Membership Wednesday ~ September 2025 BOM Merry Multipack ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a cute holiday card featuring the fabulous September 2025 Background of the Month membership called Merry Multipack from Unity Stamp Co. And I paired it up with the adorable bunny from the September 2025 Kit of the Month, also from Unity.

I placed the Merry Multipack background stamp in my Stamp Platform and inked up the reindeer and 'ho ho ho' portions of the stamp with Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink. After getting a nice crisp stamped image for those two sections, I cleaned off the stamp. And then I inked up the candy cane stripes and the plaid with Lumberjack Plaid Distress Ink.

I die cut the background using the largest die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}. And then I adhered it to a white A2 top fold card base. I stamped the cute bunny and sentiment with Black Amalgam ink and colored the bunny up with Copic markers.

Here's a list of the Copic markers I used:

Bunny: W0, W2, W3, W5, R00, R20

Hat: R20, R14, R27, C0, C2

Ornament: YG11, G24, G46

Greenery: YG11, G24, R27

I fussy cut around the bunny leaving a white border and then adhered it directly to the card. I trimmed the sentiment and popped it up on the card with foam tape.

Here's a quick look at this month's Background of the Month membership!

Membership Wednesday ~ September 2025 KOM Harvest to Holiday ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a quick Fall card featuring the gorgeous HUGE pumpkin from the September 2025 Kit of the Month membership called Harvest to Holiday from Unity Stamp Co. 

I stamped the script sentiment included in the kit several times on the left side of a piece of Kraft card stock. I then stamped the the pumpkin and the 'Fall Blessings' sentiment. I trimmed the panel to 4-1/2 x 4-1/2".

I ink smooshed the panel keeping the top right corner mostly free of ink. I used Spiced Marmalade, Carved Pumpkin, Abandoned Coral, and Gathered Twigs Distress Inks. Once I was happy with the ink smooshing, I dried the panel with a Wagner Precision Heat Tool. I colored the stem with a few Copic markers: E11, E25, E18.

I roughed up the edges of the Kraft layer with a Distress Tool from Tim Holtz. I adhered the panel to a 4-5/8" squared piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock from Stampin' Up. The script on the left side needed something to break it up so I wrapped the panel three times with natural May Arts Burlap String and tied a bow. I covered the back of the panel with foam tape leaving a space for the string and popped it up on a 5" squared piece of Early Espresso card stock, also from SU. The panel is adhered to a 10 x 5" Kraft card base that's scored at 5". I finished off the card with a few enamel dots from my stash.

Another option is to get this kit separately here... Pumpkin Hearth.

Membership Wednesday ~ August 2025 KOM Season of Soft & Spooky ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a lovely Fall card featuring the beautiful leaves from the August 2025 Kit of the Month membership from Unity Stamp Co. 

I started with a white card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2". I masked the two ends with each with a piece of iCraft Pixie Tape. I blended Mustard Seed Distress Ink over the center portion of the card. I dried the ink with a heat tool and then applied an anti-static powder to the area. I stamped the two leaves with a watermark ink and then dusted the wet ink with clear embossing powder. I melted the powder with a heat tool.Once the embossed areas had cooled, I blended Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink over the area. I dried the area with a heat tool applied anti-static powder again. I stamped two more leaves with clear embossing ink and then sprinkled clear embossing powder over the wet ink. I melted the powder with a heat tool. So at this point I had the yellow and orange leaves on my masked panel.

I used the very same steps with the remaining leaves using Lumberjack Plaid and Vintage Photo Distress Inks. I finished off the panel with some Walnut Stain and Black Soot Distress Inks. The top left and bottom left leaves were done with Vintage Photo even though it looks a bit red. Not sure why. 

I used the same technique for this card that I shared a couple of years ago using the October 2022 Kit of the Month called Change & Direction. If the video above doesn't work you can use this link... Emboss Resist Technique | October 2022 Kit of the Month | Unity Stamp Co.

I stamped the sentiment with Black Amalgam ink and then trimmed the panel to 4 x 5-1/4". I wrapped the panel a few times with black burlap string and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to a black A2 top fold card base and then added a few reddish enamel dots.

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 34 Extended ~ Membership Wednesday ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a fun Fall card featuring the cute gnome from the August 2025 Kit of the Month membership from Unity Stamp Co. A little inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 34 that is hosted in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group too.

I started with a fun fall themed embossing folder for my background. It's an old one that I've had in my stash for a long time called Happy Fall. I ran it through my Big Shot with a piece of white cardstock. I chose white because the pattern paper I planned on using had a white-ish background. I trimmed four scraps of pattern paper from the Fallen Elegance {paper pack} down to 3-1/4 x 3/4". The embossed background is trimmed down to 4 x 5-1/4".

As I mentioned above, my inspiration for today's card came from the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 34. This sketch is coming to an end.... the last day to enter is August 25th. I hope you'll play along!

I stamped the cute gnome with Black Amalgam ink and colored it up with Copic markers. I fussy cut it leaving a white border and then popped it up on the card with foam tape.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Nose: E000, E00, E11, E04

Beard: C0, C2

Hat: Y000, Y11, YR20, YR15, R20, R14

Shoes: E00, E11, E25

Pants: G000, G21

Mushrooms: W0, W3, R20, R14

Pumpkin: YR20, YR15, YR27, E11, E25

Ground: E000, E11

I stamped the sentiment with Black Amalgam ink, trimmed it and adhered it directly to the card with liquid glue. I am so ready for Fall! These super hot days of summer can just be done. I'm hoping my Fall cards bring some Fall vibes our way!

