Happy New Year!! {BYSHC} Sketch #53

 Happy New Year! My first card for 2025! Let the stash begin! :) {BYSHC} Sketch Challenges and Linky Parties allowed me to have not only enough cards, but some extra as well! No mad rush to create at the last minute to have enough! I am so thankful!! 

My card today features a leftover plaid background creation (I used the plaid builder stencils from Unity Stamp Co.) in blue, green and yellow with a white background. I backed it with some gold foil paper. I die cut the plaid panel with the Unity Stamp Co. scallops and rectangles nesting dies. The white triangle at the bottom was freehand cut. I added the gold paper along the edge, added it to the panel and then cut after the fact. No exact measurements on that one! The tag image is from Unity as well, ...snow buddies. I stamped onto a "freebie" tag, masked the right hand side of the stamp image as it wasn't going to fit, but I wanted to keep the tiny snowman! Colored with Tombow ABT markers. Added some ribbon and twine from my stash. The wood snowflake was also a "freebie" from Unity! The sentiment was left over from some cardmaking. I save everything! LOL

Thanks for stopping by, I would love to see your comments! Be sure to follow {BYSHC} on Facebook to see more sketches and inspiration!

{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2023 Linky Party!

The {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2023 Linky Party is in full swing!

My card came about in two ways....first I was trying to find the right green for a card a friend ordered and unfortunately this was NOT the right green! LOL But since we never throw anything away I turned it into a background. While looking for the right stamp I found ...cheerful prancing which was the perfect "rustic" simple design that could go with a green floral background! It was then that I realized that Unity Stamp Co. also has the digital cut file for this amazing set! So I was off and running! 

Started with a white card base, next took a piece of plain white cardstock and stamped the amazing background called Tuscan Tile in fresh asparagus ink from Gina K. I used the scallops and rectangle nesting dies to die cut the large panel and then the rectangle in the center. The reindeer and sentiment as I said are from .....cheerful prancing which I stamped with distress oxide in vintage photo and then embossed with WOW! Neutral Ultra Shimmer Embossing Glitter AFTER I had already die cut them using the digital cut file! The rectangle is popped up with foam tape and its finished! :)

OOOO.....see the shimmer?!?!?
