Falling for the Holidays 2025 – It’s Gingie Time!
It’s that cozy, creative time of year again — the {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party is here!
BYSHC Sketch #62
For my cards, I followed Sketch #62 by Crystal O. Minkler — such a fun design for mixing and matching patterned papers! I used several prints from the It’s Gingie Time 6x6 paper pad and layered on those adorable gingerbread ephemera pieces. Each little Gingie is full of personality — holding cocoa mugs, trimming trees, and spreading warm holiday smiles.
To finish my cards, I stamped the sentiment “Cingerbread Wishes” from the Gingerbread Coffee House stamp set and added a few snowflakes for that frosty winter touch. These designs came together so easily thanks to the coordinating elements in the It’s Gingie Time collection — perfect for quick and festive holiday cardmaking.
I’m also thrilled to be a sponsor for this year’s Linky Party, offering a $25 Not 2 Shabby gift certificate to one lucky participant! Head over to the BYSHC Blog to link up your holiday card, join in the fun, and see all the inspiration from the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers community.
The party runs October 17–24, 2025, so there’s still time to play along, share your creations, and maybe even snag a prize!
If you love the It’s Gingie Time collection I used on today’s cards, the full “I Want It All” Card Kit is available now at Not 2 Shabby Shop. The kit includes the 6x6 paper pad, coordinating ephemera pack, Gingerbread Coffee House stamp set, and matching enamel dots — everything you need to create a batch of festive gingerbread cards. If the kit sells out, don’t worry! The It’s Gingie Time 6x6 Paper Pad and Ephemera Pack will still be available separately, so you can grab your favorites and join in the fun.
