Pet Sympathy Card on Kraft ~ Somewhere Over the Rainbow Bundle ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

I'm back with another card featuring goodies from the awesome Brown Thursday Sale over at Unity!!! What's Brown Thursday, you ask? Well, it's Unity's version of Black Friday and it's filled with a HUGE new release and a fabulous sale! Today I'm sharing another pet sympathy card.

Not one bit of coloring for this card! Just some fun ink blending with my oxide inks. I used Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks for the rainbow along with the fabulous Somewhere Over the Rainbow Stencil. I absolutely love how the rows of the rainbow alternate on the stencil... so smart for blending over!!

I die cut the rainbow panel with the largest die from the Deckle & Stitches Nesting Dies. I blended a little bit of Lost Shadow Distress Oxide ink around the clouds on the Somewhere Over the Rainbow Stencil. I fussy cut them leaving a little bit of a white border around the edges. I stamped the cute pup silhouette from the Somewhere Over the Rainbow stamps with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink and fussy cut him as well. The clouds and pup are adhered together and then popped up with foam tape.

You can check out my process video for this card here... Pet Sympathy Card on Kraft | Somewhere Over the Rainbow Bundle | Unity Stamp Co.

The sentiment is heat embossed with white pigment ink, white embossing powder and melted with a heat tool. Head over to Unity and check out all the awesome releases! It's a HUGE release friends! And it's the BIGGEST SALE of the year! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Paw Print Sympathy Card ~ Somewhere Over the Rainbow Stencil ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

The awesome Brown Thursday Sale over at Unity Stamp Co. is here!!! What's Brown Thursday, you ask? Well, it's Unity's version of Black Friday and it's filled with a HUGE new release and a fabulous sale! Today I'm sharing a sweet pet sympathy card that was quick to make featuring the sweet Somewhere Over the Rainbow Stencil!

The paw prints are heat embossed with Wow! Clear Embossing Ink, a Catherine Pooler Designs Detail Blending Brush, Hero Arts Fine Clear Embossing Powder and melted with a Wagner Precision Heat Tool. The sentiment from the Somewhere Over the Rainbow stamps was also heat embossed but with a combo of Taylored Expressions Sugar Cube Pigment Ink, Brutus Monroe Alabaster White Embossing Powder and the same heat tool. I also used the TE Anti-Static Powder Tool to prep the card stock before I heat embossed.

I blended Kitsch Flamingo and Peacock Feather Distress Inks over the embossed paw prints. And I did a bit of water spatters to cover up the messy embossed spots around a couple of the paws. I embossed the sentiment after blending the inks. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the sentiment... poor planning, I guess. LOL

You can check out my process video for this card here... Paw Print Sympathy Card | Somewhere Over the Rainbow Stencil | Unity Stamp Co.

I die cut the panel using the largest die from the Deckle & Stitches Nesting Dies. This was such a quick card to make! I love how it turned out. I hope you have an inktastic day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Brown Thursday IG Hop ~ Juniper Girl ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

Have you seen the awesome Brown Thursday Sale over at Unity Stamp Co.!?! What's Brown Thursday, you ask? Well, it's Unity's version of Black Friday and it's filled with a HUGE new release and a fabulous sale! I shared a lovely encouragement card yesterday featuring a new release. Today I'm sharing a cute holiday card for the Brown Thursday Instagram Hop that the Unity Design Team is having in celebration of Brown Thursday! Head over to IG and check it out... there's prizes!!

A super fun and cute holiday card featuring the adorable new Juniper Girl!! I love this beautiful new girl! I stamped her on a piece of Stampers Select white card stock from Papertrey Ink along with the sentiment. I colored Juniper Girl up with my Copic markers and fussy cut her leaving a white border.  I die cut the sentiment using a die from the Scalloped & Stitched Sentiment Nesting Dies. I also die cut a mat from Pure Poppy card stock, also from Papertrey Ink.

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

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Hair: E33, E35, E37

Hat / Scarf: C00, C2, R20, R14, R27

Cup: C00, C2, G00, G12, G05

Coat: E40, E81, E43, E35, E37

Pants: E30, E33

Shoes: E30, E33, E35, E37

Tree: YG11, G24, G46

Ornaments: Y00, Y11, Y15, R20, R14, R27, G00, G12, G05

I paired up Juniper Girl with the gorgeous Watercolor Tidings {paper pack}. I die cut a piece of Pure Poppy card stock using the largest die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}. And then adhered the pretty papers. I fussy cut Juniper Girl leaving a white border and adhered her on the panel. The panel is adhered to a Kraft A2 top fold card base.

Inspiration for my card today comes from the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 27. When I'm stuck on a design it's so handy to just look through my stack of sketches to see what inspires me. I couldn't help but use the current sketch... it's so easy!

I wanted to add a 'Merry Christmas' sentiment so I die cut the Merry Christmas from the Greetings of the Season {die set} from Pure Poppy card stock three times. I adhered them all together for some wonderful dimension. I die cut the shadow from Vellum card stock, also from Papertrey Ink. I love how the vellum makes the sentiment pop but it doesn't take away from the image I colored. Well, that's it for me today! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Crystal

 Hello there crafty friend!

I have a sweet holiday card to share today featuring a super cute snowman stamp called Cozy Greetings from Unity Stamp Co. The Brown Thursday sale is now the Black Friday sale and the amazing deals continue!!

I paired up this cutie with the Cozy Christmas {paper pack}... doesn't he just look all cozy like he's cuddled up in blankets! Ha!

This is actually a fun fold card so the edge where the cute snowman is peeking out is where the card opens up.

Nose ~ YR21, YR15, YR68

Hat / Mittens / Scarf ~ C00, C2, R20, R14, R37

Ink Smooshed Butterfly Cards ~ Wings & Petals Ledger ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today's the last day to order from the Brown Thursday Sale over at Unity Stamp Co. I'm sharing the two cards I made using the beautiful Wings & Petals Ledger background stamp from the Brown Thursday release!!

Both of these cards were so quick and easy... I inked smooshed a card front with Squeezed Lemonade, Evergreen Bough and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide inks. 

Once I was happy with the ink smooshed background and dried it completely with my heat tool, I stamped the beautiful Wings & Petals Ledger over top with Ranger Jet Black Archival ink.

I trimmed the background to 3-7/16 x 4-11/16" and adhered it to a piece of white card stock die cut with the largest die from the Pleated Lace Rectangles dies from Gina Marie Designs.

For this background I just ink smooshed Squeezed Lemonade and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide inks. I really love these two colors together!

I trimmed this background to the same size I mentioned earlier. Once I had the backgrounds adhered to the die cut panels, I adhered them both to True Black card fronts. I love how the black background brings the stamped images into focus!

The 'happy birthday' sentiment is die cut using the beautiful Chic Script Salutations {die set}... which is currently on sale during Black Friday but it ends today!! I die cut both words four times and adhered two pairs together to give the sentiment a bit of dimension. I do think I'll die cut it one more time in black for my second card and adhere it on top of the white. It seems to get a bit lost in the background but I think if it's black it'll pop more. Head over to Unity and check out the amazing sale before it ends!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Crystal
