{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party - Warm Winter Wishes

 Day 3 of the {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party and I have yet another card featuring some of our amazing sponsors!

Today's card uses three sponsors products and ideas!  

Started with this sweet frothy mug from Christmas Joy Mugs by Angie Blom Digital Designs, you have seen a few of these images so far in this linky party....you will likely see more! :) I colored it in pink and blue, using KingArt Alcohol Markers. The background papers are from Unity Stamp Co. Cozy Textiles (WK10/2020). I loved Crystal's card that she posted here, so I secretly.....shhhhh.....CASEd her design :) The postage stamp nesting dies and sentiment strip from simply holiday are both from Unity Stamp Co. as well! I loosely followed {BYSHC} Sketch 10 too!

I am also entering this into the Jingle Belles Rock Pink Christmas Challenge. Each October, the ladies at Jingle Belles Rock (Stephanie and Lauren) post the pink challenge in honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month! They have offered to donate $2 each for each card posted to the challenge! What an amazing outpouring of support!

{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party - Merry & Bright Poinsettias

Hello again friends! {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party has begun! You have until Friday the 24th to get those entries posted to the {BYSHC} Blog to be eligible for some amazing prizes!

This card is brought to you by my many bins/piles/bags of scraps and leftover images!  The poinsettia's are part of the set from Angie Blom Digital Designs called Blessings Poinsettia.  These happen to a part of the jar. I just cut them off of the jar, I only wanted the flowers! :) The papers are from a pack from Miss Kate Designs called Holly Jolly

I die cut the panels using the scallops and rectangles nesting dies from Unity Stamp Co., and added some sheer ribbon and foam adhesive as well.

I will be adding this lovely card to the Jingle Belles Rock October Challenge! Each October the ladies of Jingle Belles Rock (Stephanie and Lauren) deem the prompt pink Christmas in honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month! For each card that is submitted they EACH donate $2 per card to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation! I do have one additional pink card in the works, so be on the lookout!

One more Pink Card!

 One more card for the Jingle Belles Rock Pink Christmas! Each October, the first challenge for this awesome challenge blog is for pink Christmas cards! In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness month both of the blog owners (Stephanie and Lauren) each donate $2 per card posted for the challenge! This one happens to be my third!

I just love this giant (or Colossal) snowflake from Unity Stamp Co! It does come with a matching die, which I did use on the last two cards, but this one was just stamped and embossed! I started with a white cardbase, to which I added a black background. The colored panel was ink blended with a few colors of distress inks (worn lipstick, spun sugar, tea dye and antique linen). I sprinkled some water on to create the white spots. I stamped the snowflake image with some embossing distress ink then sprinkled some embossing glitter on to that. After melting, I die cut the panel with the scallops and rectangle nesting dies. To that I added some natural twine, some white iridescent sequins and the sentiment was cut and added like a tag!

Not sure if there will be any more but you just never know! Three is a nice number!! 

Going Pink for October!

 Hello and welcome! I have participated in the Jingle Belles going pink for Christmas for a few years! I have been a little lax in posting cards here but always know that the first challenge in October is PINK for Breast Cancer Awareness! The blog creators (Stephanie and Lauren) each graciously donate $2 per card to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation!

Today's card features a lovely Pink snowflake! The snowflake and sentiment are both from Unity Stamp Co. Colossal Snowflake and Greetings of the Season. Started with a white card base, added a snowflake embossed panel that was inked over with some pink ink then splattered with some shimmer watercolors. The plaid panel is from Cottage Christmas by Fancy Pants Designs. Twine is from Timeless Twine by BellaCreationz. You can't really tell but the snowflake was embossed with some embossing glitter, but it didn't really stick everywhere so it's VERY subtle! LOL

Hoping to make more pink, but if not one is better than none! :)
