{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 59 ~ Lovely Latte ~ Lawn Fawn

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with a little inspiration for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 59 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a fun holiday card featuring a cute die and stamp from our fabulous Sponsor, Lawn Fawn.

I started with my background for this card. I pulled out my retired Perfectly Plaid Christmas 6x6 Paper Pack and trimmed the background layer to 4 x 5-1/4". The teal paper was a scrap. It measures 4 x 1-3/4". I adhered those layers to a red A2 top fold card base of Pure Poppy card stock from Papertrey Ink.

I die cut the pieces for the cup using the Lovely Latte dies. The face and handle were die cut from Pure Poppy card stock. The coffee was die cut from Kraft card stock from Papertrey Ink. The lighter part of the coffee, the inner (green) portion of the cup, and the face/cheeks were die cut from Stampers Select White card stock and I colored them with Copics.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Green: YG11, G24, G46

Coffee: E51

Cheeks: R00, R20

Kitty: R00, R20, YR20, YR15, N0, N2, N4

Bell: Y15, Y28

Eyes / Mouth: 100 (black)

I die cut a circle from vellum card stock using a die from the Large Cross-Stitched Circle Stackables dies. I adhered the cup to the vellum and then adhered the vellum to the card by only applying liquid glue behind the cup. I stamped the adorable kitty from the Say What? Holiday Critters. I colored her like my sweet Quinn and die cut her with the coordinating Say What? Holiday Critters dies. I popped her up on the card with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment from the Thanks a Latte stamp set. I trimmed it and adhered it directly to the card.

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 59 ~ Build-A-Snow Globe ~ Lawn Fawn

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 fun Christmas card featuring a bunch of fun products from our fabulous Sponsor, Lawn Fawn! Lawn Fawn has generously offered up a $25 gift card as a prize for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 59 this month! Woohoo!!

I started my card with a fun background of pretty holiday papers. I used the retired Knit Picky 6x6 Paper Pack {alternate Knit Picky Winter 6x6 Paper Pack}. I love these papers and I'm so glad that they released another paper pack with fun colors. I don't know about you, but I have a bunch of dies that I bought with good intentions to create cards with but it seems I never reach for them. So for this month's challenge, I've played with some of those dies and I'm so excited! I used the wonderful Build-A-Snow Globe dies. I love snow globes!!

I created a fun scene for my snow globe using the exclusive Nutty or Nice? stamps from the STAMPtember set created with Simon Says Stamp. This is one of my favorite stamp sets! I use it a lot. I just adore these squirrels! The trees are from the snow globe dies. The hills are die cut using the Stitched Hillside Borders. 

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Squirrels: W0, W1, W3, W5

Green Scarves: YG11, G24, G46

Santa Hat: C0, C1, R20, R14, R27

Acorn Present: E21, E25, E57, R20, R14, R27

Sky: B000, B00 

The little bow and greenery are die cut from New Leaf and Pure Poppy card stock from Papertrey Ink using dies from the Christmas Garland dies. And then the circles are die cut using dies from the Large Cross-Stitched Circle Stackables dies. I adhered all of my layers to a white A2 top fold card base. The little circles are popped up on the card with foam tape.
