BYSHC Sketch #33 ~ Hedgehugs

Happy Friday! I’m sharing my first card for Build you Stash Holiday Cardmakers new sketch for the month of May. This sketch is great with double sided papers. Cut out the middle part and flip it. The papers will pair wonderfully and it’ll save you from using up another paper.

I used this adorable stamp, Hedgey Holidays, from Sunny Studio. I colored it with copic markers and ink blended the edges of the white cardstock with Gina K Designs Sandy Beach Ink. I cut patterned paper from Echo Park Warm and Cozy Paper Pad using the measurements from the sketch below. And voila ~ I was done.

BYSHC Spring into Christmas 2023 ~DAY 1

Hi crafty friends! BYSHC’s first linky party for the year is HERE! Who’s excited and ready to create and link up newly designed Christmas, Hanukkah, or winter card! Join us by linking up your card on the BYSHC Blog between April 21 – 28. We have some awesome prizes from our amazing 16 sponsors this spring. Check the BYSHC Blog for more details.

Now onto my first card for the party! It’s a cutie and to help me out, I used BYSHC Sketch #32 for this card. Check out BYSHC Facebook if you need some sketches to start you off, but Sketch #32 is our most current sketch challenge. The sketch challenge will last until the end of April. You can also win a prize from our amazing Crystal, the one who started it all!

I wanted to use this beautiful paper from our wonderful sponsor, Lawn Fawn. It’s the Knit Picky Winter Collection in the color Baby Blanket. It’s super adorable with My Favorite Things’ Merry Christmoose stamp set.

I stamped the moose and Christmas tree on to white cardstock. I colored the moose and Christmas tree with copic markers and added some accents with a white gel pen. I stamped another moose on to the patterned paper. Then, I cut out the sweater and hat from the moose on the patterned paper and glued those pieces on my colored moose. I die cut out the moose and Christmas tree.

On a piece of scrap white cardstock, I ink blended a night sky using our lovely sponsor, Gina K Designs. From top to bottom, I used In the Navy, Blue Denim, and Blue Raspberry. I splashed some white paint on top for stars. Then, I used another one of our fantastic sponsor’s dies. I used Pink & Main Layered Circle Dies to die cut out my night sky.

I cut out a black strip of cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment using Gina K Designs Embossing Ink and Fine Detail White Embossing Powder. Lastly, I assembled all the pieces together and glued everything down.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you join us in both the linky party and the sketch challenge. Even if you can’t join, check out the Blog and Facebook to see all the beautiful creations.

BYSHC Sketch #31 ~ Poinsettia

Hi friends! It’s a new month, so there’s a new BYSHC Sketch Challenge! It’s a super fun sketch, so I hope you join us at our Facebook group. You have until March 31st to enter for a chance to win a prize.

All of the patterned paper is from BoBunny Joyful Christmas paper pad, which I knew would go perfectly with this BEAUTIFUL die from Jaded Blossom. I am in LOVE with this die. I used scraps to die cut out my flower and added glossy accents to the pistil to give it some shine. I heat embossed the sentiment in the middle of a red cardstock, cut out the sentiment, and used the red cardstock as my mat for the patterned paper. I glued everything down, but for the flower, I used foam tape to give it more dimension.

Thank you for stopping by and hope this inspires you to join us. Check out the blog for more beautiful inspirations from the design team. Can’t wait to see what you create.

BYSHC Sketch #30 ~ Holly

Happy Saturday friends! I’m a day late in posting, but better late than never. I’m sharing my second card for BYSHC Sketch Challenge #30. It’s a fun sketch created by Crystal O. Minkler and I went with traditional colors this time. Red, Green, and Gold.

I started by cutting the paper panels into the size I needed. I printed, copic colored, and fussy cut the Holly & Mistletoe image. I used a gold gel pen to add some gold veins in the leaves. I heat embossed the sentiment and added foam tape behind the image. Lastly, I added some gold embellishments.

Thank you for dropping by and hope you join us on Facebook for a chance to win some goodies. The last day to play with this sketch is Feb 28th. Check out the BYSHC Blog for some more inspirations by the design team.

BYSHC Sketch Challenge #30

Happy Friday! I’ve been really busy and swamped with family stuff so I haven’t had time to write blogs for the past couple of months. I’ve been sharing my cards on Instagram though, so check out my Instagram to see what I’ve been up to.

Now on to BYSHC Sketch #30 challenge. This sketch is great for using double sided papers and your scraps. I took a 6″ by 6″ paper and cut it to 4.25″ by 5.5″. I took the leftover 1.75″ scrap by cut it to 1″ by 5.5″. I flipped it over since double sided papers are designed so the front and back side will pair well together. I found a piece of scrap paper with the snow angels in the same paper pack and used that for the card.

I stamped the penguin, colored it with copic markers and die cut it out with GKD Master Layout 1. I took a small scrap of the blue pattern paper and stamped the sentiment on it. I thought the sentiment was perfect with the penguin because it looks like the penguin is opening its’ arms for a hug. What do you think?

I hope this inspires you to join the challenge. Join us on Facebook for a chance to win some goodies and check the Blog for some beautiful cards created by the Design Team. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

For my card today, I stamped, colored, and fussy cut out an image from Pink & Main Mugs and Kisses Stamp Set. This stamp set is just too cute! I combined it with some paper from Recollections Say Freeze Paper Pad and added some vellum paper behind the image to cut down some of that busyness. I die cut the vellum paper with Gina Marie Designs’ Eyelet Elegance Circle Die and stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set.
