Howdy mate! :)

It's a special stamp launch today with Jessica Lynn Original stamps and it's all about Down Under - Australia (and New Zealand). Check out the stamp set HERE. 

I LOVEEEEEE this stamp set coz I've been to both Australia and New Zealand before and I LOVE it there! Their animals are so unique too (and cute!). So if you're a fan, this stamp set is made for you.

Here are some cards I made using this set!

I colored all of my cards with Copic markers and made them pretty simple to highlight the animals :)

Here are the close ups of each card.

Now... head on over to the JessicaLynnOriginal Blog and see what else everyone has cooked up for you this week!  Do leave a comment on each blog because there will be a winner chosen to win this cute stamp set!

Hi Unity friends :)

It's time to do a BIG BLOG HOP with all the pretty Unity DT chicks 

and..

I have NEW cards and VIDEOS for you!

So it's not July (or December yet!) but here are some early Christmas cards I made!

I made this card using Eve Girl -- which I have colored her in with my Copic markers. Then I inked the background with some Tim Holtz distress ink {Broken China}.

To create my glitter snow paste, I used Golden's Fiber Paste with Tim Holtz "splatters" stencil -- and then I sprinkled the paste while it was still wet with some Diamond Sugar dust glitter.

And ta-da! 

I made my very own glitter snow paste. :)

For my next Christmas card, I wanted to try something fun!

First I stamped the cute bird from the Cool Little Christmas  kit and colored him in with Copic markers. Then for the Christmas ornament, I carefully cut out the insides with a blade (DO BE CAREFUL!!) and used that part as my shaker element!

Do watch the video above on how I made the shaker part :)

***

And for my final card, it's some watercolor magic time!

I am using Peyton Girl ---which I think this stamp is SOOO beautiful --- and colored just the flowers in with my Kuretake Clean Color Real brush pens.

For the background, I used the Molotow masking fluid pen to draw out the motif and then painting it over with my Gansai Tambi gold watercolor paint.

I also added some liquid pearls with Viva Decor's paper pen in Gold.

Happy Monday.

I am sharing my DT post over at the SVG Attic Blog --  an interactive slider card I made using CG Under the Sea kit.

This set is AMAZING and Cyndy did such a great job creating this kit. 

Interactive cards are THE trend right now and this card is just PERFECT to go wild with your imagination.

I gave the diver a funky cool looking suit to swim under the sea with all the pretty sea creatures.

Oh, and he says "Hi there"! :)

I inked up the corals with some distress inks for some soft blend of colors and added glitter to the bubbles too.

I inked up the flowers using VersaMagic chalk inks and mixed the colors before stamping. What I love about chalk inks is -- the colors are so pretty and it does mimic the watercolor painting feel.

And BONUS feature is -- the ink stays wet for a while so I was able to even emboss my butterfly partially! :) 

So, do try it out for yourself and show me what you made in our Facebook Unity {show & tell} group.

Have a wonderful day and DON'T be afraid to TRY new things :)

Happy mid week! 

It's almost the weekend and it's time for another Inspiration Time on The Cutting Cafe blog with the Design Team.

This week we are SUPER SIZING our projects -- making it BIG and NICE! :)

I made this cute tutu glitter card using the All About Girls printable stamp set.

I SUPER SIZED and printed the colored ballerina tutu dress to fit my 4" x 6" card and glittered it up using Tim Holtz's Distress Glitters in Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Pumice Stone.

For the background I mixed a few of the words included in this printable stamp set and made it all pinky pink :)

I also added some Viva Decor paper pen liquid pearls in pink for some extra interest.

Here's a close up of the cute tutu dress -- in all its glitzy glitter!

Do stop by The Cutting Cafe shop and check out all the awesome files!!

Happy weekend :)

The cute bunny and sentiment is from the JLO Hoppy Easter Chicken Rabbit Egg set. The other sentiments are from Mommy Lhey and Love Cynthia stamps.

Happy Monday!

It's wedding season and I made a box card for my Design Team post at the SVG Attic blog.

I took the Tulip Bloom box card from JGW Beautiful Bloom kit and added some elements from the Classic Wedding kit. I resized the tuxedo, wedding gown and wedding arch to fit into the card :) 

I always LOVE how easily you can mix-and-match SVG Attic kits.

