{BYSHC} Spring into Christmas Linky Party Day 8

 Hello everyone.  It's our last day of the {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas Linky Party.  I had so much fun I hope you did too and maybe your still getting in your last cards you still have time.  I have loved seeing everyone's Holiday projects. All cards {or tags} must be Christmas, Hanukkah, Yuletide, wintry, etc. Use the graphic and hashtag #byshcsic2026lp in your social media posts.



Let's Get Started:


How about clean and simple?  I used Sponsors Crafty Stamp Co., Taylored Expressions, and A Colorful Life Designs.  I first colored this cute little Yeti from Crafty Stamp Co. Yeti For Winter stamp set.  I had been wanting to use this stamp set.  I may color up some more they are just too cute.  I stamped him on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I colored him with my copic markers and fussy cut him out.  I used some Stampin' up Snowfall Accents Puff Paint for his pom pom.


On a white cardstock panel 4  1/4 x 5 1/2, I used Sponsor Taylored Expressions 6x6 Layering stencil Winter Wonder for just the snowflakes. It has 4 stencils which is nice.  I used Catherine Pooler inks in Sugared Lavender and Stone Blue.  I then stamped a sentiment with Memento Tuxedo black ink from the same stamp set. I love the different options.  You can use cocoa too.  I popped up my Yeti with foam tape and added him and my panel to a A2 card base.  I embellished with some Card Bling from Sponsor A Colorful Life Designs.  I had fun with this card.  I used sponsors this week I wish I could of used more of them. I had fun though.

{BYSHC} Spring Into Christmas Linky Party Day 7

Hello everyone it's Day 7 for the {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas Linky Party.  That means tomorrow is our last day.  I hope you are having as much fun as I am.  I love seeing everyone's Holiday projects. All cards {or tags} must be Christmas, Hanukkah, Yuletide, wintry, etc. Use the graphic and hashtag #byshcsic2026lp in your social media posts. 

Let's Get Started:




On my card today, I used Sponsors A Colorful Life Designs and Gina K Designs. I used the Playful Tree 6x6 Stencil and 6x6 Merry Christmas Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs use VonFan10 to save.  I used white cardstock and inked with Gina K Designs in Red Velvet ink Cube, Christmas Pine ink cube, Blue Denim ink cube, and Sweet Corn ink cube for the tree.  I used the full size ink pad in Amalgam ink for the Merry Christmas.  I laid the stencil over my tree and only lightly inked on the tree and darker everywhere else. 

My cardstock was then cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and glued to a A2 card base.  I didn't feel like I needed a  sentiment because of the Merry Christmas Stencil.  Maybe I will stamp one inside.

You still have time to join us!

Inspired By...Balloons And A New Card Sketch

 Hello everyone.  I'm so excited for this weeks challenge at Inspired by...as usual they are all so fun. I love this week Balloons they are just so Happy and this weeks card sketch...I love it.

Okay let's get started:



Well I was inspired by the Balloons, Colors, and Card Sketch.  I made this really easy card It felt like it  took me 10 mins lol.  It's so cute too.  I used Not 2 Shabby Shop for the Make A Wish Paper Pack and Make A Wish Ephemera.  I Tried to mimic the sketch so I cut out a piece of pattern paper and I had a stitched piece already ready for me from a previous project. The inspiration photo has purple in it so, I cut some purple cardstock.


I love that there was a sentiment in the ephemera pack too.  So easy love it.  I glued everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I love how this card came it.  I love Bunnies.

You still have time to join us!
