Unity Advent Calendar 2024 Day 22 ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

It's Day 22 of the 2024 Advent Calendar from Unity!! Just a couple days to Christmas! What's on your agenda?! I need to finish wrapping gifts! Yikes!

Today's stamp is a super cute snowman. I stamped him with Black Amalgam ink. And fussy cut him leaving a bit of a border around the top of the snowman but I cut on the line for the bottom. Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used: C00, C1, C3, B000, B00, B91, YR21, YR15, Y28.

You can check out my video revealing the Advent Calendar Day 22 stamp and my process in making this card here... Unity Advent Calendar 2024 Day 22 | Unity Stamp Co.

Inspiration for my card came from the {BYSHC} Sketch 34! I had fun with this sketch! 

A sweet holiday card and it's a fun fold!! The card opens in the center just under the snowman's hands.

I paired up the cute snowman with the Snowy Winter Greetings {paper pack}. The sweet sentiment is from the Simple Little Wishes {itty bitty} stamps.

I'll be back tomorrow for Day 23 of the 2024 Advent Calendar from Unity!

Have an inkredible day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Back Fold Cat Card | Purr-ty Cats | Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

I saw a super fun card the other day on either Instagram or Facebook... not sure. Anywho, it had a super fun fold called the back fold so I just had to try it.

And the awesome new Purr-ty Cats were just the ticket for this back fold design. Each of the kitties is stamped with Black Amalgam ink from Gina K. Designs on Stampers Select White card stock from Papertrey Ink. 

They're each die cut with a circle die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. The black circle mat is also die cut with a slightly larger die from the same set.

I paired up the kitties with the Timeworn Paws Anthology {paper pack}. The circles and sentiment are lightly distressed with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Here's a look at the fold. I finished off the card with some enamel dots from Spellbinders and a panel inside the card.

You can check out my process video for this card here... Back Fold Cat Card | Purr-ty Cats | Unity Stamp Co.

And a look at the inside. This was such a fun card to make and SO EASY!!

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!

I used the following Copic markers to color up the snowman:

Snowman ~ B0000, B000

Nose ~ YR21, YR15, YR68

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

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 26 ~ Winter Birdie Swag ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm so excited to share my weekly Christmas card using the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 26 today because it's an adorable new Christmas stamp that was just released at Unity Stamp Co. and it's called Winter Birdie Swag! Isn't he just THE cutest bird?!? I just adore him!

I paired him up with the Simple Vintage Country Christmas 6x8 paper pad from Simple Stories. I think the polka dots worked well with the pom poms on his hat and the berries on the tree. And to break up the pretty polka dots I went with a red sentiment paper. The 1/8" strips of the green paper add just a touch more green to compliment the green from the polka dots.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used to color up this sweet bird:

Bird ~ W00, W1, W3

Hat ~ YG11, G24, G46

Pom Poms ~ C00, C2, C3

Branch ~ E55, E57, E59

Berries ~ R20, R14, R27

I die cut the cute Winter Birdie Swag with a die from the X Stitched Circles dies from Gina Marie Designs. Now I had some fun with Sketch 26 this time and made it into a Fun Fold Card... yay!! I just love how it turned out too! I think you can see the bit of shadow under the right side of the focal piece... the card opens on that side and the polka dot paper continues under there on another flap for the card. I did a little boomerang video showing the card opened. You can see that below.

Such a fun twist on the sketch! The card base measures 5-1/2 x 11"; scored at 3-1/2" and 7-3/4".

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch 26 for the month of September!

I hope you'll join us and play along with the sketch! 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'll be back next week with my weekly Christmas card using this fun sketch!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Love Puppies & Muddy Paws Background | Flap Fold Card | Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a sweet card I made for the new release over at Unity Stamp Co.!! Eeep! I adore the sweet pups in the Love Puppies stamp set!! You have got to check them out! Anywho, I made a Flap Fold Card to feature this sweet pup in one of my favorite color combos... kraft, black, white and red!

