Happy New Year! 

I cannot believe that it is already 2020. 

A BIG Thank YOU for all your love, kindness and support. Here's wishing you a fabulous year ahead and may all your dreams & heart's desires be met.

This week we are also celebrating Angela - our fearless leader's birthday! So, let us all go wish her a HAPPY Birthday and time to shop some brand new stamps for this year.

For the first card, it is dedicated to Angela using the "Hip Hip Hooray" stamp set. I wanted to create a fun background for this card, so I doodled some designs with the Thermoweb Decofoil adhesive pen - which then I can add the Thermoweb Decofoil rainbow shattered glass foil to the card without using a laminator. This is a cool way to add some foil to your card and creating some unique patterns. 

Pro Tip: If you want a more opaque look, doodle with the pen in smaller portions then add the foil. This way, the glue will not dry out too fast. If you prefer a more sketchy look like mine - please watch the video :)

For the next card, I used the "Old Ways" kit which is this really cool retro vintage phone. Who else remembers these? :)

I stamped it all over my background, then used Tim Holtz distress crayons to color everything in. If you want a more opaque look, just color directly. If you want a softer look, add water to it. And if you want a complete watercolor look, scribble some of the crayon onto an acrylic block and use your waterbrush to color.

And for my final card of the day, I used the Tierra Jackson "They Built A Life" kit - which I colored with some Copic markers. Isn't the old couple just so precious? I decided to "frame" it all up using the Avery Elle frame die. For the background, I used the Unity Stamp SMAK April 2019 kit and distress oxide inks.

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! :)

For my first card, I am going for my signature rainbow look with this new stamp "Being There" by Phyllis Harris. I used the "Rainbow Vibes" Unity Stamp paper for the background and added a rainbow (literally! haha) using the MFT stamps dies. I colored it using some Altenew watercolors for the dreamy look.

Time is flying like crazy now and Christmas is just a month away now, so it's time for some holiday card. I LOVE this new stamp "Blessed Baby" by Angie Blom - it is just so beautiful! I colored the nativity scene with Gansai Tambi watercolors and also added some pearlescent watercolor to add some shine to it. I also die cut a frame using Kat Scrappiness nesting rectangle die to just frame the card. I feel that with with this simple addition, it does make a difference - don't you think?

For the next holiday card, I used the "Scenic Route" by Tierra Jackson - I absolutely LOVE this kombi! Reminds me of Scooby Doo's mystery machine. Since the sentiment said "scenic route", so I painted an aurora sky with Jane Davenport watercolors and added some Cinderella Unity Stamp sequins.

And finally, this cutie from the "Happy Winter Gnome" kit by Angie Blom - I created the background using Unity Stamp's Holiday Intrigue papers and Lawn Fawn's cloud dies. I also added some Nuvo drops to the sky for the extra bling.

It is here!!

For my first card, it's "The Owl & the Moon" and he is SO cute! Love how he's just sitting on the moon (hehe). So, of coz I had to create a starry galaxy background for him - using some Tim Holtz distress oxide inks. Then I decided to go a little extra and add on some shiny gold stars using Thermoweb Decofoil Metallix Gel and a star stencil. The stencil pal made it so easy to spread the paste across the stencil.

You know that recently Unity Stamp released lots of brand new papers right? Here's one from the Rustic winter wishes. I decided to stamp the Unity Stamp Layers of Life (LOL) Nov 2017 kit on the paper, then ink it with some Tim Holtz distress inks to ground the trees. Then I added some snowy drops with Nuvo crystal drops.  The beauty is a brand new stamp called "Make it happen girl".

For my first card, I used this beautiful Unity Stamp "Angel of trust". Isn't she just lovely? I stamped her on some Strathmore toned tan paper and colored her up using my Prismacolor colored pencils. I love how the colors look so vibrant on kraft paper! A very very simple and easy card to make. Simply stamp and color :)

Next up is  the Unity Stamp "Sienna Girl". She looked so cool to me, I had to create a cool background to match her. I first inked up the background using Tim Holtz distress oxide inks, then stamped some strips using the Unity Stamp Ann Butler stamps. Then it's time to emboss with Tim Holtz stencil and some WOW embossing powder.

Next is the lovely Unity Stamp "Jess Girl". You know how I love my rainbows - so I lined up all my Tim Holtz alcohol pearl inks and just went rainbow-nuts with them. Trick to blend these inks is to use some Yupo paper and alcohol blending solution. I also used the Tim Holtz spritzer (which blows air) to move my inks around. You could also use a straw. Then I punched lots of butterflies out using my Martha Stewart butterfly punch and just adhered them across my card to create some dimension.

And finally, I made a card using the cuties from the Unity Stamp "Holiday Helpers". Since there is a boy/girl version - I had to use them both! So I created a simple spinner card using some Trendy Twine Christmas mint and decorated the card with Unity Stamp sequins and Unity Stamp Red Christmas paper pack.

Have an awesome November month and happy shopping :)
