Christmas in July 2021 {BYSHC} Hop ~ Magic of Christmas ~ Polka Dot Orchard

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm actually sharing two cards for the Christmas in July 2021 {BYSHC} Hop!! I'm using the first digi stamp that I illustrated for Sponsor Polka Dot Orchard called Magic of Christmas! This digi stamp set is near and dear to my heart since it's the first one I ever made, but also because it's Christmas! Christmas makes me happy and playing with this fun digi stamp set makes me happy. Let's check out the cards I made.

My first card features the adorable Santa's bag filled with gifts... I paired it up with paper from the Santa's Workshop paper pad by Carta Bella. I used colors from the papers to color up the image. Here's a list of the Copic markers I used:

Bag ~ R000, R14, R46, R89, Y06, Y15, Y35, Y38

Bear ~ E21, E23, E25, E51, R01, R20

Polka Dot Gift ~ R000, R14, R46, Y06, Y15

Blue Gift ~ B0000, B00, B91, Y06, Y15, Y35

Book ~ G24, G46, E23, E51, B0000, B00

Silver Gift ~ G24, G46, N0, N1, N3

Ground ~ N0, N1, N3

I die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die with rounded corners. I adhered it to the pattern paper and finished off the card with some beautiful Green Flat Back Rhinestones from Sponsor Twiddler's Nook. Loving these pretty rhinestones!

My second card using the Magic of Christmas digi stamp set from Sponsor Polka Dot Orchard features Santa belt. A super simple card with a bit of coloring... I hadn't planned on going so big with the sentiment, but had to cover a booboo when the original sentiments got colored in too much. I used the following Copic markers for this card:

Belt ~ N1, N3, N5, N7

Belt Buckle ~ Y06, Y15, Y28, Y35, Y38

Background ~ R000, R01, R14, R20

I die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die and adhered it to a card front of black card stock. I finished off this card with a few of the white clay snowflakes from the Happy Feet Embellishment Mix by Sponsor Twiddler's Nook! Even though I had to go bigger with the sentiment, I still like how it turned out.
