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.

Inky Paws Challenge #231 ~ Sketch Challenge Reminder

 Hello there crafty friend!

Inky Paws Challenge #231 - Sketch Challenge

This just may be my most favorite sketch so far! I couldn't wait to make a Christmas card using this sketch!

This time I wanted to stick more closely to the sketch so I picked a cute cup stamp from the Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set for my focal image. I stamped the cup on a scrap of card stock and stamped the sentiment on a larger scrap. I die cut the sentiment using a circle die from the Circle Frames Die Set being sure there was a good amount of room for the cup on the left side.

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

Snowman: C00, C3, YR15, YR16, R14

Snow / Whipped Cream: C00, C3

Mug: R20, R14, R46

Candy Cane: C00, C3, YG11, G24, G46

Candies: R14, G24

I used a fun mix of papers from the Meowy Christmas 6x6 Paper Pad. The best thing about the papers in this paper pad is that you could literally pick any three papers and they will work perfectly with each other for a fun background.

I shared these measurements last week but wanted to share them again. I think it's easiest to start with a piece of pattern paper that measures 4 x 5-1/4", but for my card today I used scraps of pattern paper. I just didn't have enough full sheets of the pattern papers. So I cut my example above and used the pieces as a guide for my pattern papers. I placed them over my pattern paper scraps and just traced around the edges with pencil and trimmed the pattern papers. I adhered the pattern paper pieces together on a lightweight card stock and then adhered them to a white A2 top fold card base.

I was surprised to discover that I don't have the coordinating Cup of Cocoa Die Set so I fussy cut the cup on the line. Colored the edges of the fussy cutting with a Memento Tuxedo black marker to make it look nice and neat and then I popped it up on the card with foam tape. I finished off the card with three red rhinestones from the Rainbow Bling Rhinestones from Gina Marie Designs.

Now it's your turn to get your paws inky with your Newton's Nook Designs products and create a project using the sketch. Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge! Can't wait to see your projects!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,
