BYSHC Christmas in July Linky Party Day 1

 Hello everyone.  I'm so excited for the BYSHC Christmas in July Linky Party.  The Linky Party will run from July 19-26.  All projects must be Holiday, Winter, Hanukkah, Yuletide, ETC.  Link your card to the BYSHC Linky Party here.  Please use Graphic for your posts and Use hashtag #christmasinjuly2024byshclp






I chose to use sponsors A Colorful Life Designs, Therm O Web, Taylored Expressions, Lawn Fawn, and Gina Marie Designs.  

On red cardstock, I ink blended Sponsor A Colorful Life Designs Layered Holly Stencil that contains 2 stencils. I used inks Lucky Clover Distress ink and Candied Apple Distress for my background.  It's a little difficult to see the berries so I ink blended a lacy frame that I cut out from sponsor Gina Marie Designs using white cardstock.  I ink blended it using Festive Berries Distress Oxide ink and Lucky Clover Distress ink and the same stencils.  I love how it looks on the frame die-cut.



I put this cute Beat together using Country Cottage Peeking Bear using colored cardstock.  I did ink blend the holly to match and ink blended the bear a little using Sponsor Lawn fawn Crunchy Leaf ink.  I glued everything to a A2 card base using Sponsor Therm O Web glue pen. I found a Taylored Expressions Christmas Sentiment strip in my stash and adhered my sentiment with a foam strip to my card. I  added some white gel accents using my gelly roll pen and that finishes my card.  I think it came out cute.  I hope you will join us!

BYSHC Sketch 47 for July 2024

 Hello everyone.  Can you believe it's July? I cannot.  I have a New Holiday card today for the New Sketch BYSHC #47.  It's a really fun one.  And we have been having sponsors for each month so great.  Taylored Expressions is our Sponsor this month.



On my card I used pattern paper from my stash and cut it according to the measurements of the sketch.  I love the layering on this one.  I used a stamp set from retired Ellen Hutson called Cozy Cuppa.  I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo ink on Neenah 110 pound paper.  I colored everything with my Copic Markers and fussy cut everything and lining my images with a black marker.


I glued everything to a A2 card base.  I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set and trimmed it with my paper trimmer.  I added a few white gel accents using my Gelly Roll pen.  I hope you like it and join our challenge this month you have until July 31 to do so for a chance to win.  Upload in the correct album in our Build your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Group.

Happy Crafting!
