{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. 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! Lots of beautiful inspiration this month from the design team.

See ya next time.

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 47 ~ Create-in-Quads Snowflake Layering Stencil ~ Taylored Expressions

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with more inspiration for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 47 over in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a fun Christmas card featuring the awesome Create-in-Quads Snowflake Layering Stencil from our amazing sponsor, Taylored Expressions! Taylored Expressions has generously offered up a $25 gift card as a prize for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 47 this month! So fabulous!!

The Create-in-Quads Snowflake Layering Stencil makes it so easy to ink up a whole 8-1/2 x 11" sheet of card stock that you can cut up and make four awesome cards out of it!! The set includes four layering stencils that line up so easily and all you have to do is pick your colors and blend away! It was so much fun! I decided to use my four card stock panels in a different way. I actually used two of the four panels to create the fun layers in the card.

I blended Tumbled Glass Distress Ink over the first stencil being sure to ink up the four squares on the edges of the stencil. Those four squares are the guides to lining up the next three stencils. I replaced the first stencil with the second stencil in the set and blended Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink over that stencil. I blended Black Soot Distress Ink over the third stencil and then more Tumbled Glass Distress Ink over the fourth stencil. You may remember this color combo from the card I shared earlier in the month.

I cut the 8-1/2 x 11" sheet into my four panels. I trimmed down the first panel to 3-7/8 x 5-1/8" and mat it with a 4 x 5-1/4" piece of True Black Card Stock from Papertrey Ink. I trimmed the fourth panel for my next layers. My first piece measures 2-3/8 x 3-7/8". I mat it with a 2-1/2 x 4" piece of black card stock and a 2-5/8 x 4-1/8" piece of Bashful Blue Card Stock from Stampin' Up. The top layer was die cut from the remaining piece of the fourth panel. I die cut it using a die from the Stitched Square Stacklets from Taylored Expressions. I mat this layer with a 2-5/8" square piece of black card stock and a 2-3/4" square piece of blue card stock. I die cut one of the snowflakes from the scrap leftover from the fourth panel using the Stitched Circle Stacklets from Taylored Expressions. I mat it with a die cut circle from black card stock. I used the Nesting Additional Circles Dies from Waffle Flower for that piece. I added a glitter white enamel dot from my stash to finish off the snowflake layers.

 I heat embossed the sentiment from the Fluffy Friends - Holiday stamp set from Taylored Expressions. I prepped my black card stock with the TE Anti Static Powder Tool. I stamped the cute sentiment using the Sugar Cube White Pigment ink and added Alabaster White Embossing powder from Brutus Monroe. I then melted the embossing powder using my Wagner Precision Heat Tool. After letting the melted powder cool a bit, I rubbed my card stock with a microfiber cloth to remove the anti static powder. I trimmed up the sentiment and added a bit of foam tape to the right side and then adhered the sentiment directly to the card using liquid glue on the left side. A great trick to adhere the sentiment flat for cards with lots of layers. 

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 47 for the month of July. 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. 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! So many fabulous cards this month from the design team.

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 47 ~ Do You Wanna Build a Snowman ~ Taylored Expressions

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 adorable Do You Wanna Build a Snowman die from our awesome sponsor, Taylored Expressions! Taylored Expressions has generously offered up a $25 gift card as a prize for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 47 this month! So amazing!!

Lots of layers for this month's sketch! A great sketch for pattern papers though I went a different route this time using the Simple Snowflakes embossing folder from Tim Holtz for my background paper layers. I lightly rubbed the raised snowflakes of Night of Navy card stock from Stampin' Up with a bit of Sugar Cube White Pigment ink from Taylored Expressions. I mat them with Stampers Select White card stock from Papertrey Ink. And the layers are adhered to a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" piece of True Black card stock from Papertrey Ink that's adhered to a white A2 top fold card base.

