{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.

Not 2 Shabby Shop Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge For The Coffee Loving Papercrafters

 Hello everyone.  I have a card today for the Coffee Lovers Papercrafters Blog.  I'm so excited to be using Not 2 Shabby Shop for my card today and challenge.  Not 2 Shabby Shop is a sponsor and you can win a $15 GC.

Without further ado here is my card.

I've been loving Slimline cards now especially Mini slimline cards.  So I created one using Not 2 Shabby Shop stamps called Gingerbread Coffee House and Christmas Critters.  The Christmas Critters is from the October JR Box of the Month Subscription and Gingerbread Coffee House was a special bundle release in October called It's Gingie Time I want It All Card Kit. Aren't these critters and Gingies cute?  Who says Gingies and Critters can't go to the coffee shop?  I stamped my images on Hammermill cardstock with Memento tuxedo ink.  I then colored them in with my alcohol markers Altenew and Copic Markers.  I fussy cut them out leaving a white border.

I also used It's Gingie Time paper Pad 6x6 for my background also from the It's Gingie Time Bundle and stamped 2 sentiments on white cardstock with black ink from Gingerbread Coffee House Stamp set and cut it to fit on my card making it a fishtail banner. I added foam tape to the back before adhered to my card. I popped up my Coffee house and Gingerbread holding the to-go coffee with foam tape and glued everything to a card base.  I added stickles to my coffee house and that finishes this card.  I love how it came out I love these products.

Inspired By...Acorns challenge

 Hello everyone.  Happy Thursday!  I'm so excited by this weeks Inspired By... Acorns Challenge #IB355.  The theme and sketch are so much fun.  This time the Acorns theme inspired me although I love the sketch too.  This challenge will run about a week so I hope you can join us, I can't wait to see what inspired you!

Without further ado, here is my card...

I love this cute retired stamp from Avery Elle called Aw Nuts. I liked this image because of the Big Acorn, Coffee, and I had never used it before. I know I waited a long time.  I love this challenge as it gets me to search my stash. So, I stamped this image on Hammermill cardstock 100 pounds with Memento Tuxedo ink.  I colored it in with my Altenew Alcohol Markers and then fussy cut it out.

I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set onto a green strip of pattern paper with Versafine Onyx ink. I cut out a white panel cardstock 4 x 5 1/4.  I also cut some green textured cardstock to mat my white panel onto.  Everything was glued to a A2 top folding card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 with Bearly Art Glue.  I love how this card came out. Usually white space is hard for me I almost ink blended around the image.  Yay for clean and simple (CAS).

I hope I inspired you to check out this challenge and if you win you'll get a badge for your blog and your card will be announced on the Inspired By Blog.  That's so great!

Inspired By...Autumn Challenge

 Hello there! Today, I have a card for the current Inspired By...Autumn Challenge #IB354.  I'm so super excited to be joining the Inspired By... Design Team Yay!! I love these challenges so much they really get me motivated. I invite you to play along, there is a fun color inspiration photo and a sketch.  Of course you can use both..and I can't wait to see how you are inspired!

Without further ado here is my card...

I was inspired by this sketch.  Isn't it fun?  I then decided to go with some Autumn Critters.  I first cut some white cardstock to be 4 x 5 1/4.  I then found this pretty printed vellum paper pack 5.8 x 8.2 that was gifted to me.  So I picked this pretty chevron print with gold that always makes me think of Autumn/Fall.  I cut these strips to 1 inch.  I then cut them in to 1 inch squares.  I knew I needed 12 according to the sketch.

I love this Lawn Fawn stamp called Jump For Joy, it's always so much fun.  I stamped my images on Hammermill cardstock 100 pounds with Memento Tuxedo ink.  I colored them in with my Altenew and Copic Markers. I also used some Catherine Pooler Over Coffee dye ink for the tree branches. I then fussy cut everything out.  I glued my squares to my panel and then rearranged my images.  I stamped a sentiment from the set with Versafine Onyx ink on a piece of white cardstock and then I cut a fishtail with my scissors.  My panel was then glued to a brown A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I love how this card came out!  I hope I inspired you to give the Inspired By...Autumn Challenge a try.

