{BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party Day 8

 Hello everyone Today's the last day for the {BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026. I have had so much fun this week and I really enjoyed seeing all of your Holiday cards too. You still have until tonight, so still time to get your Holiday cards linked.  Use Hashtag  #byshccij2026lp Cards must be Christmas, Holiday, Winter. Hanukkah, etc..  We have so many Sponsors too! Good Luck and Have Fun!! 

Let's Get Started:

I used our New Sponsor Stampingbella. I stamped Uptown Girl Wren and Her Wreath with Memento Tuxedo ink on white cardstock. I also stamped her dress using Sponsor Not 2 Shabby Shop Winter Love Paper Pack. It had been a while paper piecing. I colored the image with my Copic Markers and fussy cut around my image. I used a dark marker to clean up my fussy cutting lines and glued the fussy cut pattern paper dress onto the image.

Next, I used a scalloped rectangle die from Sponsor Unity Stamps Co. and cut blue faux glitter pattern paper for my background and cut some red faux glitter patter paper and a hearts pattern paper from the Not 2 Shabby Shop Winter Love Pattern Paper Pack. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampingbella stamp set on white cardstock with black ink and then fussy cut it out. I cut out a red cardstock panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I also picked out some ephemera from Not 2 Shabby Shop Valentine Critters for the tree and and pine with bow. All was glued to a A2 card base.  I didn't feel this card needed embellishments.  I had fun making this card.

{BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party Day 6

 Hello everyone. It's Day 6 for the {BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party. I whipped up a card. Hope you are doing well with your cards. We still have time.  Use Hashtag byshccij2026lp and graphic. All cards must be Christmas, Holiday, Winter, Hanukkah, etc.

Let's Get Started:

So I loved these sketches from the Not 2 Shabby Shop that I finally used one of the sketches. I used Card Sketch 4. I remember getting this paper pad last linky party because Not 2 Shabby is always a wonderful sponsor and Jamie had said if you order this paper pad called Deck The Owls she would send the ephemera with it.  So that's what I did and I'm so excited to use these products. 

I heat embossed with Simon Says Stamp Rose Gold embossing folder for my sentiment. It's hard to see on camera but it reads "Merry Christmas from the Family" this stamp is from a previous stamp of the Month called Merry Mail.  I used my paper trimmer to cut everything but my circles. I used Sponsor Lawn Fawn for the Scalloped Circle Stackables and Waffle Flower for the sentiment circle cut out with blue cardstock. I was going to put flowers like the sketch but I needed this owl on here. Cute right?  I had so much fun making this card. Another thing I used a white acrylic marker for faux stitching on my banner.  Don't forget {BYSHC} has card sketch 71 and you can win there too.

{BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party Day Day 5

 Hello everyone. It's Day 5 of the {BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party, How are you doing with your Holiday cards? Making Progress? You still have time and we have some amazing sponsors. Use hashtag Use Hashtag  #byshccij2026lp  and graphic.

Let's Get Started:

I have fun watercoloring this Die set given to me by one of my Crafty Friends. This die is on sale for $5 and from our Sponsor Pink & Main called Holly Days. I love it and for the word die Happy Holidays  too.  I die-cut the circle die set first with watercolor paper and then colored it in with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers in Cobalt Blue, Carmine Red, and Green. I had fun using my water brush dipping it into my water bown to control how much water I used. 

I cut the word die out with pattern paper from Sponsor Crafty Stamp Co. called Season of Giving. I also used more pattern paper for my background panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. All was glued to a A2 card base 4 1.4 x 5 1/2.  I embellished with some Pink & Main Silver Glossy Hearts and that finishes this card. Easy Peasy. 

I hope you will join us Linky Party ends Friday 7/24/26
