First stamp is "Time to be Grateful". This stamp is just so cute! LOVE the girl - she's so cute, don't you think? I colored her with Copic markers and added some shine with Spectrum Noir sparkle brush markers. For the pink hearts, I used distress oxide inks with Unity's "Love Confetti" stencil. 

Yes, let us remind ourselves to be grateful and count our blessings today. Treasure this time to rest and spend time with your family. :)

***

Next up is "Quarantine Dream". This stamp is SO CUTE, I kinda wished they had a version with dogs. Nonetheless, this is super cute and YESSSS, this is indeed a stamp perfect for all the pet owners out there. I am certain our pets (or fur kids) are so happy at this time because they are with us every single day. 

I colored the stamp with copic markers and added some Nuvo jewel drops. For the background, I used Unity + Deco Foil toner card front  "Floral background" with some distress oxide inks to create a rainbow background.

***

Next up is "There will be Sunshine". YESSSS. Don't lose faith. Don't give up. Today may be tough, but there will be sunshine (and a rainbow too!). I colored this up with copic markers but added some glittery shine to their dresses with sakura jelly roll moonlight pens. These markers are just amazing! 

***

And finally, "Faith not fear" is just perfect for this season. Let us encourage one another at this difficult time and let us continue to hold on to our faiths and that things will be better soon.

I colored her with my Tombow markers and added some Nuvo drops for the dimension. For the background I used a WRMK embossing folder to create the diamond effect.

So, whilst we can stay at home, let us forget about our worries and color away! :)

Stay healthy, safe and happy.

Happy weekend.

Happy March!

For the first card I made, I wanted to create something different and was inspired by one of Jennifer Mcguire's videos. Since the new "I shall not want" stamp by Unity Stamp - Graciellie Designs is pretty large, I decided to do a fold card. The stamp will act like the "flaps" to open up the card, to reveal the sentiment inside. Loving the bible verse!

I colored the flowers with Jane Davenport watercolors, then tied the flowers together with some Trendy Twine "Krazy for Kraft" and also added some Nuvo dream drops at the corners of the card.

For the next card, this stamp is also by Graciellie Designs called "Family Love". I am totally obsessed with this orchid stamp! I colored it with Tombow markers and added a die cut background using Thermoweb decofoil flock transfer sheet. It is so fuzzy irl! This is a fun way to incorporate the flock sheets into your card.

For my final card, I am in love with this "Like a Lotus" set, I wanted to make the lotus float on the water. So to create the water swirls, I used some Tonic Studios nuvo drops in 3 different colors and finishes. This is a super easy technique but it creates some dimension and depth to your card :)

Happy GOOD Friday. 

Today is indeed a beautiful Friday, as we remember Jesus who died for us on the cross to give us eternal life.

For my first card, I am using the new Cuddlebug Dragon. I feel that if you're a Game of Thrones (GOT) or How to Train your Dragon fan, this would be perfect for you! It's cute and not overly scary. 

I stamped the dragon on my new Strathmore Toned Gray paper and colored it in using Prismacolor colored pencils. What's great about using pre-colored paper, is that I didn't need to color in the entire image! Plus, the paper has these really cool fibers in it that adds interest to the card.

For my next card, I used the new Cuddlebug Sea Turtles; which are just so darn cute! Every cuddlebug is just so much fun. So, as you can see, I had lots of white space to fill up and instead of coloring in the space, I dotted small dots with my Tombow dual brush marker pens. You could use any markers that you have for this technique. Just a fun way to color in your image.

The new Cuddlebug Otter is also just SO CUTE, I made some water swirls for him to swim in :)

I used my Tonic Studios Nuvo drops (jewel, glitter, crystal) to just swirl the colors in. Really easy peezy!

This brand new "Gardenia Floral Border" kit by Graciellie is just perfect for Bible journaling. I stamped it on some vellum, then colored/blended it using my Tombow markers. What I love bout these markers are the colors are very vibrant, although they are water-based markers. Psssttt, these stamps would be great for home decors, cards, scrapbooking ... The possibilities are endless!

Oh oh! If you love the Cuddlebug series by Tierra Jackson, she has some new ones this week! Here is the Cuddlebug Caterpillar, which kinda reminded me of the caterpillar form Alice in Wonderland. So... I doodled in the mushroom beneath him (Yups, I drew that and you can too!) and watercolored it in.

And here's another cute one by Tierra Jackson, the Cuddlebug Bee. I created some honeycomb for him using the Tim Holtz Sizzix alterations framework. LOVE this die! I die cut the different inserts from patterned paper and holographic cardstock but you can even use this die to cut even glass sheets!

Need a quick card? I created this with the "Happy Moments" kit by Graciellie and some new colors of Dylusions Ink Sprays.  Just a few spritzes and done! :) I also added some gold metallic shimmer with Spectrum Noir sparkle pen.

And since Easter is coming soon, here's a cute bunny set called "Good Days" by Tierra Jackson with cute chickies! :) I know how intimidating CAS cards are because of all the white space, so I just added some sequins for the border to give it some color.  Worried on coordinating the colors of your sequins? Just get the ready-mixed packs offered by many companies out there now. Easy peezy! I am using the Easter Egg Hunt sequin mix by Kat Scrappiness.

And I did mention a FREEBIE right? Here's the beautiful stamp called "Done in Love". It's so pretty!

I did an ombre glitter background using the Nuvo Glimmer Paste. It's like butter, just spread it on and let it dry. PSsttttt, it dries really quick too! No need to wait for hours, just a few minutes! Then I created a frame using the Never Ending Rectangle die by Kat Scrappiness from white cardstock using nesting dies so that it will not cover up all the glitter beauty :)

Hope you enjoyed all the videos and do show me what you made over at the Facebook Unity {show & tell} group. For all the new stamps, you can shop HERE.

Have a fabulous weekend!

First card I made is using the "Her Day" kit, which you will get for FREE when you spend $75 during this birthday sale. Seriously, this is just SO pretty I won't think twice of wanting it! I colored the stamp in using Copic markers then I die cut it using my Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fancy Scalloped Rectangle die.

Then, I absolutely love the flowers on the cake and so I thought it'd be pretty to add some paper flowers I hoarded kept over the years :) I also added some Nuvo Glitter drop "White blizzard". 

Phyllis Harris also has some new stamps in this birthday release and this one is called "Realize". I used my Adornit watercolors and water brushes to paint this scenery in. Do remember to stamp your image on some watercolor paper so that it's easier to blend in all your colors. Yes, it does help! :)

I cut the watercolor paper using the Kat Scrappiness Double Stitched Rectangle die to give it a little interest with the stitched border.

Next is this cute little snail from the May 2017 Sentiment kit "Happy Snail Mail". I wanted to try something different and fun, so I used my favorite Nuvo Drops to color the entire image in! :) I love that it gives this stained-glass effect and also dimension to my card.

For my next card, I am SO SO loving this giraffe stamp "Finally Here" by Tierra Jackson, coz seriously, her drawing is just AMAZING! Who wouldn't like these cute giraffes? I colored them in using my Tombow dual brush markers and then added Tim Holtz frosted film on my card front to give it a nice subtle glittery shimmery finish. I then cut it using Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Stitched Nested Rectangle die, before adhering it to the card.

For my final card (awwwww), I am using the "Special Bond" kit, which is actually drawn from a photo of Whitney and Angela together. How very cool is that right?

For this card, I grabbed some scrap papers laying around (don't we have tons of those?) and just turn it into a card! Adding a paper clip and I am done :)

So, let's get on with the SALES!!

It's 50% storewide ** so just go start shopping at wwww.unitystampco.com!
