Christmas in July 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Christmas Cookie Gnomies ~ Crafty Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!
It's day 4 of the Christmas in July 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party!! I'm adding not one, but two sweet cards to my Christmas stash! This time I played with the super cute Christmas Cookies Gnomies from our BRAND NEW Sponsor Crafty Stamp Co.


I paired up the gnomies with the Gingerbread Christmas 6x6 Paper Pad also from our new Sponsor Crafty Stamp Co.! Love these yummy papers! 


Inspiration for my card came from one of our past sketches... BYSHC Sketch 29. I love using the past sketches and this one is a big favorite and great for a TWOfer!


The blue glittery background paper measures 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" and it's adhered to a white A2 top fold card base. The red pattern paper layer measures 3-3/4 x 5". And then the colorful cookies and dots papers measure 3-1/2 x 4-3/4". If you'd like to see how I cut my triangles you can check out this VIDEO to see how I do it for this sketch.


I adhered all of my background layers using the iCraft UltraBond Adhesive from Sponsor Therm O Web. The sentiments are heat embossed with my favorite combo of products. I prepped the card stock with the TE Anti-Static Powder Tool and then stamped the sentiment with Sugar Cube Pigment White ink, both from Taylored Expressions. I then dusted the wet ink with Alabaster White Embossing Powder from Brutus Monroe and melted it with a Wagner Precision Heat Tool.

Copic markers I used:
Skin: E000, E00, E11
Mustache / Beard: C0, C2
Clothes: B000, B00, BG000, BG11
Shoes: N2, N4, N6
Gingerbread Cookie: E21, E23, E25, C0, C2, R20, R14, R27
Icing Bag: R20, R14, R27


I die cut two circles from vellum card stock using a die from the X Stitched Circle dies from Sponsor Gina Marie Designs. Looks like it's not available right now on the website... bummer.


I popped up the gnomies on the vellum circles using iCraft 3D Foam Tape Jumbo Roll (white) from Sponsor Therm O Web and then I adhered the circles to the card by just applying glue to the back of the gnomes.

Copic markers I used:
Skin: E000, E00, E11
Mustache / Beard: C0, C2
Clothes: R20, R14, R27, YG11, G24, G46
Shoes: N2, N4, N6
Stocking / Mitten Cookies: E21, E23, E25, C0, C2, B000, B00, BG000, BG11
