Coffee Lovers Fall | Winter Blog Hop #3

 One last card for this blog hop!  I don't know if there will be anymore before it's over tonight at midnight PST, but I have neglecting housework!  LOL Better get on that!!

This one is based on a previous BYSH Cardmakers sketch (#12).  Used a Unity Stamp Co. 2020 Advent Calendar stamp (the mug) and the sentiment is from .....heart of Christmas, also Unity Stamp Co.  Papers are old....from Fancy Pants St. Nick (2011).  Twines are from Bella Creationz and the "dots" are Nuvo Vintage Drops in Postbox red.

If I'm quick about it.....I'll be entry 979!!  Wonder if we'll get to 1000?!?!?

Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2021

 Happy Thursday!  It was recently shared with me that there is a Coffee Lovers Card Making Group (say what?!?!?). Not only is there is a Coffee Lovers Card Making Group, they are having a Blog Hop!  I'm so in!!

I've been sort of a rut since the craft show I did a few weeks ago.  I'm calling it "Craft Show Hangover!"  We unloaded the car and everything is everywhere! LOL. Time to clean it up and get crafting!!

First card for the Blog Hop is created using some Unity Stamps!  I used the sentiment from "warm & cozy" and the coffee cup from "Joy, peace and comfort mug."

Stamped the sentiment all over with versamark and then white embossing powder.  Ink blended some walnut stain and tea dye over the embossing.  Stamped and fussy cut the cup, colored with Tombow Art Markers.  Twine from stash, gems from pink fresh.

Polka Dot Orchard DT!!

 There has been some exciting news here in my world.....I've joined the Polka Dot Orchard Design Team!!!

Polka Dot Orchard is an online store for digital images and creative crafty things! :)

I've created a few projects using a set called Calling All Reindeer.  Christmas tags were cut and the banner image was printed!  Some patterned paper and some twine and these are ready to adorn any package!

I then printed the large reindeer head.  I distressed the edges and inked with Black Soot.  The red stripe is red ribbon!  I used a sketch from {BYSH} Cardmakers Sketch Challenge #16

Thanks for checking it out!  This reindeer card was supposed to be entered into the Jingle Belles Challenge, but I missed the deadline!  Card was done this morning, but life happened!  I remembered 2 1\2 hours too late!

{BYSH} Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Hop (card 4)!!

 {BYSH} Cardmakers.....it's Wednesday!!  WHOO HOO!!  I've done card #4 and have many more ideas in my head!  Thanks to all our amazing sponsors and all of your super awesome cards already posted!  Let's keep this party going!!

This jolly little fellow is from Angie Blom Digitial Designs who happens to be one of our generous sponsors!

I love the old world feel of this guy!  I've always loved the old world Santa images and Christmas things!

I printed this tall guy on plain white cardstock and colored with Tombow Art Markers.  Die cut with a Tim Holtz die set (stacked deckle) and then distressed the edges with some antique linen.  Designer cardstock is part of a pack from My Minds Eye called Holly Jolly (psst don't tell anyone, but it's from 2010), kraft is from Unity Stamp Co!  Sentiment is from the same digital download and was also printed on plain cardstock.  

Be sure to check out the hop!  It's tons of fun and you may even win some awesome prizes......just be sure to enter your creations and use #fallingfortheholidays2021byshchop!

{BYSH} Cardmakers Falling for the Holiday Hop (card 3)

 Happy Tuesday Holiday Hop Cardmakers!  I'm back with card #3 for the Falling for the Holidays Hop!

Today's card features another favorite of mine from Unity Stamp Co.  It's called snowmie.

I created the background with some ink smooshing through a stencil (used Broken China and Faded Jeans) which didn't produce the results I wanted.....so I just smooshed the remaining ink on the block.  Distressed the edge with distressing tool and then inked with Black Soot.

Stamped the snowman on regular white cardstock, colored with Tombow Art Markers and fussy cut him out!  I did loosely follow Karen Maldonado's color choices for the scarf (hope she doesn't mind).  The sentiment was cut from a piece of designer cardstock.  The snowflakes at the top are from Dollar Tree!

I'm adding this lovely to the BYSH Cardmakers Holiday Hop and also adding to the current Jingle Belles challenge for "creatures."  Although I don't think this guy is to0 ominous!!

{BYSH} Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Hop (card 2)

 {BYSH} Cardmakers Falling for the Holiday Hop is live and going strong!  My second card is below.  I am using two of our fantastic sponsors......Unity Stamp Co. and Gina Marie Designs.

My card features .... cheerful prancing by Unity Stamp Co.  A favorite of mine for sure!

Following a saved video from 2017, I stamped this striking image on 110lb white cardstock. Distressed with Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain distress ink/oxide.  Spritzed with some water to distress.  Distressed further the edges with a distressing tool and then inked with Black Soot distress ink.  Mounted on designer cardstock from My Minds Eye's Cozy Christmas collection.  I also used some twine from May Arts (twine) and Timeless Twine (black).  Stamped the sentiment on white cardstock and distress in the same way as the large panel.  I added a few black acrylic dots (gina marie designs) to finish it off.

I absolutely love this set!  I use it many, many times each season!

I am entering this into the BYSH Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Hop and also the Jingle Belles challenge for "not a creature was stirring."

Thanks for looking and commenting!  All are appreciated!! :)
