Celebrating Unity's 15th Birthday ~ Planner Gal: Simply Perfect Birthday ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

We are celebrating Unity's 15th Birthday ALL month!! Woot Woot! Happy Birthday Unity!!

The party kicks off today with an actual Live Release Party on the Unity Stamp Co. page. So excited! I thought it was fitting to celebrate with a birthday card.

I used the sweet new Planner Gal: Simply Perfect Birthday. Isn't she the cutest?! I stamped her with Black Amalgam ink on white cardstock and colored her up with the following Copic markers:

Skin ~ E000, E00, E11

Hair ~ E42, E44, E49

Dress ~ RV000, RV10, RV32, RV14

Crown ~ Y11, Y06, Y35

Cake / Flower / Stand ~ Y06, Y35, RV10, RV14, G24, G99, C00, C1, C3

Outline ~ C00, C1

I also used the wonderful new Falling Confetti Layering Stencil for my background. Blended a bit of Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink over the stencil to create my pretty background. Die cut the background using the largest die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}. I adhered it to a white A2 top fold card that I turned on it's side for a horizontal card.

I found a couple strips of pattern paper from the Birthday Party {paper pack}, along with a couple strips of Sweet Sugarplum card stock from Stampin' Up. I adhered them to the Confetti background. I die cut the sweet birthday girl with the smallest die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies} and adhered her over the scraps. I also die cut the sentiment with the smallest circle die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. I finished off the card by adding a few Taffy Purple Pearls from Gina Marie Designs.

The TOP Inky Inspiration Sketch 11 inspired my card for today. It's a great sketch for those scraps and bits of pretty paper we have in our stash.

 

I hope you'll stop by Unity and check out the new releases and the wonderful sale!! Have a wonderful evening friends!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Crystal

Cozy Mini Slimline Card ~ Planner Gal: Liquid Hug ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's time for Part Two of the fabulous Brown Thursday... ahem, I mean Brown Tuesday Sale!! Woohoo!! Today I'm sharing a cozy coffee card using the sweet new release called Planner Gal: Liquid Hug and I've paired her up with papers from a few different paper packs... all from Unity!!

I wanted to go with a more rustic comfy vibe so I chose the pretty snowflake papers from the Brilliant Blizzard {paper pack} for her jammies. And I've been in a Kraft mood lately so I grabbed the falling snow papers from the Krafty Deck the Halls {paper pack}. I die cut it with the Wonky Stitched Mini Slimline die from Gina Marie Designs and then mat it with a slightly larger piece of red card stock.

Now to keep with the rustic comfy vibe I chose the plaid paper from the Cozy Christmas {paper pack}. I die cut the Planner Gal with a Scalloped Stitched Mini Slimline die from Gina Marie Designs and adhered all of my layers. I wrapped the layers with {Ivory} May Art Burlap string, tied a pretty bow and popped it up on the 7 x 6-1/2" white card base, scored at 3-1/2".

I did a mix of paper piecing and copic coloring for the sweet Planner Gal: Liquid Hug. Here's the list of Copic markers I used to color up the stamped image.

Skin ~ E000, E00, E11

Hair ~ E23, E27, E50

T-shirt ~ C1

Watch ~ BG0000, BG01, C1

Mug ~ R14, R20, R27, E23, E27

I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it and mat it on red. I colored up the coffee beans and heart just a touch with E23 and R14. I added a couple enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs from the Cozy Flannel enamel dots pack. Loving how this card turned out!

And I'm entering it in the fabulous Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers Hop!

Be sure to check out the amazing new releases over at Unity Stamp Company and the awesome sale!! The Brown Thursday sale is always amazing!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal

Unity Stamp Company ~ Planner Gal: Thinking About Wine... or Tea?!

Hello crafty friends!

Today, I have a few cards to share using the beautiful new Planner Gal: Thinking About Wine kit... this kit is the current freebie with a $75+ order at Unity Stamp Company. I had so much

fun coloring her up that I just couldn't seem to stop making cards!!

My first card using some of my precious hoard of Basic Grey papers Perhaps... I can't believe I cut into these!! But I sure love how this card turned out! I used the Outside In Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Stackables by Lawn Fawn. I used the following Copic markers:

Skin ~ E000, E00, E21

Hair ~ E55, E57, E59

Clothes ~ V91, V93, V95, N0, N1

Wine Glass/Bottle ~ RV91, RV95, R12, YR00, N0, N1 

For this card, I used the Stampin' Up! Painted with Love Specialty DSP. I die cut the background piece with a stitched rectangle die and the hearts paper with the Memory Box Wrapped Scalloped Rectangles die. I popped up the main focal panel and adhered the fussy cut girl directly on the paper.

I used the following Copic markers for this card:

Skin ~ E000, E00, E21

Hair ~ Y21, YR12, YR14, E15, E18

Clothes ~ R12, R22, N0, N1

Watch - BG23, N1

For my last card, I used the same SU! papers as the second card and the same dies as the first card. I adhered my layers on a Kraft card base, popping up the center scalloped panel using foam tape. I stamped the sentiment from Beau-Tea-Ful Friend onto Kraft card stock using VersaMark watermark ink and heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. 

I fussy cut the image and popped it up on the card using dimensionals. I colored in the tea mug from the recently released Hot Mess {border backgrounds} and fussy cut it out.

I used the following Copic markers for this card:

Skin ~ E000, E00, E21

Hair ~ Y21, YR12, YR14, E15

Clothes ~ N0, N1, BG11, BG23

Tea Mug ~ Y06, YR15, YR21

For my last touch on this card, I added a few little pearls from Little Things from Lucy's Cards ~ Crystal Collection ~ Harmony Sparkly Shaker Mix.

I love how these three cards turned out! Such a fun kit to play with!

See ya next time.
