September New Card Sketch Challenge for Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers

 Hello everyone. Happy September.  There is a New sketch challenge for Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch 49 for the month of September.  It's a good one too.  We have a sponsor each month and Therm O Web is our Sponsor this month, so I hope you will participate.






It was reaally simple to make this card.  I simply cut out some pattern papers from my Joanns Christmas paper pack.  I enjoy the cool tones this paper pack has.  I just cut my papers according to the sketch.  




I also use some ephemera and stamped a sentiment from a Simon says Stamp called Tabbed Sentiments Holiday that was created by CZ Design.  My sentiment reads White Christmas which suits the bear and his scarf and the snowflakes pattern paper.  I hope you enjoy and also join the challenge this month.  We are getting closer to the Holidays so now is a great time to get your Holiday cards made.

Let it Snow Holiday Card

 Hello everyone.  I have a Holiday Card today that I literally whipped up for the current sketch 48 by Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers.  I love this sketch so much and I used a lot of my scrap Christmas pattern papers for the strips. 




I started out with some pattern papers from an older paper pack in my stash called Holly Jolly 6x6. I used a 1/4 inch strips die from the Stamp Market to cut out my strips as well as some red cardstock.  I had fun glueing them to 4 x 5 1/4 white piece of cardstock.  I also cut out a A2 panel with the same pattern paper pack.



I used a circle die from Waffle Flower to cut out some more pattern paper using the sketch details.  I then used some ephemera from Simple Stories Winter Cottage for the globe and sentiment.  I glued everything to a green A2 heavy weight card base. I love how easy this card was and it was fun too.   There is still a few days to participate, you can find more details here We also have a sponsor every month too.

Another Holiday Card for BYSHC Sketch 48

 Hello everyone.  I'm back with another Holiday card for BYSHC Sketch 48.  I really love this sketch and this card might be my favorite for a Masculine card.  We have Unity Stamp Co. as our sponsor and you can win a GC.  Isn't that great?




I used my Kat Scrappiness A2 strips Dies in 2 different sizes and used some Joanns Holiday Pattern paper from my stash.  I had fun gluing my strips in onto my rectangle pattern papers.  I think it's relaxing, repeating steps like these strips.  


I glued everything to a A2 card base and I used a Ephemera circle die-cut from Joanns also.  I cut the excess off my circle die-cut to match the sketch. Easy Peasy. I love that this card seems more masculine to me.  I hope you join our challenge.  It's so much fun.

Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting.

I love the both sentiments that I had placed on this cuppa before I printed it.  Perfect for a Coffee Friend.  I embellished with some card bling from A Colorful Life Designs in gold and green.

Random Triangles Christmas Trees Holiday Card

 Hello everyone.  It's good to be back.  I went on a Mini Vacation with my family which was much needed for this Summer. We had a lot of fun.  I have a Holiday card to share.  I used the New Random Triangles Stencil 6x6 from A Colorful Life Designs New release. Use VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.



When I seen this stencil it reminded me of trees.  Christmas Trees.  I love to create Holiday cards so I did ink blend this stencil upside down so that it looked like lots of trees.  I used white cardstock and placed my Random Triangles stencil down to ink it in Catherine Pooler Skylight ink.  I then cut my background to be 4 x 5 1/4.  


Next, I cut out a scalloped circle with white cardstock from Kat Scrappiness.  I stamped a tree image from Unity Stamp Co. with the stamp set called Let Heaven and Nature Sing using the same green ink.  I also stamped a sentiment with Catherine Pooler Spruce ink from the same stamp set on white cardstock.  I then cut it with my Tim Holtz mini paper trimmer and added foam tape to the back.  I then glued everything to a A2 kraft card base.  I cut some of my scalloped circle that was hanging off my card.  I embellished with some green gems from Pinkfresh studio called Emerald.  That finishes my card it was a lot of fun.  Visit The New Release here
