{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party - Merry and Sweet

 Back again with another scrappy card for the {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party! As I have done in the past and as I said on Friday....I try to use up scraps that I have created throughout the year during the linky parties! It's a great resource and keeps my mind spinning!!

My card today features a tag made from strips of scraps glued together in a way that creates a sort of mosaic I guess! I have used this technique several times in the past and you will likely see more throughout this week as well! The tag was created with a smaller piece after cutting an A2 card front size!

The green polka dot paper was just the right size to cut with a scallop and rectangle nesting die from Unity Stamp Co. The kraft piece in the back has a giant rectangle cut from the middle (shhhhhh) that I strategically covered with the green piece, the tag and the tiny little gingerbread house at the top left! ;)  The Gnome, sentiment and single gingerbread house are from a cute set from the Crafty Stamp Co., called Christmas Cookie Gnomes. I colored everything with my KingArt Alcohol Markers. The tag and vellum overlay were both cut with the Make a Tag nesting dies from Unity Stamp Co. The ribbon and twine are from my stash! Brown enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs!

A few sponsors used on this one! Unity Stamp Co., Gina Marie Designs and Crafty Stamp Co.

{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party - Holly Jolly Wishes

 Another one for Day 4 of the {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party!

This card is brought to you by Taylored Expressions! The little tree is the freebie Pretty Postage Stamp that comes in an order based on what month you order! I also searched Pinterest for some ideas and found a sample card using a different stamp but I liked the design!

I started with the kraft piece that was just a teensy bit too small for the base, so I added a piece of red behind. The smaller piece is cut from another scrap piece of kraft. I have never tried the scoring effect to create a raised border, but I love it! I just used my score-buddy to create the grooves. Next I splattered some black soot and picket fence distress spray stain over both, then took some lumberjack plaid distress oxide ink pad, added some water and splattered that on too.  I stamped the trees three times, cut them down to size, then mounted them on some red backing and cut that to size. Added them to the center of the scored piece. Added some foam adhesive and stuck it down over some red and white polka dot ribbon. The sentiment is from Unity Stamp Co., Simply Holiday and some metallic enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs.

Love how this turned out!

 Lots of scraps on my desk ready to be made into something amazing! {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party is my favorite way to use up some scraps!

My card is created with a digital image and sentiment from Angie Blom Digital Designs called Christmas Joy Mugs. (p.s. you can get 40% off....no code needed!)

The background paper is an older piece from Stampin Up. It was the perfect size for A2 card front! I cut it according to the {BYSHC} Sketch 51 dimensions. I added a strip of coordinating paper to the center. The Santa mug image was backed with some black cardstock as was the sentient.  I added some red enamel dots!

Don't forget....there is still time to submit your creations to be eligible for some amazing prizes!!

Hello again crafty friends! I hope you have had a chance to see some amazing creations and have maybe submitted one (or more) of your own! The {BYSHC} Falling for the Holiday 2025 Linky Party goes until this Friday, so there is still time!

My card is brought to you by one of our amazing sponsors....Angie Blom Digital Designs. The digital set is called Blessings Poinsettia. This floral is fussy cut from one of the mason jar images. The background is a piece of kraft cardstock, run through an embossing folder that has been inked with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide to give the wood effect. 

I did die cut it with one of the scallops and rectangle nesting dies from Unity Stamp Co. (another amazing sponsor!) to create the fancy edge. Foam adhesive, enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs and some ribbon from my stash finish it off!

In addition to these two amazing sponsors, I also used Sketch 50 from {BYSHC}....pictured below.

 Day 3 of the {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party and I have yet another card featuring some of our amazing sponsors!

Today's card uses three sponsors products and ideas!

The background papers are from Unity Stamp Co. Cozy Textiles (WK10/2020). I loved Crystal's card that she posted here, so I secretly.....shhhhh.....CASEd her design :) The postage stamp nesting dies and sentiment strip from simply holiday are both from Unity Stamp Co. as well! I loosely followed {BYSHC} Sketch 10 too!

I am also entering this into the Jingle Belles Rock Pink Christmas Challenge. Each October, the ladies at Jingle Belles Rock (Stephanie and Lauren) post the pink challenge in honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month! They have offered to donate $2 each for each card posted to the challenge! What an amazing outpouring of support!

{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party - Jingle all the Way!

 Hello there! I am still creating and building my stash of Christmas and Holiday cards to be ready fo the busiest season of them all! {BYSHC} Falling into the Holidays 2025 Linky Party is a great way to get some cards finished so you are not struggling in December!

Today's card features a past sketch from {BYSHC}, sketch 54. I will attach the sketch at the bottom. As I have mentioned a couple times, I try to use up as many scraps as I can during the linky parties. It's a good opportunity to clear out all the bits and make something and not waste any pretty papers!

During the Summer Linky Party, I was the winner of a prize from Fresh and Renewed with Teresa and some of those elements were used here! The Santa, sentiment and sequins! The remaining papers are all scraps!
