Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Unity October 2024 KOM Sweet Bliss of Christmas ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's always so surprising to me how fast the last few days of the Linky Party just zip on by! We are nearing the end of the Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party! I'm super happy to be adding so many cards to my stash! I hope you've been inspired to play along with us. My card today features a couple of stamps from the October 2024 Kit of the Month called Sweet Bliss of Christmas from our amazing Sponsor Unity Stamp Co. It's also Membership Wednesday... a fun day to share inspiration for the awesome memberships over at Unity! I just had to ink up the beautiful tree stamp from this month's fab KOM! Good news!! The KOM membership is now available for Canadian shoppers!! Woohoo!!

I had a fun idea for a simple shaped card. Actually it came to mind while I was sleeping and woke me up! That was so crazy! I was trying to figure out a card design when I was falling asleep so it only makes sense that the idea would wake me up! LOL

 I die cut my base first using the largest die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. I had a 8-1/2 x 4-1/4" piece of Pure Poppy card stock from Papertrey Ink that I scored at 4-1/4" for a square base. I placed the die over the closed/folded card base and secured it with washi tape so that the die didn't cut through the top of the fold. I die cut another red circle for my top layer. And then I die cut a piece of Stampers Select White card stock using the next smallest circle die from the same set.

 I stamped the wonderful tree using Crushed Olive Distress Ink. I used the corner of the Walnut Stain Distress Ink pad to ink up the trunk of the tree. I wiped off the excess on the branches and then stamped it. I think it adds a subtle touch of brown for the trunk. I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment using Candied Apple Distress Ink. And then I stamped the Full of Merry sentiment from the September 2024 KOM called Wander and Wonder using the same red ink. I fussy cut both of the sentiments. I adhered all of my circle layers using the iCraft UltraBond Adhesive from Sponsor Therm O Web. I added foam tape from Therm O Web called iCraft 3D Foam Tape Jumbo Roll (white) to both of the sentiments and popped them up on the card.

I finished off the card with a bunch of red confetti from the Hologram Red Card Bling from Sponsor A Colorful Life Designs. Pretty much all of the confetti is adhered over the ornaments on the tree stamp. I think I may have added two extras just to balance out the tree a bit. It was so fun making a circle shaped card!

I hope you'll stop by the Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party to check out all the wonderful holiday inspiration being shared! Seeing all the inspiration makes me want to just make more cards! I sure hope you'll stop by and check it out! Have a fabulINK day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
