BYSHC Spring into Christmas Day 8

Today’s the last day to link up any Christmas/winter creation on BYSHC Blog for BYSHC Spring into Christmas Linky Party. It will be open until 11:59 PST so don’t miss the chance to win a prize from one of our terrific sponsors.

For my last card, I used my favorite Gina K Designs with these mini penguins embellishments from Twiddler’s Nook. I used GKD Master Layout 5 to cut a window on Recollections Crystal Blues Paper Pad. I also cut out a white window to glue over the patterned paper. The penguins and sentiment is from Gina K Designs Playful Penguins stamp set and the trees are from her Winter Whimsy stamp Set. I layered the trees with three different blues to give it a little bit more interest.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Check the BYSHC Blog for all the beautiful creations made during this week.

BYSHC Spring into Christmas Day 7

One more day left to join us at BYSHC Spring into Christmas Linky Party! All you have to do is link up a Christmas/winter/holiday card on the blog and you get a chance to win an awesome prize from one of our awesome sponsors. You have until tomorrow 11:59 PDT to link up your card.

Our sponsor Not 2 Shabby has this free digital image in her shop so if you like what you see, grab it now. I added this image on Microsoft word and printed it out. I stamped sponsor Unity Stamp Mustache and Ho Ho Ho image from Advent Calendar 2021 into the middle of the cup. I colored the image with Copic markers and used white gel pen to make the mustache white since Santa has a white beard.

I used Sponsor Gina K Designs Master Layouts 5 stitched rectangle to die cut 6 pieces of white cardstock , cardstock with the image, acetate, and the Recollections Christmas Vellum Paper. For the white cardstocks, I basically cut them all where the stitches are to try to make them as even as possible to make my frame. To make my shaker card I layered two white frames, my frame with the image, acetate, and 4 more white frames from top to bottom. I then poured in my embellishments from Sponsor Twiddler’s Nook and some translucent stars from Recollections. I glued the vellum over a white cardstock and then glued it over the frame. Since I was going to make my shaker card a bit wonky and tilted, I decided to use Whimsy Stamps Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die Set to cut out my red base layer. I attached everything on to my white card and I was done.

Hopefully this has inspired you join us. Even if you don’t join us, you should still check out the blog and see all the beautiful inspirations. Come back tomorrow for the cards I have for the last day. Thank you for stopping by.

BYSHC Spring into Christmas ~ Day 6

Welcome back to Day 6 of BYSHC Spring into Christmas Linky Party. Play with us by linking up a Christmas/winter/holiday card on BYSHC Blog. Our party will last until April 29th.

For this card, I used our lovely sponsor Gina K Designs Ornament Snowflakes Stamp Set and Star Struck Stamp Set. I started off die cutting out my base and mat layers with Gina K Designs Master Layouts 1. I ink smooshed the background with Gina K Designs Red Velvet, Red Hot, Faded Brick, and Wild Dandelion Ink. I used the Star Struck stamp as garlands and have the snowflakes hang off of them. After heat embossing, I sprayed some gold water droplets with Artistic Isle Gold Paint over the panel to give it more shine.

Another view of the card to see some shine.

BYSHC Spring into Christmas ~ Day 5

We are half way through our Spring into Christmas Linky Party! You have until April 29th to join us by linking your winter creation on BYSHC Blog. Check the blog for all the beautiful inspirations being shared and the lovely sales some of our sponsors are having.

I’m sharing a mostly die cut card. I started off using our sponsor Gina K Designs Master Layout 7 to die cut the base layer and mat layer. The base layer is from Echo Park Christmas Magic paper pad. Then I used Spellbinders Christmas Ornament Border to die cut out my ornaments with a red glitter paper and a green foil paper. I stamped the sentiment from Gina K Designs Peace Love and Joy Stamp Set with her amalgam ink. Lastly, I put everything together on a white mini slimline card.

I hope this has inspired you to join is. Thank you for stopping by.

BYSHC Spring into Christmas ~ Day 4

Hi friends! Today I’m sharing an interactive Christmas card inspired by Jennifer Mcguire’s Floating Elements for BYSHC Spring into Christmas Linky Party. The ornament can move from side to side so it seems like the ornament is swinging.

I started off by using Gina K Designs Master Layouts #7 to die cut out the base and mat layers. I used sponsor Gina Marie Designs Grinch Theme Stamp for the hand and colored it with Copic Markers and Tombow ABT Pro alcohol markers. I die cut a small oval underneath the hand I stamped. On a separate cardstock, I die cut out a circle bigger than the oval.

I stamped Simon Says Stamp Winter Seals on a separate white cardstock and fussy cut it out. I stuck foam tape in the center of the circle die cut and layered the circle on the bottom underneath the oval opening. Then I laid the ornament on top of the foam tape over the base layer. Lastly, I stuck foam tape all over the bottom of the base layer and laid it over my mat layer.

