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

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a fun 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 fun birds and snowman from the September 2025 Kit of the Month, also from Unity. 

You may be thinking... deja vu! And you're right! I shared a card last week with a similar design. I stamped another background only this time I flipped the colors around. 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 Lumberjack Plaid 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 Rustic Wilderness 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 critters and sentiment with Black Amalgam ink and colored up the critters with Copic markers.

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

Snowman: C0, C2, R00, R20, YR20, YR15, E21, E23

Chick: Y11, Y35, YR20, YR15

Brown Chicken: E21, E23, E25, YR20, YR15, C0, C2

White Chicken: C0, C2, R20, R14, R27, YR20, YR15

Green Hat & Scarves: YG11, G24, G46, C0, C2

Red Ear Muffs, Scarves & Heart: R20, R14, R27

Ground: C0, C2

I fussy cut around this fun image leaving a white border and adhered it to the card along the edge of the scallops where the stitches are. It kind looks like they're all popping in from the card. I trimmed up 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!

These fun critters are also available separately in the Fowl Weathered Friends stamps.

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

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 35 ~ Paper Wings ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing one last card for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 35 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I had these lovely butterflies sitting on my desk from an event well over a year ago... haha... time sure does fly by! I figured it was about time I used them!

I had stamped these pretty butterflies from the Paper Wings stamps from Unity using Black Amalgam Ink. I colored them up with a mix of blue-green Copic markers as samples for the ladies at the event. The colors are just slightly different and less noticeable since I distressed the butterflies to tame the bright white paper.

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

Top Butterfly: BG000, BG01, BG05

Middle Butterfly: BG000, BG01, BG15, BG45

Bottom Butterfly: BG000, BG15, BG45

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 35. 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 used a scrap for my strip of pattern paper... not totally sure how long it is but it was about 2" wide. This sketch challenge ends on Monday, September 29th!

Speaking of the papers... I used the gorgeous Grit & Grace {paper pack}. I love these papers so much! And the colors in them worked really nicely with the colors of the butterflies. I wrapped my background paper with some natural burlap string and secured it with some tape underneath the panel. I adhered the panel to a Kraft A2 top fold card base.

I adhered the butterflies to the strip of pattern paper and then added foam tape to the back of the butterflies and the strip of pattern paper. And then I popped it up on the card. I found a cut apart sentiment in my stash, trimmed it and adhered it to the card. I finished off the card with a few raindrop embellies. It was so fun to use some clutter from my desk and scraps from my papers for this one.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Inky Paws Challenge 244 ~ Fall Halloween Theme Challenge {Week 4}

Hello there crafty friend!

 There's just a few more days to play along with the Inky Paws Challenge #244 - Fall/Halloween Theme Challenge! You have until this coming Friday, September 26th to get your entries in for the challenge and a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!

Inky Paws Challenge #244 - Sketch Challenge

This has been such a fun challenge! I hope you have a chance to play along with us if you haven't already! There's just a few days left to play!

I just HAD to make another Halloween card! This time I pulled out the adorable Trick or Treat Newton Stamp Set. I was so tempted to ink up all the cute kitties but I narrowed it down to these three. I die cut them using the coordinating dies from the Trick or Treat Newton Die Set.

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

Skeleton Kitty: YR20, YR15, YR27, R00, R20

Skeleton Kitty Costume: N0, N2, N4, N6

Ghost Kitty: N2, N4, R00, R20

Ghost Kitty Costume: YG00, YG21, YG11, Colorless Blender

Witch Kitty: N0, N2, N4, YR20, YR15, R00, R20

Witch Kitty Costume: N0, N2, N4, N6, YG00, YG11

Broom: E21, E25, E11, E33

I die cut a few scraps of the Halloween Meows 6x6 Paper Pad using the A2 Card Layout Die Set. The bat papers are from the same paper pack. I trimmed it to 5-1/2 x 4-1/4" and adhered it to a white A2 top fold card that I turned on the side for a landscape card. I die cut the frame for the card from black card stock and adhered all of the pieces on the card base.

