{BYSHC} Sketch 59 - All is Calm

 Hello again! {BYSHC} Sketch 59 would be a great way to get some cards entered for the Christmas in July 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party! The party ends tonight! Lots of prizes to be randomly awarded!

It's been a busy busy few months around here! Graduation, dance nationals, college orientation and just plain summer things! So this card was created with just a pad of paper and some dies! The paper is Park Lane (Joanns [RIP]) Holiday Pine. I chose coordinating papers, cut according to the measurements in the sketch and added the background to the card base. The circles were cut using dies! The largest circle is from Unity's Scallops and circles nesting dies and the smaller one is from Stampin' Up. These were all cut from a piece of patterned paper in the pack as well as the sentiment! I then added some white enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs and it's finished! It doesn't have to be hard to be beautiful! 

{BYSHC} Sketch 59 - Sending Christmas Wishes

 Hello and welcome to July!! Sketch 59 is active until the end of the month!

Wow that was sooooo fast! Already July?!? 

My card for today was simple and easy! I love that kind! The papers are from Park Lane "Nice List." I measured and cut according to the sketch. I decided after I cut to tear the top and bottom edge of the center strip. The circle was stamped with the reindeer from the Unity Stamp Co. November 2023 Kit of the Month. Sentiment is from an old Stampin Up set from 2018 called Christmas Traditions. Stamped both in VersaFine Clair in Nocturne. Die cut the circle using the Unity Stamp Co. scallops and circles nesting dies, the sentiment was punched with a Stampin Up punch. 

I added a small piece of red ribbon tied in a bow onto the reindeer. I just felt he was too plain! I added both pieces with foam adhesive and then added some red pearls. The sketch is shown below! Enjoy!

Be sure to come back later this month and join us for the Christmas in July Linky Party! Lots of fun, prizes and inspiration to be had!! Mark your calendars!
