{BYSHC} Sketch #46 - Happy Ho Ho Holidays!

Hello and welcome back! My next card for {BYSHC} Sketch 46 was super fun to create! These stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn are so easy to create an entire scene with! 

This set it called Ho Ho Holidays and also comes with a matching die set! The paper I used is an older kit that I can't seem to find the name of right off the top of my head. I will add it when I can locate the name of it! I die cut the top (green) panel with a scallop edge die from Pink Fresh Studios. The circles are cut using the scallops and circles nesting dies from Unity Stamp Co. Santa and the Mrs. were stamped onto white cardstock with versafine clair in nocturne, then die cut with the matching die set. Colored with alcohol markers. I added a tiny bit of white gel pen for accents and some foam tape for dimension!! 

Thanks for visiting! Hope to see you back soon! :)

 

{BYSHC} Sketch 46! - It's Santa!

Hello there and welcome! {BYSHC} the Sketch 46 challenge is half way complete! As it was announced at the beginning of the year, each month's challenge prize will be brought to you by one of our amazing sponsors! This month it happens to be Lawn Fawn! Entries must be entered into the Sketch 46 Album in the {BYSHC} Facebook group!

Ever have one of those "ah-ha" moments and then try to recreate on paper what you thought in your head?!? That's what happened here! I had the brilliant idea to create a rooftop using scalloped paper! :/ except that my scallop wasn't very big so it took way more layers than I expected! LOL However, this super cute card took shape and turned out super cute!

So as I said, I started with a white card base and to that I added layer upon layer of different brown papers punched with a scalloped edge punch! The bottom is pretty thick, but looks cool!! The santa and sleigh and all the presents and bags are from the Lawn Fawn kit called Ho-Ho-Holidays and the matching die set! The blue paper is from a pad from PhotoPlay called It's a Wonderful Christmas. I thought it looked like the night sky! I added some fuzzy fibers to resemble snow to the roof top. The chimney was fabricated from a scrap piece of brown and  a black marker! LOL I added a die cut moon and some star sequins to complete the night sky! The sentiment was stamped and fussy cut prior to attaching it to the roof!

Below is the sketch for reference! Lawn Fawn is generously giving a $25 gift certificate to the winner of this month's challenge!

Welcome to June and Sketch 46!

 Wow! We are already in June! How did that happen!?!? Well here in Florida its difficult to think about winter and Christmas when the temp is 100 outside!! But at BYSHC it's always Christmas!

This month's sponsor is Lawn Fawn! I have been trying to use the sponsored product on the sponsored month! This cute Santa scene is all from the kit called Ho-Ho-Holidays and the matching die set. I stamped and cut out all the pieces, then colored. I used some alcohol markers and a white gel pen. The paper is from a recently acquired pad ffrom PhotoPlay called It's a Wonderful Christmas. The blue looked like the night sky to me! Santa is backed with a circle of vellum. The sentiment was stamped with versamark embossing ink and then embossed with gina k designs white embossing powder. The circle and banner were cut using dies from Unity Stamp Co.

Have your entries posted on the BYSHC Facebook page before the end of the month for your chance to win a Lawn Fawn $25 Gift Certificate!!!

Holly Jolly!

 Started the month with day one of sketch 34 for {BYSHC} and ending the month too! Entries can be posted on the Facebook group until midnight tonight! Today my card features a sweet jolly Santa from Unity Stamp Co. wishing you a Holly Jolly Christmas!

I started with a white card base, followed the sketch (below) for measurements and cut my papers accordingly. The paper is new to me, but older SU Christmas papers. I stamped Santa onto watercolor paper with VersaFine Clair Nocturne and then colored with Tombow ABT Markers. Added some white gel pen to a couple areas and darkened the rim of his glasses. I then added some glossy accents to the lenses. Fussy cut him out and stamped the sentiment on a scrap of white. Die cut with banner nesting dies that came in a monthly kit from Unity.

You still have plenty of time to enter! Sketch below!!

New Month, New Sketch!

 Happy June 1st! A new month, means a new sketch at {BYSHC}! This sketch has SOOOO much potential! 

My card today features a die and stamp set which I purchased with my gift certificate from Lawn Fawn, which I won during the Spring Into Christmas Linky Party! It's called Ho-Ho-Holidays. While it was somewhat time consuming getting all the pieces cut and stamped and then colored and put together, I do love the end result! Super cute! Papers are all from a pack called Gnome for the Holidays Christmas by Photoplay. Cut according to the measurements. Santa and sleigh were cut from white cardstock, stamped with versafine clair in nocturne and then colored with Tombow ABT markers. Sentiment also from the same set was stamped in a similar way and cut as a banner! I put all the elements together in a cute scene and added some foam tape for dimension. Red enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs for the finish! 

Can't wait to see everyone's take on this sketch! Have fun!