For the sentiment, I used a stamp by Unity Stamp and gold embossed it. The papers are from DCWV Happy Day stack.

Happy mid-week!

It's Inspiration Time at The Cutting Cafe blog and the Design Team are all using the "You Color my World" printable set.

I chose this cool swirly background stamp for my card, which I have colored in with my Copics.

The mermaid and underwater elements are from Love Cynthia stamps "Just keep swimming" -- which I paired in with the beautiful sentiment also from The Cutting Cafe kit.

Do go to The Cutting Cafe blog to check out the rest of the DT's creations for more inspiration! :)

Happy July!! 

WOW. Where did all the time go?

6 months has passed by..

AND...

Lookie lookie.. Guess who is on the JessicaLynnOriginal Design Team?

So besides new Design Team members, we have NEW stamps!!

***

So here are my samples for my Christmas in July cards using all the NEW Christmas stamps.

I have colored in the Christmas Goat with my Copic markers and fussy cut him. I then painted in the background with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors.  I was trying to paint some Christmas pine trees --- at least I think it looks like it :) Tee Hee! 

Then I stamped the Unity Stamp sentiment and embossed it in gold.

***

Next, I made a Shaker Card!

*shake it .. shake it...*

I colored in Sydney Penguin as the adorable reindeer with my Copic markers and then filled up the shaker with some Diamond Sugar Dust as snow.

Then I used DCWV Christmas paper stacks "Hand painted Christmas" and "The magic of Christmas" for the papers that also had glitter on it, plus the beautiful sentiment.

***

And for my final card, it's Scrooge!! :)

I used Scrooge Brentwood Owl -- which I also colored in with my Copic markers, for my wobble card. The sentiment and stars are stamps from Mommy Lhey's "Big Brush Christmas".

To see Brentwood in his wobbly action, do visit my Instagram page and keep a lookout!

***

And here's a BONUS card!

Jessica is so awesome and she made another Brentwood stamp --- It's Brentwood Owl ABC!

I colored Brentwood with my Copic markers and did some liquid pearls with my Viva Decor pen.

Don't you think he is so CUTE??? :)

Now... head on over to the JessicaLynnOriginal Blog and see what else everyone has cooked up for you this week!  And be sure to stop back between now and the 4th because there is lots more!

So, here's my first card using PMS Peggy (hehe!)

I absolutely LOVE this image. So so vintage and classic! I can imagine this stamp being used in many many cards.

The sentiment is really REAL and TRUE for some of us. So, I'm sure this will be a great stamp for some Sorry cards ;)

I created the circle spotlight with a DIY mask and Tim Holtz distress inks [spun sugar, scattered straw, shaded lilac]

***

For my next card is this cute cactus stamp "You Prick"!

Another sorry card which is again very REAL with the sentiment.

I colored the cactus with my Copic markers and then created the background brick wall with Tim Holtz distress inks [pumice stone, frayed burlap, vintage photo] and The Crafter's workshop brick stencil. Why I chose 3 different shades of brown is so that it will create some depth, shadows and make it look more realistic ;)

***

My next card is using the NEW Phyllis Harris Stamp "Be Present"

Somehow this image reminds me of Belle in Beauty and the Beast :)

I painted the rose garden and colored her in with my Peerless watercolors.  

Watercolors are pretty fun to use and try out. I took the risk in painting those leaves and roses in .... and it turned out OK! :)

***

For my next card, it is also another Phyllis Harris stamp called "Substance of Things".

I painted in a sunset scene using the Prima water soluble Oil Pastels --- which are great and act like a watercolor :) Psssstttt... I LOVE the Bible Verse as a sentiment.

***

Who needs a fairy godmother in their life? *hands up*!

I colored the "Your Fairy Godmother" stamp in with my Copic markers then bedazzled her dress with some Thermoweb Deco Foil using their Lilac foil + Adhesive pen along with The Crafter's workshop Mini Daisies stencil.

Seriously, this adhesive pen is AMAZING and so EASY to use!

The matte enamel dots are from Freckled Fawn.

***

And for my final card... something that I wanted to try for the longest time... A Penny Slider card!

Seriously..... HOW SUPER CUTE is this kit? Susan Weckesser's "Unicorns & Rainbows" is definitely going to be a BIG HIT!

Since I do not have any dies to create a slider card, I DIY my own!! :) Do watch my VIDEO on how I made it.
