{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 72 ~ Snow Bunnies ~ Lawn Fawn

Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing one last card for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 72 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! I was inspired to make an all white card again... except I wanted to build a little scene so I added a tiny bit of color.

This time I built a fun white on white background using three different dies from our fab Sponsor Lawn Fawn. I used the Stitched Windy Backdrop die for my background. This is a landscape die and since I knew the space I wanted it for wasn't very big it wouldn't matter if it didn't fit the whole card base. The clouds are die cut using dies from the Puffy Cloud Borders dies. And the tree line was die cut using the Forest Border dies.

I inked up the exclusive Snow Bunnies from Lawn Fawn and Simon Says Stamps for STAMPtember way back in 2019. Geez!! I didn't realize I'd had these cuties that long. I did find another card on my blog using these cuties if you're interested you can click here to see it.

I adhered all of my layers to a white A2 card base. I adhered the bunnies directly to the card and then added the arms to the snowbunny and flower. No foam tape for this one. I think it has plenty of layers as it is. This was such a fun card to make! Hope you like it.

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 72 for the month of August. There's still time to enter the challenge! The challenge ends on Monday, August 31st. 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! I'm always blown away by the creations from the DT... they are amazingly talented cardmakers!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Skate Paw-ty ~ STAMPtember Collab ~ Newton's Nook Designs & Simon Says Stamp

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm so super excited to be sharing a cute card featuring stamps from the adorable STAMPtember collaboration stamp called Skate Paw-ty from Newton's Nook Designs that's available over at Simon Says Stamp!! Oh my gosh... I just can't handle the cuteness in this set!

I made a fun wintry card featuring one of the pups and the kitty from the stamp set. I stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copic markers. I die cut them both using the Skate Paw-ty coordinating dies.

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

Kitty: C0, C2, R00, R20

Pup: E000, E00, E11, E23 N0, N2, N4

Blues: B000, B00

Purples: BV000, BV02

White: B000, B00

I used a scrap piece of card stock to mask the top portion of my card base and blended lightly with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to create the ice for our skaters. And then stamped a bunch of snowflakes on the card. I also stamped three on a scrap piece of paper and die cut them using the coordinating dies.

I adhered the skaters and snowflakes with liquid glue and the I stamped the sentiment with the same Tumbled Glass Distress ink to finish off the card.

 Be sure to head over to Simon Says Stamp to get yours before they are all gone! These exclusive cuties will not be restocked! Once they are gone.. they are gone!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Santa Paws Filled with Joy ~ STAMPtember Collab ~ Newton's Nook Designs & Simon Says Stamp

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm so super excited to be sharing a cute card featuring a couple stamps from the adorable STAMPtember collaboration stamp called Santa Paws from Newton's Nook Designs that's available over at Simon Says Stamp!! Oh my gosh... I just can't handle the cuteness in this set!

I paired up this sweet reindeer in a stocking with the gorgeous Christmas Time 6x6 Paper Pad from Newton's Nook Designs. The vellum scalloped circle was die cut using a die from the Circle Frames Die Set from Newton's Nook Designs.

Inspiration for my card came from my new Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 15 {will be posted a bit later today in the group}. A pretty simple sketch with almost a CAS vibe. I share monthly sketches in my Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. Sketches make designing a card so much quicker. I use them all the time and started sharing them monthly last year, I think. I just recently started doing challenges with the sketches and I pick a winner to send a fun prize to each month. I hope you'll join in the fun and play along.

The adorable reindeer from the exclusive Santa Paws Stamp Set was so fun to color up. Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used to color it up:

Deer: E000, E51, E21, E23, E25, E27, N0, N1, N3, N5

Ears: R00, R20, E000

Nose: R20, R14, R46

Antlers: E21, E23

Hat / Stocking: C00, C1, C3, R20, R14, R46

I stamped the cute reindeer and the sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I trimmed up the sentiment and I popped it up using foam tape. I fussy cut the deer leaving a white border. FYI - this cute stamp set does have a coordinating die set available if you're not one for fussy cutting (it comes as a combo set).

 Be sure to head over to Simon Says Stamp to get yours before they are all gone! These exclusive cuties will not be restocked! Once they are gone.. they are gone!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Crystal
