Last Friday I discovered that the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers group {BYSHC} was holding a Linky Party with some fine prizes. So… I entered a few cards through the week and am entering my last three just before the party ends! 

                                                   

This first card features a sweet digi and sentiment from a Beccy’s Place digi set. A few rustic touches (weathered wood patterned paper) and a scrap of beautiful Christmas Star paper add realism to the scene. The front sentiment is made with a die, and several Christmas stickers add bling. 

Supplies: 

·   Baby Jesus Digi and inside sentiment - from Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Lamb of God)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Sparkly Christmas Foliage Stickers- Hobby Lobby

·   Front Sentiment- Taylored Expressions Love Die (appears to be retired)

·   Pioneer Black Photo corners- available from several sources

·  Patterned paper, cardstock, cotton ball (smoke), and other items from my stash.

The next two cards were made with digis from Angi Blom, a sponsor for the BYSHC Linky Party. This first one took some time to create, but I do like the results. The inspiration for this card was Angies digi set named “Homes” and the freebie sentiment "All Hearts Come Home for Christmas." I used one of the house digis but also flipped the digi to make a mirror image house. However, because the places we call home can look pretty different for each of us, I decorated them to fit two different climates. We usually spend Christmas in cold climates and love waking to a warm blanket of snow on Christmas morning. However, we’ve spent the holidays with relatives in Arizona a few times, and enjoyed the sun and warmth… plus enjoying all the festive decorations on our morning walks! It is true that home can be anywhere if you are with people you love!

This fun card features one of Angie Bloms Sassy Girls digi sets. The paper piecing required a little fussy-cutting but otherwise, the card went together pretty quickly. The digi set includes some sassy sentiments, but since this one needs to have a Christmas theme, I used a sentiment from a favorite site that offers freebies. (And many of them convey snark, humor, or both!) 

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Angie Blom Digital Designs (Birthday Girl Sass)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Sentiment (divided)- A freebie from Gingers House (Crawling onto Santa’s Lap)

·   Boxed set of Plaid cards and envelopes- Hobby Lobby

·   Rhinestones, cardstock and other items from my stash.
