BYSH Cardmakers Challenge #52

 


Can you believe Christmas is just a few days away? Where has the year gone? I am back today with another inspiration project for the Sketch #52 Challenge at BYSH Cardmakers. The challenge features a mini slimline card. Here is a look at the sketch. 

This sketch was a fun one to work with. My pattern papers are from a Honeybee Stamps Holiday Wishes 6" X 8.5" paper pad. My sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Elegant Modern Christmas stamp, die and foil set.

The circle element in this sketch is a wax seal from Spellbinders. I used a mixture of green wax melts and a Joy wax seal from Spellbinders. I went over the raised parts of the seal with a red paint pen, so it stood out better.

There is still time to play along with us using this sketch. Hope to see you there. Thanks for visiting.

BYSH Cardmakers Challenge #52




 It's time for a new sketch challenge over at the BYSH Cardmakers blog and Facebook group. Let's take a look at the sketch.

The sketch this month is for a mini slim line card. My pattern papers are from Photoplay Paper. My Santa sticker is from Doodlebug.

This was such a fun sketch to play with. I hope you all will join us and play along.

My card today features some pattern paper from Photoplay Papers 12" X 12" Santa Please Stop Here paper pack.

For my card I felt like my lines and corners to get through.  Good luck everyone.

BYSH Cardmakers Sketch #51 Project 2

 



I'm back with my second inspiration project for the Sketch #51 Challenge at BYSH Cardmakers. My card is a standard A2 card. I believe the pattern paper is from a Hobby Lobby 6" X 6" paper pad.

I found the Santa Sack in Cricut Design Space. I added some ink blending to my Santa Sack. I added some Stickles to the white parts of the sack.

Here is a look at the sketch.

BYSH Cardmakers Sketch #51 Challenge


 There is a new challenge over at the BYSH Cardmakers. Here is a look at the sketch.

I started my card base with some heavyweight white cardstock that was cut, scored and olde to make a standard A2 cardbase. For the rest of my card, I followed the measurements and layers from the card sketch.

I am not sure where the pattern paper is from. I embossed the green pattern paper with a Spellbinders 3D embossing folder. I cut a rectangle from some vellum.

I cut my candy cane with my Cricut, layered it together and adhered it to the vellum panel which I adhered to my card front.

I white heat embossed my sentiment on some red cardstock. It is from a Gina K Designs stamp set.

I thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will head over to the BYSH Cardmakers blog and check out the design team's projects and then link up your project in our Facebook Group. Thanks for stopping by.

I'm Dying Too See You - Featuring Kat Scrappiness


 Today I have a fun shaker card for using the Mummy Wrappings Background Die. For the background I started with some cream cardstock that I ink blended with some Distress Oxide Inks. I started with a light coat of Tea Dye. I then went in and added some Gathered Twigs, Vintage Photo, and Walnut Stain. I then sprayed some water over it, let it sit then used my microfiber cloth to pick up the water. Next, I lightly spritzed it with the Walnut Stain Distress Spritz.

I allowed it to dry then die cut it with the Mummy Wrappings Background Die. I used the outline as a template, so I knew where to glue the individual pieces to some black cardstock. I then die cut four more of the frames out of some heavy weight black cardstock. I then adhered three of the frames to the back of the cream cardstock frame and a piece of acetate on top of the cream-colored cardstock and then adhered the final black frame on top of that. this gave me plenty of height without having to use foam tape.

Next, I added some of the Halloween Solid Confetti Sequin Mix to the center of all the ink blended pieces. I then adhered my stack of frames over those pieces lining them up with the pieces adhered to the black cardstock base. I cut my eyes using some bright lime green cardstock and black cardstock. I layered the eyes together and added them to the black frame.

I stamped and die cut my sentiment using the Simple Sentiment Stamps-Halloween Edition.

Thanks for stopping by.

BYSH Cardmakers Sketch #50 Challenge


 I know our BYSH Cardmakers linky party is still going on, but so is our Sketch#50 challenge that ends at the end of this month. Here is my inspiration project for the Sketch #50 challenge.

For my inspiration project, I rotated the card from portrait to landscape. My candy canes are cut from design space and Cricut Access.

Here is a look at the Challenge #50 Sketch.

For my card I changed the orientation from portrait to landscape. I believe my pattern paper is from a 6 X 6 a Recollection paper pad I bought 2 or 3 years ago.

I sure hope you will play along the us with the Sketch Challenge as well as enter your projects for the Linky Party. Thanks for stopping by. See you again soon.
