For my first card, I used the new Unity + Deco Foil toner card fronts: Flowers Devine. Did you know that you can watercolor on these toner card fronts? I used Prima Marketing pastel dreams watercolors and once I am done coloring, it is time to add the foil! I used Thermoweb Deco Foil gold with my Heidi Swapp mini minc machine. Since the negative of the foiling is too pretty, I made another card with it. For the sentiments I used: Unity Stamp Whitkit Feb 2020 & Unity Stamp Sentiment kit Jan 2020.

For my next card, I used the Unity + Deco Foil toner card fronts : Circles a plenty as the background for my home scene. I stamped the sofa & photo frame from the Unity Stamp Kit of the Month Jan 2020. I colored that with copic markers and added some corrugated cardstock as the carpet. For the foiling, I kept it simple by just adding some Thermoweb Deco Foil Amber watercolor.

For my next card, I used the Unity + Deco Foil toner card fronts: Butterfly fly away. Because it is so pretty, I HAD to use the Thermoweb Deco Foil rainbow shattered glass. It is SO pretty as well! :)

Because the foil is so colorful already, I used some Unity Stamp Krafty Season paper pad to add the sentiments from the Unity Stamp Sentiment kit Feb 2020. I also added some Tonic Studios nuvo glitter drops Silver Crystal. Again, because the negative was so pretty, I made a second card with it. Don't let it go to waste!

Now, to some other awesome Thermoweb products. If you do not know yet, Unity Stamp came out with some new stencils: All kinds of Love & Heart Confetti. I mixed some glitter and inks to the stencils using: Thermoweb Gina K Glitz glitter gel [bubblegum] & Hero Arts white unicorn ink.  The cute deer is from the Unity Stamp Woodland Cuteness.

And for my final card, I made my own custom colored Thermoweb Metallix Gel [white pearl], by mixing some Tim Holtz distress oxide ink. Here, I used Wilted Violet to create a soft pastel purple . If you want a brighter shade, just add more ink. I used the metallix gel with the Unity Stamp stencil: All kinds of love. The beautiful cross and sentiment is from the Unity Stamp My Soul Finds Rest.

Hope all these cards inspire you and hope you have an awesome week ahead.

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!

For my first card, I wanted to create a rustic but colorful Christmas card using the wreath from Warmth of Christmas kit by Graciellie Designs. I colored it with Prismacolor colored pencils then tied it with some Trendy Twine "Peppermint Icicle" little bits.

For the background, I used Sweadda Weadda by Brutus Monroe, embossed it with some white embossing powder then spritzed it with some Ranger Dylusion ink sprays.

For my next holiday card, I wanted to create a really sparkly glittery card using the Holiday Hello by Tierra Jackson. So I cut out the stamp using a snowglobe die - if you don't have one, don't worry! Just use a circle die and cut off the ends OR cover it with some Prima snowflake paste, that looks like glittery snow when it is dried. I also used some Simon Says Stamp glitter cardstock and also added lots of pretty Cinderella Unity sequins.

For my final card, I wanted to create a fun background for the beautiful sentiment from the Joyous Comfort kit by Ann Butler. So I spritzed lots of Nuvo shimmer powders onto some watercolor cardstock, then added a subtle pattern with my Tim Holtz stencil using some Gina K glitz glitter gel. If you wanted a more "popping" design, you could always use a brighter color :)

Have a happy World Card Making Day (or week) and happy shopping :)

For my first card, this beautiful tropical set is by Gracillie Design called "Time to refresh". I colored the hibiscus and leaves with Jane Davenport's mermaid markers and fussy cut them.

For the background, I used Gansai Tambi starry colors watercolors to add some gold accents. To add even more gold, I grabbed my favorite Glitteriffic paint and created a gold glitter border. Then just layer the flowers and leaves at the bottom and it is done! :)

For this card, I used the HUGE Unity Stamp "Nine Lives" stamp - if you are a cat lover, this stamp is for you!

For the background, I embossed Unity Stamp Brutus Monroe "Spilled Paint" with clear embossing powder on some watercolor cardstock. Then it's time to do a tie dye background using Prima marketing water soluble oil pastels. Love how it blends so easily with water!

For a bright sunny card, I used Unity Stamp "Hello Sunshine Girl" and Unity Stamp Brutus Monroe "Floral Tapestry" for the background. Using some Memento Luxe Inks to ink up the stamp on Strathmore tan toned paper, the colors just pop right off the paper!

And for my last card of the day, I used the freebie for this week - Unity Stamp "Adventure to the bright side". I love this cute campervan!

So, I wanted to create a scene for this card and I grabbed some of my background stamps. Psssttt, did you know that you can use your background stamps for non-backgrounds? Haha. I first colored the whole card, then used Unity Stamp Brutus Monroe "Hit the brick" and Unity Stamp Brutus Monroe "Vintage burlap" for the wall and the ground.

Then just add some Unity Stamp sequins and Trendy Twine "Strawberry Cupcake", and my card is done!

Hope you have a fabulous week ahead and happy shopping! :)

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

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.

For my first card, I used the "Everblooming" set which is this really nice garden seed packet image and a beautiful floral stamp. I just couldn't help myself by turning this into a shaker card, with all my pretty Unity Stamp sequins [Aurora & Ariel]. I also painted the card with my new Prima metallic watercolors, it's so shiny in real life!

For my next card I used the "Good Vibes" set, which is the cute caravan. Super cute! Reminded me of my holiday in New Zealand in a campervan. I was hoping I get to see some aurora skies there, but unfortunately did not. So, here I created my own using my new Nuvo Shimmer Powders [Catherine Wheel & Atlantis Burst]. Just spritz some water and sprinkle on the powders! EASY!

Wedding season is here and this set "From This Day Forward" is just perfect! I LOVE that the set comes with floral stamps as well. I just got my Jane Davenport napkins in the mail and I just had to incorporate it into my card, so I did - as the background here. I colored the whole card with some pretty unconventional wedding colors, coz it seems like the trend these days :)

This set "Happiness is Homemade" is awesome for summer, just looking at it makes me want to drink a cold glass of lemonade! :) I colored it with my Copic markers and glossy up the whole mason jar with Nuvo crystal glaze. Then I added the Unity Stamp Aurora Borealis Confetti Sequin mix to make it look like bubbles.

For my last card for today, I used the set "Hope this Grows", with all this cute veggies. I colored it with Copics and then used Nuvo Shimmer Powder [Storm Cloud] to paint in my background. Yups! You can paint with these powders :) Then I stamped the sentiment from the "New Season, New Wonder" set on some vellum.
