Spring into Christmas 2023 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Grinch ~ Gina Marie Designs

 Hello there crafty friend!
I'm back with my last card for the Spring into Christmas 2023 {BYSHC} Linky Party! It's also my last card for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 32. My card for today features a mix of products from a few of our wonderful Linky Party Sponsors.


I just LOVE the Grinch Stamp Set from Gina Marie Designs! I thought he'd be super fun as an ornament focal piece for this month's sketch. I used the Christmas Ornament & Bulb Tag Die Set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps to die cut the ornament layers. I also die cut another circle using the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies} from Sponsor Unity Stamp Co. to adhere over the ornament base. I colored the circle die cut with a few green copic markers... I used YG11, YG03, and G24.


I used the Holiday Collection paper pack from Avery Elle. I love all the different greens in the layers. My card front is Lemon Lime Twist card stock from Stampin' Up and my red mat is Real Red card stock also from SU.
 

Here's a look at this month's sketch 32. I turned the sketch for my card... I think the ornament fit better on a vertical card front. There's still a bit of time to play along with the sketch!! Entries must be submitted prior to April 30th at 11:59pm PST.


The ornament is adhered to the polka dot paper and then I popped up both pieces using a bunch of foam tape. I stamped the sentiment using Wow Clear Embossing ink on Lemon Lime Twist card stock and added some Real Red Glitter embossing powder from SU that I melted with a heat tool. I finished off the card with a little bow using Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon from SU that I adhered to the top of the ornament using a glue dot.


I have had SO much fun playing along with the Spring into Christmas 2023 {BYSHC} Linky Party! I hope that you've been inspired to make a few Christmas cards to relieve some of the holiday stress. I know that I am feeling great about the 9 cards I made. Thank you ALL so much for stopping by my blog and commenting on my cards. I've truly enjoyed each of the comments.

Crystal
