{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 28 ~ November 2022 Whit Kit ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with more inspiration for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 28. Today I'm sharing a sweet set of holiday cards using the wonderful November 2022 Whit Kit from Unity Stamp Co. Once I designed my first card, I thought why not make a few more... so here we have them!

This card sketch makes for such easy cards especially when you have a circle focal piece which I did with the fab stamps in this set. I used the Ornamental Greetings Ornament dies to cut out my green layer for the ornament focal piece {the photo makes that layer look darker... almost black, but it's a lovely Pinefeather green card stock from Papertrey Ink}.

I stamped each of the images on white card stock with Pinefeather ink from Papertrey Ink. I die cut each of them with the dies included in the kit. I also die cut the ornament tops from Pure Poppy card stock from Papertrey Ink. 

The bottom pattern papers for these cards are such an easy cut which is also why I decided to make some more. Since the pattern papers included in the kit are 6x6" I just needed to cut them at 3-7/8" and then cut them in half at 3" and it gave me two bottom pieces measuring 3-7/8 x 3". Easy peasy. 

I adhered the pattern paper to Pure Poppy card stock mats measuring 4 x 5-1/4" and then adhered them to white A2 top fold card bases. I popped up the ornament focal pieces with foam tape. And to finish off the cards I added a few Red Green Mirror Foil enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs.

Here's a look at the whole card kit... love it!

A pretty set of holiday cards all ready to go! I've really enjoyed this sketch... I'll probably revisit it often. If you're interested in seeing my video for this card, you can check it out here... BYSHC Sketch 28 | November 2022 Whit Kit | Unity Stamp Co.

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 28 ~ STAMPtember 2020 ~ Tim Holtz & Simon Says Stamp

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing my weekly Christmas card using the {BYSHC} Sketch 28 and I'm pretty excited that I finally inked up one of these snarky kitties. This hilarious kitty is from the STAMPtember 2020 stamp set from Tim Holtz and Simon Says Stamp. I just love him and the sentiment!

I still had the Paper Stash - Christmas papers from Tim Holtz and Idea-ology on my desk so I just used a couple pieces from those papers. Isn't this plaid amazing... or is it flannel with those line details in the pattern?! Well, in either case I love it and it was perfect with this kitty.

I do kind of wish I'd gone with a grey for the cat but I think the orange is a nice contrast. Here's a list of the Copic markers I used:

Kitty ~ YR30, YR21, YR15, YR68, YR24, W00, W3; C00, C3 {eyes}

Lights ~ C00, C3, R20, R14, R37

I die cut kitty with one of the awesome recently released Scallops & Circles {nesting dies} from Unity Stamp Co. I popped up the circle and the heat embossed sentiment with foam tape.

I added drops of Glossy Accents to the lights for some shine. So fun! Well, that's it for me this week. 

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch 28 for the month of November!

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! Have a wonderful week!

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 28 ~ Merry, Moe & Joe ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with my weekly Christmas card using the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 28. Today I'm sharing a sweet card featuring the one of the cute mice in the Merry, Moe & Joe stamps from Unity Stamp Co. If you checked out my blog post yesterday you may have seen this adorable Santa mouse on one of my note cards... well, I couldn't resist inking him up again! 

I love this fun sentiment too! It's just perfect with this Santa mouse. I stamped him with VersaFine Onyx Black ink on Canson XL watercolor paper. I watercolored him with my ZIG Clear Color Real Brush markers. 

I fussy cut him leaving a bit of a border around the image. I die cut the circles from Real Red and Cucumber Crush card stock from Stampin' Up! using the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies} from Unity. I ran a scrap of Canson XL watercolor paper through my Big Shot with the Simple Snowflakes Embossing Folder from Tim Holtz/Sizzix. It's really hard to see the embossing in the photos. It adds such fun texture too. I also used a piece of pattern paper from the Candy Stripe paper collection from Brutus Monroe. I popped up the sentiment and circle with lots of foam tape.

I love how this cute card turned out! And I am having so much fun watercoloring again. It's been too long since I've played with my ZIGs.

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 28 ~ Greetings of the Season Dies ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with my weekly Christmas card but this pretty card is also for the Brown Thursday Instagram Hop so I'm posting a little later than I normally do. If you're visiting from my Instagram... welcome!!! I'm so glad to have you drop by! I share a Christmas card each Friday using the current {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge from the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group. It's a fun group that shares holiday inspiration throughout the year so there's less stress to get our holiday cards done later in the year. Today I'm sharing a card using some products from Unity Stamp Co. along with the {BYSHC} Sketch 28.

I am a sucker for snowman stamps! I just love this new one rightly called The Sweetest Snowman. He's currently one of the freebies during the big Brown Thursday sale. I colored him up super quick with just a handful of Copic markers. He was die cut with one of the recently released circle dies from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. I mat him with a red piece of card stock die cut with the next largest circle die in the set.

The beautiful pattern papers are the Festive Christmas {paper pack} from Unity. So gorgeous!

I die cut the poinsettia paper with the Season's Greetings die from the brand new Greetings of the Season {die set} and I mat the paper with white card stock so the sentiment would pop. I adhered all my layers together and actually didn't pop anything up this time. LOL!

You can check out my video for this card here... Greetings of the Season | Unity Stamp Co.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used to color up the snowman:

Snowman ~ B0000, B000

Scarf ~ R20, R14

Bird ~ R20, R14, R27

Tree ~ G24, Y06, Y15

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 28 ~ Deck the Owls ~ Not 2 Shabby

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's time for a new sketch challenge over at Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers and I have a cute Christmas card to share using a sweet paper pack and ephemera pack called Deck the Owls from Not 2 Shabby. How adorable is that cute owl! Oh my gosh... I just love it! And those antlers...?! Love love love!

This was a very simple and quick card just using the dimensions for the sketch and pretty papers!

I can't get enough of this owl though! Those eyes!! Too cute! I popped up the owl ephemera and sentiment ephemera with foam tape.

And I finished it off with a few red rhinestones from the Rainbow Bling rhinestones from Gina Marie Designs. Easy peasy! Another Christmas card for my stash!
