{BYSHC} Sketch #54 - Holly Jolly

Hello and welcome to February! {BYSHC} Sketch #54 is ready to go!

Today's card features a yummy steaming cup of cocoa just waiting to be had! The patterned papers are from Unity Stamp Co. North Pole Collection. The focal image is from Angie Blom Digital Designs, Christmas Joy Mugs. I just love this set! It comes with 8 different "mugs" to choose from! I colored this with some King Art Alcohol Markers, then used a white uni-ball signo gel pen to add little accents here and there. After I fussy cut the mug out, I added some foam adhesive to pop it up. Some tan enamel dots for a little accent.

Be sure to join in the fun! The sponsor for this month's prize is Club Scrap! I remember Club Scrap from WAAAAAY back in the day!! 

Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party - holly jolly

Hello there! The Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party is a great way to get those holiday cards going before the mad rush that is December!

Today's card is, you've guessed it, MORE SCRAPS! I chose a previous {BYSHC} Sketch for this one!

I had this piece of patterned paper from the Unity Stamp Co. White Winter Paper Pack. I found some matching solid red cardstock (two pieces taped together actually) and started cutting! I recently purchased some digital images from Angie Blom Digital Designs, this one happens to come from the Christmas Joy Mug set. Printed, then colored with King Art Alcohol Markers. Added some white gel pen, white acrylic paint and distress stain in vintage photo splattered on. As I said I used {BYSHC} sketch 41 for this one. I used a circle of vellum as the background for this fussy cut mug of hot steaming cheer! This sketch is great for using up scraps!

I then added some red enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs and some foam tape!

Why not enter this cute one into another challenge! The Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge October challenge is for coffee + whimsical! 

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!!
