Membership Wednesday ~ September 2026 KOM Cozy, Merry & Slightly Unhinged ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a cute tag featuring a stamp from the September 2026 Kit of the Month membership from Unity Stamp Co. called Cozy, Merry & Slightly Unhinged. 

These adorable stamps that are also available separately as the Holiday Hide & Peek stamps are just the perfect size for tags! I just adore this cute reindeer! I stamped him with Black Amalgam ink from Gina K. Designs and colored him up with Copic markers.

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

Reindeer: E21, E23

Antlers: E21, E23, E25

Ears: R00, R20

Nose: R20, R14, R27

Feet: N1, N3, N5

Hat: C0, C2, R20, R14, R27

Ornaments: Y15, Y28, YG11, G24, G46

I paired up the cute reindeer with pattern paper from the Minty Christmas {paper pack}. This piece of pattern paper actually came in the freebie goodie bag with my KOM membership. I die cut the reindeer and the pattern papers using dies from the Make A Tag {die set}.

I kept the tag pretty simple with just the two layers and punched a hole with my 1/8" handheld hole punch. I tied a piece of twine from the freebie goodie bag that came with my KOM membership. I finished it off with the trimmed sentiment and a snowflake embellishment from my stash.

Here's a look at the Kit of the Month membership stamps. 

This adorable stamp kit is available separately here... Holiday Hide & Peek.

That's it for me today! I hope you've been INKspired to play with your membership stamps! 

Have a fabulous day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 46 ~ Halloween Cups ~ Angie Blom Digital Designs

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing my first card for the new Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 46 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I couldn't wait to print off the fun pumpkin mug from the Halloween Cups digital stamps from Angie Blom Digital Designs.

I just printed off the one mug from the Halloween Cups digital stamps. But there's a pretty good chance I'll print off one of the other ones too. Love the cute ghostie cup! Anywho, I combined and resized the pumpkin mug and sentiment in a Word Document and printed it off on white card stock. I had lots of fun coloring up the mug... I used colors from the fab pattern papers.

Pumpkin Mug: BG10, BG34, BG13, C3, C5, V000, V04, V05

Yellow: Y35, Y38

Whipped Cream: C0, C2

I paired up the cute mug with the Spooky Nights 6x6 Paper Pack from Ink N' Splatter available at Digi Doodle Studios. I don't see the physical papers on the website anymore but they do have the Spooky Nights 6x6 Digi Pattern Papers.

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 46. The sketch, as always, is meant to inspire not require. So let the sketch lead in your design, but don't feel limited by it. I can't wait to see what you all do with this sketch!! 

I adhered all of my layers to a black A2 card base. I sure hope you can find time to play along with the sketch challenge. Have an INKriffic week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sneaking in one more card for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 45 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I just got the fun Spooky Roundabout Stamp Set from a recent order and wanted to ink it up.

I've also been wanting to ink up the cute ghost kitty from the Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set. I thought it would be fun to pair up with the Spooky Roundabout Stamp Set. I die cut the ghost kitty using the coordinating die from the Ghostly Good Times Die Set.

 I die cut the fun roundabout stamp using the largest die from the Circle Frames Die Set. And I paired up the stamps with a neutral pattern paper from the Halloween Meows 6x6 Paper Pad.

I adhered the sentiment to the circle and then popped up the whole focal image with foam tape. I also popped up the ghost kitty with foam tape for a bit more dimension. The challenge ends today, September 28th. Get your entry in before midnight PDT. Have an INKriffic day!

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 73 ~ Odie's Holiday Home ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing one last card for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 73 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Did you see the cute Odie's Holiday Home stamp from Unity that just released?! Isn't he just the cutest?! I love him!

I inked up the cute pup from Odie's Holiday Home and colored him up with Copic markers. I die cut him using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. 

Copic Markers used:

Pup: E000, E21, E23

Hat: C0, C2, B000, B91

Ground: C0, C2

Heart: RV10, RV02

I paired up the pup with the fun Chillin' {paper pack} for a holiday card with non-traditional colors. I die cut the plaid papers using the largest die from the Deckle & Stitches Nesting Die Set. The blue snowy papers and paw prints papers were die cut using dies from the Scallops & Banners {nesting dies}. I used the smaller scalloped banner die twice for the blue snowy papers. I also used a fun pattern paper for my background layer.

I adhered all of my layers to a white A2 top fold card base. I adhered the sentiment to the puppy circle and then popped them both up with foam tape to finish off the card.

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 73 for the month of September. There's still time to enter the challenge! The challenge ends on Wednesday, September 30th. If you're interested in seeing a bit more inspiration for this sketch, check out the amazing inspiration from the design team over on the {BYSH} Cardmakers blog!

A Flurry of Happy Moments ~ Snowbert ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

Today I'm sharing a cute holiday card with the new Snowbert stamp from Unity Stamp Co. I love this big and adorable snowman!

I inked up the cute Snowbert on a white card front. I used a fun edger die from the Edge Appeal {border die set} for the edge of my card front. I adhered a 1" strip of pattern paper from the Snowflake Elegance {paper pack} to my A2 top fold card base. And then I adhered the Snowbert panel to the card base.

I used a die from the Zig Zag Rectangles {nesting dies} to die cut the sentiment. The die didn't fit the sentiment just right so I die cut it twice. First I lined it up under the 'moments' sentiment, ran it through my Big Shot and then I lined it up for the top and then just cut that top portion of the sentiment. 

Copic Markers used:

Snowman: C0, C2, R00, R20, YR20, YR15, E21, E25

Sweater: BG01, BG10, BG34

Scarf / Trim: BG10, BG34

Hat: C0, C2, BG01, BG10, BG34

Boots: B000, C3, C5, C7

Ground: C0, C2

Outline: C1

Snowflake: BG10

I popped up the sentiment with foam tape to finish this card off. So fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I then covered the panel with anti-static powder and stamped the Global Brew background using Wow Clear Embossing ink. I dusted the wet ink with Caramel Macchiato Embossing Powder from Wow.

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 45 Continued ~ Gnome Friends: Turkey Die ~ Jaded Blossom

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing one last fun card for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 45 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I have had so much fun with this sketch... I sure hope you've enjoyed it too.

This time I made a cute Thanksgiving Day card using the adorable Gnome Friends: Turkey Die from Jaded Blossom. Isn't he just the cutest?! I added a touch of pink to his cheeks with Copics - R00 & R20.

The fun sentiment is from the Gobble Squad Stamp Set that I die cut using the coordinating Gobble Squad Outline Dies. I stamped it with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The papers are the Knit Picky Fall 6x6 Paper Pack from Lawn Fawn. I just adore the colors in these papers!! I love them so much I bought two packs. Looks like they are retired now though. Such a bummer.

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 45. The sketch, as always, is meant to inspire not require. So let the sketch lead in your design, but don't feel limited by it. My focal image was much smaller so I opted to do two circles to make it a little bigger and the white card stock needed a mat to help it pop a bit more on the card.

I adhered the sentiment to the circle and then popped up the whole focal image with foam tape. There's less than a week now to play along with the sketch challenge. The challenge ends on Monday, September 28th. Have an INKriffic day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
