BYSH Cardmakers Christmas in July Linky Party

 

Today is the start of the BYSH Cardmakers Christmas in July Linky Party. We hope you will join us during the party. We have 21 sponsors, so several new sponsors!

Here is my first project for the party.

My card is a standard A2 card and features pattern papers from My Favorite Things. My image is a print and cut image from Cricut Design Space cut at 3.25" high. My image is adhered with some very sticky foam tape from returning sponsor Thermo-Web. My sentiment is from another sponsor, Lawn Fawn. I used some circle dies from my stash to die cut the sentiment and red layering circle. That too is adhered with that foam tape from Thermo-Web. If you are looking for a good foam tape, I highly recommend it.

Thanks for stopping by today. I am slowly getting back to my cardmaking so you should be seeing more projects on my blog.

Now, I hope you will head over to the BYSH Cardmakers blog and check out the rest of the Design Team projects and then link up your projects so we can see them and a chance to win one of our wonderful prizes offered by our great sponsors.

Welcome back! It's day 3 of the BYSH Cardmakers Christmas in July Linky Party. Today I have a simple card. I recently purchased an A2 size paper pad from Waffle Flower one of our party sponsors. The paper pad is called Seasons Greetings. This blue holly paper was the first sheet in the paper pad, and I fell in love with it.

I added a piece of that pattern paper to my card base. I added a simple Merry Christmas sentiment. I cut the shadow from blue cardstock and the main layer from red cardstock. I used an Easy Cut Adhesive sheet that I applied to the back of my cardstock. I then ran it through my die cutting machine and I had an instant sticker. The Easy Cut Double Sided Adhesive sheets are from Therm o Web another party sponsor. I popped up my sentiment using some iCraft 3D Foam adhesive, which is also from Thermo O Web. I finished my card with a few white confetti.

BYSH Cardmakers Spring into Christmas Linky Party Day 2

 

I have my day 2 project for the BYSH Cardmakers Spring into Christmas Linky Party. My project today features a die set from sponsor Gina Marie Designs and pattern paper from Echo Park.

I cut my die from some white glitter cardstock. I found a circle die in my stash to die cut black cardstock to fit behind my glitter die cut. Before adhering the circles together, I added some white spatter to the black circle. 

My cardbase is heavyweight white cardstock cut, scored and folded to make an A2 cardbase. My black snowflake pattern paper is cut to 4" X 5 1/4". My plaid pattern paper is cut to 3 3/4" X 5".  I adhered both to my cardbase with some liquid adhesive. Next, I adhered my white glitter cardstock to my spattered black circle. I used some foam tape to adhere that to my card front. 

I added my sentiments and finished with some black sequins. 

I hope you will join the party and link up your project. Thanks for visiting.

My first project for the party features pattern paper and an image from Doodlebug.

I started with a heavyweight white cardstock that was cut, scored and folded to make a standard A2 size card base. I cut a piece of green pattern paper to 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" and adhered it to the front of my card base. Next, I cut two different pieces of pattern paper down to 4" X 5 1/4" then cut them in two diagonally. I then adhered them to my card. I added a 1/4" strip of bright green cardstock over the seam.

I used an arch die to cut a piece of red dotted pattern paper to adhere my image to.  I found my image in the Silhouette store. I made it a print then cut image and used my Silhouette portrait to cut out my image. I adhered it to my red pattern paper after stamping my sentiment. I used some foam tape to adhere my focal point to my card. I added some stickles to the sprinkles, the cheeks, and holly berry.

I hope you will head over to the BYSH Cardmakers blog to check out the design team's inspiration projects, then link up your project for a chance to win one of the awesome prizes offered by our sponsors.

BYSH Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Linky Party Day 6

 I'm back today with my project for day six of the BYSH Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Linky Party. 

My card today uses a 3" X 4" Watercolor Panel from Taylored Expressions one of our awesome sponsors. I used some Zig True Brush Markers to color the berries and holly leaves. I used some gold metallic watercolor to point the ribbon and frame around the image as well as the smaller dots by the holly. I also used that gold paint to add some fun splatters to the panel.

My card base is a standard A2 card size made from heavyweight white cardstock. The pattern paper is from a Carta Bella paper pad that I cut down to 4" X 5 1/4". I adhered my pattern paper to my card base with some Bearly Arts glue, a new sponsor.  I popped my panel up with some foam tape and added it to the center of my card. A quick and easy card.

I hope you will head over to the BYSH Cardmakers and link up you project for a chance to win one of the fabulous prizes donated by our sponsors.  

BYSH Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Linky Party Day 5

 

My project for day five of the BYSH Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Linky Party features two more of our great sponsors, Pink and Main and Tawny Owl Paperie.

Here's a look at the sketch from Tawny Owl Paperie that I used for my project today.

For my card today I used a card sketch by Tawny Owl Paperie. My pattern papers are from an older Pink and Main 6" X 6" paper pad.

My card base is a standard A2 size made from heavyweight white cardstock. I cut my pattern papers according to the sizes on the sketch and adhered them to my card base with some Bearly Arts glue, another Linky Party Sponsor.

