{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 48 ~ Winnie the Pooh: Snowone More Wonderful ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with more inspiration for the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a sweet holiday card featuring the adorably sweet Winnie the Pooh: Snowone More Wonderful stamps from our fabulous sponsor, Unity Stamp Co.! Unity has generously offered up a $25 gift card as a prize for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 48 this month! So awesome!!

I'm super excited to be sharing another holiday card featuring this adorable stamp from Unity! I love Winnie the Pooh and I hadn't inked up this sweet stamp until now. I stamped it with Black Amalgam ink and Copic colored Pooh bear and the snowman with the following Copic markers:

Winnie the Pooh: Y11, Y15, Y35

Gloves / Scarf: YG11, G24, G46, G29

Snowman: C00, C1, C3, YR000, YR15, YR16, N0, N2

Hat: N0, N2, N4, N6

Snowman Scarf: R20, R14, R46

Branches: E55, YR11, G24

I then die cut them using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. I also die cut a mat of True Black card stock from Papertrey Ink using the largest circle die from the set. Unfortunately the whole image was a little too big so I had to trim off the tree and a bit of the snowman's other arm but I think it's still nice. You can see a tiny bit of the star and an ornament from the tree on the edge. I adhered the circles together and then trimmed off the excess from the black mat. I set those aside and found another one of my favorite holiday paper pack from Unity called Cozy Christmas {paper pack}. I had several scraps in this paper pack so I knew it would be perfect for this sketch. I adhered them to a thin piece of card stock and then I trimmed off the excess.

I trimmed the background panel down to 3-7/8 x 5-1/8". I adhered it to a mat of Pure Poppy card stock from Papertrey Ink measuring 4 x 5-1/4". I then scored an A2 card base of True Black card stock measuring 4-1/4 x 11 at 5-1/2". And then I adhered the panel to the card base. I heat embossed the sentiment using my go to favorite products... I prepped the card stock with the TE Anti-Static Powder Tool, stamped the sentiment with Sugar Cube White Pigment ink from Taylored Expressions, dusted the wet ink with Alabaster White Embossing Powder from Brutus Monroe and then melted the powder with a Wagner Precision Heat Tool. I trimmed up the sentiment and adhered it to the partial circle and then I added foam tape to the back of both and popped it up on the card.  Love how this one turned out!

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 48 for the month of August. I love this month's sketch! It's definitely become a favorite! The stripes in the background can be just striped paper or can be created using papers from a paper pack or even just random complimentary papers from a paper stash! 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! We'd love for you to play along with us but remember tomorrow is the last day to enter this challenge!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 48 ~ Let's Get This Over With ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with more inspiration for the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a funny Christmas card featuring the super cute Let's Get This Over With stamps from our fabulous sponsor, Unity Stamp Co.! Unity has generously offered up a $25 gift card as a prize for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 48 this month! So awesome!!

I'm super excited to be sharing another brand new stamp from Unity!! Yay! The fabulous August releases continue with a wonderful assortment of stamps including this fun couple with a slew of hilarious sentiments. I stamped the couple with Black Amalgam ink and Copic colored them with the following Copic markers:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R00, R20

Hair: C1, C3

Red: R20, R14, R46

White: C00, C1, C3

Green: YG11, G24, G46

Black: N0, N2, N4, N6

Bench: E51, E55, E57

I then die cut the couple using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. And I trimmed the sentiment and cut a fishtail on one side. I set those aside and found my favorite holiday paper pack from Unity called White Winter {paper pack}. I had several scraps in this paper pack so I knew it would be perfect for this sketch. I adhered them to a thin piece of card stock and then I trimmed off the excess. I die cut the panel using the largest die from the Deckle & Stitches Nesting Dies. 

I placed the circle over the pattern paper panel and laid the die back over making sure that it was in the correct position. I secured the circle to the die using washi tape and then I ran it through my Big Shot. I added foam tape to the back of the circle and the sentiment. Adhered the striped panel to a white A2 top fold card base and then popped up the circle and sentiment. I finished off the card with three red enamel dots from my stash.

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 48 for the month of August. I love this month's sketch! The stripes in the background can be just striped paper or can be created using papers from a paper pack or even just random complimentary papers from a paper stash!

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 48 ~ A Few of My Faves ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

It's time for a new sketch challenge over in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a sweet Christmas card featuring the super cute A Few of My Faves from our fabulous sponsor, Unity Stamp Co.! Unity has generously offered up a $25 gift card as a prize for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 48 this month! So amazing!!

Not only am I sharing a brand new sketch, I'm also sharing a brand new stamp!! Yay! The adorable A Few of My Faves stamp just released over at Unity yesterday along with some other super cute and adorable holiday stamps!! Oh, and this adorable stamp is also available in photopolymer... {Clearly Unity} A Few of My Faves. I just can't get enough of this cute penguin!! I stamped it with Black Amalgam ink and Copic colored it with the following Copic markers:

Penguin: C00, C1, C3, YR21, YR15, YR

Scarf: R00, R20, R14

Presents: BG70, BG72, BG75, N0, N2, N4

I then die cut the penguin using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. And die cut a mat from the beautiful papers using the next largest die from the set. I had also stamped the sentiment on a decent sized scrap so I ended up die cutting that using the bottom portion of the same die I used to die cut the penguin. 

I love this month's sketch! The stripes in the background can be just striped paper or can be created using papers from a paper pack or even just random complimentary papers from a paper stash! The possibilities are endless!! So for my card today I decided to cut 1/2" strips from the papers in the Snowflake Elegance {paper pack}. There are 13 different papers in this paper pack so I just cut 1/2" strips of each of those 13 papers. I cut a 4 x 5-1/4" piece of a thin white card stock and I adhered the paper strips onto that card stock and then trimmed off all the excess. I adhered the penguin circles to the background and then adhered my background to a white A2 top fold card base. Easy peasy!

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 48 for the month of August. Loving this sketch! I can't wait to see what everyone does with it. I hope you'll join us and play along with the sketch.
