{BYSHC} Christmas in July 2025 Linky Party - Warm Winter Wishes

 

Hello again! The Christmas in July 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party is close to the end! Be sure to have your entries submitted to the blog before midnight on the 25th!

My card today features, you guessed it.....more scraps! The {BYSHC} Sketches are a great way to use up some scraps! These tiny squares are just over 1" square. I had to adjust the measurements due to the rectangle I die cut from Unity's scallops and rectangle nesting dies. The patterned paper is all from PhotoPlay "It's a Wonderful Christmas." I measured and cut them each, added them to the white die cut panel and then moved onto the tag. Cut with the make a tag die set from Unity. Die cut the smallest tag die from red cardstock. Printed and fussy cut the mug from Angie Blom Digital Designs Joy Mugs. Colored with KingArt Alcohol markers and added it to the tag. The tag was add using foam adhesive. The sentiment is from Unity September 2024 KOM {wander and wonder} which I stamped and then cut into smaller pieces. Finally I added some twine and enamel dots.

{BYSHC} Sketch 57 - Merry Christmas

 As we come to the end of May, can I just say WOWOW that was fast! {BYSHC} Sketch 57 will end on the 31st! 

Today's card came about when I remembered the sponsor this month is Newton's Nook and I have stamps that haven't been opened up yet! I found this set and went to their website for some quick inspiration. Looking through the "samples" I found a card that I loved so what better way to show love than to use it for inspiration! The papers are from Cottage Christmas from Fancy Pants Designs. I cut the paper according to the sketch (below) and arranged on the green background paper. The stamps are from the Scandi Christmas set (just noticed that this is on clearance...run and get it before its gone). Following the inspiration picture, I created a tag from kraft paper, added a red scrap to the top. Stamped the tree in peeled paint distress oxide and the reindeer in vintage photo distress oxide. I fussy cut them out (because I didn't get the matching die set :/). Added some foam tape to the tag and there ya go!

{BYSHC} Sketch 57 - Merry & Bright

Hello and welcome back! The {BYSHC} Sketch 57 is what's up! 

These past few weeks has flown by! Lots going on around here, with Graduation, party plans, college dorm piles.....its crazy!! Luckily I can craft and take a little stress off!

This cute card made with some paper I've had forever. Authentique Retro Christmas from 2016. I cut the papers according to the sketch (pictured below) and found this cute reindeer from the Unity Stamp Co. 2022 Advent Calendar. Cut with one of the scallops and squares nesting dies and placed in the space! The sentiment is also from Unity.....cheerful prancing sentiment kit!