Those cute little paws on the puppers inspired the Flap Fold for this card. I've been wanting to do one and it just seemed perfect when I saw this cutie! The card base is the same 4-1/4 x 11" size that I would typically use for an A2 card, but I've scored it at 1-3/4 and 7-1/4" to create the fold.

I die cut the Muddy Paw background that was stamped in Black Amalgam ink on the Kraft card stock with the stitched rectangle die from the Blueprints 15 dies from My Favorite Things. I then mat the layer with Real Red card stock measuring 3-3/4 x 5". The sweet pup was also stamped with Black Amalgam ink and then colored with the following Copic markers ~ N0, N1, N2, N3, N6, N10, E34, E37, R000, R14, R27. I fussy cut the pup and set it aside. I stamped the image two more times on scrap card stock and cut inside the lines... I then adhered all those layers together to make the pup a bit more sturdy on the card. 

This is the card when it's setting open. Pretty stinking cute, if you ask me! lol

You can check out how I created this card here... Flap Fold Card | Love Puppies & Muddy Paws!

One more little look at this cutie pie before you go! I just adore this sweet stamp! Be sure to check out the new releases over at Unity!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Halloween Series 2020 ~ Fun Fold & Memory Dex Cards ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today, I'm sharing a couple Halloween cards that I've created for my Halloween Series on my YouTube channel ~ Tawny Owl Paperie! I've used the adorable Happy Owl'oween kit from Unity Stamp Co. to create a Fun Fold card and a Memory Dex card.

Aren't they just the cutest?! I adore this sweet owl ghost! 

Such a fun stamp to work with for Halloween cards!

Here's a look at the front of the Fun Fold card. I created a scene using the fun Spooky Days papers, also from Unity Stamp Co.

And I even stamped the cute owl ghost inside the card!

I had so much fun creating this card!

I actually made this adorable Memory Dex card first. This is the first Memory Dex card I've made for my spinner. I can't wait to make a whole bunch more! I've used the same Spooky Days papers and the adorable owl ghost again from Happy Owl'oween.

I also used a piece of Pumpkin Party Chit Chat die cut pieces by Doodlebug Design and some adorable Shape Sprinkles eyes by Doodlebug Design for Simon Says Stamp that I received in a Crafty Parcel box a couple of years ago. The perfect touches to finish off my Memory Dex card!

I used the following Copic Markers for these cards:

Owl ~ C00, C1, C3, W00, W0, W2, W4, YR15, YR15, YR68, YR27

Treat Bag {Memory Dex} ~ V01, V05, N1, N2, N4

Scrapping for Less ~ Easy Fun Fold Card with Winter Fairies

Hey there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a couple of easy Fun Fold cards using the adorable Winter Fairies and Winter Fairy House stamp sets, along with the recently release Neutrals Vol. 1 paper pad! I love using non-traditional colors for my Christmas cards and this new paper was perfect for the card I'm sharing today! 

So this one piece of paper in particular looks like snowflakes to me... I thought it would be really cute for a Christmas card. What do you think?

A close-up of the copic coloring. I used the following Copic markers for this card:

Hair ~ E21, E23, E27

And my Copic Coloring of the Winter Fairies fairy here... Copic Coloring of Fairy 

I actually made this Fun Fold Card first, but I added SO many layers that I wanted to make a quicker version to share with you all so I made a more CAS card. But how adorable is this one!! I really love the soft pinks and greens and I pulled those colors from the beautiful Winter in Pink paper pad... one of my absolute fave papers for Christmas!!

I used the same stamp sets for this card... Winter Fairies, Winter Fairy House, and Christmas Sentiments.

And the inside... Ahhh-dorable!!! Am I right?! I created a little scene with the Winter Fairy House and the cute fairy snoozing on the moon. 

Here's a close-up of the inside.
