I am starting off with this beautiful mermaid stamp called "Salina Girl". I used my Paper Fashion gouache watercolor to paint her in.  Gouache are like watercolor, but just more opaque. But if you wanted a loose watercolor feel I did, just add more water :) I also needed to add some shine to her hair so I used the Paper Fashion liquid metal and added some Nuvo glitter drops too.

The next girl is called "Rosa Girl" -  I love how sexy and beautiful she is! I colored her with copic markers and gave her a red hot dress :) I also grabbed some patterned papers from the "Autumn Dream" Unity Stamp paper pack and decorated it with some white paper flowers.

Are you a Cuddlebug fan? Well, here's a new one! If you wanted a giraffe, now is the time you get it :) It's back to basics for this card, I just did some really easy peezy watercolor painting with some Altenew watercolors. If I can do it, you can do it too :) I finished off the card by layering some patterned papers and tied it up with some Trendy Twine.

It is wedding season again, and this new set called "And all the things" is just perfect for all occasions! I wanted glam, glitz and all things glitter, so I made an all-gold card :) I painted the Mr & Mrs with gansai tambi starry colors and added Viva Decor glitter on the "&". I also added a dotted border with some Nuvo dream drops and finished it off by adding the Simon Says Stamp "love bouquet" die.

And for the final card for this post, I used the "A girl. A bunny" stamp set - which I am so obsessed with!! It is way way cute, don't you think? I wanted to create an easter egg wreath - so, I stamped out all the eggs, leave and sentiment on a white cardstock - then used Zig clean color markers to color all of them in. This would be great if you do not have any colored inks. All you need is just a black ink and some marker pens :)

I hope these cards inspire you. Do go shop at Unity Stamp because all of the new stamps (and stencils) are just way awesome :) Have a fabulous week ahead.

It's a new week and we have NEW stamps from Unity Stamp. 

If you see, there is a theme for this week - red and gold! NO, I did not plan this. Just so happened all cards turned out this way :)

I have NEW videos for you too, if you'd like to see any specific techniques - please leave your comment and I will take them into consideration. 

Now let's get started!

For my first card, the red truck is from the "Bountiful Haul" kit which I colored with Copic markers. I wanted to create my own "patterned paper" so I used the "Obsessed with Floral" kit (which fits on my entire card!) and embossed it with some Ranger gold embossing powder.

My next card features this beautiful butterfly from the "Life Should Be" kit. I am obsessed with it!!  Don't you think it's so pretty? I colored it with my Prismacolor colored pencils, then added the gold detailing with my 18kt Krylon gold leafing pen. This thing is sooooo shiny in real life!!

And for my final card, a new Angie Girl called "Tulia Girl". I know I say this all the time, but this has got to be my favorite!! Just look at the wonderful flowers, her hair, her clothes.. wow! I colored it all in using Copic markers, and added some shimmer to her top with Spectrum Noir metallic pen. Then I added the little hearts from the "Planner Gal kit: Unity Unies" with Altenew inks.

You can shop for all this awesome stamps HERE.

Here is a card I made using the new Phyllis Harris stamp "Simple Places". Don't you think this is just SO so sweet?? LOVE it!

I colored the background using Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. I first wanted to create an aurora sky, but had to much fun and made a psychedelic background instead! *oopsie*

Then I die cut the piece using one of my favorite dies, the Gina Marie Designs Stitched Wonky die.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend and do drop by to say HI to me (@scrappyscrappy_) if you're also on Instagram.

For my first card, I am using the NEW stamp set by Susan Weckesser "Patience & Hugs" -- which has these super cute characters in it. Like seriously, aren't they just adorable? I colored them with my Copic markers then I embossed the beautiful stamp from Jolande & Marleen kit "Hello Beautiful". Pssttt, the secret of not getting your embossing powder sticking to places you don't want to? Try prepping your surface with the EK Success Powder Tool first. :)

For my next card, I wanted to use something most of us have in our scrappy rooms --- colored pens! I stamped the NEW Susan Weckesser kit "Happy Happy Joy Joy", die cut it using Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Stitched Nested Rectangle die, then used my Gelly Roll Souffle pens to color the images in. Who says you need expensive craft supplies to make a card. :)

My OH My.. Have you seen the new mail art stamps in the store? This NEW set by Tierra Jackson "Dilly-Dallyer {Envelope Art}" has got to be one of my favorites. SO so cool to stamp your envelopes with and make your own mail art. Psssttt, I also made my own DIY envelope using the WRMK Envelope Punch Board and also did some hand lettering using the Pentel Fude Touch pen.

