{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2026 Linky Party ~ {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 74 ~ Folk Holiday Tags ~ Taylored Expressions

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with a little inspiration for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 74 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group AND it's day 2 of the {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2026 Linky Party! Today I'm sharing a pretty Christmas card featuring fab stencils and stamp from our amazing Sponsor Taylored Expressions! One lucky winner will win a $30 store voucher to Taylored Expressions!! Woohoo!

I used the gorgeous retired Folk Holiday Tags Stamp & Stencil Combo along with the retired Folk Holiday Tags Dies. This tree was so much fun to make using the stamp and stencil combo!! I see lots of fun color combos for this in my future!

For my background I used the gorgeous Create-in-Quads Layering Stencils - Mistletoe. I used the same mix of colors I used for the tree which was... Shabby Shutters, Rustic Wilderness, Kitsch Flamingo, and Candied Apple Distress Inks.

I just realized I forgot a sentiment for this card! LOL! Well, I'll have to add one before I mail it. I finished off the card with a few tiny enamel dots from the retired Christmas Enamel Dots. I believe I got these enamel dots in last years Advent Calendar from Taylored Expressions.

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 74 for the month of October. If you're interested in seeing a bunch more inspiration for this sketch, check out the amazing inspiration from the design team over on the {BYSH} Cardmakers blog! I turned the sketch on the side for a portrait card this time.
