{BYSHC} November 2026 Card Sketch 75

 Hello everyone. Happy November We have a New card sketch for {BYSHC} Sketch 75. I love this sketch it's so much fun and Digi Doodle Studios is our sponsor.

Let's Get Started:

I chose to use Digi Doodle Studios for my card today. This digital stamp I chose is Cocoa Charlie Freeze Snowman. I think. it's so cute. I printed this cute image on Hammermill cardstock and colored with my Ohuhu markers. I then fussy cut my image leaving a white border. I used pattern paper and colored casrdstock to cut my papers according to the card sketch.

I used a die from This Calls For Confetti Hello Elongated Essentials that was perfect for the oval on the card sketch. I glued everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I found a sentiment in my stash and that finishes this card. I hope you join us. This is a great way to batch a bunch of cards and be finished for the Holidays yay!

I will also be linking this card to the Caffeinated Christmas Challenge 59

{BYSHC} Card Sketch 74 for October 2026

 Hello Everyone Happy October! We have a new card sketch for {BYSHC} Card Sketch 74. I really love this card sketch I hope you join us. Christmas is coming our way and Taylored Expressions is our sponsor this month.

Let's Get Started:

I went with some fun pattern papers and colored cardstock for my Holiday card today. I had to turn my card sketch as my snowman would of looked funny and backwards. So I didn't mind as I don't do this to often. I added some glitter pattern paper and faux glitter pattern paper for fun.

I even placed my sentiment sideways and I like it. I might have to do my sentiments sideways more often. Sentiment is from Papertrey ink. I then glued all to a A 2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and that finishes my card. I hope you join us 

 

{BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party Day 6

 Hello everyone. It's Day 6 for the {BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party. I whipped up a card. Hope you are doing well with your cards. We still have time.  Use Hashtag byshccij2026lp and graphic. All cards must be Christmas, Holiday, Winter, Hanukkah, etc.

Let's Get Started:

So I loved these sketches from the Not 2 Shabby Shop that I finally used one of the sketches. I used Card Sketch 4. I remember getting this paper pad last linky party because Not 2 Shabby is always a wonderful sponsor and Jamie had said if you order this paper pad called Deck The Owls she would send the ephemera with it.  So that's what I did and I'm so excited to use these products. 

I heat embossed with Simon Says Stamp Rose Gold embossing folder for my sentiment. It's hard to see on camera but it reads "Merry Christmas from the Family" this stamp is from a previous stamp of the Month called Merry Mail.  I used my paper trimmer to cut everything but my circles. I used Sponsor Lawn Fawn for the Scalloped Circle Stackables and Waffle Flower for the sentiment circle cut out with blue cardstock. I was going to put flowers like the sketch but I needed this owl on here. Cute right?  I had so much fun making this card. Another thing I used a white acrylic marker for faux stitching on my banner.  Don't forget {BYSHC} has card sketch 71 and you can win there too.

{BYSHC} Spring Into Christmas Linky Party Day 7

Hello everyone it's Day 7 for the {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas Linky Party.  That means tomorrow is our last day.  I hope you are having as much fun as I am.  I love seeing everyone's Holiday projects. All cards {or tags} must be Christmas, Hanukkah, Yuletide, wintry, etc. Use the graphic and hashtag #byshcsic2026lp in your social media posts. 

Let's Get Started:

On my card today, I used Sponsors A Colorful Life Designs and Gina K Designs. I used the Playful Tree 6x6 Stencil and 6x6 Merry Christmas Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs use VonFan10 to save.  I used white cardstock and inked with Gina K Designs in Red Velvet ink Cube, Christmas Pine ink cube, Blue Denim ink cube, and Sweet Corn ink cube for the tree.  I used the full size ink pad in Amalgam ink for the Merry Christmas.  I laid the stencil over my tree and only lightly inked on the tree and darker everywhere else. 

My cardstock was then cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and glued to a A2 card base.  I didn't feel like I needed a  sentiment because of the Merry Christmas Stencil.  Maybe I will stamp one inside.

You still have time to join us!

Without further ado here is my cards.

On my first card, I used Mama Elephant Gingerbread Cookies stamp set.  I stamped these cute cookies on Neenah Solar White 110 pounds with memento tuxedo ink and then colored them with my copic markers. I then cut the cookies as squares like the sketch.  I also used The Crafty Stamp Co. for the cute pattern paper that was cut 4 1/4 x 51/2. Everything was glued to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

On my 2nd card, I used Oh What Fun Kit from Doodlebug Design.  I recently won this kit and the cuteness is 100% love it.  The panel of pattern paper that I used is from a different Doodlebug Design paper pad but I felt it matched well.  I cut squares of the ginger pattern paper from the Oh what fun kit and added Ins and Outs die-cut pieces and then added a sticker from the kit. Everything was glued to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I had so much fun creating these cards.

Without further ado here is my card.

Well for this weeks challenge, I was inspired by the trees, green snowflake, and sentiment sign in the photo. I love all the colors and I tried to capture a few.  I used The Stamp Market Winter's Wispy Trees and Concord & 9th in Honeysuckle, Sprout, and Oceanside. I stamped some trees and cut them out using a circle die from Pinkfresh Studio. 

I used A Colorful Life Designs (use VonFan10 to save) Dotted Flakes 6x6 Stencil and ink blended on white cardstock for my background with Sprout ink. I really loved that bright snowflake in the inspiration photo.  I stamped my sentiment from Papertrey ink Just Sentiments: Snow stamp set.  I heat embossed with Versamark and Hero Arts clear embossing folder on a aqua colored cardstock.  I cut it out as well as my background that is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I glued everything to a A2 card base and added some Metallic Gold card bling also from a Colorful Life Designs.  I had so much fun with this card.  

I hope you join us this week I would love to see how you are inspired.  Link it up to the Inspired By... blog and post in our FB group.  You have a little less then a week to participate.  Good Luck!!

Inspired by...Gnomie

 Hello everyone.  We have a New Inspired By...Challenge and this week it's Gnomie IB365.  We also have a New Card Sketch too.  I love sketches.  Don't forget to tag inspired_by_challenge on the socials. #inspiredbychallenges

Without further ado here is my card.

I was inspired by the theme Gnomie and Card Sketch.  I love Gnomes and my Mother in Law gifted me this fun Gnome die last year I believe.  It's a Momenta die set. I die cut it out of white cardstock and colored the in-lay pieces with my copic markers. I left a couple of pieces in the hat for fun maybe it's some mixed yarn like in real life hats sometimes.  LOL.  I chose to lay and glue the gnome down on white cardstock so it was easier to glue then inlay all the pieces.

I chose some Christmas Pattern papers from The Crafty Stamp Co. and cut my papers like the sketch.  I used a pre-made sentiment from Unity Stamp Co. I then glued everything to a. A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I had so much fun making this card and I hope you join us!
