For my first card, I am using "Shiloh Girl" and I wanted to create a zen looking background for her - so I decided to use something different: tissue papers! You know how some Asian stores/homes has those string/beaded curtains? Well - that was what I was going for. I paired the tissue papers with the "Pink & Blue watercolored" paper by Unity Stamp.

Next up is this new "Knitwear" stamp set -  I love all the winter holiday clothings in this set! I wanted to make as though it is hanging out in the laundry to dry, so I used some Trendy Twine to make that happen. I also added some paper flowers to all the knitwear, so it would look more festive (and I had these flowers forever, so it was time to use them up! Oops). For the background, I also used some Unity Stamp papers - they are just so beautiful, don't you think?

This new Phyllis Harris stamp set "Special to me" is so cute, I am just going "awwwwwww".... I colored her with some Copics and fussy cut around her before adding some beautiful Unity Stamp papers from the "Coffee Lovers" pack. OBSESSED!

And finally, this cutie snowman from the "All the small things" set with all the cute birdies - Gosh, what else need I say? I had to create a framed shaker card for this little guy, using the Avery Elle framed die and silver metallic paper. I added lots and lots of sequins and glitter and there you go - and easy shaker card! If you made a boo boo like me, no worries - just grab some Nuvo glitter drops and add some onto the border - and it's all ready to go! :)

Time to shop? Go to Unity Stamp for all the deals and steals!

For my first card, I wanted to try something different so I combined a shadow box with a shaker card. I used Unity Stamp Entanglement border background stamp and colored it with - Jane Davenport watercolors. Then I adhered the Unity Stamp Little Boos cuties with some foam adhesive to pop them up! 

So, because I popped them up, this means my shaker window needs to be popped up too. I added 4 layers of foam adhesive to create the shadow box. I cut the silver glitter foam frame out using Kat Scrappiness nesting rectangle die and filled it up with Kat Scrappiness Boo Who sequins and Pretty Pink Posh beads.

I think this would be fun not just as a card, but also as a decor for your Halloween party :)

Next up is this cute Unity Stamp Lisa Glanz Salutation Toad kit. I wanted to give him a fun holographic background so I covered the Unity Stamp Brutus Monroe Heart Swirls with some WOW embossing silver glitter powder. To add more bling, I used my new Tonic Studios Nuvo Dream Drops and just created some random drops in the swirls.

And for my last card for the day, it's another cute one by Unity Stamp Lisa Glanz Snailed it. To create the fun background for the snails, I first inked up the background with Tim Holtz distress oxide inks. Then I added some Decofoil transfer gel using TCW stencils. Once the gel is dried, I ran some Decofoil flock transfer sheets through my Heidi Swapp mini minc machine. I also added some pebbles using the new Tonic Studios nuvo stone drops. They feel just like stone!

So I hope I "snailed it" today with the cards and you do too with the sales. Happy shopping! :)

Happy 11th Birthday Unity Stamp!

For my first card, I used the new Lisa Glanz "Hoppy and Hedgie" set. These critters are so cute, don't you think? I colored them with Copic markers, then it's time to ink up the background using some Tim Holtz distress oxide ink [tumbled glass] and blended it with my makeup blending brush.

Then, it's time to add some foil to the balloons WITHOUT using a laminator. I used my favorite Thermoweb decofoil [rainbow shattered glass, sparkling silver] and with my Zig 2 way glue pen. Just apply the adhesive, let it dry for a few seconds before you apply the foil.

Since it's birthday week, OF COZ there will be a cute birthday stamp :)

Here is the brand new Unity Stamp "Happy Birthday to you", which I colored with some pastel rainbow Copic markers. 

To create this very easy slider card, I cut the slit using the Lawn Fawn Slide on Over die, applied some foam tape to a coin and it's that easy! :)

For my next card, I used the Unity Stamp "Grow and Change" and colored her and the flowers with Copic markers. Then I wanted to do some partial embossing using Unity Stamp Brutus Monroe "Sweadda Weadda". Love how "festive" stamps can also be used on non-holiday cards :) 

I first masked my card using Thermoweb purple tape, then embossed the stamp with Versamark embossing ink and some clear embossing powder. Then it's time to ink it up! I used Tim Holtz distress oxide inks [cracked pistachio, peacock feathers, wilted violet] and a makeup blending brush.

