{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party ~ Christmas Critters ~ Not 2 Shabby

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's day 4 of the {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party!! I'm excited to share not one but two holiday cards that I'm adding to my Christmas stash! This time I played with adorable papers and ephemera from our fabulous Sponsor, Not 2 Shabby!

I used the adorable Christmas Critters 6x6 Paper Pad and the Christmas Critters Ephemera for my cards. I just couldn't resist these adorable critters! And really as a card maker I adore anything card related so the envelopes are really what sold me on these papers and ephemera. TOO cute!!

My background paper layers are all adhered using iCraft UltraBond Adhesive from Sponsor Therm O Web. I adhered the penguin and the star to the tree and then popped them up on the card with iCraft UltraBond Adhesive, also from Sponsor Therm O Web. 

Inspiration for my card came from one of our past sketches... BYSHC Sketch 16. I love using the past sketches! I altered the sketch to work for a landscape card.

The sentiment is from the August 2019 Kit of the Month called Warm and Cozy from Sponsor Unity Stamp Co. I just trimmed it up and adhered it to the card. Easy peasy.

Speaking of easy peasy, this card was just that! I die cut the pattern paper with the cute critters and the sentiment right on it using the Postage Stamp Nesting Dies from Unity. 

I adhered it to a white A2 card base using iCraft UltraBond Adhesive from Therm O Web. And then I finished it off with a little confetti called Hologram Red Card Bling from Sponsor A Colorful Life Designs. Super easy peasy!