Sending You A Pocket Full Of Pawsitivity

 Hello I have a card today for the current Inspired By Challenge Denim.  I am personally a denim girl.  I love my jeans. So I was excited by this challenge and of course I could find my denim pattern cardstock but anyhoo without further ado let's get to my card.

On my card, I used a older STAMPtember stamp set collab. with Simon Says Stamp and Newton's Nook Designs called Pocket Full of Happy.  I finally got to use this stamp set yay.  I stamped and heat embossed the image with Versafine Onyx black ink and WOW clear gloss super fine embossing powder. I then colored it in with my alcohol markers and fussy cut it out.  

I was also inspired by the sketch so I used some watercolor paper and my distress watercolor pencils in Faded Jeans, Mermaid Lagoon, and Blueprint Sketch and some water with a paintbrush.  I then cut my watercolor paper with my paper trimmer.  I also cut a A2 size cardstock panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and well as a card base.

I stamped a few sentiments from the same stamp set on white cardstock with Hero Hues Periwinkle ink.  I cut my sentiments with my paper trimmer.  Now it was time to assemble my card, I glued everything with liquid glue and popped up my sentiment with foam tape.  I love how my card came out.  It was so much fun to make.  Such a fun challenge.  I hope you were inspired. 

Blender Smoothie Critter Card

Hello there!  I'm back with a fun card using Lawn Fawn.  I've been wanting to use some New to me Lawn Fawn products.  The Lawn Fawnatics Challenge seemed like a great challenge to enter.  So, this is a Bingo Board Challenge #195  Super Fun.  Without Further Ado Let's get to my card.

I chose to do a row across with the Stencil, Heart, Patterned Paper, Lawn Cuts, and Stamp.  I started off with white cardstock and ink blended the Lots Of Hearts Background Stencils.  I used Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide and Festive Berries Distress Oxide ink to match my banana and strawberry.  

I then put my blender together using Build A Drink Blender Add On and Gotta Have Gingham in Dorothy 12 x 12 patterned paper. Black glossy cardstock and white cardstock were also used.  I colored the white pieces with copic markers like my banana, and strawberry and leaf from Build A Drink Cocktail die set.  I also colored the blender feet, and blender knobs.  I made it a shaker with cutting out a few blenders and some recycled packaging.  I also added some clay grapes and sequins.

I cut out my ink blended background with the largest die from the Scalloped Rectangle Stackables.  I cut out a smaller rectangle using Fruit Salad Berry Cute Paper 12 x 12.  I then stamped the cute bunny and smoothie images with Memento Tuxedo ink from the treat card add on stamp set.  I colored them in with my copic markers and fussy cut them out. I also stamped one sentiment on a copic colored  speech bubble with black ink from the Reveal Wheel Thought Bubble Add On dies.  Another sentiment was stamped and cut out as a fishtail banner.

Everything was glued to a coordinating card base that measures 6 1/4 x 5.  I popped up the inner speech bubble, bunny and smoothie, and banner sentiment.  I added some white gel pen accents and that finishes this card.  I had so much fun with this challenge and Lawn fawn products.  I am a smoothie drinker how about you?  I love strawberries and bananas with blueberries.  I also love a good tropical smoothie too using pineapple.

Wishing You Everything Happy

 Hello everyone! It's Woodblock Wednesday  I love this challenge, it's a fun way to give your Woodblock stamps some love. This challenge is hosted my my friend Amy Tsuruta.  I hope you can participate, it's really fun.  Usually you have until the following Monday to upload your cards.

On my card, I used this cute camper woodblock stamp from American crafts that was in my stash waiting to get inked.  I stamped it on white cardstock with black ink and colored it simply with my copic markers.  I then cut it out with a scalloped stitched rectangle craft die from Waffle Flower Crafts.  The pattern paper is from Echo Park called Imagine That Girl 6x6 paper pad.  I cut a rectangle and layered my camper.  I also cut pattern paper to glue to my white cardstock panel 4 x 5 1/4 as well as a strip.  

I stamped one of my all time favorite sentiments using the Woodblock stamp from Michaels Recollections with black ink onto my white panel.  I then glued everything with liquid glue.  I used my white gel pen for a few accents and glued some sequins to match.  Everything was glued to a kraft A2 card base.  I hope you like it.  I had a lot of fun making it.
