Advent Calendar 2025 Day 12 ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

It's Day 12 of the 2025 Advent Calendar from Unity!! I have a cute card for today's advent stamp.

How fun is this cute world stamp?! And the sweet heart?! Love it!

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

Heart: RV10, RV14 Water: BG000, BG10 Land: YG11, YG03 Outline: C1, C0

You can check out my video revealing the Advent Calendar Day 12 stamp and my process in making this card here... Unity Advent Calendar 2025 Day 12 | Unity Stamp Co.

Inspiration for my card came from the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 19! Another fun sketch that's quick and easy!

I die cut the world using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. It's popped up on the card with foam tape.

I paired up the sweet world with the Cloud Hopper Chronicles {paper pack}. And the wonderful sentiment is from the Hope in the Heavy - In the Light stamps. I just love the sentiments in this new set.

I'll be back tomorrow for Day 13 of the 2025 Advent Calendar from Unity!

Have an INKtastic day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Light Still Lives Here ~ Hope in the Heavy with Cottage Lane ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

Sometimes life is hard and the darkness seems to take over... I pray you look to the light in the moment because it's there. Today I'm sharing sweet reminder that the light still lives here using two new releases from Unity. 

I stamped the gorgeous Cottage Lane background stamp on Kraft card stock and colored it with Copic markers and a white Prismacolor pencil. And then I die cut it using the largest die from the Deckle & Stitches Nesting Dies. Once the background was dry, I added some white acrylic paint spatters. I adhered the dried panel to a white A2 top fold card base.

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

Browns: E21, E25

Greens: YG63

Chimney: N2

Shadows for the White Areas: C0, C2

Have you played along with our Creating a Background Challenge happening right now in the Unity Show & Tell Facebook group? Background stamps are a great way to create a background for a card. I sure hope you'll join us. There's (3) $25 gift cards up for grabs... all you've got to do is enter a card where you've created a background for a chance to win one of the prizes.

I stamped the lovely sentiment from the Hope in the Heavy stamps. I trimmed it and popped it up on the card with foam tape. Hope you've been inspired to play along with the Creating a Background Challenge. We'd love to have you join in the fun! And I hope my encouraging card has brought some light to you if your feeling like you're in the darkness. Hugs.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 31 ~ Love Stays, No Matter What ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's time for a brand new sketch challenge! Woohoo! Today I'm sharing my first card for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 31 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I inked up the wonderful new stamp from Unity's In the Light collection called Love Stays, No Matter What. 10% of sales from the In the Light line of stamps will be donated to various mental health and addiction movements, as well as families facing these battles.

Something about this girl just spoke to me. I needed to have her in my collection. I think she'll be great for encouragement cards. I stamped the girl and sentiment with Amalgam Black ink on Stampers Select White card stock and colored her up with Copic Markers.

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

Skin: E000, E00, E21

Hair: E43, E44

Shirt: YG21, YG03

Jeans: B91, B95, B97

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 31. 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'm just realizing that this one is just slightly different from the one last month... LOL! Oh well. I think it's still fun!

I paired up this girl with the Rainbow Wishes {paper pack}. I thought the colors were nice with this image and the patterns are cheerful. 

I think this will be a really fun sketch to play with for the next four weeks! Lots of possibilities! I hope you can find time to play along. I can't wait to see what you create. Have an ink-tastic week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
