More {BYSHC} Challenge #65 Cards

I have more cards using the January Build Your Stash Holiday Cards Sketch #65.

I love using the same sketch and trying to create different styles.

This card features one of my Christmas presents to myself--Pink & Main's Cozy Critters stamp & die set as well as paper from the Merry & Bright pad. I used Newton's Nook Designs' Framework die.

Additional Challenges for this card:

Cut It Up Challenge #346-Anything Goes

This card features a very old paper pad--Holly Jolly by My Mind's Eye. One of the pages had this vintage Santa that I decided to showcase. The little tree was created using a free mini die by Newton's Nook Designs.

Additional Challenges:

Merry, Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas by Debbie showcases products by Unity and Pajama Crafter Stamps, and Newton's Nook Designs; #cardmaking, #indys_designs, #cardchallenge, #holidaycards

I am already getting cards ready for 2026. For this card, I used papers by Pajama Crafter Stamps-Taupe Tidings using the sketch by The Friends of Unity December Mood Board. I also used the Merry Christmas Treeline stamp by Unity. To add some sparkly, I added a silver scallop-edged circle (Newton's Nook Designs-Circle Frames die set). To add some texture, I added a bit of twine.

Thanks for stopping by and best wishes for a happy New Year!

Debbie

Friends of Unity Mood Board Challenge

Debbie's winter card features Falling Snow Toner Card Front, Cheerful Bliss Glitter, Snow Flurries, Let It Snow, Bookmark, Frames & Flags, Holiday Postage Sampler, and Snowfall by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #nndstamps, #nndpaper, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #wintercard, #snowycards

I love purples, so I used the lavendar glitter paper from the Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortmen and paired it with the snowy paper from the Snow Flurries paper pad. I die cut these using the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set. I then used the snow flake paper from the Falling Snow Toner Card Front with silver foil. Once foiled, I distressed with pink. I cut this panel using the Bookmark die set. The bookmark was a bit long, so I die cut again shortening it. I then used the Let It Snow die. I used vellum and lavendar cardstock. While adhering, I inadvertently messed up a bit on the bookmark, so I adhered a silver snowflake using the Snowfall die set. My last touch was adding the snow globe from the Holiday Postage Sampler stamp set. I loved the idea of a snow globe on a snowy card base!

Now's it your turn. What will you create this month?

Inky Paws Challenge #247 Week 2

Inky Paws Challenge

Week 2 Inspiration

The holidays are upon us, and this month we are asking for some Holiday Sparkle & Shine on your Newton's Nook Projects for winter, Christmas, and even New Year!

Debbie's snowy card features Snowman Postage Sampler, Land Borders, Basic Frames, Cheerful Brights Glitter, Essential Tags, and Basic Frames by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmakingideas, #cardchallenge, #holidaycards, #nndstamps, #nndpapers, #wintercards, #snowmancards, #snowycards

I can't seem to get enough of these little snow people from the Snowman Postage Sampler stamp set. This week, I've created a playful wintery scene. I used the Basic Frames die set to create the window from the pink cardstock. I then added the blue glitter paper from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment and pulled white glitter paper from my stash which I die cut using the Land Borders die set. I die cut some snow flakes using the Snowfall die set. I modified the tag created using the Essential Tags die set for my sentiment. I placed all my snow people using some 3D foam tape. I love the bright blue against the pink!

Now's it your turn. What will you create this month?
