Advent Calendar 2025 Day 16 ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

It's Day 16 of the 2025 Advent Calendar from Unity!! I have a sweet friendship card to share today featuring today's beautiful stamp along with Day 8 and Day 15.

Love this sweet fairy stamp! And she looks so nice accompanied by the flower stamps from Day 8 and Day 15.

You can check out my video revealing the Advent Calendar Day 16 stamp and my process in making this card here... Unity Advent Calendar 2025 Day 16 | Unity Stamp Co.

Inspiration for my card came from the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 38! This fun sketch challenge is going on right now and there's still plenty of time to play along! I hope you'll join us in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group and play along with the challenge!

I die cut the fairy using a die from the Scallops & Squares {nesting dies}. The flowers were also stamped on a die cut using the same die.

Copic Markers: Skin: E00, E11 Wings / Dress / Blue Flower: B000, B02, B97 Yellow Flower: Y11, Y35 Red Flowers: R20, R14 Stems / Leaves / Grass: YG11, YG03 Sky: B000

I paired up the pretty fairy and flowers with the Kindness is Magic {paper pack}. I think it's a fun pairing of stamp and papers. I love the colors in these papers! The fun sentiment is from the Being Yourself stamp {unfortunately, it looks like this one is retired}.

I'll be back tomorrow for Day 17 of the 2025 Advent Calendar from Unity!

Have an inkredible day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Advent Calendar 2025 Day 15 ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

It's Day 15 of the 2025 Advent Calendar from Unity!! I have a fun granny hexagon card to share today.

Today's stamp is a another wonderful flower. I bet this pretty stamp would look lovely with the flower from day 8. Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used: R20, R14, Y11, Y35, YG11, YG63, G99.

You can check out my video revealing the Advent Calendar Day 15 stamp and my process in making this card here... Unity Advent Calendar 2025 Day 15 | Unity Stamp Co.

Inspiration for my card came from the {BYSHC} Sketch 46! I really had fun with this simple sketch!

I found the perfect sentiment for this cute card from the Distance stamps. A lovely sentiment for a lovely flower!

I paired up the beautiful flower with the Sunday at Grandma's {paper pack}. This was such a fun card to make! It reminds me of a blanket I had as a child.

I'll be back tomorrow for Day 16 of the 2024 Advent Calendar from Unity!

Have an inktastic day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Advent Calendar 2025 Day 8 ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

It's Day 8 of the 2025 Advent Calendar from Unity!! I am loving all the stamps so far! What's your favorite? It's getting tough to choose just one... but I think the snowman is still my fave. Though today's beautiful flower is a close second. 

Today's flower stamp is so beautiful!! I love it! I colored it up with just a few Copic markers: R00, YR02, R22, Y11, Y35, YG63 & G99.

You can check out my video revealing the Advent Calendar Day 8 stamp and my process in making this card here... Unity Advent Calendar 2025 Day 8 | Unity Stamp Co.

Inspiration for my card came from the {BYSHC} Sketch 18! This is a fun sketch to play with and easy to adapt if needed... which I needed after my oopsie cut! LOL!

The fabulous sentiment strip is from my stash. It's from Unity but I have no clue when I got it. Maybe it was a freebie in one of my orders... not totally sure. I found it on the website here - Cut Apart Sentiment Strips.

I paired up the flower with the Grit & Grace {paper pack}. These papers are gorgeous! I love them so much!

I'll be back tomorrow for Day 9 of the 2025 Advent Calendar from Unity!

Have an INKtastic day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Release Day Blog Hop ~ Maddox the Dog ~ The Greeting Farm

The August 2025 New Release is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! This month we introduced 3 new stamp sets. EMOJI COUPLE is an extra fun set featuring a studious Anya and Ian, along with Emoji signs so you can personalize your projects with feelings. Next, we showcased MADDOX THE DOG which comes with a studious pup carrying a stack of books, a helpful dog holding a letter, and a cheerful standing canine full of charm. Lastly, we are ready to celebrate in style with BIRTHDAY GIRL ANYA, who is dressed in a beautiful 2-tier ruffle dress with flowers in her hair ready to bring a graceful touch to all your birthday cards. 

I am LOVING the cute pups from the MADDOX THE DOG stamp set... just THE cutest!! I made a simple card with the standing pup and the single flower.

I stamped the adorable pup and flower using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored them up with Copic markers. I fussy cut the pup on the line and colored the edges with a black marker to make the fussy cutting nice and neat. I fussy cut the flower leaving a white border. I've found this to work better with images that have just a single line.

