{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 19 - Christmas Lights

Happy Sunday folks!  This is my first "set" of cards with the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch 19 - for February 2022.  This design is perfect for a two-fer!

I cut both pieces of printed paper down to the same size, and then cut them at an angle at the same time.  That way the angles are exactly the same, and I can mix the pieces up to get two cards.


Be sure to check out the BYSH Cardmakers blog for this month's sketch AND LOTS of other samples, and link to the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group.  There is an album in their Facebook group that you can post your own creations in every month, and get your chance at a prize!  There are weekly blog posts with MORE ideas, so check the BYSHC blog often!

For these cards, I used Evening Evergreen and Basic Black as my main colors.  Notice how I alternated the card base/layer colors between them.

Then it was a matter of gold-embossing the christmas bulbs on the left-over bits of the patterned paper, and hand-cutting them.  NOTE:  I got this pack of Christmas paper as a free gift with purchase - I can't remember if it was scrapbook.com or simon says stamp.  It was a long time ago, and it doesn't help that there is no name on the packaging.


Greeting for both is stamped in Evening Evergreen, and then punched out with the Classic Label punch.


I finished off both cards with some Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots that I've had in my stash for a long time.  I think the colors are Real Red and Garden Green.

Here's a look at the sketch provided by Crystal Minkler:
