Spring into Christmas 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Believe in the Magic, Santa ~ Angie Blom Digital Designs

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm so excited to share my first card for the Spring into Christmas 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party hosted by the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group!! This is our fourth annual Spring Linky Party!! Woohoo! Just a note... though it has Spring in the name the linky party is focused on Christmas and wintry holiday cards. It's a great way to get ahead on those holiday cards to relieve some of the stress later on in the year during the holidays. I am super excited to add a bunch of cards to my Christmas card stash and I sure hope that you'll join in the fun. 

For my first card I'm featuring the super cute Believe in the Magic, Santa Digital Stamp from our wonderful return Sponsor Angie Blom Digital Designs. I adore this digi stamp! I paired this sweet stamp up with the Santa's Workshop 6x6 Paper Pad from Carta Bella. I adhered all my layers to a white A2 top fold card base using the iCraft UltraBond Adhesive from our lovely Sponsor Therm O Web.

I combined and resized the Santa digi and the sentiment in a Word Document and printed it off. I then die cut it using a large stitched circle die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies} from our fabulous Sponsor Unity Stamp Co. And then I Copic colored Santa using a bunch of Copic markers. Here's a quick list:

Skin: E000, E11, E11, R20

Hair / Beard: C00, C1, C3, Colorless Blender

Santa's Suit: R20, R14, R46, C00, C1, C3

Belt ~ N1, N3, N5, Y11, Y15

Gloves / Santa's Bag: N1, N3, N5

Bow: R20, R14, R46

I adhered my papers to a 5 x 3-3/4" piece of Real Red card stock from Stampin' Up. I adhered my panel to a 5-1/2 x 4-1/4" piece of pattern paper and then adhered the panel to a white A2 top fold card base that I turned on its side. I covered the back of the circle with foam tape and then popped it up on the card. And I finished off the card using a few enamel dots from the coordinating Santa's Workshop Enamel Dots from Carta Bella.

My card was inspired by the {BYSHC} Sketch 41 that we used back in January. This sketch has definitely become a favorite! Have you visited the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group? We host a fun sketch challenge each month to inspire our holiday cardmaking all year long. I love revisiting the sketches and will likely be sharing a few during the Linky Party.

I'm also a Sponsor for the Spring into Christmas 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party!! I have a wonderful prize set aside for one lucky winner. No picture this time. That way it'll be a fun surprise! For a chance to win my fun prize make a Christmas card and link it up to the linky party blog post on the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers blog. Stop by the Spring into Christmas 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party to check out all the wonderful Holiday inspiration that's already been shared from our Sponsors and the {BYSHC} Design Team!!
