Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party - christmas joy santa

 The Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party is winding down! Only three more days to link up!!

My sweet santa mug comes from an amazing sponsor (and an amazing person) Angie Blom Digital Designs. 

Set is called Christmas Joy Mugs and has an amazing 8 different mugs and 6 different sentiments! I've used only 3 during this linky party! So many more left to color!  I chose to use an older {BYSHC} Sketch, number 20 (pictured below) and a paper pieced background I created quite a while ago! A mix of manufacturers and solid cardstock. Colored with King Art Alcohol Markers, distressed with some walnut stain and some super old stardust Stickles just to add some sparkle! Mounted with foam adhesive and some red enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs.

Will also add this to the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge! Santa Mug definitely whimsical!

Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party - christmas joy cuppa

 Hello again! Welcome back! I am still creating cards for the Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party! 

More scraps!!  This patterned paper is a scrap of a double sided piece from (I think) My Minds Eye. I don't have much of it left, which is why I'm using a scrap! LOL

I used a past {BYSHC} sketch for this one! Sketch 40 is pictured below! I cut my scrap in half and used both sides. The image is part of the set I recently purchased (and printed an entire sheet of) from Angie Blom Digital Designs called Christmas Joy Mugs!  Colored with King Art Alcohol Markers and distressed with some walnut stain. The card base was also distressed with some walnut stain over vintage photo. I splattered some water to give the dappled effect. Added a cute aqua color button to match that side of the paper, some Gina Marie Designs enamel dots and some twine! Cute!!

Also entering this in the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge for October! The theme is coffee + whimsical winter! What's more whimsical that Christmas lights on your coffee cup?!?! 

Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party - holly jolly

Hello there! The Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party is a great way to get those holiday cards going before the mad rush that is December!

Today's card is, you've guessed it, MORE SCRAPS! I chose a previous {BYSHC} Sketch for this one!

I had this piece of patterned paper from the Unity Stamp Co. White Winter Paper Pack. I found some matching solid red cardstock (two pieces taped together actually) and started cutting! I recently purchased some digital images from Angie Blom Digital Designs, this one happens to come from the Christmas Joy Mug set. Printed, then colored with King Art Alcohol Markers. Added some white gel pen, white acrylic paint and distress stain in vintage photo splattered on. As I said I used {BYSHC} sketch 41 for this one. I used a circle of vellum as the background for this fussy cut mug of hot steaming cheer! This sketch is great for using up scraps!

I then added some red enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs and some foam tape!

Why not enter this cute one into another challenge! The Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge October challenge is for coffee + whimsical! 

Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party - Cup of Cheer

 Hello and welcome back to the Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party! My plan for the week is to use up as many scraps as I can! My scrap pile is out of control! LOL

I found this pre-printed pre-die cut image in the stack, found some paper and went to it! Digital image is from Not2Shabby called Cup of Cheer, patterned papers from Unity Stamp Co. called North Pole Collection. Colored with Tombow ABT markers, I also distressed the edges of both panels with vintage photo and walnut stain. The focal image piece was distressed a little more with a distressing tool. 

As I've said before you can find all the {BYSHC} past sketches on their Facebook page under "media." I used sketch 20 from February 2022. 

I added some natural twine from Timeless Twine by BellaCreationz, some enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs and some die cut embellishments from FOREVER ago! Not even sure when or where I got these! They are by Dream Street Papers, called merry & bright. 

Don't be afraid to use what you have! I knew I wanted a little something in that bottom left corner, it was just a big blank space. So I went digging in my supplies! You just never know what you will find! 

Entering this one in the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge for coffee + whimsical winter!

Be sure to have your creations linked up before midnight on the 25th to be eligible for the amazing sponsored prizes! The sponsor list is on the blog! Have fun!!
