{BYSHC} Sketch 46 - Magic of the Holidays

 Hello friends! My last card for the {BYSHC} Sketch 46 was fun to create! The monthly sponsor for June is Lawn Fawn and even though I only have one Lawn Fawn Christmas set, I made 4 different cards! 

I love this paper! :) This is a new to me kit from Photo Play called Tulla & Norbert's 

Christmas Party! It's so cute! This paper was cut using a edge die from PinkFresh Studios. I wanted to use sleigh, but in a different way than before! So I FILLED it up with gifts! The sentiment goes along with that! The stamps are from the Lawn Fawn set called Ho Ho Holidays and they also have a matching die set. I stamped all the pieces onto white cardstock with versafine clair in nocturne, colored with alcohol markers. Added some foam tape for dimension and some flat clear sequins.

Thanks for playing along with us this month! Keep an eye out for our next sketch and new sponsor!

{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!!!

{BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party - ONE MORE CARD!!

 ONE MORE CARD!! {BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party ends in a few hours! I had a few minutes so I made one more! :)

I had stamped two of these images to take with me to my daughter's dance studio this morning, but only used one.....so had one left over and ready to color!

Started with a white card base. Played with SEVERAL sketches and layouts and nothing looked right. Glued down, pulled it back up, glued again, moved stuff around.....sometimes it just takes a little while and some adjustments! Papers are scraps from Stampin Up. Colored with Tombow ABT Water based markers, sequins from unknown. Snowman is from Unity Stamp Co. Snow Day Like Today. Sentiment is from Lawn Fawn from Ho-Ho-Holidays. Foam tape, washi tape, thrown together and it works! :)

When you finish a card at 6pm and it's raining....you get a dark picture! 

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!
