{BYSHC} Sketch 62 - Ho Ho Ho

 Hello again! Welcome back! Sketch 62 is what we are working on this month! Christmas and Holiday card giving will be here soon! We are here to help you be ready for the busy season! Our sponsor this month is Gina K. Designs! I love her!

This card features a technique I learned from a Gina K video! It's not new, but it's new to me! Inked an embossing folder and ran the cardstock through it.  The embossing folder is Stampin Up Cable Knit, the ink I used is Gina K dye ink in Red Hot.  The image is from Angie Blom Digital Designs, called Christmas Joy Mugs.  Tag die cut with one of the make a tag die set from Unity Stamp Co. Enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs.

This card, while it may not be my favorite, is still a handmade card. Made by me, one of a kind and created with love! They don't all have to be masterpieces to be appreciated! :)

{BYSHC} Sketch 62 - Get Your Jingle On!

 Hello and welcome back! Sketch 62 is up and ready for your creativity! Gina K Designs is this month's sketch sponsor! I love her!!

I regularly see her videos or reels and try to save the techniques for future inspiration! This background was from one of those videos. Simple and easy technique.....I smeared some red hot, kraft and then grass green premium dye ink cubes to an acrylic block. Next sprayed some water on it and then placed it onto a piece of white cardstock. It moves and blends as it wants to! After it was dry, I cut it into the measurements of the sketch (or as close as I could)!  

The red polka dot paper is from Miss Kate Designs Holly Jolly pack and the stamp set is from Unity Stamp Co. called Planner Girl: get your jingle on! I stamped her first on the inked panel....to get all the extra dots and "hair", then stamped her again on white cardstock in order to color her! I fussy cut her out and glued her right on top of the first stamped image. I added some red enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs.

Be sure to follow along because starting next week.....October 17th is the Falling for the Holiday's Linky Party! It's the last one before the holidays! Lots of sponsors and prizes! Stay tuned!

{BYSHC} Sketch 62 - Happy Holidays

Hello and welcome to October! This is the time to crank those Christmas cards into high gear! We are in the home stretch!

Sketch 62 is upon us! The fantastic sponsor this month is Gina K Designs! I love her!! Her videos and reels inspire me often!  I see them mostly on Instagram, but sometimes a YouTube video notification pops up too!  

The background technique was inspired by one of those clips. I swiped, diagonally across some white cardstock, Gina K Dye Ink cubes in grass green and red hot and distress oxide in crackling campfire. Once dry, I cut it according to the sketch. The poinsettia is from a Unity Stamp Co. set called Merry Everything Poinsettia. I stamped with two stamps, first the flower in crackling campfire, then the black abstract design in versa fine clair in nocturne. The sentiment strip came from Waffle Flower, it's just called subsentiments Christmas Tree Diecut sheet.
