{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 34 ~ Let it Snow Collection ~ Doodlebug Designs Inc.

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm sharing one last Christmas card for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 34 for the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group. Today is the last day to get your entries in for this month's challenge. My card today features papers and ephemera from Doodlebug Designs... yup, the Let it Snow Collection again!

I shared a card using the Let it Snow Collection for this month's sketch at the beginning of the month and I just couldn't help but make another. I love these papers and the ephemera (die cut pieces) are just too cute! They also make for really quick cards which is such a bonus right now while we're on Summer break.

I created a little background by combining two pattern papers from the Let it Snow 6x6 paper pad. I combined a couple ephemera pieces from the Let it Snow Odds & Ends pack for a little scene and grounded my scene with a sentiment die cut piece from the Let it Snow Chit Chat pack that I popped up with foam tape.  

I finished off the card by adding a few snowflake stickers but I can't seem to find the packaging to share which pack they are from. So sorry about that! I know it's from Doodlebug Designs as well... just not sure which collection.

Here's one last look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge #34 for the month of June. If you have a little time today maybe you can play along but remember to get your entry into the album before 11:59pm PST to count towards the challenge. If you're interested in seeing a bit more inspiration for this sketch, check out the amazing inspiration from the design team over on the {BYSH} Cardmakers blog!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 34 ~ Lovely Legs Hugging Elves ~ Colorado Craft Company

  Hello there crafty friend!

I'm sharing another Christmas card for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 34 for the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group. This time I played with a fun digi stamp from Colorado Craft Company called Lovely Legs Hugging Elves. Did you know that Colorado Craft Company started selling digi stamps?! I was super excited to get couple of their digi stamps during one of their Buy One Get One sales... such a fab sale!

I paired up this sweet Lovely Legs Hugging Elves digi stamp with the Santa Claus Lane 6x6 paper pad from Echo Park Paper Co. These fun plaid papers have stitches on some of the plaid which reminds me of the stitched ribbons I used to hoard from Stampin' Up. I thought it was a fun plaid paper and the perfect colors for my focal panel.

The digi stamp was inserted into a Microsoft Word Document where I adjusted the size of the image. I kept it kind of big because I wanted it to be a large focal panel. I love how the line of the snow works so well with the line of the focal panel in the sketch. This digi stamp is so perfect for this sketch! Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used to color up the digi stamp:

Skin ~ E000, E00, E11, E04

Dress / Red Shoes ~ C00, C1, C3, R20, R17, R27

Pants ~ Y06, Y15

Jacket ~ YG11, G24, G46, Y15

Belts ~ N0, N2, N4, N6, Y06, Y28

Black Shoes ~ N0, N2, N4, N6

Snow ~ C00, C1, C3

Sky ~ B000

I die cut a piece of white card stock with a die from the Double Roped Rectangle dies from Gina Marie Designs. I trimmed the copic colored digi stamp to fit inside of the die cut rectangle. I covered the back of the die cut with lots of foam tape and popped it up on the card. The sentiment is a sticker from the Christmas Clippings Stickers from Tim Holtz and Idea-ology. I trimmed the ends with my scissors and just stuck it on the card. I love these sentiment stickers! They have been so handy!

Here's another look at the {BYSHC} Sketch 34 for this month's challenge. Did you know that Colorado Craft Company is sponsoring this month's challenge? The winner of this month's challenge will receive a fun prize package of Colorado Craft Company goodies!! I sure hope you'll join us and play along... there's still a whole week left to enter the challenge!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 34 ~ Let it Snow Collection ~ Doodlebug Designs Inc.

Hello there crafty friend!

It's time for a new sketch challenge over in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers! Today I'm sharing a Christmas card with a sweet little scene that I created using adorable Let it Snow die cuts and pattern papers from Doodlebug Design. Still trying to use up those die cut/ephemera pieces and the papers.

So this month's sketch is very simple with a whole slew of possibilities... it can be super CAS {Clean & Simple} or you can build a scene within the focal panel like I did.

I've followed the measurements for the sketch. Now, I didn't specify the measurements for the two separate pieces of the focal panel on the sketch... I left that up to the card maker to decide for their card. I had fun using my pattern papers on my focal panel to create a background for my little scene. The top paper measures 3 x 2-1/2" and the bottom gingham paper measures 3 x 1-3/4".

I used two of the die cut/ephemera pieces from the Let it Snow Odds & Ends pack and a sentiment from the Let it Snow Chit Chat pack. The ephemera pieces are adhered directly to the card while the sentiment is popped up with foam tape. I just love how quick this card came together and I can't wait to play with this fun sketch some more.

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge #34 for the month of June. I hope you'll join us and play along with the sketch! If you're interested in seeing a bit more inspiration for this sketch, check out the amazing inspiration from the design team over on the {BYSH} Cardmakers blog!
