For my first card, this beautiful dragonfly is from the "Hope & Strength" kit. I colored it with my Spectrum Noir sparkle markers to give it that extra bling. For the background, I used alcohol inks to create the blend of colors. It is so fun to play with - but do make sure you're in a well ventilated room :)

***

The next card is this beautiful bird from the "Do not Worry" kit. I colored it with Jane Davenport mermaid markers and the Bible verse is just perfect! For the background, I wanted to try something fun with my new Tim Holtz distress embossing glaze. I first used some Fiber Paste with my TCW stencil, then while it is still wet, I poured a mix of the embossing glaze --- then I heat it up! If you look at the next photo, you can see that the paste is kinda bubbled up but still glazy. This is a fun way to add colors and texture to your card!

***

This next card is using the new "Humble Places" kit, she is so so beautiful don't you think? To continue on with my Tim Holtz distress embossing glaze craze (that rhymed!) - I first colored the scene with Copic markers - then I used the Tim Holtz distress embossing pen to color in just her dress. When it is still sticky - pour the glaze over it, then heat it up! YUPSSSS, it is that simple and so much fun. Just look at how glossy and glazy it is! :)

I also added some punched out butterflies using the Martha Stewart punch and the patterned paper is from Unity Stamp.

***

And finally, this beautiful sweet girl is from the "Happiness by Choice". I cannot get over how sweet she is just sitting amongst the flowers. *obsessed*!!! I just did a simple watercoloring because when the image is so pretty - you really don't need to do much (IMHO). 

So, there are my cards for this week. I hope you are healthy and safe during this time - and if you want to get any of this stamps, head on over to Unity Stamp.

Happy weekend!

Happy February.

Another new month into the new year and another week for some awesome new stamps with Unity Stamp

First up is the new "Not Sick of You" stamp set by Tierra Jackson. Aren't they just so cute? I colored them with Copic markers and I wanted to create a nice cute cafe scene for them. I used the Unity Stamp set "Love in the background" and embossed it with some Zing embossing powders. I used two different powders here, and if you're extra creative - you can also use more! I finished the card by creating a photo frame with the sentiment by adding Nuvo stone drops and Avery Elle frame die.

Next up is the new "Together We're Better" by Phyllis Harris. I absolutely adore this stamp set! I wanted that to be the focus so I just added some dreamy pink clouds with some Tim Holtz distress oxide inks. Also added some Brittany Lee lolly pink sequin mix for the sky, coz you know how I love the added bling :)

Finally, I also love this new "More than Beautiful" stamp set. I colored it with Copic markers and decided to do a fun background for this card. I inked up the Dear Lizzy Serendipity stencil with Tim Holtz distress oxide ink on a colored cardstock. It gives a really different feel whe you're inking it on a white cardstock. I finished it off with some Nuvo drops and Trendy Twine "Strawberry Cupcake".

Hope you are inspired and do shop your heart out! :)

For my first card, I used the awesome stamp set "KOALA-TY friends". I absolutely love this set for all the cute graphics and beautiful sentiments. I wanted to create a fun background for the flying koala bear, so I grabbed my Simon Says Stamp "leafy frame" stencil and inked it up with lots of my favorite Tim Holtz distress oxide inks. Do watch the video to see how I get the different colors on my background. I also added some Nuvo dream drops on the leaves to look like water dew drops :)

For my next card, again I grabbed the "KOALA-TY friends" stamp set and stamped out a whole bunch of images from this set and fussy cut all of them. I also cut out two wreaths with white cardstock using MFT Stamps "Joyful wreath" die. I colored the wreaths with Altenew watercolors to match my Unity Stamp Graciellie Design "Pink & Blue watercolored" patterned paper. I did paint some gesso on the paper so that the focal point would be the cute koalas. The sentiment is from the "Cuddlebug Koala" set.

And finally, this cute koala from the "Cuddlebug Koala" set. I die cut the cardstock using Gina Marie's rectangle scallop die, then colored the entire image in using Copic markers. I wanted to add a rainbow behind the koala, so I decided to grab my Nuvo Jewel Drops and just had fun with it! SO EASY to make this card - easy peezy :)

I hope you will lend a hand and help Australia by getting some beautiful stamps this week. Thank YOU so much from the bottom of all our hearts.

For my first card, it's "The Owl & the Moon" and he is SO cute! Love how he's just sitting on the moon (hehe). So, of coz I had to create a starry galaxy background for him - using some Tim Holtz distress oxide inks. Then I decided to go a little extra and add on some shiny gold stars using Thermoweb Decofoil Metallix Gel and a star stencil. The stencil pal made it so easy to spread the paste across the stencil.

