Peony Hugs – Unity Stamp Company

Hi everyone! I am stopping in with a quick blog post….I was so excited to share with you that Unity Stamp Company has released the beautiful Peony Hugs from the artsit Graciellie Designs into a red rubber stamp! This stamp is so beautiful! I couldn’t wait to make a card! Unity Stamp Company is also hosting an amazing weekend flash and inventory sale! You can see it here. If you are inspired by my card, I would greatly appreciate you using my affiliate links! Thank you so much!

I stamped 2 images using the beautiful peony cluster. I used Canson Mixed Media paper. This is a light weight paper, but I knew I was going to do a light wash of color, so I knew it would be ok. I used distress inks to watercolor my peonies. I used picked raspberry and evergreen bough. I did each color twice. I used a very light hand on my coloring, this is different for me. I wanted to create a subtle, but very beautiful floral image. What do you think?

Once my watercoloring had dried, I used my scan and cut to trim these images. I then set them aside and aslo under heavy books for the night. I used a Gina Marie Designs background die. I love this die. I cut it in black cardstock and adhered this to my panel. The next day I added some gold splatters to my flowers. I played with a few different layouts, but once I was happy, I adhered them with foam tape to my card. I added my sentiment and a few sequins and my card was complete!

I am so excited about this beautiful stamp being released in red rubber, Peony Hugs! Its truly stunning and if you agree, visit my links! Be sure to check out the amazing flash sales – here !

Have a great night! Crafty Hugs,

Miss your Face – Brutus Monroe

Happy Thursday Crafty Friends! I hope you are doing well. I am stopping in to share a bright and colorful card inspired by Jennifer McQuire. She is amazing and teaches me something new all the time! I was inspired by a recent you tube video she shared using multiple colors on stencils. I had to try it and I had the perfect stencil in my stash from Brutus Monroe – Circle Tone. I hope you enjoy my card and if you see some items I use that inspire you, I would love it if you shopped using my affiliate links! Thank you!

I started by placing my stencil on bristol smooth card stock. I taped it down to ensure it didn’t move! Overall I did pretty good, but I did have some ink move to other colors, but I was still happy with this bright fun card in the end! I used a rainbow of distress oxide inks (candied apple, spiced marmalade, squeezed lemonade, lucky clover, salty ocean, and seedless preserves). I started with the red and worked my way towards the purple color. I used my blending brushes and used my hand to cover the section next to it. You can see why I had a couple go over, but that’s ok!

I set my panel aside to dry for a bit. I worked on the sentiment. I love this one – miss your face! It’s so fun! I used the Super Sentimental set. I embossed the image using Brutus Monroe embossing ink and alabaster embossing powder. I placed foam adhesive under the sentiment and set it aside.

I was so excited to add all the glitter and sparkles using – Glitter Glaze (falling Snow). It is currently sold out at the moment. They do have other ones available here, as well as a monthly subscription! How fun! I used my spatula to place the glaze over the stencil and once it was complete I removed the stencil and set the panel aside to dry. Once my panel was dry I trimmed the panel a bit, as I wanted to show the back aqua card panel. I loved the addition of the aqua color and then I added the sentiment and my card was complete!

I hope you enjoyed this card and it brings you a little bit of happiness and sparkle to your day!

Good morning crafty friends! I hope you are doing well! I wanted to stop in and share another beautiful limited time digital stamp release from Unity Stamp Company! Today I am sharing the Jesus and Germs stamp set! This stamp set is so beautiful and as soon as I saw it I couldn’t wait to ink it up! This beautiful set is created by artist Tierra Jackson.

I hope you will check out this set and more of the amazing digital stamps being released! You can see them all here – Unity Stamp Company! I would greatly appreciate it if you love these stamps like I do, you would kindly use my affiliate links. Thank you!

I started by printed the floral frame on Neenh 80lb card stock. I wanted to use alcohol markers for this image and work on my coloring with these markers. I am beginning to truly love alcohol markers and now I want more markers! For todays card I used my Altenew artist markers. I am happy to share the colors I used if this interest you! I had fun coloring this beautiful stamp! I felt this stamp was so beautiful I wanted to create a 1 layer card this time and have the florals and coloring be the focal point of my card!

Once my coloring was complete I used my arteza colored pencils to add more depth to the nooks and crannies! I love this so much because it truly changes my coloring! I added shades of a dark purple and deep blue to the corners! Once my coloring was complete I used a Gina Marie Designs die cut and then adhered the panel to a black card base.

I hope you have a good day! Sending you a big crafty hug!