Join us and share your creations on the BYSHC Blog for a chance to win some prizes from our generous sponsors. Thank you for stopping by.

BYSHC Spring into Christmas ~ Day 3

It’s day 3 of Spring into Christmas Linky Party! Some of our sponsors are actually having SALES for this event. Check the BYSHC Blog for more details.

Now for this adorable card. The My Favorite Things Paw La La La La Stamp speaks for itself. Too cute, so I made the card super simple. I started off by ink blending with Gina K Designs Sea Glass, Turquoise Sea, and Blue Denim from the center outwards. Then, I heat embossed the stamp with Gina K Designs Embossing Ink and Ranger Gold embossing powder. Lastly, I added some gold watercolor paint drops from Artistic Isle. I finished the card off by gluing the card stock panel on to a gold foil mat.

I hope you will join us by linking up your card on BYSHC Blog. I can’t wait to see all the beautiful creations. Don’t forget to check the sales with our sponsors.

BYSHC Spring into Christmas ~ Day 2

Welcome back to Day 2 of Spring into Christmas! I’m sharing a couple of cards created with our sponsor Gina K Designs’ Stellar Snowflake stencil. This was absolutely beautiful that I couldn’t stop at one card 😝. For the first card, I ink blended with Gina K Designs Sea Glass, Lovely Lavender, and Lucky Clover. Then, I added a thin layer of Gina K Designs’ White Glitz Glitter Gel over the ink. I stamped the sentiment from Gina K Designs Deck the Halls Mini with the Sea Glass. I used Gina K Designs’ Ocean Mist Cardstock for a mat for the card. They were die cut with Gina K Design’s Master Layout 1.

Another view of all that pretty glitter.

For my second card, I decided to ink blend the snowflake a rainbow color. I used Gina K Designs Red Hot, Tangerine Twist, Wild Dandelion, Lucky Clover, Blue Raspberry, and Wild Lilac. This time I added a thicker layer of the glitz gel, so the colors ended up being a bit more muted. I used Gina K Designs’ Peace die and Holiday Greetings sentiment sheets for the sentiment.

For the third card, I ink blended with Gina K Designs Sandy Beach, Lovely Lavender, and Soft Stone from the middle outward. I decided to use Inkon 3 Liquid Pixie Dust to add glitter to the card instead of the Glitz Gel. It gives it a more subtle, yet beautiful glitter and doesn’t add much weight to the card. I used Gina K Designs’ Peace Love and Joy for the sentiment.

I tried really hard to get all that glitter by taking the picture at an angle, but only some of that glitter came through. Just have to take my word for it that it’s SUPER glittery.

Which card did you like the most? My favorite is the first one because I love the colors the most. Join us at BYSHC Blog for more inspirations and a chance to win some prizes. You have until April 29th link up your card. Drop by tomorrow to see a super simple, adorable Christmas card.

BYSHC Spring into Christmas ~ Day 1

For my first card, I used products from two of our wonderful sponsors. My background was created with Gina K Designs Blue Raspberry, Blue Lagoon, and Passionate Pink ink. I inked my cubes on acetate, sprayed some water on the acetate, and smooshed the ink onto watercolor paper. After it dried, I heat embossed the snowflakes from Unity Stamp Advent Calendar 2021 with Gina K Designs Embossing Ink and Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder. I die cut out the background and purple mat with Gina K Designs Master Layouts 1 Die Set.

I stamped the Unity Stamp Mug from the Advent Calender 2021, colored the mug with Gina K Designs Wild Lilac ink, and fussy cut it out. I actually added some Inkon 3 Liquid Pixie Dust on the mug, but it wouldn’t show through the photo. It is very glittery in person✨. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from Sunny Studio Merry Mice with Gina K Designs Wild Lilac Ink to match the mug color.

The Linky Party will last from April 22nd – 29th. Don’t forget to link up a card for a chance to win a prize. I can’t wait to see what you create! Come back tomorrow for another holiday card!

A Rainbow Birthday

Welcome back! I finally got some time to play with Gina K Designs last kit, and I absolutely adore the Happy Birthday die. I had to make two cards since I took the letters from my first card and used it on my second card. I paired the die with a rainbow color theme because who doesn’t love some rainbow on their birthday.

For my second card, I used candles instead of stars. I didn’t space them right, and had an extra red candle. 🤣

  • Supplies:
    • Stamps: Gina K Designs Star Struck, Gina K Designs Birthday Bash
    • Die: GKD Birthday trio Die Set, GKD Master Layouts 1
    • Ink: GKD Red Hot, Tangerine Twist, Wild Dandelion, Lucky Clover, Blue Raspberry, Wild Lilac
    • Embellishment: Twiddler’s Nook White Rhinestones

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you like these cards as much as I do!
