{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.

Build Your Sketch Holiday Cardmakers Card Sketch For April

 Hello everyone.  Happy April.  I'm so happy to share a New Sketch from Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch 56.  This is a fun sketch that I believe you can use your scrap pattern papers.  A great way to use what you have to get your Holiday cards ready early for the year.

I chose some retired Prima pattern papers from a Christmas 6x6 paper pack called Santa Baby.  I love the pinks and mint in this collection.  I cut my papers accordingly to the sketch reference.  I stamped a cute gingerbread man stamp from a Unity Stamp Co. advent calendar set with black ink and colored it in simply.  I also fussy cut it out.  I felt it went with the gingerbread house and cookies and milk them from my pattern papers.

I used a chevron patterned A2 card base for my card with a sentiment strip ready for me from my stash from a retired Waffle Flower Label Maker Sentiments Stamp and Coordinating die.  I hope you join us this month we always have a prize.  Visit our FB group for lots of inspiration and a album for you to upload your card sketch project.

Christmas in July Extra card for the Last Day

 Hello everyone.  I managed to make an extra card for the BYSHC Christmas in July Linky Party. Today is the last day.  I wanted to use all the Amazing sponsors but of course that didn't happen.  I did have fun though and I hope you did too.  Use hashtag  #christmasinjuly2024byshclp

Okay, I tried to make a card like Jenni from the DT and I couldn't but I still think it came out cute.  I used 1/2 strips of pattern paper scraps.  I glued them to copy paper using Sponsor Therm o Web's liquid glue and then cut my strips again leaving white space in between my strips.  I cut them again and then glued them to white cardstock diagonally.  I still like all the reds pattern papers.  When I was done I cut out my background using Sponsor Unity Stamp Co. with a scalloped rectangle die.

I used a circle die from sponsor Waffle Flower using the same pattern papers I was working with.  I then used a bigger circle die with white cardstock to glue my pattern paper circle to.  I had these cute hamsters from retired Waffle Flower Coffee Shop Hamsters stamp set and coordinating die set colored up and cut out for me.  Makes me think of the red coffee cups from Starbucks.  I love Holiday coffees.  I glued everything to a A2 kraft card base.  I popped up a hamster and my sentiment strip using Taylored Expressions.  I added some red enamel dots and that finishes this card.
