Unity Stamp Company… New Release

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well and staying healthy! I am excited to share with you beautiful new stamp sets that have released from Unity Stamp Company! I had so much fun creating with these new sets. These new stamps were so fun to color and have such a whimsical feel to them!

For my first card I am using Humble Places by artist Phyllis Harris.

I started by stamping on Canson Mixed media paper, I wanted to create a notecard using this stamp. So I left the front with the image only for now and may add a sentiment later on. I wanted to create a whimsical, water color look for this adorable stamp! As soon as I saw this girl, I fell in love with the stamp! She is the sweetest…. don’t you think? I colored her using Tombow markers. When working with my Tombow markers I place the color on my glass mat and pick up the color using my water brush pen. I added serval layers of color until my coloring was complete. I do wait between layers so my coloring does take me some time. I find this truly makes the watercoloring have better results in the end. I die cut my panel using a Hero Arts nested rectangle, then I used a Gina Marie Designs Only Pierced Dots nested rectangle to add a little interest. I glued the panel onto a black card base and added a few flower sequins and added Stickles to the center of each floral. I hope she brightened your day!

For my second card I am using the new Happiness by Choice – by Phyllis Harris.

I also fell in love with this girl! She is just so peaceful and beautiful at the same time! I followed a similar process with this stamp as card 1. I stamped on Canson Mixed Media paper and colored using my Tombow markers. I allowed the stamped image to dry between layers. To complete my coloring I added Bre Reese Liquid Glitter to her dress! Every girl needs some sparkle, right! Once my coloring was complete I die cut my stamped image using a Double Stiched In and Out Circle die by Gina Marie Designs. I used a background from my stash I had created a little while back. I wanted the green on the bottom to compliment the grass and the purple in the top portion to pull out color from her dress. I used foam tape to adhere the circle and the beautiful stamped sentiment from this set. You can see her sparkly dress in a quick video I am sharing on my instagram page.

For my 3rd card I am sharing Hope and Strength by Graciellie Design. This set recently released as a digital stamp and is now available in red rubber. This set comes with 2 dragon flies (see set for measurements of dragonflies).

For my last card I followed the same process for coloring the dragonfly as shared above for both cards. I wanted this dragonfly to be super sparkly…. I embossed the entire butterfly using WOW Embossing glitter – Fairy Dust! I used a sentiment from the set and foam mounted the dragonfly and the sentiment onto an alcohol ink card panel. I also glued a bit of chunky glitter to the card panel as well for added shine! My card panel was added to a black card base.

Unity Stamp Company also released two more beautiful stamp sets, as well as patterned paper!

Happy Birthday – Let’s go to the Fair

Hi everyone! I am back with a fun themed card – do you love summer, the smell of cotton candy, and going to an amusement park? When I see rides, it makes me think of summer days and nights! I am no longer a ride girl, but I still do love the excitement of going to an amusement park -it just makes me happy! Today’s card features the new stencil of the month from Brutus Monroe. I had fun using this stencil to create my card today!

The detail in this stencil was so fun to work with! I created a slim line card for today’s project. I started by ink blending using the stencil on top of Bristol Smooth Card stock. I used 3 colors (from top to bottom): Picked Raspberry, Abandoned Coral, and Seedless Preserves. I used my Picket Fence blending brushes and did several layers until I achieved a smooth blend. I used perfect pearls to add splatters to my card, then set it aside to dry. Once it was dry, I cut it down to make the 3 parts of the amusement park.

I used a gray slim line card base, I adhered a black card stock panel along the bottom, then glued the roller coaster section into the middle, and used foam underneath the Merry -Go-Round and Ferris Wheel to add more dimension. I added a few gold stars to my background as well. I used a sentiment from Super Sentimental (which is currently sold out) but this set is AMAZING! I love all the fun fonts in this set!

Be Calm, Be Brave, Be Strong – Unity Stamp Company

Hi everyone… Happy Mother’s day! I hope this post finds you doing well! I hope you had a wonderful day and a great weekend! I enjoyed some crafty time this afternoon and evening. I was excited to use the Trust It Will Be Okay April 2020 Sentiment Kit from Unity Stamp Company! I purchased this during a recent flash sale and it still happens to be on sale today! The kit contains a large heart shaped stamp with butterflies and 14 encouraging sentiments. I couldn’t wait to ink this one up!

I started by cutting a panel of Canson Mixed Media paper, I was planning to create a slim line card today. I taped down my paper to a board and started to water color using Peerless Water colors – these are AMAZING! I am so excited to add these to my stash, they are so pigmented! From the top down I used: Robins Egg Blue, Sky Blue, and Alice Blue. I used a water brush to apply the colors. I let this panel dry, then I added splatters using the same colors.

Once my panel was dry I used the butterfly heart shape stamp. I stamped the butterflies (Versafine Black Ink) 3 times on my card panel, turning it in different directions. I chose the sentiment Be Calm, Be Brave, and Be Strong from the set. I stamped this using Versafine Black ink on white card stock and then cut it down into 3 sentiment strips. I used foam tape behind each sentiment. I created a slim line card panel 3.5 x 8.5 and adhered a piece of black card stock to my white card base. I then mounted my butterfly panel and my sentiment strips as well. To complete my card, I added sequins for added shine and Perfect Pearls in gold on various butterflies along the panel.
