Spring into Christmas 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Winter Cardinals Set 2 ~ Pink & Main

 Hello there crafty friend!

I can't believe how fast the time is going by! It's the last day of the Spring into Christmas 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party! It's always so sad to reach the end, but I'm super happy to be adding so many cards to my stash! Yay!

This time I used the adorable Winter Cardinals Set 2 from our wonderful Sponsor Pink & Main. I just adore this stamp!! The birds are so cute and they're kissing under the mistletoe... AWWWW... Super cute! I stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock and colored them up with Copic markers.

Here's a quick list of the markers I used:

Left Bird: R20, R14, R27, C00, C2, YR21, YR04

Right Bird: R20, R14, R37, C00, C2, YR21, YR04

Scarves: YG11, G24, G46

Branches: E21, E23, E25

Mistletoe: G24, G46

Bow: R20, R14, R27

As always, I used the fabulous Pressure Pal from our awesome Sponsor Twiddler's Nook when I stamped the sweet birds. I also used it when I stamped the sentiment. I die cut the panel using the X Stitched Mini Slimline Die from Sponsor Gina Marie Designs. I wrapped the corners with some Natural May Arts Burlap String and tied a pretty bow. I popped up the panel using iCraft 3D Foam Tape Jumbo Roll (white) from Therm O Web. 

My card design was inspired by past {BYSHC} Sketch 44. This simple sketch has become a favorite and it was perfect with this cute stamp.

I wanted to use another fun stencil for a lovely background for these two lovebirds. I grabbed the Simple Christmas Trees Stencil from Sponsor A Colorful Life Designs. I blended lightly with Vintage Photo Distress Ink over the stencil on Kraft card stock. I trimmed the panel to 5-1/4 x 4" and adhered it to an A2 kraft card base.

I hope you'll stop by the Spring into Christmas 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party to check out all the wonderful Holiday inspiration being shared! I've been inspired by so many of the cards! I sure hope you'll stop by and check it out! Have an ink-tastic day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