My penguin was cut using my Cricut Joy Xtra. I found him in Design Space and cut him at 3". I used more of the pattern paper for my penguin's hat. I adhered him to my card front with some foam squares. I added some Twinkle Stickles to the pompom and cuff of the hat. I stamped my sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.

I hope you will head over to the BYSH Cardmakers blog to link up your project for a chance to win a prize from one of our sponsors.

BYSH Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Day 4

 

Welcome to day four of the BYSH Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Linky Party.

My project today features some products from one of our sponsors, Taylored Expressions. My card is a standard 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" A2 card base. My pattern papers are from Scrapbook.com's Christmas Watercolors 2 5" X 6" paper pad. My background pattern paper is cut to 4" X 5 1/4".

I stamped one of the reindeer from the Taylored Expressions Woodland Reindeer Silhouettes stamp set in Versamark ink on black cardstock and embossed it with some Wow Angel Wings glitter embossing powder. I used the coordinating die to cut the reindeer out. I used some Spellbinders Arch Dies to cut two arches from more of the pattern paper. I layered them together, attached my reindeer to the arch paper with my Bearly Arts Glue another of our wonderful sponsors. I then added more adhesive to attach my arches to the left side of my card.

Next I stamped my sentiment from the same stamp set on some white cardstock with VersaFine Nocturne ink. I used a circle die to cut my sentiment out. I adhered the sentiment to my card base with some thin foam squares. To finish the card I added some Honey Bee Stamps Moon Dust confetti mix. They are a holographic white even though they look blue in the photo.

BYSH Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Linky Party Day 3

 

Welcome to day three of the BYSH Cardmakers Falling into Christmas Linky Party. My project features some products from one of our sponsors, Gina K Designs.

My card base is heavyweight white cardstock cut scored and folded to make a standard A2 card. Next I took some Gina K Design blue cardstock and used the snowflake stamps from the Wishing You stamp set and stamped them with Versamark ink and white embossing powder to create my background.

I then used the White Silver Pearl Powder from Kat Scrappiness to add some shimmery sprinkles to my card panel.

Next I found a print and cut image of a snowman I liked and printed him and cut him out with my Cricut Joy Xtra. I added him to my card front with some foam tape.

Next I stamped my sentiment also from the Wishing You stamp set on some white cardstock. 

To finish the card I added some Twinkle Stickles to the pompom, hat brim and around the snowman.

BYSH Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Linky Party Day 2

 

So happy to have you stop by for some Day 2 inspiration for the BYSH Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Linky Party.

For day two I'm featuring some products from Lawn Fawn, one of our great sponsors. My card today is a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" A2 card. I used a die from the Lawn Fawn Stackable Scalloped Rectangle Die set to cut my pattern paper which is from the Lawn Fawn Favorite Flannel 6" X 6" paper pad.

I used the dies from the Lawn Fawn Winter Wonderland Window die set to cut my snowflake edge frame out of some white glitter cardstock. I used just the arch die to cut my window background out of some light gray pattern paper from the Let it Shine Snowflakes 6" X 6" paper pad.

I then stamped my images from the Lawn Fawn Winter Birds Add-on stamp set onto some Xpress-it white cardstock. I colored my images with my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend brush markers. Once my images were colored I cut them out with the coordinating dies. I assembled my images and adhered them to my window. I added some Stardust Stickles to the snow on the roof, just above the bottom of the bird house and a little over the door. I then stamped my sentiment which is from the same stamp set as my images, and adhered everything to my card base with my Bearly Arts glue. Bearly Arts is a new sponsor for our Linky Party.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will check out all the inspiration and linked up projects over at the BYSH Cardmakers blog. Also be sure to check out our list of sponsors and the prizes that they are offering.

BYSH Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Linky Party

 Welcome to the first day of the BYSH Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Linky Party. The party runs October 20-27,2023.  Once again we have some awesome sponsors who are giving away some fantastic prizes.

Here is my first project for the party.

My card today features the A Wonderful Tree red rubber stamp from Unity Stamps who is one of our sponsors.

My card base is some MFT Kraft cardstock cut, scored and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. The stamp gave me a vintage feel so that's what I made a vintage card. 

I stamped my image on some white cardstock. Since the image is a single stamp I colored it with markers to stamp it. I did have to stamp it multiple times so was glad I used my Mini Misti. Once my image was stamped I let it dry for awhile. 

While waiting for the ink to dry I made my card base. I have a paper pad that I got from Hobby Lobby that is all vintage paper. I found this diagonal striped paper that I thought worked well for my card. I cut the pattern paper to 4" X 5 1/4" and adhered it to my card base. 

I then went back to my stamped image and distressed it with some Tea Dye Distress ink. I then cut my image down close to the image. I then distressed the edges of the paper with my scissors. I then inked the edges with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I then adhered that to the center of the pattern paper.

To finish my card I stamped a sentiment on a scrap of white cardstock with black ink. I used a sentiment banner die to cut out the sentiment.  distressed the sentiment strip with the same Distress Inks and adhered it to the card below my stamped image with some thin foam strips. I added some small green, red, and gold gemstones to the tree.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will pop over to the BYSH Cardmakers and link up a project or two for a chance to win one of the awesome prizes. See you soon.
