Spring into Christmas 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party - Joy

 Hello again! I have two cards in one day?!?! How did that happen?! {BYSHC} are still accepting entries until Friday at Midnight! Be sure to get your entries in to be eligible for some amazing prizes!

My next card features an image from sponsor Angie Blom Digital Designs. There are two images in this set called Joy and Noel. 

This was another one of those images that was sitting in the "scrap" bin waiting to be given some love! I used my Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Pencils on this one. I literally kept coloring and water-ing until I liked the coloring! I added some black dots to the "Y" to match the "J".  The background patterned paper is from a recently acquired pad from PhotoPlay called It's a Wonderful Christmas! The "JOY" image was already torn so I followed suit with the bluish/green panel. I distressed the edges a little bit with some Vintage Photo Distress Oxide. I also added some white bakers twine and some foam tape to give it some dimension. The white enamel dots are perfect for this and come to you from Gina Marie Designs.

Be sure to link up your entries before Midnight on Friday the 26th! Also check out the sponsored prize list as well! Lots and lots of great prizes!!

{BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2024 Linky Party - Oh Christmas Tree

 Hello again and welcome back! {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2024 Linky Party is coming into the last few days!

Today's entry didn't go exactly as I had planned, but you make it work!! I started with several scraps (the diagonal stripe and the green)! I also wanted to incorporate a Unity Stamp Co. Membership kit because it is #unitymembershipmakes Wednesday! These two stamps are both from the September 2015 Kit of the Month called Our Hearts to Yours. I stamped onto white cardstock with Black VersaFine Clair ink. Colored in with my Tombow ABT Markers. After coloring I added some Nuvo Aqua Shimmer in Midas Touch to the stars and ornaments. Enamel dots are from Gina Marie Designs.

you can kind of see the shimmer!

{BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2024 Linky Party - Heart of Christmas

 Hello again! {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2024 Linky Party is still at hand! I am going through the "save for later" bin and creating cards that wouldn't have been before! :)

Not sure why this stamped snowflake heart was put into the save bin!

I had previously saved a picture of a card from the Unity Stamp Co. website for this particular stamp and thought I would recreate it as best as I could! Lisa Arana created the original, I hope my card is close!! The stamped image is from Unity Stamp Co. called Heart of Christmas. I stamped with versamark embossing ink and used gina k designs white embossing powder. Die cut with the scallops and squares nesting dies, also from Unity. I then distressed the edges a big with some vintage photo distress oxide. The patterned paper came from a pack I just got at the Scrapbook Expo a couple weekends ago and it was perfect! It comes from PhotoPlay called It's a Wonderful Christmas. I added some white bakers twine and some enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs. The sentiment was cut from a digital print from Angie Blom Digital Designs! Lots of sponsors getting love in this card!

Be sure to check out the list of sponsors on the {BYSHC} Blog for more details and be sure to get your cards posted before it's all over!!

{BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2024 Linky Party - O Holy Night!

 Hello again and welcome back! The Spring into Christmas 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party is happening!

Today's card features a few of the amazing sponsors, Unity Stamp Co., Gina Marie Designs and Tawny Owl Papiere!

As I've said before, I'm going through the discard bins and pulling things together that have been set aside for just the right time! I know you have one.....we all do!! This stamp is a Unity Stamp Co. Itty Bitty stamp called Brightly Shining! It's a sweet little tree shaped sentiment that is a perfect focal point! First I die cut the circle with one of  the scallops and circles nesting dies from Unity and tried a new-to-me technique that has been featured in a video by Lisa Arana on the Unity Blog to use the die as a guide to ink blend!! I absolutely love it and can see me doing this A LOT! After it was die cut, I ink blended with Antique Linen and then stamped the image with VersaFine Clair in Nocturne. I had this idea in my head about the background. I had recently acquired some Hero Arts texture paste in white pearl and wanted to give it a try! Onto a dark blue piece of patterned paper I used a random dot stencil (I think it was Unity but I don't see it on their website currently) and the white pearl texture paste and created a "starry" background! After I used the paste I thought it needed more.....so I *gasp* sprinkled fine glitter over it! :| Oh boy! It did get a little out of hand, but not terrible! LOL I chose a sketch from Tawny Owl Papiere Inky Inspiration. I love a good sketch and she does post a sketch quite often! So I found a sketch that would work with my circle and cut the background panel per the measurements! I added some enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs and we're finished! Not exactly what I had pictured in my mind, but I do love it nonetheless!

BYSHC Spring into Christmas 2024 Linky Party! Tis the season!

 Welcome back!! The Spring into Christmas {BYSHC} Linky Party is going strong!

My next entry is brought to you by another amazing sponsor Angie Blom Digital Designs!

As always seems to happen with these linky parties is that I'm never prepared! :) I started a new job and my daughter has dance competition all weekend which leave very little time to get any cards made! So what does one do when short on time?!? Dig through the already printed or stamped images and make something amazing! :) That's what I did with this one! I had this set aside to work on "eventually" and who knew it would be sooner than later! The background papers are from Heidi Swapp, the sentiment is a cut apart from Unity Stamp Co. The Santa image is from Angie Blom Digital Designs and is called Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas. I colored santa with King Art Alcohol Markers and cut him out with the scalloped and rectangle nesting dies from Unity Stamp Co. I did happen to follow the newest sketch (#20) from Tawny Owl Papiere! I've added it below!

Added some foam tape and a brad and he's ready to go!!

It's Spring into Christmas 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party!

 Welcome Back to the BYSHC Spring into Christmas 2024 Linky Party! Today's card features one of our sponsors RAM Stamps!

The name of this digital set is called Woodland Snowman. I colored with some alcohol markers to somewhat coordinate with the paper pack that is also from RAM Stamps, called Snowy Christmas. This sweet scene was fun to color! This little girl and her snowman are just precious!

I also used some cut apart sentiment strips and scalloped and stitched dies from Unity Stamp Co, as well as some enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs. All of which are also sponsors!!

Welcome to the Spring Into Christmas 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party!

 Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Spring into Christmas 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party! Get ready for a week of fun and inspiration! At the end of the week....there will be prizes! Be sure to get your entries in before midnight on the 26th!

Now let's get started!

This card was created using the TOP Inky Inspiration Sketch #19 (picture below).  The background papers (snowy winter greetings), stamped image (KOM November 2023 {festive flair}) and circle die are all from Unity Stamp Co. I stamped the tree image using stormy sky distress oxide and embossing with clear embossing powder from Ranger. After melting the embossing powder I die cut the circle and distressed the edges with some walnut stain distress ink.  It needed something else, so I grabbed another image from the November 2023 KOM...the distressed plaid stamp. I used antique linen distress oxide and just sort of "pounced" it around a little. I then added some stardust stickles all over the trees to make them sparkle! The sentiment strip was a freebie from Unity Stamp Co., a cut apart sheet of sentiments. Mounted the circle and sentiment strip with some foam tape and added some blue enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs for interest.
