BYSH Cardmakers Spring into Christmas Linky Party Kickoff

Today is the kickoff of our BYSH Cardmakers Spring into Christmas April 2026 Linky Party. My project for the kickoff features pattern papers from the Doodlebug Designs Oh What Fun 6" X 8" paper pad. I used foam tape to adhere the two pattern papers together. I used some Gina K. Designs Connect glue to adhere the focal image to the middle of the aeched opening. The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions Mini Strip Seamps - Holiday 2 and die cut with the Mini Strips Die. Both Gina K. and Taylored Expressions are just two of our many wonderful sponsors for our Linky Party. 

I appreciate your visit today. Now, I hope you will head over to the BYSH Cardmakers blog and check out all the inspiration offered up by the rest of the Design Team, find out about the rest of our great sponsors, and see a list of the prizes you will have a chance to win when you link up a holiday card project.

Welcome back. I'm back with my second project for the March Sketch #67 Challenge over at BYSH Cardmakers. Time is short but you can still post your picture of your card made using Sketch #67 in our Facebook group. Here is a look at the sketch.

The pattern paper I used on my projrct is from an older 6" X 6"  Echo Park paper pad in my stash. I finished my project with some clear confetti discs with two down the left side of the card panel, and three along the bottom right.

I hope you will head to the BYSH Cardmakers blog to check out the rest of the design team inspiration then head to our Facebook group to add your project.

BYSH Cardmakers Sketch #67 March Challenge

 

Hi everyone. I'm back with my first project for the BYSH Cardmakers March Sketch #67 challenge. Here is a look at the sketch.

I can't wait to show you my project. I think my little penguin is so cute.

I kept my card fairly simple while following the sketch. My pattern papers are from Doodlebug Designs Oh What Fun paper pad. My penguin image is from a Gina K. Designs stamp set, I colored him with some Ohuhu Markers after stamping him. I then die cut hin out using the matching dies. I added him to my square using a bit of foam tape.

My sentiment stamp is from a Waffle Flower stamp set. I used a sentiment die from my stash to cut it out. The sentiment Is adhered directly to the card front with liquid adhesive. I added some little clay white snowflake elements from an embellishment pack in my stash.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Now, I hope you will head on over to the BYSH Cardmakers blog to check out the rest of the inspiration by the design team, then head on over to our Facebook group and submit your project utilizing this month's sketch.

I'll be back soon with my other project using the March sketch. Until next time.

BYSH Cardmakers February Sketch Challenge #66 2nd Project

 

I'm back with my second project for the BYSH Cardmakers Sketch #66 Challenge using this month's sketch.

For my project today I started with some white dotted gold pattern paper cut tu 4" X 5 1/4".  For my focal image, I used a stamp from a Simon Says Stamp card kit that was released just a few month's ago. I stamped the image twice on white cardstock using some Simon Says Stamp soft navy ink.  I used the coordinating die to cut out the village portion pf the image and adhered it directly over the one stamped on the first panel with some 1mm foam tape.

Before adhering the diecut village to the main image, I used the coordinating stencil yo add a light coating of some Tim Holtz sparkling grit paste that I lightly sprinkled with some Rock Candy glitter. Once dried I then adhered it to the main panel.

I then adhered my stamped panel to my cardbase. I stamped my sentiment with that same soft navy ink onto a scrap of the gold pattern paper. I used the ink pad to lightly ink the edges of my sentiment to help it stand out from the background. I popped the sentiment up with a foam strip. To finish the card I added some navy blue sparkles in the upper right hand corner.

While tomorrow is the last day to play along with this challenge, a new one will be starting March 1st. Watch for inspiration projects on the BYSH Cardmakers blog. You can enter your last minute projects on our Facebook group. Thanks for stopping by.

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.
