{BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2024 Linky Party - snowflakes

 Likely the last one! Going car shopping for our daughter! {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2024 Linky Party ends tonight!

This card came about because of a giant stack of scraps! I have TOOOO many!! I grabbed a sketch from {BYSHC} #41. The snowflake stamp is from the 2023 Unity Advent Calendar and the paper I used is also from Unity Stamp Co. called Brilliant Blizzard.



I cut the circles using the scallops and circles nesting die set and mounted with foam adhesive over some white bakers twine. The flat sequins and cut apart sentiments are also from Unity.

I think I'm done for this Linky Party! WHEW!! I'm beat and my scrappy desk is a disaster! Thanks for all the love and playing along! Good luck to everyone!

 One more for the {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2024 Linky Party


I happened to have a stack of tiny scraps laying around so I found a sketch from a while back and threw them all together! 


All of the paper scraps are from Unity Stamp Co. Two different packs, but all from Unity. The sentiment is from Echo Park Gnome for Christmas.


The sketch is from Tawny Owl Paperie (one of our sponsors) and it's number 13!



{BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2024 Linky Party - Christmas Delivery

 One more for the {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2024 Linky Party! We're getting down to the last few hours!


This last one was also from the scrap bin...the Llama tag and the circle sentiment were both stamped at separate times, but look how cute they are together!!!


I colored the tag using Tombow ABT Markers. This was NOT stamped onto watercolor paper, so this was just straight coloring! The Llama is from Newton's Nook Designs but is unfortunately retired and sold out. However, there are more stamps to be had.....and another llama set! I added some white gel pen to accent. The circle was stamped using a stamp from Unity Stamp Co. which happens to be a part of the 2023 Advent Calendar. I had these two pieces together and not much else....so I brainstormed and remembered all the Tenia Nelson cards I have saved for so long and went with something similar! Red and white washi tape and some staples. Red burlap twine, foam tape and enamel dots for the finish!

Spring into Christmas 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party - Happy Christmas

 Hello again and TGIF! Today is the last day to enter the Spring into Christmas 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party!


I have managed to make more cards! Not sure how I did it, but nonetheless....here is one of them!


I used a bunch of sponsors on this one! The sketch is from {BYSHC} #18
, the paper and image are from RAM Stamps, the sentiment is from Unity Stamp Co. and the enamel dots are from Gina Marie Designs! I printed the image (Holiday Birds) and then colored with alcohol markers. The papers I printed on regular cardstock and cut per the measurements on the sketch (pictured below).

{BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2024 Linky Party - Joyful Greetings

May be my last card to post! My new job has definitely put a crimp in my crafting time!! Tonight marks the end of the {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2024 Linky Party!!


This card is a version of a card one of my fellow DT members (Vanessa) created a few days ago....#110 to be exact! Mine is similar, not exactly the same, but close!



I chose stamps from the ....cheerful prancing October 2017 Unity Sentiment Kit. Stamped these lovely silhouetted reindeer onto white cardstock with VersaFine Clair ink in nocturne. Die cut the edge using one of the edger dies from PinkFresh Studios classic edgers. The snowflake paper was the scrap left from the card I made Tuesday! It was still on my desk so....waste not want not! I also had a scrap of a similar color paper on my desk that I punched a few snowflakes from. The sentiment was cut out after I stamped it and realized that the strip of paper I was using was just too big! I also added some enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs.

Don't forget the link will close at midnight tonight! Be sure to not miss it!



Sketch 44 - Last but not least!

 After a great week long Linky Party, BYSHC has a few more days with Sketch 44!


Our sponsor this month is RAM Stamps! This sweet penguin scene was printed, colored and fussy cut to create this sweet focal point!  All patterned cardstock is also digital from RAM Stamps!  The penguin set is called Christmas Penguins and the paper is called Snowy Christmas.


RAM Stamps has provided us with a discount code that is valid through the month of April!



Below is a visual of the sketch! There are still a few days left to get entered!

Spring into Christmas 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party - Christmas Wishes

 Well I managed to get one more in! Don't forget the {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2024 Linky Party ends tomorrow night at midnight! 


Another digital image that was just waiting for some love! This one is from Angie Blom Digital Designs and it's called Blessings Poinsettia.


I colored the printed image with my Tombow ABT Markers. I did not print onto watercolor paper so these are just straight colored! Easy peasy! I tried to match the reds and greens to the background paper I grabbed. It is from PhotoPlay and it's called It's A Wonderful Christmas. I die cut both panels using the scallops and arches nesting dies from Unity Stamp Co.  To that I added some clear dew drops to simulate water droplets on the poinsettia petals. Some red burlap twine and foam adhesive to finish it off! 


Don't forget the link will close at midnight tomorrow!!
