{BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party Day 8

Hello everyone.  Today is our last day for the {BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party. It's alway bittersweet.  I had so much fun and I hope you did too. Now's the time to get as many cards as you can done!  I have a Holiday card to share and hoping to have more we'll see 😉.  All projects must be Christmas, Hanukkah, Yuletide, wintry, etc.  Entries are not required to use products from our Sponsors to be eligible for a prize.  When linking up, please use your name only in the caption box as the title of your entry.  Please use the graphic and hashtag #christmasinjuly2025byshclp in your social media posts.  Without further ado here is my card.






I have a Christmas Snow Globe. I'm using a few Fabulous Sponsors today.  This wonderful Globe set called The Ultimate Snow Globe Shaker Die Set is from the Not 2 Shabby Shop and designed by Linh who is LV Handcrafted. I got the bundle and I love it.  It includes the die set, pattern paper, and more. I stamped a sentiment from the Not 2 Shabby Shop stamp set that's included in the bundle or by it's self called Winter Wishes for the sentiment plate with sponsor Gina K Designs ink cube in Christmas Pine.  I got a few confetti in there but I think the rest stuck to my foam tape LOL.  My background is using stencil Perfect Little Trees from sponsor A Colorful Life Designs. (Use VonFan10 to save). I also inked the stencil with Gina K Designs ink cube Christmas Pine on white cardstock.


And I colored up these cuties from our New Sponsor The Greeting Farm Mini-Remix Winter Stamp Set that is no longer in stock but maybe can be brought back in their Farmers Market.  I stamped my images in Memento ink Anya, Ian, and the tree on Neenah 110 pounds paper.  I then fussy cut them out.  I love the snow drift border die included with the Ultimate Snow Globe Shaker Die Set.  I used it with white cardstock.  When making my snow globe I used the 2 largest circle dies taped together and ran it through my Spellbinders Platinum 6.  I ran it through about 6 or 7 times using scrap paper from my stash.  I used acetate and for my shaker bits I used Kat Scrappiness Brilliant Snowflake Sequins and Garden Green Dots.  I used 3/4 foam strips around the base plate only a few snowflakes might shake I should have used the dots there also.  I love how it came out it was so much fun to make.  I glued everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I may put Ian in the inside of my card as I didn't have room in my shaker Globe.  I wanted my shaker bits to show.  I love how it shakes too.

{BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party Day 7

Hello everyone.  Today is Day 7 of the {BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party.  Tomorrow our Linky Party will end so make sure and get as many cards as you can finished.  I'm hoping to listen to that advice as well LOL. All projects must be Christmas, Hanukkah, Yuletide, wintry, etc.  Entries are not required to use products from our Sponsors to be eligible for a prize.  When linking up, please use your name only in the caption box as the title of your entry.  Please use the graphic and hashtag #christmasinjuly2025byshclp in your social media posts. 



Without Further Ado Here Is My Card



I used this fun New to me Ho Ho Ho Pissy Kitty Rubber Stamp from our Sponsor Unity Stamp Co.  I stamped the kitty on white cardstock with Memento tuxedo ink and colored it with my copic markers.  I then fussy cut it out.  I also used a retired Holly Embossing Folder from our Sponsor Taylored Expressions that I inked up with Crackling Campfire Oxide ink on a white cardstock 4 x 5 1/4 panel before running it through my die-cutting machine.  Looks orange in the photo but that's okay.  Matches my kitty.

I also had some leftover foiled toner card fronts in Slimline Reverse Polka from our Sponsor Therm O Web.  I used a Peekaboo circle die from our Sponsor Gina Marie Designs.  Next, I stamped a sentiment from the Ho Ho Ho Pissy Kitty Stamp set with black ink on white paper and cut it with my paper trimmer.  I glued everything to a A2 white card base 4 1/4 x 51/2 and popped up my sentiment with Therm O Web Jumbo Roll foam tape. That finishes my card I love how it turned out using a mix of Sponsors.  Later I added some white gel dots to my kitty's eyes.

{BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party Day 6

Hello everyone.  I'm so excited and having so much fun with the {BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party Today is Day 6. I hope you're participating and or hoping.  I love all the fun projects.  All projects must be Christmas, Hanukkah, Yuletide, wintry, etc.  Entries are not required to use products from our Sponsors to be eligible for a prize.  When linking up, please use your name only in the caption box as the title of your entry.  Please use the graphic and hashtag #christmasinjuly2025byshclp in your social media posts.  Without further ado here is my card.






On my card I used this EZ Wonder die #3 by Sponsor Not 2 Shabby shop and LV Handcrafted.  It's a great die and a favorite of mine.  I also used a Winter Critters EZ Postage Printable from LV Handcrafted. It's so great because she designed them for this EZ Wonder die so you know where to place your die on this printable and it will cut all the elements out. Is it addicting? Yes I printed like 4 different printables at a time.  I love them though. The digital Christmas sentiments work for this die too. I inked it a little and it smeared using Hero Arts Taffy ink. That's okay though.  Next, I stamped a rubber snowflake stamp from Sponsor Unity Stamps Co.  This is from the Advent calendar last year 2024.  


I know you can't tell to well but I used Sponsor A Colorful Life Designs for the Snowflake Grid stencil (use VonFan10 to save)that I also inked with the Hero Arts Taffy ink.  My inked background was cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I popped up my critters EZ Wonder #3 die-cut with Sponsor Therm O Web's foam tape.  Lastly, I added some Diamond Stickles for some sparkle on my card.  I think this card is fun and that Ferret makes me smile.

Another Holiday Card For Sketch 59 Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers

 Hello everyone.  I have another fun Holiday card using this months {BYSHC} Sketch 59 Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers. It's also Day 5 for the Christmas in July Linky Party. Lawn Fawn is our sponsor this month for our sketch challenge and you can win a $25 GC.


 Without further ado here is my card.











On my card for sketch #59 I used 2 different pattern papers.  The ivory plaid pattern paper is from Lawn Fawn our sponsor this month.  I also used some other pattern paper from my stash and cut it according to the sketch.  I used 2 ephemera die-cuts from Tim Holtz to represent my circle elements from the sketch.



I also cut out some blue cardstock 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  My wreath die-cut already had a sentiment so I kept it simple for this card.  A nice clean and simple card.  I glued everything to a A2 card base.  Yay for another Holiday card DONE. 

I hope you join us for the {BYSHC}Christmas in July Linky Party going on now.  All projects must be Christmas, Hanukkah, Yuletide, wintry, etc.  Entries are not required to use products from our Sponsors to be eligible for a prize.

{BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party Day 4

Hello I have another Holiday card for Day 4 of the {BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party.  All projects must be Christmas, Hanukkah, Yuletide, wintry, etc.  Entries are not required to use products from our Sponsors to be eligible for a prize.  When linking up, please use your name only in the caption box as the title of your entry.  Please use the graphic and hashtag #christmasinjuly2025byshclp in your social media posts. 



Without further ado here is my card

 


I have a fun Grinch Holiday card today.  I used Sponsor A Colorful Life Designs.  I used 3 stencils on this one.  Use VonFan10 to save.  I used Stink Stank Stunk 6x9 Stencil and I made a background using "Merry Grinchmas" with Concord and 9th Poppy ink on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 panel.  As for the Grinch face I used Grinch Season 6x6 stencil with Catherine Pooler Eucalyptus ink and fussy cut the Grinch's face.  The sentiment is also fussy cut and with Eucalyptus ink from Extra Grinchy 6x6 Stencil  You can get the Master Creator on sale of this Grinch Collection here. (Master Creators can not be used with other codes as they are already on sale)



I glued my panel to a A2 card base and I popped up my Grinch and sentiment with Sponsor Therm O Web foam tape.  I added some Hologram green card bling for fun.  That finishes this card and it would be easy and fun to batch a bunch of these cards. 
 I will be back with another Holiday card.  Happy Crafting
