{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party - Sending Joy

 One more project! After seeing a couple posts on the Unity Show & Tell FB page, I was inspired to make some gift tags! The {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party isn't just about cards....it's all holiday projects!

I started with a piece of cardstock from Echo Park called Snowed in. I die cut some tags with the Make a Tag Nesting Dies from Unity Stamp Co. I then took a piece of white scrap cardstock and ink smooshed it a little bit with some distress oxides. Stamped one of the trees from the set Simply Holiday. I die cut these in the same way. Once cut, I tore the top and bottom off and attached them to the plaid tag. 

I used the hole cover die included with the tags to cut in a couple different coordinating colors. I then attached some thick twine. The sentiment was stamped from the same set and then cut into pieces to attach to the tags. More will likely be made, but these are finished for now! :)

 

{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party - Christmas Joy

 TGIF! Today is the final day to get your creations posted to the {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party!

Today's card features another of the Christmas Joy Mugs from Angie Blom Digital Designs! I colored this yummy cup to coordinate with the plaid paper from Echo Park Snowed In Collection. I die cut the rectangle with the scallops and rectangles nesting dies from Unity Stamp Co.

I used some Vintage Photo Distress Oxide on the background panel edges as well as the cup panel. I added some Glossy Accents to the lightbulbs and to the sprinkles. The sheer ribbon happened to be sitting on the desk and matched perfectly! Some foam tape and we're all set!

Be sure to have your entries posted before Midnight and then we patiently wait for the random drawings to take place! :)

I hope you enjoyed the week as much as I did! I may just post another or two before the day is over! Just never know! :)

{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party - Sending Good Cheer

Tomorrow is the final day of the {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party, so what is happening today is the final push to get projects finished!

A perfect example of the scraps that I try to use up, is on this background! Strips of paper glued to a piece of white cardstock. Easy peasy! The tag was one of the manila tags from the Unity Thank you baggies, that I cut down, used an edge die on the bottom and distressed with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide.  

Papers are from multiple manufacturers but they went together so here they are! Image is from the cutest set from Taylored Expressions called Fluffy Friends - Holiday and the coordinating die set. I colored everything with my KingArt Alcohol Markers, added a touch of white gel pen and used some foam adhesive to stick it on. Added some enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs too!

Let's make some more stuff!

{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party - Joyful Greetings

 Hello again! I am still creating cards for {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party.  Are you?!?!

My card is brought to you by.....I stamped too many things and couldn't decide what to use for which card! LOL. Yes that's right, I stamped these things at the same time as the last Scandi card (yesterday) and just decided, as they lay on the desktop, that they had to go together!

Again from the now retired :( Scandi Christmas set from Newton's Nook Designs. This will go as part of their current Inky Paws Color Challenge!  I stamped the tree in gina k designs dye ink in dusty rose. I also used gina k designs dye ink grass green and red hot on the tag. Distress Archival ink in Speckled egg is there too. I tried to make a background with the designs, but it wasn't even and it wasn't the right size so I grabbed the fancy edges tag die set from Newton's Nook and just cut it out!

I splattered some of those inks on the card base, added a torn piece of green cardstock, added some washi tape and some ribbon, a staple and some foam tape to finish it off! Oh and I added some enamel dots too!

This is why I always keep everything! And also why I have too many scraps! :)

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

 Hello and happy Thursday! The {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party ends tomorrow night at midnight! Be sure to link up your creations to the blog before the clock strikes 12!

Today's card features another sponsor Taylored Expressions! This sweet set of stamps also has a coordinating die set too! It's called Fluffy Friends - Holiday.

This sweet little bear on a sled is so cute! I chose {BYSHC} Sketch 41 to create this card. Again using scraps for this card, the Kraft background has a chunk taken out of it, the turquoise and patterned cardstock were partial sheets as well. I included a pic of the actual sheets to show I'm not making this up! LOL The patterned paper is from Basic Grey (I know, right?!?). The paper pack is sooooo old, but its called Nordic Holiday circa 2011! I colored the bear to coordinate with the paper (used KingArt Alcohol Markers)!

I added some die cut circles, scallops and circles nesting dies from Unity Stamp Co., some foam adhesive and some clear flat sequins! So sweet!!!

My scraps!

Sketch 41!

{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party - Scandi Merry Christmas

 Hello there friends! Here we are on day 6 of the {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party! I have a card today showcasing quite a few of our amazing sponsors!

This card showcases multiple sponsors, all in one place! It was created for two purposes...one for this linky party and secondly for the current Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge, #245 Color Challenge! Colors for the challenge are red, blue, green and pink.

While the stamp set I chose happens to be retired, it is so fun and festive I had to use it! The stamp set is from Newton's Nook, called Scandi Christmas. I stamped three of the trees onto white cardstock. One in Gina K. Designs dye ink in grass green, one in red hot and the third in Distress Archival Ink in speckled egg. After stamping the three, I fussy cut them out (used my cutter bee scissors) and decided to color in the red tree with all of the challenge colors. I stamped the border pattern, also part of the stamp set, along the top and bottom to frame the scene. I tore the edges and added it to a kraft background. Both were die cut with the largest die from the scallops and rectangles nesting dies from Unity Stamp Co. The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Clair in Nocturne directly on the kraft background. I added some enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs and some foam adhesive on the back of the red tree to showcase it! Four sponsors on one card! Not too bad!

{BYSCH} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party - Spirit of Christmas

 Welcome back! The {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party is quickly coming to the end! Be sure to have your entries posted to the blog before midnight Friday night!

Today's card features a few sponsors! The card base background is papers from Unity Stamp Co. The pack is called Season Starter.

Again more scraps left over from other things. The mug is part of the printed sheet from Angie Blom Digital Designs called Christmas Joy Mugs. Colored with KingArt Alcohol Markers in colors that match the paper. The ornament was covered with Glossy Accents to give it a nice shiny texture! The sentiment is from a set of sentiment strips from Unity Stamp Co. and the circle was also cut with one of the scallops and circles nesting dies also from Unity. Twine is from May Arts and the enamel dots are from Gina Marie Designs.

I followed Sketch 46 from {BYSHC}!