Membership Wednesday ~ August 2025 Uniquely Unity Windowsill Woodlands ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a fun card to brighten anyone's day featuring the adorable owl from the August 2025 Uniquely Unity membership along with the cute background stamp from the August 2025 Background of the Month membership. 

I stamped the awesome background on Kraft card stock using Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. I blended some Vintage Photo Distress Ink over the panel and then die cut it using the largest die from the Deckle & Stitches Nesting Die Set.

I then blended some Gathered Twigs Distress Ink around the edges of the die cut panel. I stamped the heart again on a scrap of Kraft card stock and blended a bit of Candied Apple Distress Ink in the center. I fussy cut the heart and set it aside. I stamped the adorable owl with Black Amalgam ink and colored it with Copic markers. I used a Sakura White Gelly roll pen to add some spots to the owl.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Owl: E000, E11, E25

Beak: YR20, YR15, YR68, YR27

Eyes: YG21, YG11

I fussy cut the owl and adhered it to the heart and then I popped up the heart on the card with foam tape. Can you see the hint of dimension? I cut three pieces of Natural May Arts Burlap String and tied them around the panel with a bow. And then I glued the panel to a Kraft A2 top fold card base. I heat embossed the sentiment on Kraft card stock and distressed the edges lightly with the residual ink on my brown blending brush.

Christmas in July 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Membership Wednesday ~ July 2025 KOM Feelin' Fall the Things ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I can't believe how fast the time is going by! We are nearing the end of the Christmas in July 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party! It's always so sad to reach the end, but I'm super happy to be adding so many cards to my stash! I hope you've been inspired to play along with us. My card today features the wonderful bear from this month's Kit of the Month called Feelin' Fall the Things AND a couple of stamps from the November 2023 Kit of the Month called Festive Flair from our amazing Sponsor Unity Stamp Co. It's Membership Wednesday... a fun day to share inspiration for the awesome memberships over at Unity!

I started with my background that I ink smooshed with Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink on my 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" card front of Kraft card stock. I focused the ink smooshing on the left side and bottom knowing that I was going to cover the right side with pattern paper. I stamped the wonderful distressed plaid stamp from the Festive Flair kit onto the ink smooshed background using the same ink. I trimmed and tore the pretty pattern paper from the Watercolor Tidings {paper pack} and distressed the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I adhered it to the background.

 And then I stamped the beautiful tree on the sled from the November 2023 KOM and the beautiful bear from the July 2025 KOM using Black Amalgam ink from Sponsor Gina K. Designs. I colored up the images with Copic markers and fussy cut them. I distressed the tree on the sled a little bit to tone down the white. I adhered the bear to the tree on the sled and then added foam tape to the back and popped them up on the card for some dimension.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Tree: YG11, G24, G46, E23

Ornaments: R20, R14, R27, Y11, Y08, BG000, BG01

Star: Y11, Y08

Sled: E21, E23, E25

Presents: BG000, BG01, Y11, Y08, R20, R14, R27, YG11, G24

Bear: E11, E21, E23, E25, G24 {eye}

Bear Crown: R20, R14, R27, YG11, G24, G46

I wrapped the panel with Luxe Satin Ribbon from Papertrey Ink and added a cute little bow. I added a fun metal tag from Tim Holtz with a bit of burlap string to finish it off. 

Here's a peek at this month's Kit of the Month. 

The sweet bear from this kit is also available separately here... Wilder Still.

I hope you'll stop by the Christmas in July 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party to check out all the wonderful Holiday inspiration being shared! I've been inspired by so many of the cards! I sure hope you'll stop by and check it out! Have an ink-redible day!

Membership Wednesday ~ July 2025 BOM Sunny Side Up ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a fun card using the spotlight technique featuring the awesome Sunny Side Up background stamp from the July 2025 Background of the Month membership. 

Usually I color the spotlight when I do this technique, but this time I wanted to change things up and spotlight just the stamp in black and white. 

I die cut the one flower using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies} and then colored the background using a handful of Copic markers. I used B000, BV00, BV02, Y11, Y15.

I die cut the panel using the largest die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies} and adhered it to a white A2 top fold card base. I popped up the spotlight circle using foam tape and then I trimmed the sentiment from the July 2025 Kit of the Month and adhered it across the card.

Here's a quick look at this month's Background of the Month membership!

Well, that's it for me today! I hope you've been inspired to play with your membership stamps! Have an INKredible day!

Membership Wednesday ~ June 2025 BOM Check it Out ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a quick masculine card featuring an older stamp from Unity along with the awesome Check it Out background stamp from the June 2025 Background of the Month membership. 

I stamped the awesome background directly onto the front of a white A2 top fold card base with Black Amalgam ink and distressed the edges with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink. So super easy and it looks just like a chess board. 

My oldest son likes to play chess so I thought I'd make him a chess themed birthday card. I remembered the chess pieces from an old KOM and after a bit of investigating I found it. It's in the December 2018 KOM called Best Friend Till the End. I stamped them with Black Amalgam ink and colored them with just a few Copic markers - E000, E21, E33.

I die cut the chess pieces using a square die from the Scallops & Squares {nesting dies} and distressed the edges very lightly using residual ink on my brush. I then adhered it to a black mat that I die cut with the next largest die. The fun sentiment is a new fave from the Ween Party Crew stamps that I heat embossed using Ultra Fine Embossing Powder Raven embossing powder from Brutus Monroe. I trimmed up the sentiment and mat it with some leftover black card stock. Easy peasy and I sure hope he likes it.

Here's a quick look at this month's Background of the Month membership!

Well, that's it for me today! I hope you've been inspired to play with your membership stamps! Have an INKtastic day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.