I started my focal image by ink smooshing Tumbled Glass, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Inks on a medium piece of card stock. I left some white in the middle while I was ink smooshing and then blended Chipped Sapphire lightly over the panel giving the background a nice light middle to showcase the silhouettes. I dried the background with my heat tool and added some white acrylic paint splatters. The silhouettes are a fun retired die that I've had in my stash for quite awhile. So bummed it's not available anymore. I die cut the silhouette from a piece of True Black card stock. And then again from a scrap of Stampers Select White card stock. I offset the white behind the black die cut to give a shine to the silhouette. I love the effect! What do you think?

I die cut the ink smooshed background using the Stitched Bracket Stacklets dies from Taylored Expressions {these must be retired, I can't find them on the website}. I also die cut a scrap of black card stock for the bottom piece. I mat the focal image with a piece of white card stock that I die cut using the Stitched Square Stacklets dies. My sentiment from the Fluffy Friends - Holiday stamp set from Taylored Expressions is heat embossed. I prepped my black card stock with the TE Anti Static Powder Tool. I absolutely LOVE this tool! It was a Christmas gift from a crafty friend a couple of years ago and it has been a game changer for my heat embossing. I highly recommend it! Anywho, I stamped the cute sentiment using the Sugar Cube White Pigment ink and added Alabaster White Embossing powder from Brutus Monroe. I then melted the embossing powder using my Wagner Precision Heat Tool. After letting the melted powder cool a bit, I rubbed my card stock with a microfiber cloth to remove the anti static powder. I trimmed up the sentiment and adhered it directly to the card. Lots of layers for this card so I didn't use any foam tape.

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 47 for the month of July. 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.

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 46 ~ Eat, Sleep & Be Merry ~ Lawn Fawn

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with one last card for the {BYSHC} Sketch 46 over in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a sweet Christmas card featuring the super cute sloth from the exclusive Eat, Sleep & Be Merry stamp from our awesome sponsor, Lawn Fawn! This stamp set was a collaboration with Simon Says Stamp for the 2021 STAMPtember event. 

Unfortunately, it's not available anymore but I'm super excited to finally ink up my stamp set. I know I'm not the only one with uninked stamp sets in their stash. I love inking up some of these sets for our challenges. I stamped the cute sloth, a gift and a couple of ornaments using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored them all up with Copic markers.

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

Sloth: W00, W2, W4, W6, W8

Branch: E55, E57, E59

Red: R20, R14, R46

White: C00, C1, C3

I die cut the sloth using a die from the Large Cross-Stitched Circle Stackables dies from Lawn Fawn. I also die cut the gift and ornaments using the coordinating Eat, Sleep & Be Merry die set. I paired up the cute sloth with pretty papers called Knit Picky 6x6 Petite Paper Pack. Looks like Lawn Fawn discontinued those papers but they do have the Knit Picky Winter 6x6 Petite Paper Pack. I adhered the pattern paper to a white A2 top fold card base turned on its side for a landscape card.

I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of white card stock using Candied Apple Distress Ink. I trimmed up the sentiment cutting a fishtail at one end. I adhered it to the circle and then I added foam tape to the back of both pieces and popped them up on the card. I like to use a thin foam tape from Scrapbook Adhesive. It gives a bit of dimension but it's not too bulky to mail the card in a regular A2 envelope. 

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 46 for the month of June. I am really loving this sketch! I am also loving all the entries for this month's challenge. I hope you'll join us and play along with the sketch. There's just a few days left to play along!

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 46 ~ Winter Skies ~ Lawn Fawn

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with more inspiration for the {BYSHC} Sketch 46 over in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a sweet Christmas card featuring the adorable Winter Skies stamp from our awesome sponsor, Lawn Fawn! Lawn Fawn has generously offered up a $25 gift card as a prize for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 46 this month! So amazing!!

This month's sketch is so simple! I think it makes for a pretty quick card. I couldn't help myself I had to ink smoosh again. It's just so therapeutic creating a background just by smooshing some ink. I used Tumbled Glass, Wilted Violet, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Inks for a pretty winter sky. I then ink blended a bit of the Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink over the background and ink smooshed some more Wilted Violet Distress Ink. It pairs up perfectly with the adorable Winter Skies stamp from Lawn Fawn. I dried the background completely with a Wagner Precision Heat Tool and then splattered white acrylic paint on the panel.

