Happy May!

The past few months had been crazy to say the least. With lockdowns, quarantines, social distancing -  it is all our new "normal". The current state of the world really changed the way we do things everyday, but hey - let's just stay positive, keep calm and craft on! :) I hope you are safe and healthy too.

Unity Stamp has a BIG red rubber release today because it is their BIRTHDAY ! 

Happy birthday Unity Stamp! 

I have made a few cards with it the new releases but .. 

Unfortunately, I do not have the step-by-step videos this time, but do feel free to watch my previous videos on my Youtube channel (TheScrappyScrappy) and if you like, do click SUBSCRIBE.

I am also on Instagram @scrappyscrappy_ - come say hello :)

So, if you're just into sentiments - this new kit called "Having Hope" is perfect for you. I paired the sentiment with the Unity Thermoweb toner card front "Heart Trees" - which I have watercolored it first then foiled it with some gold DecoFoil.

***

Next card, again using the same sentiment kit - I embossed the background with "Get lost in the stars" stamp set with Brutus Monroe gilded sparkle embossing powder. Then I inked it up with Tim Holtz distress oxide inks and splattered some white ink to create stars.

***

Next up are TWO brand new stamp sets called "A Faithful Letter {scripty background}" and "One of those people". I absolutely loved how these two sets can compliment one another. I kept the background plain (just black and white) because I wanted the flowers to pop! I colored the flowers with copic markers and tried mixing colors together to get the extra pop.

***

And finally, "Possible Not Easy" is this cute stamp with flowers and a frame. I added some Unity Stamp papers in the background and also some Glitterific paint for that extra bling.

Hope you are inspired and if you're interested to get any of these stamps, just head on over to Unity Stamp  and shop your heart out. 

Happy weekend! :)

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.

Happy June!

So, because it is June, it is time for a BRAND NEW Sentiment kit. *woot woot*!

June 2019 Sentiment Kit "Bird's the Word" is just too cute, love the birdie! I colored it with Copic markers and also added some clear Wink of Stella glitter. Then it's time to create the background with some thin washi tapes. You can use any tapes you have - just have fun and go to the park with them!

Next is this cute Unity Stamp Tierra Jackson "Little Bubbles". I just got my - Thermoweb decofoil flock transfer sheets in the mail (I purchased them from Unity Stamp HERE), so of coz I had to try them out. I didn't use any fancy tools or machine here, just some good ol' - Thermoweb XL adhesive tape. I did some wavy strips and just added the flock to it, pressing it down using a brayer. OH MY.. seriously. The flock is so fuzzy, you got to go try them! I also added some Unity Stamp sequins "Aurora Borealis" coz they looked like bubbles too.

Next up is the new Unity Stamp "Roger Guy". I wanted to make a masculine card for this, coz he is so manly! (if that makes sense, haha!). So I grabbed my black - Thermoweb decofoil flock transfer sheet and ran it through my Sizzix Big Shot with my - Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations "Cracked" embossing folder. The effect came out so cool! If you wanted a subtle look, you can leave it as it is. I wanted the cracked effect to show up more, so I dabbed some Versamagic "aloe vera" chalk ink on the embossed surface.

I also wanted to add an image to his t-shirt, so I grabbed the ship from the Unity Stamp "Other side of fear", masked it with some Thermoweb purple tape and it was so easy to stamp!

Recently, Unity Stamp has been coming out with such fun border backgrounds. This new one, called Citrus Medley is just another fun and fresh stamp. I first created the alcohol ink background using some Copic marker refills and Ranger alcohol blending solution, along with my Simon Says Stamp yupo paper. YUPS, you can use your refills! Once the background is done (and dried), I stamped the border background and also added the "Thank You" sentiment from the Unity Stamp Dec 2018 Sentiment kit "Special wishes" using some gold embossing powder on some vellum.

Here's another new border background stamp called "Hot Mess". This is a perfect stamp for the coffee and tea lovers! I colored the stamp with some Copic markers. Then, to create 2 cards with just 1 stamp, I simply sliced the piece into two at a diagonal angle! :) I added some patterned paper and thin washi tape. The sentiments are from the Unity Stamp "Sweet, Warm, Whipped" set.

So, what are you waiting for? It's time to SHOP shop SHOP! :)

For my first card, I used the new "Sweetness" kit which is SOOO pretty, right? I colored them with Copic markers and added some glitter with Spectrum Noir metallic pens. Then it's time to do some ink smooshing!

I know some of us (I do too!) have issues with ink blending and getting everything to look smooth, so this technique would help. Just grab a transparency/plastic packaging, smoosh some inks on it (I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks - Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick, Shaded Lilac & Picked Raspberry), spritz some water on it and SMOOSH! Yups, that simple :) I also added my all-time-favorite Unity Stamp Cinderella sequins

For my second card, I used the "Stay Strong" kit with this beautiful coffee cup. I added the flower and heart (also from the same kit) to the cup; which I colored with Copic markers. Now it's time for the Galaxy Sky! 

I used the Nuvo Shimmer Powder [Violet Brocade and Atlantis Burst] and added Unity Stamp Ariel sequins. Watch the video and you'll be surprised how easy it can be with these powders :)

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.

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".