For my next card, I wanted to give Unity Stamp "Pretty Girl Smile" a spotlight effect to just focus on her. So I created the spotlight with Thermoweb purple tape and lots of yummy Tim Holtz distress oxide inks [squeezed lemonade, weathered wood, iced spruce, hickory smoke, black soot]. I also stamped the sides using Unity Stamp "Just a little clicky". It's an oldie but goodie stamp :)

And since Mother's Day is almost here, this new Unity Stamp "Best part of me" is just perfect for the day. I colored it with Copic markers then created an easy shaker card using a rectangle Kat Scrappiness nesting die, laminate, foam tape and lots of beautiful Unity Stamp sequins.

Hope you enjoyed the cards and videos.

For my first card, I stamped the "Every Leaf Speaks Bliss" on some Strathmore Toned Tan paper (kraft) then painted it in using Holbein gouache paints. I love these paints because you can control how opaque it will look on your paper. The more water you add, the more translucent it will be (like watercolors) and the lesser water you add, it will be opaque. I also added some Unity Stamp Aurora sequins to bling it up :)

Next, this cute kit "It's Your Day Panda" is just wayyy adorable. I stamped and colored in using some Copics then added the Avery Alle Wonky Scalloped Frame. Since I am obsessed with Unity Stamp sequins, I added a whole bunch of them on the border using my Thermoweb Mixed Media adhesive. Just alternate the different sizes to create more interest.

And for my final card, I stamped and colored the "Be the light" kit with Copics, creating that candle glow. Then I die cut my front piece using MFT Stamps Bold Stripes cover up die,  placed lots of foam adhesive on the back to prep it for my shaker card.

Then it's time for the fun part! I added lots of American Crafts WOW glitter, in rainbow colors. What I love about these glitters are, it comes not only with different colors but also differnt particle sizes. Of coz, you can use whatever glitters that you have!

For my first card, I colored "Emerson Girl" with Copic markers (she's so pretty!). Angie Blom always comes up with so many new Angie Girls!

Next, it's time for some rainbow oxide hearts! This card is inspired by Kelly Latevola [Link to her video HERE]

I painted my rainbow hearts using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks [Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet]. It is so much easier than it looks! :) Oh and I added Unity Stamp sequins [Cinderella] to my card. LOVE Unity sequins.

Next up is the "Unique" kit by Tierra Jackson. This could be turned into a Christmas card but I made it into a non-holiday card with all the odd colored scarves and mittens (Well, the kit is called Unique, right? *haha*). I stamped it on Strathmore tan paper (you could use kraft paper too) and colored it with some Prismacolor. This way, the colors will really POP! I then die cut some gold glitter foam with Avery Elle Wonky Scallop Frames.

And now, for all the holiday Christmas cards! It's never too early to make them right?

I love this sweet snowman from the "Always Had My Heart" kit with that cute bunny rabbit. I turned this card into a snowglobe shaker card with some pretty Unity Stamp sequins "Cinderella" and "Moonshine". The sentiment is from the " Special Winter Friends" kit.

Next up is another Angie Girl by Angie Blom, called the "Caitlin Girl".  LOVE her!! I colored her with Copic markers. For the background, I wanted to add some shimmer and glitter without the mess. So I used my awesome Gina K Foil-Mates [Blizzard] and foiled it with some Thermoweb Decofoil Silver Shattered Glass. Just check out how pretty it turned out! No glittery mess!

My next Christmas card, I wanted some non-traditional holiday colors, so I chose some pastel colors. I stamped and colored the snowman from the "Winter Special Friends" kit with some Copic markers. Then, I added the pink frame, which I die cut with the Avery Elle Oval Burst die. Then I added some Kat Scrappiness sequins - Summer Breeze and Snowflake Kisses.

Next is this awesome truck from the "Christmas Magic" by Tierra Jackson. I colored it with Copic markers, and wanted to create a snowy background for it. So I used my Tim Holtz distress resist spray along with Tim Holtz distress oxide inks. Just check out my video, on how I made this card! :)

And for my final card, another Christmas card using the "Star Bright" kit. Seriously, who could resist a cute snowman? I inked up the background using Tim Holtz distress oxide inks and created the star burst effect using Tim Holtz stencil and Hero Arts white pigment ink "Unicorn". Of coz I also added some awesome Unity Stamp sequins too.
