Simply Blessed – Unity Stamp Company

November 9, 2020

Hi Crafty friends! I hope you had a beautiful weekend! It was an awesome weekend here – the sun was shining, it was in the 70s, and my daughter came home from college for a family dinner! It was a GREAT weekend! I hope you had a nice weekend too! I wanted to stop in to share a card using one of the new released stamp sets from Unity stamp Company – Simply Blessed! I love this gorgeous new set by artist Graciellie Design. I love this gorgeous jar of blooms and the sentiments in this set! Graciellie has beautiful sentiments! I also wanted to stop in to share the AMAZING SALE that is happening over at Unity Stamp Company – it is their biggest SALE of the year! There are 10 new released stamp sets, an advent calendar, Unity Hoodies, and a discount on supplies! Be sure to head over and stock up now, add the item to your cart and watch the discounts appear! You will save 55% off on stamp sets! It is the best time to shop! Happy shopping!

It is an exciting month over at Unity stamp Company – I wanted to share a card using the new release Simply Blessed. I love this set by artist Graciellie Design.

I started by stamping the image onto Fabriano Hot Pressed watercolor paper. I love this paper for watercoloring – it is smooth and does well holding water! For today’s card I used my Zig Clean Color brush markers. I love the arrangement on this stamp. I just enjoyed the watercolor process for both the Eucalyptus and the Cotton Stems. I added several layers of color on these images and once it was complete I set is aside to dry.

I wanted to create a soft watercolor look for the my card, so I did the same for my background. I used a piece of Canson XL Watercolor card. I chose a few colors of Gansai Tambi watercolor to create the background. I used one of my favorite techniques to create the background – ink smooshing. I added the color to my glass mat with water and “smooshed” the paper on top of the ink. I completed this several times and then set it aside to dry. I love the natural look this gives!

To complete my card I trimmed down the panel to fit an A2 sized card and adhered this to my card base. I then die cut the floral jar using a Tim Holtz die. I chose a sentiment from the Aging Gorgeously sentiment kit. I heat embossed this on black card stock using white embossing powder. I love the sentiments in this kit – truly perfect for a birthday celebration! I used foam tape to adhere both the sentiment and the center die cut panel as well. I hope this card will bring cheer and happiness!

I am so excited to share 2 cards using two new SLIMLINE stamps at Unity Stamp Company! I just adore both of these new sets by artist Ann Corbiere-Scott. I am in love with these slimline stamps! They are perfect for a slimline card, as well as for creating an A2 card!

Here is an example using the new Funky Flowers. I used Peerless watercolors to complete the coloring on this card. Isn’t this stamp so much fun!

I am also loving the gorgeous new Let’s Get Merry slimline stamp! I love this large Poinsettia image – inside each section are tiny words – isn’t it just AMAZING!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I am so excited for this month over at Unity Stamp Company – we have so much more coming your way!

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!
