Welcome back to another day filled with Christmas cards. Link up your newly made Christmas card at BYSHC Spring into Christmas Linky Party for a chance to win. Check the blog for all the details, but the more cards you enter, the higher the chance to win.

Today, I have a fun card to share. I’m featuring our sponsors Gina Marie Designs and Taylored Expressions. I started with ink blending a white cardstock with Altenew Iceberg, Eastern Sky, and Ultramarine ink. Then I die cut with GMD’s Stitched Snowflake Background Plate Die. I decided to give it more depth by gluing the middle of the snowflakes back in.

Next I stamped, heat embossed, copic colored, and die cut the bear from TE Big Grumpy stamp and die combo. I decided it would be fun to color the bear lightly with blue to give it a snow look. I used the sentiment from our sponsor Newtons Nook Designs Frozen Fellowship stamp set.

Lastly, I added the bear with our sponsor Gina K Designs Action Wobbles. Check out my Instagram to see it wobbling. It’s so much fun. I can’t add videos on my blog, so please do check out my Instagram to see it in action.

BYSHC Christmas in July 2025 Linky Party~ Day 5

It’s day 5 of BYSHC Spring into Christmas Linky Party and super excited to share this super shiny card. I’m playing with our sponsors Unity Stamp Co, Therm-O- Web, Gina K Designs, and Pink & Main.

I used Gina K Designs Radiant Red to foil Therm-O- Web’s Decofoil Candy Stripes Toner Card Fronts. Then I took the negative Radiant Red foil and foiled it on to Gina K Designs Poly Glaze Sheet. I foiled Gina K Designs Sparkling Silver on the rest of that poly glaze sheet to get both foils.

Next, I stamped Unity Stamp Christmas Crew at an angle on a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″. I fussy cut the bottom with an angle and copic colored the image. I glued it to the top and added a tiny strip of black cardstock. Lastly, I added a sentiment from Pink & Main Christmas Sentiments Foilables Cut Ups. I love how this turned out.

BYSHC #59 ~ Birdie Friends

Hi crafty friends! I’m back with a new BYSHC sketch challenge #59 using Waffle Flower’s Birdie Friends in Winter Die. It’s a simple layered sketch. Here it is.

Instead of coloring the birds, I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Sprays. I sprayed them on to white cardstock, wait until they dried, and die cut the pieces. I used Mermaid Lagoon for the birds and Carved Pumpkin for the beaks. I used Distress Mica Stain Winter Frost for the scarf and circle mats. For my hat, I used red cardstock. Lastly, I used the matching stencils to stencil in the eyes.

I used Pink & Main Layered Circle Dies to die cut a white cardstock and stenciled some clouds. I glued on my branches and added my birds. I foiled Lapis Watercolor Deco Foil on to Pink & Main Christmas Sentiments. Lastly, I followed the sketch and cut some paper from Echo Park My Favorite Christmas paper pad. I glued everything together and I was done.

Thank you for stopping by. Be sure to check to check out BYSHC’s blog to see more inspirations. We have an awesome sponsor this month, Lawn Fawn, so play along in BYSHC Facebook group for a chance to win.
