New RED Rubber RELEASE – Unity Stamp Company

May 1, 2020

Wow – Happy Friday and Happy May 1st! I can’t believe it is May already! It has been a rainy week here in upstate NY, but today my blog is full of sunshine…. Unity Stamp Company has a beautiful new release – click here to see all the GORGEOUS new stamps! I am going to share several cards today using the new release.

My first card is using this new gorgeous set called One of those People. I was so excited to use this set, as this set is designed by a dear crafty friend of mine, Sandhya Iyer. I am so excited for her as she begins this next creative journey in designing stamps! I had so much fun with this one! I stamped the beautiful floral cluster 2 times on Canson Mixed Media Paper. I used my zigs to color the flowers and leaves. Once my coloring was complete I used my scan and cut to fussy cut each cluster. I created an ink smooshed watercolor background on an A2 sized panel using distress ink: peacock feathers and a navy blue from Stampin up. Once my panel was dry I added silver splatters to the background and metallic purple splatters to the floral cluster. I foam mounted the flowers and adhered my sentiment to the panel and attached this to my card base.

My second card is using the beautiful new release Possible Not Easy, designed by Sandhya Iyer! I am so proud of her! I fell in love with this set right away, Coneflowers are one of my favorite flowers! I stamped the beautiful images on Canson Mixed media paper and used my Tombow markers to color each image. I used a combination of pinks, purple, and even navy blue to color each floral image. I used shades of green and grayish-green to color each leaf in as well. I used my san and cut to fussy cut each floral. I set these aside. I used a background for my florals from my stash. I had created this awhile back. The stencil is from Gina Marie designs, along with some glitter glaze from Brutus Monroe on the left hand side. I adhered the sketchy square panel (also from set), florals, and sentiment…. my card is complete! I love this set and can’t wait to use it again!

For my 3rd card I am sharing the beautiful Happy Mother’ Day set by artist Graciellie Design. This set is releasing in red rubber today!!!!!! It has a beautiful floral cluster, along with florals inside a cup. The sentiments in this set are amazing! This set will be wonderful to create cards for any special female in your life and can be used all year long.

For my 4th card I am using 2 new stamp sets A Faithful Letter background stamp and Hello Sweetheart Bouquet – May Sentiment Kit. I was so excited to combine both of these sets for my card! This background is amazing, the font is so beautiful! I stamped the background on Canson Mixed Media paper and used Distressed inks to create an ink smooshed background. I love the added color this gave to this beautiful stamp. I set this aside to dry. I then stamped the bouquet from the stamp set which is a combination of florals and feathers! WHAT… this is amazing! I colored in these beautiful flowers and feathers using a combination of pinks and teals. I used my scan and cut to fussy cut the image. I die cut a circle using a piece of vellum and adhered my floral image to the vellum. I glued the scripty background panel to an A2 card base. I used black twine and tied this around my card base. I used foam tape to adhere the stamped image and my sentiment to my background panel. I added a few sequins and my card was complete.

Hello crafty friends!!!! Today I am back to share Hello crafty friends!!!! Today I am back to share a page in my journal using the beautiful collection from @sizzix and @vickiboutin 🦋🦋🦋🦋

For today’s project I started by creating the background using stencils from both of the Buildables stencil sets! Then I stamped the leaves and butterflies and embossed them with clear powder. I then added texture to the background using white paste through a stencil and once dry,  I added Gold Luster Wax over areas of the paste.  I then layered the leaves, cheesecloth, a small tag, and an edger to create the focal point! 
I completed the page by inking the edges, splatters, and a small sentiment!
