{BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2026 Linky Party ~ Bear Hugs ~ Creative Worship Stamps

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm sneaking in one last make for the {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2026 Linky Party hosted on the {BYSHC} blog! Today I'm sharing a sweet holiday tag I made using a couple cute stamp sets from our lovely Sponsor Creative Worship Stamps.

I stamped the sweet bear from the retired Bear Hugs stamp set and colored him up with my Copic markers. I fussy cut him leaving a border. I then stamped the beautiful holly stamp from the Holly Jolly stamp set and die bundle using Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks. I added a bit of texture to the leaves with some Copics. I stamped the berries using Candied Apple Distress Ink. I also added a bit of shadow to the berries with a Copic marker.

Copic markers used:

Bear: E000, E30, E33, R00, R20

Candy Cane: R20, R14, R27, C0, C2

Mug: BG000, BG10, BG01

Snowflake: C0, C2

Holly: YG11, G46

Berries: R20, R27

I die cut the holly and berries using the dies from the bundle. I die cut an ornament for my tag from Kraft card stock using the Christmas Ornament & Bulb Tag Die Set from Creative Worship Stamps. The tag was a little too plain so I added a piece of pattern paper from the Winter Parade 6x6 Paper Pad from Sponsor Pajama Crafter Stamps. I die cut the paper using a die from the retired Stitched Circle Stacklets from Sponsor Taylored Expressions. And then I finished off the tag with pretty iridescent ribbon from my stash.

Be sure to stop by the {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2026 Linky Party to check out all the fab inspiration! The party ends tonight at midnight! Have a wonderful day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 66 ~ Snowy Hello ~ Creative Worship Stamps

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm sharing a little more inspiration for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 66 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! I wanted to go for a CAS design {though I added a couple layers so it's not technically CAS}.

I stamped the adorable snowman and bunny from Snowy Hello Clear Stamp Set. Isn't it just the sweetest stamp?! I love it! I colored it up with Copic markers and fussy cut it.

Copics used:

Snowman: C0, C2

Hat: C0, C2, R20, R14

Scarf: R20, R14

Coat: YG11, G24, G46

Carrot: YR20, YR15, YG11, G24

Bunny: W0, W1, W3, W5, C0, C2, R00, R20

I created a simple scene with a die cut circle using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies} from Unity. I cut a couple layers for my snow layers and also die cut them with the same circle die. I heat embossed some snowflakes from the Snowy Hello Clear Stamp Set using white pigment ink and white embossing powder. I blended some blue ink... I just used the residual ink from my blue blending brush. And then I adhered the layers to the circle and trimmed off the left edge.

I ran a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" piece of white card stock through my Big Shot with a snowflake embossing folder. And then I trimmed it down to 4 x 5-1/4". I adhered it to the white A2 card base. I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it and popped it up on the card. I also popped up the circle focal image on the card with foam tape.

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 66 for the month of February. Tomorrow is the last day to enter the challenge!

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 66 ~ Tender Thoughts ~ Creative Worship Stamps

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with a little inspiration for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 66 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a lovely Christmas card featuring a beautiful stamp set from our amazing Sponsor Creative Worship Stamps! This month's prize is a $20 gift code to Creative Worship Stamps! Woohoo!

I started by ink smooshing my backgrounds for this one onto a card front {4-1/4 x 5-1/2"} and a scrap of white card stock that was just large enough for the tree stamp from the Tender Thoughts Stamp and Die Bundle. I ink smooshed the panels with Stormy Sky, Seedless Preserves, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks. Once I was happy with the ink smooshing, I blended more Chipped Sapphire over the whole panel.

I dried the backgrounds completely with a Wagner Precision Heat Tool. I applied some anti static powder to the scrap panel. I stamped the beautiful trees from the Tender Thoughts Stamp and Die Bundle on my scrap panel using Sugar Cube Pigment Ink from Taylored Expressions and then I dusted the wet ink with Alabaster White Embossing Powder from Unity and melted it with a heat tool. I die cut the panel using a stitched circle die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies} from Unity. I also die cut a scrap of white card stock just to get the snowy ground piece for the deer. I fussy cut the wavy hill with EK Success Cutter Bee Scissors.

I die cut the background panel using a stitched rectangle die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies} from Unity. I adhered the circle to the panel and then trimmed off the edge. And then I spattered the whole panel using Apple Barrel White Acrylic Paint. I stamped the deer with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and I started fussy cutting it on the line and then remembered too late that I had a die and could have used that to cut it out. I stamped the sentiment from the Holly Jolly Stamp & Die Bundle and die cut it out with the coordinating die. I popped up the sentiment on the card with foam tape. I finished the card off with a few pieces of White Glossy Card Bling from A Colorful Life Designs.