I die cut my ink smooshed panel using the Forest Borders dies. And then I placed the die back in the negative space of the panel and die cut a card front of Stampers Select White Card Stock. By lining up those two pieces of card stock at the top, I was able to line up the card stock and background so they'll fit back together like a puzzle and make just one layer on the card. I hope that makes sense. I'm trying to keep my layers minimal for some cards so I don't have to worry about extra postage when I mail them. The other option would be to just die cut the white card stock piece and adhere it over the ink smooshed background. Super easy, but it adds that partial layer. Before adhering the pieces together onto a white A2 top fold card base, I ran the ink smooshed background through my Big Shot with the Stitched Windy Backdrop die. You can see some of the fun stitches on the left side of the card. It's kind of hard to see them in the photos though. It's such a fun touch in person though!

I stamped the adorable bears on a scrap of white card stock. I colored them up with my Copic markers. I then die cut them using the coordinating die from the Winter Skies Lawn Cuts. I set the bears aside and stamped the sentiment from the Winter Skies onto my card front. I used an acetate grid sheet over the card to check the position and adjusted until I was happy. I added foam tape to the back of the bears and popped them up on the card. I like to use a thin foam tape from Scrapbook Adhesive. It gives a bit of dimension but it's not too bulky to mail the card in a regular A2 envelope. 

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

Left Bear: E53, E55, E57, E59

Right Bear: E51, E53, E55, E57

Scarf: B000, B02, B04, V01, V05, V06

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 46 ~ Cheery Deer ~ 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 sweet Christmas card featuring the adorable deer die from our amazing sponsor, Lawn Fawn! Lawn Fawn has generously offered up a $25 gift card as a prize for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 46 this month! So awesome!!

This month's sketch is pretty simple! I think it'll be a great one to make multiple cards with. Of course, that does depend on what your focal image is for the card. LOL! I chose the adorable Cheery Deer dies from our amazing sponsor Lawn Fawn. And this adorable die is really fun to work with but it's also a bit time consuming. I did have some leftover die cuts in with my dies from the last card I made using this die so that was cool. And then I just used scraps of card stock to cut the other pieces I needed. I used Kraft, Berry Sorbet, Tropical Teal, Pure Poppy and True Black card stock from Papertrey Ink along with Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink card stock from Stampin' Up.

I paired up the adorable deer with the beautiful Perfectly Plaid Christmas 6x6 Petite Paper Pack. Sadly, I can't find these papers on the website. I adhered the plaid pattern paper to the front of a white A2 top fold card turned on its side. I trimmed another piece of Stampers Select White card stock from Papertrey Ink to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" and die cut it using a die from the Stitched Hillside Borders dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the Winter Wavy Sayings stamp set using my Mini Misti so I could bend the sentiment to fit along the stitched edge. I used an acetate grid sheet over the card to check the position and adjust until I was happy. It's not perfect but it's handmade so I'm happy with it. I die cut a piece of vellum using a die from the Large Cross-Stitched Circle Stackables. I adhered the deer to the vellum and then added glue just behind the deer to adhere it to the card. This way no glue showed through the vellum. I added a cute enamel dot to the deer's nose to finish this one off.

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 46 for the month of June. I am 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.

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 45 ~ Fireside Friends ~ Newton's Nook Designs

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with one last card for the {BYSHC} Sketch 45 over in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing an adorable Christmas card featuring the cute Fireside Friends Stamp Set from our amazing sponsor, Newton's Nook Designs! Newton's Nook Designs has generously offered up a $20 gift code as a prize for the winner of this month's challenge! Please take note that today is the last day to enter the challenge!

I paired up the super sweet Fireside Friends Stamp Set with the cute Christmas Time 6x6 Paper Pad. I thought the houses complimented the fireside scene so well! I was very tempted to add more to the background of the scene. That's a lot of white... but I didn't want to take away from the cute stamp.

