Membership Wednesday ~ September 2026 KOM Cozy, Merry & Slightly Unhinged ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a cute tag featuring a stamp from the September 2026 Kit of the Month membership from Unity Stamp Co. called Cozy, Merry & Slightly Unhinged. 

These adorable stamps that are also available separately as the Holiday Hide & Peek stamps are just the perfect size for tags! I just adore this cute reindeer! I stamped him with Black Amalgam ink from Gina K. Designs and colored him up with Copic markers.

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

Reindeer: E21, E23

Antlers: E21, E23, E25

Ears: R00, R20

Nose: R20, R14, R27

Feet: N1, N3, N5

Hat: C0, C2, R20, R14, R27

Ornaments: Y15, Y28, YG11, G24, G46

I paired up the cute reindeer with pattern paper from the Minty Christmas {paper pack}. This piece of pattern paper actually came in the freebie goodie bag with my KOM membership. I die cut the reindeer and the pattern papers using dies from the Make A Tag {die set}.

I kept the tag pretty simple with just the two layers and punched a hole with my 1/8" handheld hole punch. I tied a piece of twine from the freebie goodie bag that came with my KOM membership. I finished it off with the trimmed sentiment and a snowflake embellishment from my stash.

Here's a look at the Kit of the Month membership stamps. 

This adorable stamp kit is available separately here... Holiday Hide & Peek.

That's it for me today! I hope you've been INKspired to play with your membership stamps! 

Have a fabulous day!

Membership Wednesday ~ September 2026 BOM Christmas Made Beautiful ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a pretty card featuring the September 2026 Background of the Month membership from Unity Stamp Co. called Christmas Made Beautiful. Sometimes it's fun to think outside of the box. Just because a stamp is called a background stamp doesn't mean it's only for backgrounds.

I really love the smaller sprig and berries that are included in the set. I wanted to feature those for a very simple background and then just use a portion of the background stamp. I couldn't help but add a vintage flair to the card with some distressing using the residual ink on my brown blending brush.

All of the stamped images are stamped with Black Amalgam ink on white card stock. I colored them with some Copic markers and then I added the distressing around the edges and a bit in the middle too to soften the white background.

Copic markers used:

Poinsettia: RV000, RV10, RV02, YG00, Y11, Y15, Y38

Pinecone: E21, E25

Pine Needles / Sprigs: YG11, G24, G46

Berries: R20, R05, R27

Distressed Grids: E000, E11

The background is die cut using the largest scallop die from the BIG Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}. The circle layers are die cut using dies from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. I adhered the lovely sentiment to the circle and then popped them both up with foam tape. And then I finished off the card with a few confetti pieces from the Luminous Whisper Pink Card Bling from A Colorful Life Designs.

Here's a look at the Background of the Month membership stamps. This fabulous stamp is also available as a one-time purchase if you're not interested in the monthly membership. 

That's it for me today! I hope you've been INKspired to play with your membership stamps! 

Have a fabulous day!

I colored them up with Copic markers and fussy cut them out to adhere to the circle I die cut using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}.

Dog: E000, E11, E15

The background layer is die cut using the largest die from the Postage Stamp Nesting Dies. The cute hearts are die cut using the smallest die from the Dashes and Frills Hearts {die set}. And I finished off the card with a few pink confetti pieces from my stash.

Membership Wednesday ~ August 2026 KOM First Days to Festive Nights ~ Eventually Yours ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a belated birthday card with the cute snail from the August 2026 Kit of the Month called First Days to Festive Nights. I adore this cutie!

I stamped the fun snail from this month's KOM with Black Amalgam ink and colored him up with Copic markers. This cutie is also available separately in the Eventually Yours stamps.

Copic markers used:

Purple: V000, V12, V15

Green: YG11, YG03, YG63

Party Noise Maker: YR20, YR15, YR68

Present: BG000, BG10, BG34, R20, R14, R27

Ground: C0, C2

I was inspired by the past Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 10. I thought this was a fun design with some quick and easy layers. I love revisiting sketches!

I paired up Mister Snail with the Oh Hey! It's Your Day! {paper pack}. The colors in these papers are just gorgeous! I love to use them and probably need to order another pack soon. LOL! I used a couple scraps for my card. The polka dot papers measure 4-1/4 x 1-1/4" and the kraft mat measures 4-1/4 x 1-1/2".

I die cut a piece of red card stock using a die from the Postage Stamp Nesting Dies. I trimmed my striped pattern paper to fit just inside the stitches on the die cut paper. It measures 3-1/8 x 4-3/16". I adhered all of my layers onto a Kraft A2 top fold card base and popped up the fussy cut snail with foam tape. I trimmed the sentiment and adhered it directly to the polka dot paper to finish off the card.

Here's a look at the Kit of the Month membership stamps. 

The adorable snail is also available separately in the Eventually Yours stamps.

That's it for me today! I hope you've been INKspired to play with your membership stamps!

I die cut the scrap pieces of the other pattern papers for my wallpaper and floor using an oval die from the Scallops & Ovals {nesting dies}. I also die cut the larger oval mat from Kraft card stock using the largest die from the same die set.

I added a strip of kraft card stock as my baseboard to break up the wallpaper and floor. I fussy cut around the ladies and adhered them to the oval. I trimmed up the sentiment and adhered it to the oval and then I popped up the whole piece using a bunch of foam tape. I finished off the card with some touches of glitter on the ribbon and the pink band around the burgundy dress using a Sakura Gelly Roll Clear Stardust pen.

Membership Wednesday ~ July 2026 BOM Daisy Defined ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a little inspiration for the fun Color Challenge that the Friends of Unity are hosting in the Unity Show & Tell Facebook group. Red, White & Blue is the color combo and I wondered how it would look with the fab Background of the Month stamp from Unity!

