BYSHC May Sketch Challenge #45

 Hello everyone.  I have a Holiday card today using this really neat BYSHC sketch #45.  I hope your getting ahead this year with Holiday Cards especially after the recent Linky Party.  I'm happy to say my Holiday stash looks pretty good.

Sketch 45

On my card, I cut us some white cardstock and pattern paper froom my stash according to the measurements on the sketch.  I'll be honest I struggled a little bit.  After I made this one I made another and it wasn't hard that time.  I hope you find this sketch fun and easy. 

I glued my papers to a A2 side folding card base.  I used a retired ephemera pack from Simple Stories called Winter Cottage from my stash to complete my card.  I hope you like it.  

We have a sponsor this month and you can win a prize. Just upload your card to the Build Your Stash Cardmakers FB album Sketch 45.  You have all month to participate.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

I used the New Cat Stretch 6x6 Stencil.  I started out with some blue cardstock.  I love colored cardstock don't you?  I applied some paste to my stencil with Simon Hurley's Crocodile Tears using a spatula.  My background was then cut to 4 x 5 1/4.  

I glued my panel to a A2 white card base and stamped a sentiment from Kat Scrappiness Pawsome Cats Sentiments Stamp set with black ink on white cardstock.  I cut my sentiment to fit using my paper trimmer and glued it to my card front.

I hope you like my card.  I had fun making it.  It's perfect for a cat person and sometimes it's easy to use a stencil and pop on a sentiment.

On my last card for the Linky Party, I used Sponsors A Colorful Life Designs and Pink and Main.  

I started out stamping and heat embossing this cute girl from The Greeting Farm called Holiday Anya 7.  I colored her in with my copic markers and then fussy cut her out.

The stencil is called Layered Gingerbread Men that consists of 2 stencils from A Colorful Life Designs Use VonFan10 to save.  I ink blended it on white cardstock with Concord & 9th ink cubes Wheat, Clover, and poppy inks.  I then cut out my background with a Pink and Main die called Mod Stitched Rectangle dies.  I stamped the sentiment from Holiday Anya 7 with black ink on white cardstock and cut it to fit.  I glued everything to a A2 card base and popped my sentiment up with foam tape.  I added some clear sequins and that finishes my card.

BYSHC Spring into Christmas Linky Party Day 6

 Hello everyone.  It's day 6 and I can't believe there is only a few days left for the BYSHC Spring into Christmas Linky Party.  I hope your having as much fun as I am.  I love seeing everyone's cards.  You have until Friday at midnight to link up your cards for prizes and there are some Amazing Sponsors.

Use hashtag #springintochristmas2024byshclp and All projects must be Christmas, Hanukkah, Yuletide, wintry, etc.

I chose to use Sponsor Angie Blom Digital Designs, Unity Stamps Co, and A Colorful Life Designs for my Holiday Card.  

Angie Blom Digital Designs is having a Holiday Sale so I picked up a couple of kits that were on my wish list.  This digital kit that I used is called A Gift Just For You.  I love snowmen.  Angie Blom always has a sheet that you can print out and all stamps are perfectly sized with sentiments so I chose one of those to print.  I printed it on canson watercolor 140lb.  I colored with Zig Real Brush Markers, Arteza Markers, and Tombow markers.  I then cut out my snowman with a tag die from Sponsor Unity Stamps Co.

Next, I ink blended the Rocky Path Stencil 6x6 from Sponsor A Colorful Life Designs with residue ink from my blue and purple brushes.  Use my code VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchases.  I cut out my background using a paper trimmer smaller than A2 size. About 4 x 5 1/4. I then glued my tag with craft foam onto my background and and then glued them to a A2 card base.  I added some liquid glue for the ground and a few drops on my tag and poured white glitter onto it for fun.  That finishes my card I hope you like it.  I had a lot of fun making it.

BYSHC Spring into Christmas Linky Party Day 5

 Hello everyone.  It's Day 5 already of the BYSHC Spring into Christmas Linky Party.  Friday is the last day to get your projects linked up.  Have you noticed all the Amazing sponsors?  I will have a list down below. Also use hashtag #springintochristmas2024byshclp on the socials so we can see your cards.

All projects must be Christmas, Hanukkah, Yuletide, wintry, etc.

I chose to use Sponsor Kat Scrappiness today for my Holiday card.

I first cut out the Fall Garland Wreath die with white cardstock 3 times. I love this wreath I love that you can use it all year round.  I was wanting to make a Holiday card with this Wreath.  I ink blended one of the wreaths with Peeled Paint Distress ink.  I then glued all my wreaths together a little offset so my wreath could look fuller.  I then cut out the leaves and berries in this set with red and green cardstock.  I glued them onto my wreath.  I ink blended my wreath some more with Peeled Paint Distress ink.  I then inked some of the berries with Lumberjack Plaid Distress ink.

Next, I used the Christmas sweater Stencil and ink blended it with Lumberjack Plaid Distress ink.  I then cut it out with a Embossed Edge Rectangle die.  I glued my rectangle panel to a A2 top folding card base and glued my wreath with liquid glue.  I stamped a sentiment with Candied Apple Distress ink on white cardstock from the Reindeer games Sentiments.  I then cut my sentiment to a fishtail banner.  I embellished my card with Sparkling Poinsettia Sprinkle Mix.  I love the gems and clay sprinkles in this mix. Well that finishes my card I hope you like it.  I hope you'll join us for the linky party.  Kat Scrappiness is giving away a $25 GC to the store.

BYSHC Spring into Christmas Linky Party Day 4

 Hello everyone.  It's Day 4 of the BYSHC Spring into Christmas Linky Party.  Are you having as much fun as I am?  So much wonderful inspiration and have you noticed all the Amazing sponsors?  I will have the list down below for you.  

On my card for today, I used sponsors Taylored Expressions, Pink and Main, Twiddlers Nook, and Lawn Fawn.  I first started out cutting out this cute penguin from Taylored Expressions Snow Squad die and clear stamp set.  I used white and black cardstock.  I ink blended the scarf with residue ink from my red blending brush.  I stamped the eyes from the set with black ink and cut out the nose with orange cardstock.  I then put my penguin together and added some pink cheeks with my Rll copic marker.

On white cardstock I used Pink and Main for my 2 stencils.  One of the stencils is a masking stencil and the other is like a scattered stars stencil.  I think they are great.  Unfortunately both stencils are retired.  I did ink blend with Catherine Pooler Stone Blue ink.  I then applied Lawn Fawn Silver Stencil Paste over my ink blended circles.  When dried, I trimmed my background to be 4 x 5 1/4.  I glued my panel to a kraft A2 card base.  I then glued my penguin and added a Taylored Expressions sentiment strip from my stash.  I used some Wishing on Rainbow Stars embellishments from Twiddlers Nook for my background and penguins scarf.  I hope you like my card. I think it came out cute.  I hope you make some cards and link them up.

All projects must be Christmas, Hanukkah, Yuletide, wintry, etc.
