For my first card, I wanted to use the Gina K Designs wreath builder template along with my stamping platform to build a wreath using the brand new Unity Stamp Ann Butler Background Builders {Strips-Set 1} & {Strips-Set 2}. With the template, it was so easy to create a unique-customized background. I just cut my cardstock into 4x4 and stamped random designs & colors using Memento dye inks. I also have a nifty trick on how you can add your sentiments without messing up.  I used the Unity Stamp Sept 2018 Sentiment kit "Everything comes full turn".

Just watch my video to see how easy it was!

For my next card, I wanted to create a quick card so I stamped the strips with some Tim Holtz distress oxide inks and used a stamping platform to help. If you don't have one, no worries! Stamping the usual way is also a-okay :)

For the sentiment I used the Unity Stamp May 2018 Sentiment kit "Say it Big" and inked it up with some embossing ink & WOW embossing Ultra high gold powders to create the dimension. Then I went crazy with Gansai tambi starry colors watercolors and a paint brush to create the splatters.

And for my last card, I wanted to create a fun plaid pattern. You can always google or pinterest for some color combinations or just stamp randomly to create your very own background. I used just one stamp from the Unity Stamp Ann Butler Background Builders {Strips-Set} and stamped free hand with some Memento dye inks. It's not perfect but hey, it's quick and fun :) 

For the sentiment, I used Unity Stamp Oct 2018 Sentiment kit "I am with you" and Versafine clair ink for that crisp stamping.

So, hope you are inspired by these cards today and go shop at Unity Stamp today :)
