{BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2026 Linky Party ~ TOP Inky Inspiration Sketch 41 ~ Cozy Coco ~ Digi Doodle Studios

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with another holiday card for the {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2026 Linky Party!! I'm sharing another cute digi stamp that I printed off for this linky party... Cozy Coco from our lovely Sponsor Digi Doodle Studios. Such a cutie!

I colored up Cozy Coco with Copic markers and then fussy cut the image leaving a border and set it aside to figure out my background. 

Copic markers used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R00, R20

Hair: Y21, E43, E44

Hat: C0, C2, R20, R14, R27

Footie Pajamas: RV10, RV02, C0, C2

Presents: R20, R14, R27, BG000, BG10, BG01

Mug: BG000, BG10, BG01, C0, C2, E25, E11

Plate: R20, R14, R27

Cookies: C0, C2

I paired up this sweet digi with the retired Peppermint Latte 6x6 Paper Pad from Sponsor Not 2 Shabby.

My card design was inspired by TOP Inky Inspiration Sketch 41. This one is great for scraps! I die cut the pink papers from scraps in my paper pack. 

I die cut some snowflakes using a die from the Gnome Dies: Winter Add Ons from Sponsor Jaded Blossom. I adhered those to a scrap of white card stock and then die cut them using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies} from Sponsor Unity Stamp Co. I adhered all my layers to a white A2 card base and then I popped up the sentiment and digi using foam tape. I finished off the card with a few peppermint confetti pieces from the Christmas Confetti Clay Embellishment Mix from Sponsor Twiddler's Nook.

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 41 ~ Garfield ~ Rubbernecker Stamps

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing more inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 41 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. A fun owl card!

I inked up the cute Garfield owl from Rubbernecker Stamps and colored it with some Copic markers that coordinated with my papers. I used the Garfield Die to die cut him. Sadly, Rubbernecker Stamps is no longer in business. I believe it was actually taken over by Brass & Bliss Craft Co. but I couldn't find this cute stamp anywhere to share with you all.

Copic Markers used:

Owl: W1, W3, W5, W7

Eyes: Y11, Y15, Y38

Beak / Feet: YR15, YR27

Cup: BG10, BG01, BG72

I paired up Mr. Garfield with the Ninth Street paper pad from The Paper Studio AKA Hobby Lobby. I just love the mix of colors in these papers! And the designs are fun too. I thought it was fun to die cut circles from the circle papers. I used the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies} from Unity.

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 41. The sketch, as always, is meant to inspire not require. So let the sketch lead in your design, but don't feel limited by it. I used larger circles and replaced the middle circle with the owl. 

All the pattern papers are adhered directly to a white card base. I stamped and trimmed the sentiment from the retired Hoot Hoot Hooray stamps from Unity. I popped up Garfield and the sentiment with foam tape. I hope you can find time to play along with the sketch challenge. Have an INKriffic week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 41 ~ Paper Wings ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing my first card for the new Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 41 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. A vintage style card!

I inked up my favorite butterfly from the Paper Wings stamps on a piece of pattern paper and colored it just a tiny bit with a couple Copic markers: W1 and RV10. I fussy cut the butterfly on the line {except around the antennae} and colored the edges of the fussy cutting with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker.

I paired up the lovely butterfly with the Vintage Whispers {paper pack}. These papers are so gorgeous! I alternated light and dark patterns to achieve the look I was going for. All of the circles were die cut using a small stitched die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}.

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 41. The sketch, as always, is meant to inspire not require. So let the sketch lead in your design, but don't feel limited by it. I moved the sentiment to the other side.

I adhered the circles on the 4 x 5-1/4" panel and then trimmed off the edges. I then adhered the panel to a white A2 card base. I bent the wings of the butterfly up and adhered just the thorax and antennae of the butterfly to the center circle. I finished off the card by stamping the sentiment from the Extended Celebration stamps with Black Amalgam ink directly on the card. I hope you can find time to play along with the sketch challenge. Have an INKriffic week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
