Birthday Fun ~ Party Pup ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

Today I'm sharing a fun birthday card I made with the cute new Party Pup stamp from Unity. This pup is just too cute!

I stamped the cute Party Pup and sentiment separately with Black Amalgam ink and then I die cut the pup with a tag die from the Make a Tag {die set}. I pulled out some Copic markers and got to coloring.

Here's a quick list of the Copics I used:

Pup: N0, N2, N4

Eyes: C0, C2

Hat: R20, R14, Y11, Y15

Chair: BG10, BG01, BG15

Balloon: RV000, RV02

Background: Y11

Floor: C0, C2, Y11, Y15, R20, R14

I wanted a fun background for this cute pup so I die cut a piece of pattern paper from the Yay, It's Today {paper pack} using the Falling Stars Background Die {unfortunately, I think this one is retired}. I popped out all of those stars to use for another project and adhered the background to a white A2 top fold card base.

I trimmed the sentiment and adhered it to the tag and then I added foam to both pieces and popped it up on the card. Whatcha think?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Inky hugs,

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 64 ~ Sparkle Glitter & Joy Snowmen ~ Digi Doodle Studios

Hello there crafty friend!

I've been sick so I'm running behind with my last card for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 64 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! I've had these cuties printed on my desk just waiting for me to color them up.

I resized the Sparkle Glitter & Joy Snowmen digi set in a Word Document and then I printed them off on white card stock. I colored them up with Copic markers. I then fussy cut them leaving a white border and popped them up using foam tape.

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

White: C0, C2

Nose: YR20, YR15

Hats / Scarves: V000, V12, V15, B00, B02

JOY: B000, B00

I paired up these cuties with the Winter Plaids & Patterns 6x6 Paper Pad. I used the measurements from the sketch for my layers. 

I finished up this one with some Glossy White Card Bling from A Colorful Life Designs.

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 64 for the month of December. There's just a few more days left to enter the challenge! 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! I'm always blown away by the creations from the DT... they are amazingly talented cardmakers!

Advent Calendar 2025 Day 24 ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

It's Day 24 of the 2025 Advent Calendar from Unity!! Tomorrow is Christmas... unbelievable how fast the days flew by over the last 24 days. I hope that you've been inspired along the way to play with your advent goodies. And if you haven't had time to play along, I hope that you do soon. Merry Christmas crafty friends!

Today's stamp is actually two stamps!! A sweet sentiment that says Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and a fun fireworks stamp. I stamped them both with Wow Clear Embossing ink. And then I heat embossed them with Ultra Fine Antique Gold Embossing Powder from Simon Says Stamp.

You can check out my video revealing the Advent Calendar Day 24 stamp and my process in making this card here... Unity Advent Calendar 2025 Day 24 | Unity Stamp Co.

Inspiration for my card came from past Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 24. This one deviated from the sketch but I think I kept a couple of the elements.

Even though I used anti-static powder you can see I had some fly-aways. Normally, that would drive me crazy and I'd probably redo the card, but since it's fireworks which typically have fly-aways... I'm okay with it!

That's the end of the 2025 Advent Calendar from Unity! I hope that you've enjoyed the inspiration I've shared over the last few weeks. Have an INKtastic day & a very Merry Christmas!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
