Advent Calendar 2025 Day 16 ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

It's Day 16 of the 2025 Advent Calendar from Unity!! I have a sweet friendship card to share today featuring today's beautiful stamp along with Day 8 and Day 15.

Love this sweet fairy stamp! And she looks so nice accompanied by the flower stamps from Day 8 and Day 15.

You can check out my video revealing the Advent Calendar Day 16 stamp and my process in making this card here... Unity Advent Calendar 2025 Day 16 | Unity Stamp Co.

Inspiration for my card came from the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 38! This fun sketch challenge is going on right now and there's still plenty of time to play along! I hope you'll join us in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group and play along with the challenge!

I die cut the fairy using a die from the Scallops & Squares {nesting dies}. The flowers were also stamped on a die cut using the same die.

Copic Markers: Skin: E00, E11 Wings / Dress / Blue Flower: B000, B02, B97 Yellow Flower: Y11, Y35 Red Flowers: R20, R14 Stems / Leaves / Grass: YG11, YG03 Sky: B000

I paired up the pretty fairy and flowers with the Kindness is Magic {paper pack}. I think it's a fun pairing of stamp and papers. I love the colors in these papers! The fun sentiment is from the Being Yourself stamp {unfortunately, it looks like this one is retired}.

I'll be back tomorrow for Day 17 of the 2025 Advent Calendar from Unity!

Have an inkredible day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 38 ~ Say Cheese Classic Mouse Christmas ~ Simple Stories

 Hello there crafty friend!

I hope you're having a great day! Today I'm sharing my first card for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 38 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I can't believe that we are on the final sketch challenge for 2025!! This year has flown by!!

I decided to make a quick card today. I just got some fun new goodies from Simple Stories called Say Cheese Classic Mouse Christmas Collection. I couldn't wait to play!!

I used the Say Cheese Classic Mouse Christmas 6x8 paper pad for my background layers. I adhered them to a card base of Aqua Mist card stock from Papertrey Ink. It's not a perfect match but in person it looks great. The cute postage stamp pieces are from the Big Bits package. I popped up Minnie with foam tape. The sentiment and the little circle I tucked under Mickey came from the 12x12 Card Stock Stickers. And then the cute decorative brads are from the Self Adhesive Decorative Brads. 

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 38. 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 for my layers on my card.

 Lots of possibilities with this fun sketch! And it'll work great for scraps too. I hope you can find time to play along. I can't wait to see what you create. Have an INKredible week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
