Christmas in July Linky Party Extra Christmas Card

 Hello everyone.  I have another card for the BYSHC Christmas in July Linky Party Day 7.  Today is almost the last day and I may still be able to get another one finished.  I hope you were able to achieve some Holiday cards for the Linky Party.  Use hashtag #christmasinjuly2024byshclp





I used Sponsor Angie Blom Digital Designs for my card as well as a square die from New Sponsor Waffle Flower.  I had the Joyful Christmas Ride Digital Kit printed out for me already probably from the previous Linky Party or a previous sale.  It was printed on watercolor paper so I colored it in with a Altenew paint pan set.  I had fun watercoloring.  I then cut it out with a square die from Waffle Flower Nesting Additional Square Dies 


I found some pattern paper in my stash and glued everything to a A2 card base.  I tied a  twine bow and glued some sequins.  It was pretty easy and fun.  And another card to add to my stash.

Christmas in July Linky Party Day 7

 Hello everyone.  I cannot believe how fast this week has gone???  I guess because it has been so much fun.  It's Day 7 for the BYSHC Christmas in July Linky Party.  I hope your having fun making your Holiday cards.  Whoa I have seen some amazing inspiration!!! Use Graphic and Hashtag #christmasinjuly2024byshclp




I have a simple notecard today that I believe would be fun design to batch for the Holidays.  I used Sponsor Gina K Designs.  On my card base that's 4 x 51/4 I masked my notecard with some tape and ink blended with Blueprint Sketch Distress ink and Uncharted Mariner Distress ink.  I flicked some water and dried the excess with a clean paper towel.



Next, I stamped a sentiment from the Holiday Wreath Builder stamp set with black ink.  I cut out the Santa Silhouette die which is new to me with black cardstock.  I glued my die-cut to my card and that finishes this card.  Easy Peasy. Yay.  I love how easy it was and it's flat for my envelope so no extra postage.

Christmas in July Challenges

 Hello everyone.  I've been having so much fun with Christmas in July.  Did you know Kat Scrappiness has a challenge going on? It's a fun one pick 3 Parameters.  And there is 2 winners so great.




And A Amazing Sale.  Kat Scrappiness Ships Fast too.





So for my Holiday Card I created a simple card that would be great to batch or mass produce.  This challenge is so much fun you pick 3 parameters and there is 2 bug prizes.  You should definitely check it out.  

For my 3 Parameters:

 I used Mainly Red and Green, Holiday Tree (Christmas Tree), and a Focal Sentient

I die cut my background using a Embossed Edge Rectangle die with the Starlight Jewel Remixed 6x6 Paper pack.  I used the Brush Christmas Tree with white and green paper and glued them together. I ink blended the green tree with Lucky Clover Distress ink to make it a slight darker.  I cut out the Jingle all The Way Craft Word Die with a solid red pattern paper from the Magical Memories 6x6 paper pad.  I also cut it out with the green paper.  I glued them together.  I also cut out the star from the Brush Christmas tree using the same red solid pattern paper.


I glued everything to a White Side Folding A2 card base.  I didn't add embellishments because it might be 4 parameters if I did and the challenge is for 3.  Although I might have more on my card lol.  I love how it came out. Good luck with the challenge.  You can link your card on the KS Blog here

Christmas in July Linky Party Day 5

 Hello everyone.  Can you believe it's Day 5 for the BYSHC Christmas in July Linky Party?  Only a few days left so I hope you join us.  We have some amazing sponsors.  Use graphic and hashtag #christmasinjuly2024byshclp so we can comment on your projects.





For my Holiday card today I used sponsors Twiddlers Nook and Therm O Web.  I started out by finding some embellishments from Twiddlers Nook and I liked these trees.  So I found some pattern paper with trees and a stamp image with a tree.  I chose this cute STAMPtember set collab with Mama Elephant and Simon Says Stamp called Capy Holidays.  I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo ink and colored them in with my Copic Markers.  I then fussy cut my images out. 


I had some Therm O Web Reverse Polka Dot foil in my stash so I glued it to a 4 x 51/4 cardstock with my pattern paper.  I love to make infinity shaker cards.  I used a A2 sleeve and taped it as tight as I could around my panel of pattern paper and foiled background using a tape runner.  I then slipped in my tree clay embellishments and sealed it some more with my tape runner.  I then glued my shaker to a A2 card base.  I stamped my sentiment from the same stamp set on white cardstock with black ink.  I cut it to fit my card and popped up my sentiment and images with a foam tape roll from Therm O Web.  I think it came out cute.

Christmas in July Linky Party Day 4 and Sketch Challenge

 Hello everyone.  I'm popping in today for Day 4 of the BYSHC Christmas in July Linky Party.  We also have the BYSHC Sketch Challenge #47 Still going on.  Taylored Expressions is our sponsor and is a sponsor for our linky party.  So great.








So I chose to use Sponsor Taylored Expressions for my card today.  I am loving this sketch and I love this cute snowman.  I used the Snow Squad Die and Clear Stamp combo.  I put my snowman together using cardstock and pattern paper.  I gave him some cheeks too with a copic marker.




I used some fun Christmas Pattern paper from my stash.  Some paper I believe is from Doodlebug.  (Some that I had hoarded).  I glued everything together onto a pink A2 card base.  I also added a sentiment strip using simple strips Christmas and the coordinating die.  I hope you will join us on both the Linky Party and Sketch Challenge.  Just upload to the BYSHC Blog and our facebook group for the challenge.

I chose to use Sponsors Unity Stamp Co. and Therm O Web.  

I started out foiling my Therm O Web Slimline Toner Card Front Revers Polka with Thermowebs Color Harmony Transfer Foil in Crimson Shattered Glass.  I used my Heidi Swapp Minc Machine to achieve my results.  I had so much fun and I made a few extras for future projects.  Therm O web is Amazing.  I love how my background looks.  



Next, I stamped Sponsors Unity Stamp Co. Comfort To Go Red Rubber Stamp onto white cardstock using Catherine Pooler Samba ink.  I then used Sponsor Unity Stamp Co. for the Scallops and Rectangle dies to cut my coffee out.  I then layered my rectangle onto black cardstock.  I stamped a sentiment with black ink and cut it out to be a fishtail banner.  I cut my foiled background to be 4 x 5 1/4.  I glued everything to a A2 kraft card base.  I used Sponsor Therm O Web for the big roll of foam tape to place on the back of my sentiment before adhering to my card.  Lastly, I glued some red sequins.  

I hope you can join us this week.  Linky Party ends July 26.