I stamped the sweet Fireside Friends and sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Stampers Select White Card Stock from Papertrey Ink that I had cut down to 4-1/16 x 4". And then I colored up the critters and fireplace using a bunch of Copic markers. 

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

White Kitty: C00, C1, C3, R00, R20

Orange Kitty: YR21, YR15, R00, R20, Colorless Blender

Pup: E51, E55, E57, N3, N5, N7, B0000, B00

Rug: R20, R14, R46

Garland: YG11, G24, G46

Bow: R20, R14, R46

Fireplace: C00, C1, C3, N0, N1, N3, N5

Grate: N3, N5, N7

Wood: E53, E55, E57

Fire: Y06, YR21, YR15, YR68

I trimmed the angle on the right of the stamped panel using the measurements from the sketch. I measured 3-1/4" on the top of the paper and made a tick mark with pencil. I measured the bottom at 3" and made another tick mark. And then I measured up from the bottom right corner to 1-3/4". I made my final tick mark and then I trimmed the angle using my Tim Holtz Tonic Guillotine Comfort Paper Trimmer. I adhered the panel to my 5-1/4 x 4" piece of pattern paper and then adhered it to a 5-1/2 x 4-1/4" piece of Pure Poppy Card Stock from Papertrey Ink. I then adhered the panel to a white A2 top fold card base that I turned on the side for a landscape card. I finished off the card with a few enamel dots.

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 45 for the month of May. I've really enjoyed this sketch! Remember... today is the last day to enter this challenge!

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 45 ~ Newton's Stocking ~ Newton's Nook Designs

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with more inspiration for the {BYSHC} Sketch 45 over in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a sweet Christmas card featuring the adorable Newton's Stocking Stamp Set from our awesome sponsor, Newton's Nook Designs! Newton's Nook Designs has generously offered up a $20 gift code as a prize for the  this month! Have you played along with the sketch?!

I paired up sweet Newton from the Newton's Stocking Stamp Set with the adorable Meowy Christmas 6x6 Paper Pad. They compliment each other so well. I couldn't help but color up a red stocking. So classic for Christmas but now that I'm looking at it with the papers maybe I should have done blue or green. 

I stamped the sweet kitty and sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Stampers Select White Card Stock from Papertrey Ink. And then I colored up the kitty using a handful of Copic markers. 

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

Kitty: R00, R20, YR21, YR15, Colorless Blender

Stocking / Santa Hat: C00, C1, R20, R14, R46

I adhered the pattern papers together and then I cut a few strands of twine, thread it through the hole in the tag and then I tied a pretty bow. I added a few pieces of foam tape to the top and bottom of the tag so it lays flat over the twine. I then adhered the panel to a white A2 top fold card base that I turned on the side for a landscape card. I fussy cut the kitty on the black line and popped him up on the card with foam tape. I can't believe I still don't have the coordinating Newton's Stocking Die Set. Definitely adding that to my next order! I actually die cut the cute tag using a small tag from the Frames & Tags Die Set before I stamped the sentiment. 

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 45 for the month of May. I am 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. 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!

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 45 ~ Bells & Holly ~ Newton's Nook Designs

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 beautiful holly stamp from our awesome sponsor, Newton's Nook Designs! Newton's Nook Designs has generously offered up a $20 gift code as a prize for the {BYSHC} Sketch 45 this month! So amazing!! Thanks so much, Jen and Jeff!

I am loving this month's sketch! It was inspired by a Christmas card that I received from my sweet friend, Vannessa Osbourn. I loved the card and the design so much I just had to turn it into a sketch. I used all of the measurements noted in the sketch this time.

