{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 56 ~ Hipster Christmas ~ Jaded Blossom

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with one last card for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 56 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing another cute holiday card featuring a fun stamp from our wonderful Sponsor, Jaded Blossom.

I inked up the cute Santa from the Hipster Christmas Stamp Set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and I colored him up with Copic markers. Isn't he just too fun and cute?! I love this stamp!

Here's a quick list of the Copics I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E51, E04

Hair: C00, C2, C3

Hat: R20, R14, R27, C00, C2, C3, N0, N2, N4, N6

Glasses: R20, R14, R27

I paired him up with the Winter Cabin 6x6 Paper Collection from Brutus Monroe. These papers have a lumberjack vibe and I thought they were fun to use with this hipster Santa.

I wanted to add a little layer between Santa and the paper but I didn't want to cover up the paper too much so I went with vellum card stock. I die cut a scrap piece using a circle die from the X Stitched Circle dies from Gina Marie Designs.

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 56 for the month of April. There's just a few days left to enter the challenge that ends on April 30th!

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 56 ~ Snowman Dies ~ Jaded Blossom

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with a little inspiration for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 56 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing another sweet holiday card featuring an adorable die from our fabulous Sponsor, Jaded Blossom.

I die cut all of the fun pieces for the Snowman Dies from Jaded Blossom. Here's a list of the card stock I used to build the snowman: Stampers Select White card stock, Kraft card stock, True Black card stock, Prairie Grass card stock, Orange Zest card stock, and Berry Sorbet card stock from Papertrey Ink. I also used Soft Sky card stock from Stampin' Up.

I paired up the adorable snowman with the lovely papers from the Sugar Plum 6x6 Paper Pad from My Mind's Eye. The background panel measures 4-1/4 x 5-1/2". The scene paper measures 1-3/4 x 5-1/2" on the left and 1-1/4 x 2-3/8" for the right top piece and 1-1/4 x 2-15/16". The striped paper measures 3-1/4 x 5-1/2". I adhered all of my layers to a white A2 top fold card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Village: Post Office stamp set, also from Jaded Blossom. Sadly, it's a retired set. I thought about stamping it on vanilla card stock but chose white so that the snowman wasn't the only white on the card. What do you think? Should I have done vanilla card stock?

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 56 ~ Christmas Sugar Cookies ~ Jaded Blossom

Hello there crafty friend!

It's time for a new sketch challenge over in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a cute Christmas card featuring an adorable stamp from our wonderful Sponsor, Jaded Blossom! Jaded Blossom has generously offered up a $25 gift card as a prize for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 56 this month! So wonderful!!

I inked up the super cute reindeer cookie from the Christmas Sugar Cookies Stamp Set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it up with Copic markers. I also stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Village: Post Office.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Brown: E51, E23, E25

Tan: E51, E23

Antlers: E51, E23, E25, E27

Nose: R20, R14, R27

Eyes: N4, N8

I paired up the sweet stamp with the Gentle Winter 6x6 Paper Pack from Ink N' Splatter. I die cut a scrap of vellum using a die from the Big and Little Pierced Chain Circle from Gina Marie Designs. I adhered the sweet reindeer to the vellum and then I added foam tape to the back of the reindeer to add some dimension to the card. 

I also popped up the sentiment using foam tape. I kept this card pretty simple. A few enamel dots or maybe snowflakes would make it a bit more snazzy but I like it simple.
