{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}!

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

 Hello again! Welcome back to my blog! The Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party is cruising right along!

This sweet reindeer card is created with patterned paper and stamp sets from Unity Stamp Co. The paper pack is called North Pole Collection and the stamp set is called Winter Cheer and Deer. These papers were scraps that happened to fit the sketch I picked! I chose {BYSHC} sketch 46, which I added below.

Trimed all the layers to fit the sketch sizes, stamped the focal deer stamp and sentiment using versafine clair in nocturne. The reindeer is die cut with a Unity Stamp Co. make a tag die set. I used some vintage photo to distress around the edges of both the tag and the sentiment. The ribbon is from my stash, and some red enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs!

{BYSHC} Sketch 46 - Magic of the Holidays

 Hello friends! My last card for the {BYSHC} Sketch 46 was fun to create! The monthly sponsor for June is Lawn Fawn and even though I only have one Lawn Fawn Christmas set, I made 4 different cards! 

I love this paper! :) This is a new to me kit from Photo Play called Tulla & Norbert's 

Christmas Party! It's so cute! This paper was cut using a edge die from PinkFresh Studios. I wanted to use sleigh, but in a different way than before! So I FILLED it up with gifts! The sentiment goes along with that! The stamps are from the Lawn Fawn set called Ho Ho Holidays and they also have a matching die set. I stamped all the pieces onto white cardstock with versafine clair in nocturne, colored with alcohol markers. Added some foam tape for dimension and some flat clear sequins.

Thanks for playing along with us this month! Keep an eye out for our next sketch and new sponsor!

{BYSHC} Sketch #46 - Happy Ho Ho Holidays!

Hello and welcome back! My next card for {BYSHC} Sketch 46 was super fun to create! These stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn are so easy to create an entire scene with! 

This set it called Ho Ho Holidays and also comes with a matching die set! The paper I used is an older kit that I can't seem to find the name of right off the top of my head. I will add it when I can locate the name of it! I die cut the top (green) panel with a scallop edge die from Pink Fresh Studios. The circles are cut using the scallops and circles nesting dies from Unity Stamp Co. Santa and the Mrs. were stamped onto white cardstock with versafine clair in nocturne, then die cut with the matching die set. Colored with alcohol markers. I added a tiny bit of white gel pen for accents and some foam tape for dimension!! 

Thanks for visiting! Hope to see you back soon! :)

 

{BYSHC} Sketch 46! - It's Santa!

Hello there and welcome! {BYSHC} the Sketch 46 challenge is half way complete! As it was announced at the beginning of the year, each month's challenge prize will be brought to you by one of our amazing sponsors! This month it happens to be Lawn Fawn! Entries must be entered into the Sketch 46 Album in the {BYSHC} Facebook group!

Ever have one of those "ah-ha" moments and then try to recreate on paper what you thought in your head?!? That's what happened here! I had the brilliant idea to create a rooftop using scalloped paper! :/ except that my scallop wasn't very big so it took way more layers than I expected! LOL However, this super cute card took shape and turned out super cute!

So as I said, I started with a white card base and to that I added layer upon layer of different brown papers punched with a scalloped edge punch! The bottom is pretty thick, but looks cool!! The santa and sleigh and all the presents and bags are from the Lawn Fawn kit called Ho-Ho-Holidays and the matching die set! The blue paper is from a pad from PhotoPlay called It's a Wonderful Christmas. I thought it looked like the night sky! I added some fuzzy fibers to resemble snow to the roof top. The chimney was fabricated from a scrap piece of brown and  a black marker! LOL I added a die cut moon and some star sequins to complete the night sky! The sentiment was stamped and fussy cut prior to attaching it to the roof!

Below is the sketch for reference! Lawn Fawn is generously giving a $25 gift certificate to the winner of this month's challenge!

Welcome to June and Sketch 46!

 Wow! We are already in June! How did that happen!?!? Well here in Florida its difficult to think about winter and Christmas when the temp is 100 outside!! But at BYSHC it's always Christmas!

This month's sponsor is Lawn Fawn! I have been trying to use the sponsored product on the sponsored month! This cute Santa scene is all from the kit called Ho-Ho-Holidays and the matching die set. I stamped and cut out all the pieces, then colored. I used some alcohol markers and a white gel pen. The paper is from a recently acquired pad ffrom PhotoPlay called It's a Wonderful Christmas. The blue looked like the night sky to me! Santa is backed with a circle of vellum. The sentiment was stamped with versamark embossing ink and then embossed with gina k designs white embossing powder. The circle and banner were cut using dies from Unity Stamp Co.

Have your entries posted on the BYSHC Facebook page before the end of the month for your chance to win a Lawn Fawn $25 Gift Certificate!!!
