For my next card, this granny from the "Demand a Recount" kit by Tierra Jackson is just so precious, don't you think? The sentiments in this kit is just hillarious. I added the granny to the front of the "Cafe Delights" kit by Angie Blom. Love love LOVE this cafe stamp, you can use any stamp to just create a scene with it.

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! :)

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 used "Cake Time" by Graciellie Design. So sweet right? LOVE this cake!

I colored it with Copic markers, then inked up the background with Tim Holtz distress oxide inks. For the background I added some Brutus Monroe Glitter Glaze "Unicorn Horn" using Newton's Nook Design "Confetti" stencil. If you see the glitter in real, it is so shiny!

Next is another huge stamp called "Cupcake Day". If you love cupcakes, this is a yummy stamp for you, just don't eat it :) I colored it with lots of sparkly Spectrum Noir brush markers, and added - Nuvo glitter drops.

For the background, I took a stamp from the set"Colorful day" and inked it up with some metallic Delicata ink, and stamped it on some black cardstock. It adds to the effect when you are stamping on black.

Now for some cuddlebugs!

I stamped and colored this cute "Cuddlebug Horse" with my Copic markers. For the background, I wanted to do something fun by creating some crayon resist magic.  I first drew in the pattern using Jane davenport paint over pen "unicorn" (white ink) then colored the background using some American crafts gel crayons. It's kinda like a trick we learned when we were kids haha :)

Here's another cute cuddlebug for ya! I colored the "Cuddlebug Ladybug" with Copic markers and decided to do something fun for the background.  I took the caps off my Dylusions Ink + Heidi Swapp mist and started doodling! Yups, the caps :)

Then I added Nuvo drops to her wings and glittered up the border of my card using Spectrum Noir brush marker.

And finally, this beauty called "Cuddlebug Fawn". I used my Tim Holtz distress paints to paint her in. If you've never painted with these before, it's like watercolors, just more opaque. If you wanted a looser-less-opaque feel, just add more water. For the background, I stamped the kit "Strawberry Fields" and colored it with Copic markers. I am absolutely obsessed over this stamp!

Have an awesome Easter weekend everybody :)

Every month, Unity Stamp has a sentiment kit realeased and this month's kit [April 2019] is called : "Don't give up".  I am loving the floral and "washi tape" stamp. You could do so many cards with this one stamp alone!

For my card, I just did a simple rainbow coloring for the flowers using my Colleen colored pencils, I got them from my local stationary store - so you do not need expensive colored pencils to make your cards if you do not have the budget. Just make your cards with any supplies that you have and if you have the budget to get the premium ones, why not right? :)

For my next card, this beautiful stamp "Joy and Brighter days" by Tierra Jackson is brand new and it's just perfect for spring! I colored the wagon and flowers with Copic makers and die cut it to make it look like a large postage stamp.

Now, it's time for the fun part! I embossed my background with Stampendous Stamp n Bond sticky embossing powder and Brutus Monroe "Barn Wall" stamp.  Then I mixed both the Prima Marketing Foil & Nuvo gilding flakes together and wa-lah! I also inked up the background with some Tim Holtz distress oxide inks with my makeup blending brush.

Next is this beautiful Unity Stamp called "Migration of Beauty" by Angie Blom. I mean, like seriously. HOW pretty is this stamp? It fills up the entire card so easily, so if you're into mass producing cards for an event, this stamp would be perfect!

I painted in the whole card using rainbow colors (of coz!) with my Altenew Watercolors. It's easy to use this set as you do not need to mix any colors coz everything is already in the pan. Great for lazy people like me :) The sentiment is from the Unity Stamp "I am with you" Sentiment kit Oct 2018.

For this card, I first stamped the butterflies on a white cardstock from the "Moments of bliss" kit by Graciellie Designs. Then I sprinkled on some Nuvo Shimmer powders and let it do its magic. Once it is dried, I fussy cut the butterflies and pop them up on glue dots so that the wings appear to be flying.

For the background, I used Unity Stamp "Love in the background" stamp with my Altenew dye inks to create a gradient effect. This stamp is awesome to create your own unique custom background.

And finally, it's time for an easy card! :)

I first stamped the beautiful Unity Stamp "Feelings matter" and colored it with Copic markers. Then I inked up the entire background using Tim Holtz distress oxide inks.

Now it's time to bling up the card using Unity Stamp sequins "Cinderella" & "Aurora Borealis" and my trusty ol' Thermoweb iCraft Mixed Media adhesive. I love how it is simple, yet it adds so much to the card.

I hope you've enjoyed all the cards and techniques. Leave a comment below to let me know which is your favorite! :)

Have an awesome weekend.
