March 2022 Whit Kit ~ Big Memories Card Kit ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with one more card using the beautiful March 2022 Whit Kit called Big Memories! I have found myself in desperate need of birthday cards for my stash so I thought I'd pair up this month's card kit with a couple of cute itty bitty stamps to make a special birthday card for one of my friends and at least get ahead a little bit.

 

I used a couple of scraps of torn pattern paper from my blog post yesterday for my background today. Still loving that white torn border on the papers! I die cut another pattern paper with the Postage Stamp {nesting dies} to use as my background for my focal piece. 

I stamped the hearts from the Big Memories stamp kit with Abandoned Coral and Tattered Rose Distress Oxide inks. I fussy cut the hearts leaving a skinny border of white around them.

I stamped the adorable bird from the Old Chicks itty bitty stamp and colored it up with the following Copic Markers:

Beak ~ Y06, YR15

Yellows ~ Y000, Y11

Pinks ~ R20, R22

The sentiment is stamped with Abandoned Coral Oxide ink and fussy cut with a flag on one end. All the layers are just adhered with liquid glue. I didn't pop up anything this time with foam tape... crazy!

 Hello there crafty friend!

No matter how hard I try I can't seem to get time to play with the wonderful Whit Kit card kits until near the end of the month. I've been so excited to play with the March 2022 Whit Kit called Big Memories! Before I really delved into papercrafting I loved to take photographs! So I especially love camera and camera related stamps. The detail in the beautiful camera stamp in this kit makes my heart so happy! It only needs a little touch of color and bam - Beautiful!

Today, I wanted to share a fun way to make pattern paper backgrounds... 2-ways!

A very simple background idea with two totally different looks.

My first card has nice straight lines and angles. I cut strips of the four pattern papers all at 1-1/8 x 6" and then adhered them to a card front that I die cut with the largest stitched rectangle die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies} from Unity.

 I adhered the pattern paper background to a dark pattern paper from the Enveloped in Love {paper pack} that I've cut to a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" card front. I stamped the camera stamp with Gina K. Designs Black Amalgam ink and heat embossed some Hero Art Fine Clear Embossing powder. I popped up the cameras on both cards with foam tape.

I watercolored the heat embossed camera with the Pearlescent watercolors included in the kit. I stamped the sentiment with the same Black Amalgam ink and heat embossed it too. I blended a bit of Hickory Smoke and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks around the edge of the sentiment.

For my second card I tore the pattern paper strips leaving a rough white edge to each paper strip.

I love the pop of white that the torn edges gives to the card. 

And I left this sentiment clean and white to coordinate with the pops of white from the torn edges. 

I can't really decide which of the two pattern paper backgrounds I like better. I really like how both cards turned out and are just slightly different from each other.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with another CAS card using the beautiful February 2022 Whit Kit from Unity Stamp Co. called Lovely Reminder. This time I did a little masking and Distress Oxide ink blending... one of my favorite techniques for a quick CAS card!

I wanted a romantic color combo for my ink blending and I think I found it with Tattered Rose, Abandoned Coral and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide inks. I stamped the beautiful rose with Villainous Potion Distress Oxide ink.

I also stamped with sentiment with the Villainous Potion Distress Oxide ink.

I die cut the card front with the largest Postage Stamp {nesting die} from the kit and adhered it to a white A2 top fold card base. I finished off the card with a few translucent enamel dots. You can check out my process video here... Lovely Reminder Card | Feb2022 Whit Kit | Unity Stamp Co.

Done in Love ~ February 2022 Whit Kit Lovely Reminder ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Life has been so crazy busy lately and I've been neglecting my inky time. I can tell when I don't get much inky time because my mood changes... I seriously rely on my inky time to keep me sane. With that said... I finally found some time to play and I pulled out my February 2022 Whit Kit! I've been seriously excited to play with this kit because of the envelope stamp in the kit, but I didn't even ink it up! LOL!

When time is short I love to make pretty CAS cards! I also love to stamp on Kraft card stock. Now when I made this card I had a pretty good idea of what I was going to do, but I ended up changing a few things. One of those ideas was to do some white acrylic paint splatter on the large background behind the rose.

That's why I stamped the rose on a scrap of Kraft card stock and die cut it with the coordinating die. It still gives it some dimension on the card. I also planned to use a satin ribbon that matches the ink, but it wasn't working with the edges from the Postage Stamp {nesting dies}. So I opted for some burlap string!

And to finish off the card I added a few translucent enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs. The large panel and the sentiment are both popped up with foam tape. If you're interested to see my process you can check it out in my process video here... Done in Love Card | Feb2022 Whit Kit Lovely Reminder | Unity Stamp Co.

Be sure to check out the Whit Kit membership at Unity... the February 2022 Whit Kit is still available for just a couple more days!! If you already have the kit, I hope you share your creations in the Unity Show & Tell Facebook group! I'll be back tomorrow with another card using this fantastic kit!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
