Spring into Christmas 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Blue Christmas ~ Club Scrap

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm so excited to share my first card for the Spring into Christmas 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party hosted by the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group!! This is our fifth 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 beautiful papers from our brand NEW Sponsor, Club Scrap. The last year or two I've really started liking nutcrackers. And I really love this one in blue! I adhered all my paper layers to a 5x7" card base using the iCraft UltraBond Adhesive from our lovely Sponsor Therm O Web.

These lovely papers are actually from the Blue Christmas Page Cutaparts and the Blue Christmas Photo Folio. Aren't those blues just gorgeous?!?! I love them! I trimmed the nutcracker paper to 3-1/8 x 6-3/4". The paper strip on the right side measures 1-3/16 x 7".

I added a few confetti pieces from our fabulous Sponsor, A Colorful Life Designs. These ones are called Crystal Metallic Quicksilver. And then I finished off the card with a pretty bow using ribbon from the Blue Christmas Photo Folio.

My card was inspired by the {BYSHC} Sketch 42 minus the sentiment and a bit of an adjustment to the layout. This sketch worked great with these papers! 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 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party!! I have a wonderful prize set aside for one lucky winner. 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 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party to check out all the wonderful Holiday inspiration that's already been shared from our Sponsors and the {BYSHC} Design Team!! I'm so excited to continue building my stash of holiday cards for 2025... I hope you'll join in the fun and play along! Let's build our stash of holiday cards this week!! Have an ink-tastic day!

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
