{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 65 ~ Hot Cocoa Gnomes & It's Gingie Time ~ Not 2 Shabby

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm sharing a little more inspiration for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 65 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! I'm pretty sure I've mentioned that I love the papers and ephemera from Not 2 Shabby, right?! Like, they make card making so quick and fun! With that said... I have 2 cute cards to share today because they were so quick and easy to make! Why just make one?! LOL!

For my first card, I combined the sweet and adorable Christmas Critters 6x6 Paper Pad with the Hot Cocoa Gnomes Ephemera. The colors in these worked so well together. I was just tickled pink!

Both of those products are retired now, it looks like. But the variety on the website is amazing!! You have to go check it out... Not 2 Shabby papers!

I used pattern papers for my layers except for the white paper that's white card stock. And I finished this one off with a few white glossy confetti pieces from A Colorful Life Designs.

For my second card, I used the adorably sweet It's Gingie Time Ephemera. It was so hard to choose just one gingie!!

I paired up the adorable gingie with the coordinating It's Gingie Time 6x6 Paper Pad.

I adhered my layers to a black card base and die cut scraps of black card stock using the MFT Ric Rac die from my stash. The sweet sentiment is from the Gingerbread Coffee House stamp set. I heat embossed it using a white ink with white embossing powder on the black card stock. I love how the white pops on the black card stock.

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 65 for the month of January. Tomorrow is the last day to enter the challenge!