And then I just adhered the cute kitties to the bat paper. I trimmed the sentiment and popped it up on the card with foam tape.

Now it's your turn to get your paws inky with your Newton's Nook Designs products and create a project using the fun sketch. Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge! Can't wait to see your projects! 

As a final note, this is my last post as a member of the Inky Paws Challenge Design Team. I've had a blast working with Jen and the fabulous ladies on the design team, as well as sharing inspiration with all of you. I hope you've been inspired to play with your Newton's Nook Designs products. Keep up the inky fun!

You Are A Zillion ~ Boop the Snoot ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

Today I'm sharing a fun birthday card that I made for my husband using the adorable Boop the Snoot stamps from Unity. The face on this pup! Haha... so cute! He looks just like our Satellite.

I stamped the cute pup and colored him up with just a few Copic markers: E11, E23, E25. Once I had him colored up, I fussy cut around him leaving a white border.

The background was ink smooshed with a little bit of Hickory Smoke and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks. I stamped the cute paw using the Hickory Smoke Distress Ink.

I trimmed the panel to 4 x 5-1/4" and adhered it to a white A2 top fold card base. And then I stamped the sentiment using the Hickory Smoke Distress Ink again. I popped up the pup with foam tape and called this card done! This was quick and so fun to make.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Another Year Older? ~ Unsportsmanlike Pissy Kitty ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

Today I'm sharing a funny birthday card that I made using the awesome new Unsportsmanlike Pissy Kitty stamps from Unity. So many hilarious sentiments and this kitty's face... LOL! Love it!

I stamped the funny new pissy kitty and colored him up with Copic markers. Fun fact: I played volleyball in college and 05 was my number... so I used it for the kitty. Heehee. The numbers included with the stamps are so fun. And this kitty was so much fun to color! Once I had him colored up, I fussy cut around the edges leaving a white border.

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

Kitty: R00, R20, N0, N2, N4, YR20, YR15

Eyes: YG21, YG11, YG09

Uniform: YR20, YR21, YR15, YR27, YG17, G28

Football: E21, E25, E18, C0, C2

I paired the fun kitty up with the cool Tailgate and Touchdowns {paper pack}. It was so hard to pick papers from this paper pack... too many fun options! I trimmed the footballs layer to 4-1/8 x 5-3/8" and adhered it to a brown A2 card base. I trimmed the football helmet papers to 3-1/2 x 3-7/8" and adhered it to a mat of brown card stock measuring 3-9/16 x 4". And then I trimmed the football striped paper to 2-3/8 x 3-5/8" and also mat it with brown card stock measuring 2-1/2 x 3-3/4".

I trimmed the sentiment. And then I added foam tape to the back of the sentiment and the kitty and popped them both up on the card to finish it off. You can actually get Unsportsmanlike Pissy Kitty & the Tailgate and Touchdowns {paper pack} in a bundle for a limited time!

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 35 ~ November Girl ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing some inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 35 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I inked up an oldie but a goodie stamp from my stash... the beautiful November Girl from Unity.

I had stamped this beauty probably last year but the project I wanted to use her for went in a different direction. She was perfect for my card today though. I used paper scraps from my stash to make my background. These papers are from the plaid papers I used earlier in the month for this card... HERE. I thought I'd use some of the scraps for my card today.

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 35. 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 used the measurements on the sketch for my card today.

I colored up November Girl with similar colors to the papers but with a pop of blue and teal. I had fun coloring this one with my Copic markers.

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

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Hair: C0, C5, C7

Bird: Y11, Y15, B000, B91

Sprig: R14, G82, G94

Hat / Mittens / Boots: E21, E23, E25

Jacket: BG10, BG70, BG72, BG75

Sweater: Y15, Y38

Jeans: B91, B93, B95, B97

Pumpkins: YR20, YR15, YR68, UR27, BG000, BG01, BG72, E21, E25, G82, G94

Scarf: YR20, YR15, R14, R37

I stamped the sentiment, trimmed each of the words and adhered them to the card. I fussy cut November Girl and popped her up with foam tape. And then I finished off the card with brown enamel dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
