{BYSHC} Christmas in July 2024 Linky Party - Merry Christmas

 Back again with more scraps! The number of cards I complete for {BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party is amazing and what's even more amazing...the shrinking scraps pile!

My card features a digital image from Angie Blom Digital Designs called Ho-Ho-Holidays! 

For whatever reason, this cute Santa was not only colored but also fussy cut out and ready to go, but put aside in the "later" bin!! Every piece of this (except for the enamel dots) was from scraps! I did stamp the sentiment (from Unity Stamp Co. Gotta Love Sentiments) and embossed with clear embossing powder, but this came together pretty quick once everything was cut to size! Speaking of cutting to size....I did use (loosley) sketch #43 from {BYSHC}!

Thanks for visiting!

pssssst.....Angie has give us a discount code! BYSHC55. :)

Sketch 43 {BYSHC} - Shaker Card (Let it Snow)

 Welcome back! Sketch 43 at {BYSHC} is open until the end of the month! Also don't forget that this month's prize will be sponsored by Twiddler's Nook! The winner will either receive a $20 gift card OR a Christmas themed prize pack!

As with the last card, I used the pastel star confetti and pulled out the blue and yellow stars to match the background paper! Background paper (Snowy Winter Greetings), stamp set (Ornamental Greetings) and die (unfortunately not available any longer) for the shaker are all from Unity Stamp Co.  This sketch was screaming "shaker card" to me from the beginning, just needed to make the time to do it! :) Measured according to the sketch, prepared the shaker, added some silver microbeads and the blue and yellow stars and sealed it up! Burlap twine from May Arts Ribbons and some blue enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs to finish it off!

Don't forget to enter before March 31st to be eligible for the Twiddler's Nook prize!

Merry Christmas Shaker Card for {BYSHC} Sketch 43

 Sketch 43 will run through the end of March! Be sure to post your entry on the {BYSHC} Facebook page!

When I originally saw this sketch I thought "SHAKER CARD" but needed to make the time to get it done! The background papers are from Heidi Swapp, the stamped image (Ornamental greetings) and shaker dies (unfortunately no longer available) are from Unity Stamp Co. Measured and cut the papers according to the sketch, created the shaker and added some silver beads and the yellow stars pulled from the Twiddler's Nook pastel shooting stars confetti pack. White twine was purchased at the grocery store! LOL Yes it's simply bakers twine used for a turkey! LOL

Don't forget to mark your calendars to join us for the Spring into Christmas 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party which begins on the 19th of April and runs through the 26th. Lots of fun, inspiration and prizes to be had!! More details to come!

{BYSHC} Sketch 43!

 Hey there and welcome! I've been a little behind with my posts, so get ready! LOL Sketch 43 started March 1st at {BYSHC} and will run through the month of March! As was announced at the beginning of the year...each month's prize is brought to you by one of our amazing sponsors! This month its Twiddler's Nook! Tiny embellishments and all sorts of accessories!

This card was fun to make! I used a digital image from Angie Blom Digital Designs called Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas. Background patterned paper is older from Stampin Up! Printed image onto watercolor paper and colored with Tombow Dual Brush Markers. I die cut a vellum circle, but it just wasn't enough. This snowflake acrylic sheet was just sitting there waiting for me to discover it! :) It was die cut with the scallops and circles nesting die set from Unity Stamp Co.  I fussy cut Santa out with my cutter bee scissors and popped him up with some foam tape. The tiny yellow stars came from a multicolor pack of confetti from Twiddler's Nook, that I pulled only the yellow ones out! :) And to not lose them on my desk....I used one of their embellishment trays!

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to come back and see what else is in store for the month!  

Be sure to mark your calendars for the Spring Into Christmas 2024 BYSHC Linky Party! It will be all sorts of fun and creativity!! This will start April 19th and run through the 26th. A list of sponsor will be posted soon, but based on past events....you won't want to miss this!!
