{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 42 ~ Pattern Papers with Ephemera ~ Not 2 Shabby

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back sharing inspiration for the sketch challenge over in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing three super quick cards using the coordinating paper pads and ephemera from Not 2 Shabby! I love the papers and ephemera from Not 2 Shabby! They coordinate so well and they're always so beautiful! Don't forget we're changing things up for 2024 and Not 2 Shabby is Sponsoring our {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 42! Jamie has generously offered up a super fun-filled Christmas prize package for one lucky winner! Yay! Thank you so much, Jamie!

Here's a look at all three cards together! Aren't they just too cute!?

First up is the adorable owl papers and ephemera from the Deck the Owls 6x6 paper pad and the coordinating ephemera. Love the beautiful owls in these papers! I also love the glitter paper... it's so sparkly but doesn't have any of the gritty feel of actual glitter. Which also means no glittery mess! 

I used the measurements from the sketch for this card. I paired up two ephemera pieces for this one. I stamped a sentiment from the Holiday Owls stamp set using Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide ink. I trimmed up the sentiment and adhered them all together and then added foam tape to the back.

For my second card I used the gorgeous Winter Magic 6x6 paper pad and coordinating ephemera. The papers in this paper pad are absolutely gorgeous!! I just had to use a couple of the glitter papers for this one too! 

I stamped the sentiment from the Nutcracker Dolls stamp set using Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink. It looks so nice with the ephemera! I combined a couple ephemera for this card too. I adhered the ephemera with the sentiment and added foam tape to the back of all three pieces and popped them up on the card.

My third and last card featuring the adorable Gingerbread Kisses 6x6 paper pad and coordinating ephemera. Now the paper strips for this one are a bit smaller because I just used pieces that were already cut in the pack. 

No need to combine ephemera for this one. All the cute images were combined on one piece of ephemera! Love it! I stamped the sentiment from the Gingerbread Hugs stamp set using Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink. I adhered the sentiment to the ephemera and added foam tape to the back. I love the dimension that the popped up ephemera gives to the cards.
