Hi Crafty Friends,
If you join us at BYSHcardmakers, you'll be staying ahead of the holiday card making game.It's time for our next challenge ~ April Sketch #68Here's my first design team make for the month. You'll find the sketch at the bottom of the post.

To create the background, I used Jaded Blossoms Rectangle Strip Cardmat die and then cut apart the strips to create the spaces. I also used JB's stitched and scalloped circle dies. I used Echo Park Winter 6x6 paper pad for the patterned papers and the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.

Here's the sketch for your inspiration.  Be sure to link your project to folder #68 in our Facebook Group HERE.

Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers ~ Sketch Challenge #48

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I'm sharing my second DT card for BYSH challenge #48. 

This sketch is great for those of you who love stripes.

Here's my card.

The papers are from Echo Park and the snowflake is an older die from a company no longer in business.  I also used Jaded Blossom Stitched Circle dies and a JB sentiment which I heat embossed.

And, here's the sketch. 

You can link your project to the Sketch #48 folder on our Facebook page HERE.

And, you can find more DT inspiration on our BYSH blog linked above.

Come play along, there's lots of time left this month.

Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers ~ Sketch Challenge #34

Hi Crafty Friends,
We have a fun new sketch for you at {BYSH}.  You have the entire month to enter our FaceBook Challenge.  It's such a great way to be ahead for your holiday card making.

I didn't use any stamps or die cuts for this card.  I just used some amazing patterned papers from an Echo Park 6 x 6 paper pad.  This sketch is perfect for making multiples.  If you're using 12 x 12 card stock, you can get 4 card mats out of one piece.  And, so many companies now include a page of cut apart images.

I hope you'll play along and upload your interpretation of this sketch to

 our FaceBook page HERE.

I encourage you to check out our FB page for lots of inspiration and a folder full of sketches to help get your creative juices flowing.