I paired up the beautiful Christmas Time 6x6 Paper Pad with the beautiful Bells & Holly Stamp Set. I trimmed the green polka dot paper to 4 x 5-1/4". I then trimmed the holly paper to 4 x 4-1/16". From the bottom right corner I measured 1-3/4" up and marked my paper with pencil. I then measured from the top left corner 3-1/4" to the right and marked my paper with pencil again. And lastly, I measured from the bottom left corner 3" to the right and marked my paper one last time. I cut the angle of my paper using the three pencil marks on the paper. I sure hope that makes sense. 

I adhered the pattern papers together and then adhered them to a white A2 top fold card base that I turned on the side for a landscape card. I colored up the beautiful holly from the Bells & Holly Stamp Set with a handful of Copic markers. I then die cut the holly and adhered it to a vellum oval I had die cut using a die from the Oval Frames Die Set. I then adhered the oval to the card by adding glue just behind the holly so no glue would show through the vellum. I stamped the sentiment and trimmed it. I then mat it with a piece of Green Parakeet card stock from Papertrey Ink. I adhered it directly to the card.

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

Holly Leaves: G000, YG11, G24, G46

Holly Berries / Ribbon: R20, R14, R46

Branch: E21, E23, E25

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 45 for the month of May. I am 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.

Love You, Mom! ~ Snarky Mama ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

Popping in with a pretty Mother's Day card featuring the beautiful flowers from the brand new stamp called Snarky Mama from Unity Stamp Co. Even though I love all the fun and snarky sentiments in this kit, I just had to use the 'Love You, Mom!' sentiment. I miss my mama every single day.

I paired up the pretty flowers with the Kindness is Magic {paper pack}. I really love the yellow in this paper and wanted to color the flowers yellow! Which I did using a handful of Copic markers and die cut them with a stitched arch die from the Scallops & Arches {nesting dies}. I also die cut the sentiment using one of the dies from the Scalloped & Stitched Sentiment Nesting Dies.

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

Yellow Flowers: Y11, Y15, Y35, E23, E25

Red Flowers: R14, R46

Leaves: YG03, YG63, YG97

Inspiration for my card came from the {BYSHC} Sketch #7. This is one of my favorite sketches from the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group. If you're interested in seeing more fun sketches, check out the group or stop by the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers blog. I'd love to have you join us!

I die cut a scalloped arch from Kraft card stock from Papertrey Ink using the next largest die from the Scallops & Arches {nesting dies}. I used the dimensions for the sketch for my paper layers {minus the die cuts, of course}. The yellow card stock is Daffodil Delight from Stampin' Up and the green card stock is Prairie Grass from Papertrey Ink.

I adhered the sentiment to the arches and added foam tape to the back of both. I popped them up on the card. This turned out prettier than I had thought! Have a wonderful night friends!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Snarky Kitty Card ~ Kitty Boop ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

Popping in with a super cute and snarky kitty card featuring the sweet new Kitty Boop from Unity Stamp Co. I am loving this adorable kitty and right now she's the spotlight steal over at Unity!! Can't pass her up at $6.99! A serious steal!

I paired up the cute kitty with the Timeworn Paws Anthology {paper pack}. I love the vintage vibe of these papers! I colored up the kitty with a handful of Copic markers and die cut her with a tag die from the Make a Tag {die set}. I also die cut the HILARIOUS sentiment using one of the dies from the Scalloped & Stitched Sentiment Nesting Dies.

Inspiration for my card came from the TOP Inky Inspiration Sketch 20. If you follow my blog, you've seen a few cards I've made using this fun sketch. I host a fun sketch challenge in my Tawny Owl Paperie | Inky Inspiration Facebook group. Lots of fun inspiration shared just about every day in the group, as well. I'd love to have you join us!

I distressed the edges of the kitty tag and the sentiment with Vintage Photo Distress Ink so the colors coordinated better with the pattern papers. Here's a quick list of the Copic Markers I used for the cute kitty: N0, N2, N4, C00, R00, R20, YR21, YR15.

I adhered the sentiment to the tag and added foam tape to the back of both. I popped them up on the card. Finished off the card with a few heart enamel dots from my stash. Loving how this card turned out! Have a wonderful night friends!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Crystal