You know that recently Unity Stamp released lots of brand new papers right? Here's one from the Rustic winter wishes. I decided to stamp the Unity Stamp Layers of Life (LOL) Nov 2017 kit on the paper, then ink it with some Tim Holtz distress inks to ground the trees. Then I added some snowy drops with Nuvo crystal drops.  The beauty is a brand new stamp called "Make it happen girl".

And finally, this cutie snowman is from Unity Stamp "Stay Warm" kit. I had to create a winter night sky for him, using some Jane Davenport watercolors. Watch the video to see how easy you can paint this scene too! :)

For my first card, I used this beautiful Unity Stamp "Angel of trust". Isn't she just lovely? I stamped her on some Strathmore toned tan paper and colored her up using my Prismacolor colored pencils. I love how the colors look so vibrant on kraft paper! A very very simple and easy card to make. Simply stamp and color :)

Next up is  the Unity Stamp "Sienna Girl". She looked so cool to me, I had to create a cool background to match her. I first inked up the background using Tim Holtz distress oxide inks, then stamped some strips using the Unity Stamp Ann Butler stamps. Then it's time to emboss with Tim Holtz stencil and some WOW embossing powder.

Next is the lovely Unity Stamp "Jess Girl". You know how I love my rainbows - so I lined up all my Tim Holtz alcohol pearl inks and just went rainbow-nuts with them. Trick to blend these inks is to use some Yupo paper and alcohol blending solution. I also used the Tim Holtz spritzer (which blows air) to move my inks around. You could also use a straw. Then I punched lots of butterflies out using my Martha Stewart butterfly punch and just adhered them across my card to create some dimension.

And finally, I made a card using the cuties from the Unity Stamp "Holiday Helpers". Since there is a boy/girl version - I had to use them both! So I created a simple spinner card using some Trendy Twine Christmas mint and decorated the card with Unity Stamp sequins and Unity Stamp Red Christmas paper pack.

Have an awesome November month and happy shopping :)

It's October, but it's never too early to start making some Christmas cards for your loved ones (before it reaches the 11th hour *haha*)

For my first card, you know how I LOVEEEE my rainbows and glitters, so this is just an "Angeline card" :) For the background, I am using the Unity Stamp Brutus Monroe background stamp "Freshly Cut" and I embossed it with some Stampendous Stamp n Bond embossing powders. Then I grabbed my favorite Decofoil rainbow shattered foil to foil it up. If you didn't notice, I made a boo boo and the trees kinda looked over-foiled. Honest trust, I almost trashed the card, but I thought, hey,.... my mess can be called art :) So, I added the Unity Stamp Ann Butler sentiment from her kit "More sparkle, less stress" and kept the card. Let's see who will be the lucky one to receive this :)

Next, I wanted to just create - you know what I mean? Sometimes, we often times just keep using the same supplies over and over again. So, this time, I challenged my self and just took out a bunch of my supplies (some was in my stash for years!) and see what I could just make. The focal point of my card would be Unity Stamp Ann Butler sentiment from the kit "More sparkle, less stress" - so I placed that inside a frame, which I had painted with some metallic paint. Then, I just added Tim Holtz collage paper [aviary], Prima flowers and added some bling with some Nuvo glitter drops. I think it turned out very different from the cards I usually make.

And now for some cutesie card - this "Santa and the Mrs" stamp by Unity Stamp Tierra Jackson is so darn cute!! I colored it with copic markers and die cut it using Kat Scrappiness square postage stamp die. Then I used the BRAND NEW papers by Unity Stamp Gracillie Design for my background and added some Trendy Twine to tie it all together. I absolutely LOVE these new papers, they are just so pretty! They are 6x6, glossy finish cardstock and you can get them at Unity Stamp.

Now, for another cutie - this cute elf is from the "Joy and Blessings" kit by Unity Stamp Angie Blom. I wanted to create a Christmasy scene for him so I did it using Tim Holtz stencils (mini set 21), distress oxide inks and added some Thermoweb Gina K Designs glitz glitter gel (white).

And finally, this cute couple from the "Deck the Halls" kit by Unity Stamp Angie Blom. I wanted to create a fun background for them, since the stamp is huge and almost filling up the entire card, I didn't want the background to be too crazy. So I got my alcohol inks and yupo paper, and added a final touch to it using my Tim Holtz frosted film for that added sparkle. This would be great for those who loves glitter but don't want it sticking to you or everything else around you :)

So, that is it from me today. I hope you've been inspired to start making some Christmas cards and of coz, don't forget to go shop at Unity Stamp.

Happy weekend!