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

Dog: C0, C2, C3, C5, N2, N4, N6

Shirt Y11, Y15, Y38

Flower: R20, R14, R27, YG11, G07

I paired up the pup with some fun papers from my stash called Magic and Wonder 6x6 Paper Pad from Echo Park Paper Co. I kept my card simple with an easy past sketch from Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration.

Release Day Blog Hop ~ Anya Paints ~ The Greeting Farm

The June 2025 New Release is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! This month we introduced 3 new stamp sets. In our first set called ANYA PAINTS, Anya is ready to brush those worries away by exploring her creative side. For our next set called HUNNY BUNNY, we introduced 6 of the cutest bunnies hopping by with well wishes. Lastly, we have GLOW UP ANYA, featuring Anya with her makeup palette along with a gorgeous makeup vanity.

Anya is busy painting a big flower on her wall. I just love this stamp set! I stamped the flower using the brushstroke stamp with Mustard Seed Distress Ink. I stamped the heart on a scrap of white card stock with Abandoned Coral Distress Ink. I fussy cut the heart. I colored a quick stem and leaf using Copic markers and adhered the heart to the center of the flower.

I stamped sweet Anya and two paint cans using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored them up with some Copic markers. I fussy cut all of the images on the line and colored the edges with a black marker.

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

Skin: E000, E00, E21

Hair: Y11, E00, E21, E15

Shorts: B000, B93

Bow / Top / Belt: V12, V15, V17

Paint Brush: E21, E25, E57, C2, C5, R20, R14

Paint Cans: C0, C2, Y02, Y15, R20, R14

I die cut the panel using a Wonky Stitched Rectangle die from Gina Marie Designs. I adhered it to a black A2 top fold card base. I popped up Anya and the paint cans using foam tape. And then I finished off the card by stamping the sentiment directly on the panel.

To celebrate this release we are having a short BLOG HOP! One lucky fan will win a $50.00 Gift Certificate to The Greeting Farm Store!!

Unity Advent Calendar 2024 Day 19 ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

It's Day 19 of the 2024 Advent Calendar from Unity!! We are nearing the end of this fun advent calendar. I hope you've been enjoying the inspiration!

Today's stamp is a beautiful flower. I stamped it with Black Amalgam ink and colored it up with a few Copic Markers: R00, R21, R43, G00, G43. I then die cut it with a circle die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies} and mat it with a black circle also die cut using the same dies.

You can check out my video revealing the Advent Calendar Day 19 stamp and my process in making this card here... Unity Advent Calendar 2024 Day 19 | Unity Stamp Co.

Inspiration for my card came from the {BYSHC} Sketch 41! Another fun sketch with fun layers! 

Love the vintage / gritty vibe of this one with these pretty papers! All the measurements for this sketch is on my video. They are slightly different from the sketch above.

I paired up the pretty flower with the Grit & Grace {paper pack}. I again used a cut apart sentiment that I had received in a Unity order as a freebie.

I'll be back tomorrow for Day 20 of the 2024 Advent Calendar from Unity!

Have an inktastic day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Membership Wednesday ~ December 2023 Kit of the Month Difference Maker ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back for another Membership Wednesday and today I'm sharing a simple card using the beautiful daisy stamp in the December 2023 Kit of the Month called Difference Maker from Unity Stamp Co. 

I stamped the pretty daisy on a piece of white card stock using Black Amalgam ink. 

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

Petals: Y11, Y15, Y35, R81, R83

Flower Center: E51, E55

Leaves: G24, G28

I paired up the daisy with a piece of pattern paper from the beautiful Pollinator's Nostalgia papers. These papers were a must have!! So glad I got my hands on them! Sadly, I don't see them on the website right now. I die cut the daisy using a die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}.

I stamped the sentiment from the December 2023 Whit Kit called Radiant Moonlit Forest. And then I die cut it using the Scalloped & Stitched Sentiment Nesting Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the daisy layer and then added a bunch of foam tape to the back of both the daisy and sentiment and popped them up on the card. I added a few enamel dots to finish off the card.

Here's a look at the whole Kit of the Month for December!! So amazing!

I'll be back in a couple of weeks to share inspiration for Membership Wednesday. Not sure what I'll be playing with yet, but next week I'll be sharing a card I created for the Kit of the Month on my Instagram. There's a link for my Instagram at the top of my blog if you're interested in seeing my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