I started with my background for this one. I debated back and forth and back and forth and just finally went with red only for my background. I felt like if I did blue and red on the background maybe it would be too 4th of July-like. I used Candied Apple and Barn Door Distress Inks for my ink smooshing.

My card design was inspired by TOP Inky Inspiration Sketch 45 that just started yesterday in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I'm having fun with this sketch already!

I adhered the ink smooshed background to a light blue card base. And then I stamped the Daisy Defined background stamp on white card stock with Black Amalgam ink. I looked at it for a really long time trying to decide what to do. Haha... like really long. I walked away and folded the towels in the dryer. I needed a minute to focus on something else. When I came back I had the idea to color the daisies with a touch a blue but keep them mostly white. I really like how they turned out. There's also the tiniest hint of yellow in the center and green on the stems. Copic Markers used: C0, C2, B000, B00, B02, Y000, G000.

I stamped the daisies again on another piece of white card stock and ink smooshed them with the same two red distress inks. I die cut them with the largest die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. I fussy cut the colored daisies on the line and colored the edges with a black marker. And then I paper pieced them onto the ink smooshed circle. The ink smooshed layers needed something in between to break them up so I die cut a circle of the light blue card stock using a slightly larger circle die from my stash. I cut a banner from the light blue card stock and then fussy cut the sentiment and adhered them onto the circle and then I popped up the whole thing on the card with foam tape.

Here's a look at the Background of the Month membership stamps. This fabulous stamp is also available as a one-time purchase if you're not interested in the monthly membership. 

That's it for me today! I hope you've been INKspired to play with your membership stamps! 

Have a fabulous day!

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 44 ~ Membership Wednesday ~ July 2026 KOM Ahead of the Holiday Herd Card 2 ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 44 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I just adore The Creepy Peekies stamps from this month's KOM called Ahead of the Holiday Herd.

I stamped the cute mummy from the July 2026 KOM called Ahead of the Holiday Herd on white card stock using Black Amalgam ink from Gina K. Designs. I die cut the mummy using a die from the Scallops & Squares {nesting dies}. And then I did some coloring with my Copic markers.

Copic markers used:

Mummy: YG00, YG11

Eyes / Cloth: C0, C2

Wall: E04, E39

Grass: YG11, YG03

Ground: YG91, YG67

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 44. 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 flipped the sketch to work with the stamp and I added a second sentiment for the circle accent this time.

I paired up the fun mummy with papers from the Spooky Days {paper pack}. I used the measurements from the sketch for my background layers. Oops! I omitted the 1/8" strip. I cut it but I guess I forgot to adhere it to the card. Haha. The happy Halloween sentiment is from the Little Boos stamps.

All of the layers are adhered directly to a white A2 top fold card base. I adhered the mummy layer to a black scalloped mat that I die cut using a die from the same die set. I adhered the sentiments to the square focal image and popped them all up with foam tape finishing off the card.

Here's a look at the Kit of the Month membership stamps. A full 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of fabulous red rubber stamps!!

Don't want the whole kit... these cute stamps are also available separately in The Creepy Peekies stamps.

That's it for me today! I hope you've been INKspired to play with your membership stamps! And if you're inspired to play along with the TOPII Sketch 44, I sure hope you'll enter your card into the challenge album. Have a fantastic day!

I stamped the cute kitty from the July 2026 KOM called Ahead of the Holiday Herd on white card stock using Black Amalgam ink from Gina K. Designs. I die cut the cat using a die from the Scallops & Squares {nesting dies}. And then I did some coloring with my Copic markers.

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 44. 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. My focal image is much bigger this time but I think the sketch is still apparent in my design.

I paired up the cute kitty, also available separately in the Self Care Satire stamps, with the Fabulous Enough {paper pack}. I used the measurements from the sketch for my background layers. And trimmed a 1/8" strip of black card stock to cover the line where the papers meet. The cute heart is die cut from one of the pattern papers in the pack using a die from the Dashes and Frills Hearts {die set}.

All of the layers are adhered directly to a white A2 top fold card base except for the sentiment and the heart. I popped those up with foam tape.

Membership Wednesday ~ June 2026 KOM The Art of Summering ~ Time for a Pause ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! It's been over a week since I've had any inky time. *GASP* I know! I hurt my back a couple weeks ago and it's being very temperamental when I sit for too long. So crafting hasn't been viable. But today I just HAD to get some crafty time in and I kept my card simple so I wouldn't be sitting for long.

I stamped the adorable pup on Kraft card stock using Black Amalgam ink from Gina K. Designs. I die cut the pup using a die from the Scallops & Squares {nesting dies}. And then I did some coloring with my Copic markers. I also added touches of white using a Prismacolor white pencil.

Copic markers used:

Tree Trunks: E11, E23, E25

Hammock: R20, R14, Y11, Y21

Pup: E11, E23, E57, C0, C2, N1, N3, N5

Sky: BG000, BG10

Grass: G00, G02

My color choices were actually inspired by the Timeworn Paws Anthology {paper pack}. I had every intention of using the papers on the card but decided for more of a CAS design. I actually had the die cut heart background in my scraps... seemed perfect for this card. I die cut it using the Fall Out Hearts Background Die. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing that die on the Unity website. 

I stamped the sentiment. Die cut it using a die from the Scalloped & Stitched Sentiment Nesting Dies and then adhered it directly to the A2 card. I popped up the puppy layer with foam tape finishing it off.

Here's a look at the Kit of the Month membership stamps. 

This cute stamp is also available separately in the Time for a Pause stamps.

That's it for me today! I hope you've been INKspired to play with your membership stamps! 

Have a fabulous day!
