First up is the new "Not Sick of You" stamp set by Tierra Jackson. Aren't they just so cute? I colored them with Copic markers and I wanted to create a nice cute cafe scene for them. I used the Unity Stamp set "Love in the background" and embossed it with some Zing embossing powders. I used two different powders here, and if you're extra creative - you can also use more! I finished the card by creating a photo frame with the sentiment by adding Nuvo stone drops and Avery Elle frame die.

Next up is the new "Together We're Better" by Phyllis Harris. I absolutely adore this stamp set! I wanted that to be the focus so I just added some dreamy pink clouds with some Tim Holtz distress oxide inks. Also added some Brittany Lee lolly pink sequin mix for the sky, coz you know how I love the added bling :)

Finally, I also love this new "More than Beautiful" stamp set. I colored it with Copic markers and decided to do a fun background for this card. I inked up the Dear Lizzy Serendipity stencil with Tim Holtz distress oxide ink on a colored cardstock. It gives a really different feel whe you're inking it on a white cardstock. I finished it off with some Nuvo drops and Trendy Twine "Strawberry Cupcake".

Hope you are inspired and do shop your heart out! :)

For my first card, I used the awesome stamp set "KOALA-TY friends". I absolutely love this set for all the cute graphics and beautiful sentiments. I wanted to create a fun background for the flying koala bear, so I grabbed my Simon Says Stamp "leafy frame" stencil and inked it up with lots of my favorite Tim Holtz distress oxide inks. Do watch the video to see how I get the different colors on my background. I also added some Nuvo dream drops on the leaves to look like water dew drops :)

For my next card, again I grabbed the "KOALA-TY friends" stamp set and stamped out a whole bunch of images from this set and fussy cut all of them. I also cut out two wreaths with white cardstock using MFT Stamps "Joyful wreath" die. I colored the wreaths with Altenew watercolors to match my Unity Stamp Graciellie Design "Pink & Blue watercolored" patterned paper. I did paint some gesso on the paper so that the focal point would be the cute koalas. The sentiment is from the "Cuddlebug Koala" set.

And finally, this cute koala from the "Cuddlebug Koala" set. I die cut the cardstock using Gina Marie's rectangle scallop die, then colored the entire image in using Copic markers. I wanted to add a rainbow behind the koala, so I decided to grab my Nuvo Jewel Drops and just had fun with it! SO EASY to make this card - easy peezy :)

I hope you will lend a hand and help Australia by getting some beautiful stamps this week. Thank YOU so much from the bottom of all our hearts.

Visit Unity Stamp for more details on how you can help.

Have an awesome week.

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.
