Advent Calendar 2025 Day 21 ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

It's Day 21 of the 2025 Advent Calendar from Unity!! Just a few days left! I know it's a very busy time and just getting busier as we get closer and closer to Christmas. I hope you've had some down time maybe playing along with the Advent Calendar or just gazing at the pretty lights on your Christmas tree. I love the early morning hours just enjoying our Christmas tree.

Today's stamp is the most adorable puppy ever. I stamped him with Black Amalgam ink. I then die cut him with a square die from the Scallops & Squares {nesting dies}. 

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used: 

Puppy: N0, C0, C1

Ground: R00, R14, E07, E11

Background: E40

You can check out my video revealing the Advent Calendar Day 21 stamp and my process in making this card here... Unity Advent Calendar 2025 Day 21 | Unity Stamp Co.

Inspiration for my card came from the {BYSHC} Sketch 24! Such a fun sketch... I love it! 

I share the measurements for my papers in the video. But I basically follow the sketch for this one. Easy Peasy!

I paired up the cute pup with the Timeworn Paws Anthology {paper pack}. The sweet sentiment is from the Oliver - Rescue Tales stamps.

I'll be back tomorrow for Day 22 of the 2025 Advent Calendar from Unity!

Have an INKredible day!

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 64 ~ Sammi Skater Bear ~ Digi Doodle Studios

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with a little inspiration for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 64 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a sweet Christmas card featuring an adorable digital stamp set from our amazing Sponsor Digi Doodle Studios! This month's prize is a $25 gift card to Digi Doodle Studios! Yay! AND you can use code HOLIDAY25 for 25% OFF sitewide for the entire month of December!!

I inserted the adorable Sammi Skater Bear in a Word Document and printed him off onto white card stock. I colored him up with Copic markers and fussy cut him leaving a white border around the edges. And then I set him aside to put together my background.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Bear: E000, E00, E21, E23, E25, R00, R20, N0, N2, N4

Reds: R20, R14

Greens: YG91, YG95, G99

White Shadows: C0, C2

I paired up this adorable bear with the awesome Gentle Winter 6x6 Paper Pad, also from Digi Doodle Studios. I love the rich colors in these papers.

I adhered my pattern paper to a white mat and then adhered that panel to a 5-1/2 x 4-1/4" piece of the green pattern paper. I then adhered the panel to a white A2 top fold card base that I turned on the side for a landscape card. I found a cute sentiment from the Christmas Tree Lot digi stamp set from Angie Blom Digital Designs. I printed it off, trimmed it, and adhered it to the card. I popped up the bear with some foam tape to finish this one off.

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 64 for the month of December. If you're interested in seeing a bunch more inspiration for this sketch, check out the amazing inspiration from the design team over on the {BYSH} Cardmakers blog!
