{BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party - tis the season

 

Another day another scrap card! {BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party runs until Friday at midnight! Be sure to have your entries posted before then! I've said it once, and I'll likely say it again, but the Linky Parties are my excuse to use up a bunch of scraps!

This card is no exception! The background papers are all scraps from the Unity Stamp Co. paper pack called North Pole Collection. The piece was die cut using the largest of the scallops and rectangle nesting die. The image is from the October 2024 Kit of the Month called {sweet bliss of christmas}. I stamped it with antique linen distress oxide and then die cut with the make a tag die set. Next I distressed the edges of the tag with some vintage photo, added a rose gold paperclip, pink burlap twine and the sentiment. Lastly I added some Cotton Candy Stickles (appears that Cotton Candy is no longer offered...this is the link to hibiscus) to some of the ornaments for a little sparkle!

Although I didn't plan on it, this card resembles {BYSHC} Sketch 55!

 Happy Wednesday of the {BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party!

Another card.....more scraps! 🤷‍♀️ These scraps are from Stampin' Up as well as the embossing folder. The sentiment is from Unity's November 2023 Kit of the Month {festive flair}.

I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of red cardstock using the Ink on 3 Clear Embossing Ink, then sprinkled on some Unity Embossing Powder in Alabaster White.

More "MERRY" tomorrow!

 The BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party is half over! Be sure to have your links in before midnight on Friday!

Another card.....more scraps! This background is made up of scraps of all different manufacturers that just happen to go together! I die cut it using the Postage Stamp Nesting Dies from Unity Stamp Co. No paper goes to waste!

The image is from Taylored Expressions, called Fluffy Friends - Holiday (appears retired). I stamped onto white cardstock, die cut with another postage stamp die, colored with KingArt alcohol markers and attached with foam adhesive! And don't forget the enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs!

This card is based on the {BYSHC} Sketch 55 shown below! 

{BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party - O Holy Night

 Hello and welcome back! The {BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party is happening this week and my scrap pile couldn't be happier!

For those who have followed along with my card journey for a while knows that I am the scrap hoarder! I have a very hard time throwing away any scrap, large or small! I tend to gravitate to the scrap pile for the Linky Parties each time....it's a great reason to get some extra use from some papers that are just too pretty to pitch!  This card is no exception!

To start I had made this glitter paste snowflake panel a while back with no particular project in mind...so it's just been sitting around waiting for it's time to shine! The background panel (Crafty Stamp Co. Christmas Snow paper pack) has a large circle cut from it that had to be covered up....bring in the blue solid. I had the idea to cut the square from the center of that panel (cut with the scallops and squares nesting dies) and fit the snowflake piece into it 🤷‍♀️ I think it works! The sentiment is from Unity Stamp Co., an older itty bitty stamp called brightly shining (sadly has been retired) that had also been stamped and laying around waiting! Die cut it along with some vellum with the scallops and circles nesting dies. Added a little foam adhesive and some enamel dots and it's ready to be mailed!

Keep following along! The Linky Party continues until Friday!

{BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party - Happy Holidays

Hello again friends! {BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party is going strong! Friday is the last day to submit your creations to be eligible for one of the amazing prizes!

With TD2 in the Gulf, weather here today is pretty grey and rainy! But after I drove    2 1/2 hours to get my daughter and 2 1/2 hours back....I felt the need to create something to decompress!

Taylored Expressions to the rescue! I wanted to use a new stamp and die set (Playful Patterns for Easy Strips and the Easy strip die 1/4") to create something fun! The red stripe rectangle piece was created using the strips from this set. Stamped onto red cardstock with Ink on 3 embossing ink, sprinkled with Unity Embossing Powder in Alabaster White and heated to create magic! I followed {BYSHC} Sketch 47 to create this cutie! The sweet polar bear is from a now retired set called Fluffy Friends - Holiday, but these are the sweetest little critters! Stamped onto cardstock, die cut with the coordinating die set, colored with KingArt Alcohol Markers and added to the card front with Tombow Mono Liquid Glue.

This is one of my favorite images! Crafty Stamp Co. stamp set called Here Comes Santa, along with their paper pack called Season of Giving. Colored with KingArt Alcohol Markers, die cut with a die from Unity Stamp Co. called scallops and circles nesting dies. I chose one of the {BYSHC} sketches from a few years ago....sketch 17!

The sentiment is courtesy of an old-school Dymo Label maker!
