Spring into Christmas 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ A Winter Cheers ~ Angie Blom Digital Designs

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's day 3 of the Spring into Christmas 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party!! I'm excited to share another sweet card that I've made to add to my Christmas stash! This time I played with the beautiful A Winter Cheers digital stamp set from our lovely Sponsor Angie Blom Digital Designs.

I combined and resized the beautiful image and sentiment from A Winter Cheers in a Word Document and printed it on white card stock. And then I had some fun coloring up this gorgeous digi!

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Nails: R20, R14, R27

Bracelet: Y15, Y28

Sweater: YG11, G24, G46

Mug: BG10, BG01, BG13, BG34

Snowman: C00, C2, E25, YR04, R20, R14, R27

Marshmallows: C00, C2

Candy Canes: C00, C2, R20, R14, R27

I paired up the beautiful image with the Sparkling Christmas Wishes 6x6 Paper Pad from our wonderful Sponsor Not 2 Shabby. I die cut the focal image and sentiment using a stitched rectangle die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies} from our fab Sponsor Unity Stamp Co.

Inspiration for my card today comes from our past Sketch 53. I love the simplicity of this design with the fun corner element for a twist. It's a really fun design!

All of my layers are adhered using iCraft UltraBond Adhesive from our wonderful Sponsor Therm O Web. And I finished off the card with a few Hologram Red Card Bling confetti pieces from our awesome Sponsor A Colorful Life Designs.

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 53 ~ Snowball Fight ~ Not 2 Shabby

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with one last card for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 53 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a sweet holiday card using the adorable Snowball Fight stamp set from our wonderful sponsor, Not 2 Shabby.

I stamped two of the cute kiddos from the Snowball Fight stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored them up with my Copic markers and then I fussy cut them on the line and colored the edges with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Hair: Y21, Y02, E55

Red & White Scarf / Hat/ Glove: R00, R14, C00, C2

Snowballs:B000, B00

I paired up the cute kids with the A Shabby Christmas 6x6 Paper Pad. I wanted to build a little scene behind the kids and this paper was perfect.

I used the measurements from the sketch for my card. And I just eyeballed the corner piece.

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with a little inspiration for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 53 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a sweet holiday card featuring another beautiful set of papers and ephemera from our fab sponsor, Not 2 Shabby!

I am in love with these gorgeous papers!! The colors are so beautiful! I used the Snowy Pastels 6x6 Paper Pad and the coordinating Snowy Pastels Ephemera. Love the sweet deer ephemera!

This month's design is so simple. I love how quick a card can come together with this sketch, pretty papers and cute ephemera! 

The sweet sentiment is from the Gingerbread Hugs stamp set {sadly, it's no longer available}. I've used this sentiment many times over the years though. It's a fave!

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 53 ~ Sparkling Christmas Wishes Ephemera ~ Not 2 Shabby

Hello there crafty friend!

It's time for a new sketch challenge over in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a sweet Christmas card featuring gorgeous papers and ephemera from our wonderful sponsor, Not 2 Shabby! Not 2 Shabby has generously offered up a $25 gift certificate as a prize for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 53 this month! So fabulous!!

For my first card this month, I used the Pink Christmas 6x6 Paper Pad and I paired it up with the Sparkling Christmas Wishes Ephemera. 

I trimmed the pink pattern papers down to  3 x 4-1/4" and mat it with a piece of white card stock trimmed to 3-1/4 x 4-1/2". I just eye-balled the corner piece. I placed the paper over the card base and just marked the edges where I wanted the triangle to sit on the card and then I cut it with my trimmer.

The sweet sentiment is from the Purrs & Cocoa stamp set. I adore this sweet stamp set. You have got to take a look at it {click on the ^^^ link}.