Since I made my envelope out of kraft paper, I used my Colleen colored pencils to color it in and the images pop right up!

Have you checked out the NEW Planner Gal stamps by Angie Blom? These stamps are not just perfect for your planners but also to make cards with! Here are 2 brand NEW Planner Gal stamps I used "Today" and "You got this".

I first stamped my planner gal onto a rectangle cardstock, then die cut my faux photo frame using Kat Scrappiness Double Stitched Oval die, then inked the photo frame using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide [Vintage Photo]. For the gal, I colored her with Copic markers then added lots of Tim Holtz Distress Stickle [Clear rock candy] with Thermoweb Mixed Media Adhesive. Glitter always make everything so pretty! :)

And for my last card for today, I used the FREEBIE: "Melon One" stamp and stamped it multiple times on my card. Then I die cut it using Kat Scrappiness Double Stitched Rectangle die. I then got my Zig Clean Color Real brush pens and colored in the melons, purposely leaving only ONE melon bright red :)

So hope you enjoy all the inspiration, NEW stamps and VIDEOS.

So, first up, I stamped the image on some white cardstock then die cut it out using the Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Stitched Rectangle die. Then it's time to start painting!

Did you know that the Nuvo Mousse can be used as watercolors because they are water-based? I just scraped some onto my craft mat, spritzed it with some water -- and I got myself some DIY metallic watercolors! I then used my Adornit waterbrush and just started painting. Oh oh!! And psssttt, you can also mix colors to make your own unique colors. :)

I then finished up the card by adding some Nuvo Jewel Drop - Sea Breeze and Nuvo Glitter Drop - White Blizzard

Did you like this quick little technique? Let me know in the comments and hope you have a fantastic week ahead!

Happy 1st of July my scrappy friends :)

For my first card, I am using the BRAND NEW Planner Gal: Be a Beauty -- which is SO SO Pretty, don't you think? I stamped then colored her with my Prima watercolors [Pastel Dream]. I decided to do some partial embossing using my Tim Holtz Sizzix embossing folder [Texture Fades] and then colored it using my pretty Nuvo Mousse [Peony Pink, Aquamarine and Indian Gold] by just using my fingers. It is so metallic and shiny in real life!

 Then I decided to use my Kuretake Gansai Tambi [starry colors] watercolor and just paint the entire card in GOLD! Coz seriously, who doesn't like Gold? :) 

These watercolors are just pure heaven! SO SO shiny and metallic.

Psssttt, did you know that all the sentiment kits are on sale this weekend?

Here's a card I made using the brand NEW July 2017 Sentiment Kit: Hugs, Kisses & Birthday Wishes -- just check out how cute the owl is with all the balloons!

I colored him in using my Copic markers, then I decided to add some glitter to the balloons using Tim Holtz distress stickles dry glitter [Clear Rock Candy]. This glitter is just AMAZING!!! It is so glittery, and looks like sugar frosting on a cupcake. I used the Thermoweb iCraft mixed media adhesive to apply the glitter onto my card.

And for my final card, I used the NEW Planner Gal: Love Them stamp and colored her in with Copic markers. For the background, I was totally inspired by all the bible journaling ladies out there -- I had to try it out for myself too! I used an old gift card (you can use a credit card, a membership card... any card!) with some Tim Holtz distress paints [Wild honey, Spun Sugar, Mustard Seed, Cracked Pistachio]. I just scraped the paints onto my card and wa-la!! :)

So, here are some details on the SALE and NEW stamps at Unity Stamp
