{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} Spring into Christmas 2025 Linky Party - Just for you

 Hello again and welcome back! Have you checked out the list of sponsors yet?!? What are you waiting for?!? I'll like my first days post here, they are also listed on the {BYSHC} Blog!

The linky party is usually where I grab all the scraps and bits and pieces and put cards together where they wouldn't normally be! 

For this one, the background (Christmas Joy Script from Angie Blom Digital Designs) I had printed a whole sheet of and only used one or two....so had two left. I die cut it with one of the scallops and rectangle nesting dies from Unity. The mug (also Angie Blom Digital Designs) I had already colored in an evening watching TV so it just needed to be die cut, used the scallop and banner nesting dies from Unity. I punched a couple holes in the top and tied on a red organza ribbon. Cute and simple and all "scraps"!

Doesn't have to be hard, just use your imagination! :)
