Christmas in July 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Winter Sparrows ~ Lawn Fawn

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm so excited to share my first card for the Christmas in July 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party hosted by the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! It's hard to believe that this is our fifth annual Christmas in July Linky Party. Even though were in the middle of Summer 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 few more holiday 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 sweet Winter Sparrows from our awesome Sponsor Lawn Fawn. I stamped the branch and cute birds using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Colored them up with Copic markers. And then I die cut the birds using a circle die from the Large Cross-Stitched Circle Stackables dies from Lawn Fawn. 

Here's a quick list of the Copic Markers I used to color up the sweet birds

Birds ~ Y11, Y15, Y35, YR15, YR16

Hat ~ R20, R14, R46, C00, C1, C3

Ear Muffs ~ YG11, G24, G46

Background ~ B0000, B000

I paired up the cute Winter Sparrows with the sweet Knit Picky 6x6 Paper Pack. These papers are retired but Lawn Fawn does have the beautiful Knit Picky Winter 6x6 Paper Pack. I adhered the simple layer of pattern paper to a white A2 top fold card base turned on its side using the iCraft UltraBond Adhesive from our wonderful Sponsor Therm O Web. 

I stamped the tweet sentiment using Candied Apple Distress Ink. And then I popped up the birdies using iCraft 3D Foam Tape Jumbo Roll (white) from our awesome Sponsor Therm O Web. A quick and cute card to start off the Linky Party!

My card was inspired by the {BYSHC} Sketch 46 from last month! 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 using sketches for my cards... makes designing the cards so easy! I'll definitely be sharing a few past sketches during the Linky Party.

I'm also a Sponsor for the Christmas in July 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party!! I have a wonderful prize set aside for one lucky winner. I'm leaving it as a fun surprise, so no photo this time. 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. The winner will be announced on the {BYSHC} blog on Tuesday, July 30th.
