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2025 Linky Party! 

The amount of scraps I have is overwhelming at times! I try to use the Linky Parties to grab up all those scraps and make something amazing! 

This card was created with a few scraps from an OLD paper pack (2015) from My Minds Eye called Cozy Christmas. I used {BYSHC} Sketch 56 for this one! I cut all the pieces and added them to a white card base using some Tombow Liquid Glue. The sentiment was stamped using VersaFine Clair ink in Nocturne onto a coordinating sticker that came with the paper pack. The sentiment is from Jolly Ol' Santa from Unity. The enamel dots are from Echo Park.

Off to find more scraps that I can create something new with! :)

{BYSHC} Sketch 56 - Merry Christmas

 Hello again and welcome back! {BYSHC} Sketch 56 is still going strong! Mid-month and still open and waiting for your submission! The sponsor this month is Jaded Blossom!

My card today features a sentiment cut from a photo Christmas card that we received! I found some paper that coordinated very well with the classic look of the sentiment. The paper manufacturer and name escapes me at the moment, but keep and eye on this and I may locate it! :)

I added some foam adhesive and some red burlap twine to spice it up!

{BYSHC} Sketch 56 - Merry Happy Cheery & Bright

 Hello there and welcome to April! {BYSHC} Sketch 56 runs through the end of April. The sponsor for this month's prizes is Jaded Blossom! 

The thing I think I like most about the {BYSHC} monthly sketches is their versatility! I can grab any handful of scraps, find some that coordinate together and just get to cutting and positioning! 

This card features scraps from several different pads and manufacturers. The tag image is a digital image from PolkaDot Orchard.

The sketch for reference!
