{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party ~ Nicolette Digi Stamp ~ Digi Doodle Studios

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm so excited to share my first card for the {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party hosted by the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! This is our fifth annual Falling for the Holidays Linky Party! Woohoo!! This event is a great excuse 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 few more holiday cards to my Christmas card stash and I sure hope that you'll join in the fun!

For my first card I've made a sweet holiday card using the beautiful Nicolette Digi Stamp from our Sponsor, Digi Doodle Studios. I combined Nicolette and a few other digi stamps {for future projects} in a Word Document and printed them off on white card stock. I colored Nicolette up with Copic markers. 

Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R00, R20

Hair: Y21, E43, E44

Glasses / Lips: R14, R29

Hat: C0, C1, C3, R20, R14, R29

Scarf: R20, R14, R29, YG11, G24, G46

Coat: E21, E23, E25, C0, C1

Boots: E21, E23, E25, R20, R14, R29, YG11, G24

Sweater: R00, R20

Jeans: B00, B91, B93, B95

Gift: E21, E23, R20, R14, R29, YG11, G24, G46

The fun background was created using two fun stencils from our Sponsor, A Colorful Life Designs. I lightly stenciled over the Cozy Knit Stencil with Candied Apple Distress ink being sure to lighten my touch as I moved towards the edges of the card. And then I used the Outline Holly Stencil for the side. I blended Mowed Lawn and Lumberjack Plaid Distress inks. I used iCraft Pixie Tape from our Sponsor, Therm O Web, to mask the leaves so I could blend over the berries and then to mask the berries so I could blend over the leaves.

 

The sentiment is from the Bring Me Joy, Girl digital stamp from Sponsor, Angie Blom Digital Designs. This is one of the extra digis I printed off with Nicolette. I trimmed it and adhered it across the bottom of the card using the iCraft UltraBond Adhesive from Sponsor, Therm O Web. I used iCraft 3D Foam Tape Jumbo Roll (white), also from Therm O Web to pop up Nicolette on the card. I finished off the card with a few green rhinestones from the Green Flat Back Rhinestone Mix from Sponsor, Twiddler's Nooks. A quick and cute card to start off the Linky Party!
