{BYSHC} Sketch 19 - more inspiration!

Welcome back!  

I'm here to share the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch!  #19 is still active and going through the end of the month!  

Be sure to link your cards to the {BYSHC} Sketch album on FB!  



I took one double sided 6x6 sheet of SU Night Before Christmas paper and after much measuring and brain pain (lots of thinking it out for me this time!). Cut it correctly to use both sides!  The tag is a recycled (used) tag my daughter received this past Christmas!  I very rarely throw things away! LOL It matched the colors in the paper perfectly!  The sentiment was cut from a large sheet of worded paper....I cut strips with the words I wanted!  This one fit perfectly!

Can't wait to see what you create!  Be sure to check out past sketches and inspiration albums on the Facebook page!  You will be glad you did!

{BYSHC} Sketch 19 Challenge

 Welcome to my blog where everyday I WISH I WAS SCRAPPIN!  It's more about cardmaking these days rather than scrappin, but it's all sort of the same thing anyway....isn't it?!?

I'm here to share the newest Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch!  #19 is active!  Goes all month and will certainly get some holiday cards into your stash for less to do in December!

Be sure to link your cards to the {BYSHC} Sketch album on FB!  


My card today starts with a white card base.  I've added some kraft cardstock on the background.  The stars are embossed, then brushed with some Vintage Photo distress ink to add dimension and then I added some Nuvo Aqua Shimmer in the color Glitter Gloss.  The focal stamp is from Unity Stamp Co. called Brightly Shining.  The black and gold paper at the bottom is also from Unity....its called Resolutions.  It was part of the January 2022 Whit Kit.  Some quick distressing and a strip of gold sticker paper and viola!!  You are done!
