BYSH Cardmakers February Sketch #66 Challenge

 


Another month, another new sketch challenge has started over at BYSH Cardmakers. Here's a peek at the sketch so you can play along with us.

I followed the sketch closely for my card. I used pattern paper from an older paper pad from my stash. I used some wavy circle dies from Scrapbook.com to cut my circles out of some rustic red and white cardstock for my image. My cute little hedgehog is from a rubon set also from Scrapbook.com. I just thought he was so cute. My sentiment is from a Waffle Flower sentiment stamp set. I stamped it in Versamark ink on a scrap of the rustic red cardstock and heat embossed it with some white detail embossing powder.

I appreciate you stopping by. I hope you will head on over to the BYSH Cardmakers blog for more inspiration from the design team. Then head on over to our Facebook Group to share your project using this month's sketch. Hope to see you there.

BYSH Cardmakers January Sketch #65 Challenge Project 2




I'm back today with my second project for this month's BYSH Cardmakers January Sketch Challenge. Here is a look at the sketch.

My project today features pattern paper from the 6" X 6" Poinsettia Garden paper pad from  Paper Rose. I used the sketch for the measurements for the pattern paper. I had my Cricut Maker 4 cut my pattern paper strips to ensure accuracy and a straight cut. I am a bit challenged in that area. 😊

My poinsettia is cut from white glitter cardstock using the two smallest dies from the Taylored Expressions Garden Variety Poinsettia dies. I used some amber colored rhinestones for my flower center.

My sentiment is from the Taylored Expressions Mini Strip Stamps - Holiday 2 red rubber stamp and die cut using the matching Mini Strips Cutting Die.

I appreciate you stopping by today. There is still a few hours to join in the challenge. Please visit  the BYSH Cardmakers blog for more design team inspiration. Then pop on over to our Facebook Group to submit your project using Sketch #65.

The green strips on the card are from a Scrapbook.com 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" paper pad. My sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp Christmas sentiment set tht I stamped on a scrap of the green cardstock with some Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and die cut with the matching die.

BYSH Cardmakers December Sketch Challenge #64

 


It's hard to believe we've made it through another year and we are back in December again. That was fast. It also means there is a new challenge over at the BYSH Cardmakers blog. Sketch #64, the last Sketch Challenge for 2025. Let's take a look at the Sketch.


Here is my first project utilizing the sketch.






My cardbase is a standard 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" A2 heavy duty white cardstock.  My pattern papers are from my scrap bin. The chipboard stickers are from my stash. I attached everything to the front of my card with liquid adhesive. I used my Cricut to cut out my pattern papers to match the sizes on the sketch. This one was a lot of fun to play with.

I appreciate your visit today. I hope you will hop on over to the BYSH Cardmakers blog to check out more inspiration from the design team. Then head over to our Facebook Group and share a picture of your project using Sketch #64.
