Christmas in July 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Membership Wednesday ~ July 2025 KOM Feelin' Fall the Things ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!
I can't believe how fast the time is going by! We are nearing the end of the Christmas in July 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! I hope you've been inspired to play along with us. My card today features the wonderful bear from this month's Kit of the Month called Feelin' Fall the Things AND a couple of stamps from the November 2023 Kit of the Month called Festive Flair from our amazing Sponsor Unity Stamp Co. It's Membership Wednesday... a fun day to share inspiration for the awesome memberships over at Unity!


I started with my background that I ink smooshed with Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink on my 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" card front of Kraft card stock. I focused the ink smooshing on the left side and bottom knowing that I was going to cover the right side with pattern paper. I stamped the wonderful distressed plaid stamp from the Festive Flair kit onto the ink smooshed background using the same ink. I trimmed and tore the pretty pattern paper from the Watercolor Tidings {paper pack} and distressed the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I adhered it to the background.


 And then I stamped the beautiful tree on the sled from the November 2023 KOM and the beautiful bear from the July 2025 KOM using Black Amalgam ink from Sponsor Gina K. Designs. I colored up the images with Copic markers and fussy cut them. I distressed the tree on the sled a little bit to tone down the white. I adhered the bear to the tree on the sled and then added foam tape to the back and popped them up on the card for some dimension.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:
Tree: YG11, G24, G46, E23
Ornaments: R20, R14, R27, Y11, Y08, BG000, BG01
Star: Y11, Y08
Sled: E21, E23, E25
Presents: BG000, BG01, Y11, Y08, R20, R14, R27, YG11, G24
Bear: E11, E21, E23, E25, G24 {eye}
Bear Crown: R20, R14, R27, YG11, G24, G46


I wrapped the panel with Luxe Satin Ribbon from Papertrey Ink and added a cute little bow. I added a fun metal tag from Tim Holtz with a bit of burlap string to finish it off. 


Here's a peek at this month's Kit of the Month


The sweet bear from this kit is also available separately here... Wilder Still.


I hope you'll stop by the Christmas in July 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-redible day!

Inky Hugs,
