{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 60 ~ Juniper Girl ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with one last card for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 60 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a vintage style holiday card featuring beautiful papers and a lovely stamp from our wonderful Sponsor, Unity Stamp Co.

I adore the vintage vibe of the North Pole Collection {paper pack}. I wanted to pair these wonderful papers up with a sweet Angie Girl... it's been quite a long time since I inked up one of the girls. I chose Juniper Girl. I think she's just lovely.

I cut and die cut all of my papers from the North Pole Collection {paper pack} and adhered them to a vanilla card base. I used scraps for the center panel so the height of each one may be a smidge different but the width on all four is 2-3/4". I wanted a Christmas sentiment so I went looking through my other Angie Girl stamps and found this one from the December Girl stamps. I stamped it on a scrap of paper from the paper pack and adhered it to the center panel. And then I added foam tape to the back of both and popped it up on the card.

I stamped Juniper Girl with Black Amalgam ink and colored her up with Copic markers. I fussy cut the image leaving a border around the edges and then adhered her to the card with a mix of foam tape {for the right edge of the tree hanging off of the center panel} and liquid glue.

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

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Hair: E00, E11, E25

Hat / Scarf / Mittens: RV000, RV02, C0, C2

Coat: E0000, E81, E43

Pants: E11, E33

Shoes: E000, E11, E15

Cup: G000, G24, G46, C0, C2

Tree: G000, G24, G46, E11, E25

Ornaments: RV10, RV21, RV02, RV29

Snow: C0, C2

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 60 ~ Frosty & Feisty {Pissy Kitty} ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with a little inspiration for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 60 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a fun holiday card featuring fun papers, dies and stamp from our fabulous Sponsor, Unity Stamp Co.

I started with my paper layers for this card. I pulled out my Catmas Party {paper pack} and trimmed the background layer to 4 x 5-1/4". I adhered it to a red top fold card base. I cut four strips of patten paper measuring 2-5/8 x 7/8".  I die cut a piece of red card stock with a die from the Deckle & Stitches Nesting Die Set. And then I adhered the strips in the center. I started by adhering the top and the bottom pieces. And then I was able to center the middle pieces and glue them down.

I stamped the fun kitty from the Frosty & Feisty {Pissy Kitty} using Black Amalgam ink and colored it up with Copic markers. And then I fussy cut it leaving a border. 

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

Kitty: N0, N2, N4, C0, C2, R20

Eyes: YG11, YG09

Hat: RV10, RV02, RV14

Ground: C0, C2

I adhered the sentiment to the center panel and then popped up the center panel using foam tape. And then I adhered the kitty. I love this pissy kitty! That face cracks me up!

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 60 ~ Arctic Joyride ~ 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 fun Christmas card featuring a super cute stamp and pretty papers from our fabulous Sponsor Unity! This month's prize is a $25 gift card to Unity!! Yay!

I inked up the adorable penguin from the Arctic Joyride stamps using Black Amalgam ink. This cutie doesn't take much to color up. 

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

Penguin: C0, C2, Y15, YR15, YR68

Scarf: R20, R14

Sled: E25

Red Present: R20, R14

Blue Present: BG000, BG10, BG01

I paired the cute penguin up with the Snowflake Elegance {paper pack}. I used a soft white pattern paper for my bottom layer measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2". The blue layer measures 4 x 5-1/4". I die cut the next layer using a die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}. And then I cut strips from my scraps to 2-5/8 x 3/4".

I stamped, trimmed and popped up the sentiment on the card with foam tape. I fussy cut the penguin and then popped him up on the card too. I finished it off with a couple glitter white enamel dots from my stash.
