Membership Wednesday ~ September 2025 BOM Merry Multipack ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a cute holiday card featuring the fabulous September 2025 Background of the Month membership called Merry Multipack from Unity Stamp Co. And I paired it up with the adorable bunny from the September 2025 Kit of the Month, also from Unity.

I placed the Merry Multipack background stamp in my Stamp Platform and inked up the reindeer and 'ho ho ho' portions of the stamp with Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink. After getting a nice crisp stamped image for those two sections, I cleaned off the stamp. And then I inked up the candy cane stripes and the plaid with Lumberjack Plaid Distress Ink.

I die cut the background using the largest die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}. And then I adhered it to a white A2 top fold card base. I stamped the cute bunny and sentiment with Black Amalgam ink and colored the bunny up with Copic markers.

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

Bunny: W0, W2, W3, W5, R00, R20

Hat: R20, R14, R27, C0, C2

Ornament: YG11, G24, G46

Greenery: YG11, G24, R27

I fussy cut around the bunny leaving a white border and then adhered it directly to the card. I trimmed the sentiment and popped it up on the card with foam tape.

Here's a quick look at this month's Background of the Month membership!

Here's a quick look at this month's Kit of the Month membership!

This cutie is also available separately in the Santa's Cottontail stamps.

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

Thanks so much for stopping by!

It's the final day of previews at The Greeting Farm for the September release! Today we're introducing HOLIDAY ANYA 13... today's super sweet stamp set includes the adorable Anya with a couple cool penguins and bunch of accessory stamps! All so super cute and fun!

I stamped Anya with her cute penguin friend, the tree, the gifts, and the pine sprigs with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them all with Copic markers. Fussy cut each of them on the line {except for the pine sprigs} and then colored the edges with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker making the edges nice and neat.

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

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R00, R20

Hair: Y21, YR23, YR24

Hair Band: YG11, G24, G46, R20, R14, R27

Coat: C0, C2, YG11, G24, G46, N2, N4, N6

Gifts: R20, R14, R27, E21, E25, E18, YG11, G24, G46

I paired up Anya with the Sweater Weather 6x6 Paper Collection from Brutus Monroe. I used oval dies from Newton's Nook Designs called Oval Frames for all my ovals. The embossing folder I used behind Anya is from Spellbinders and it's called Nordic Noel.

Anya is popped up with foam tape. I adhered the tree to the gifts and then popped those up with foam tape too. I adhered the sprigs to the card and they needed a little something so I added a few confetti pieces from A Colorful Life Designs called Hologram Red Card Bling. Please note: one sentiment contains a small typo - no worries! You'll receive the corrected version as a downloadable digital file. So I printed the sentiment, trimmed it, and then adhered it directly to the card. 

The release goes live in the store on Monday the 15th at 12am EST! Woohoo! Be sure to come back then for the release Blog Hop!! One lucky winner will receive a $50 gift card to The Greeting Farm. All you have to do is comment on the hop! Yay!

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm so super excited to be sharing a cute card featuring stamps from the adorable STAMPtember collaboration stamp called Skate Paw-ty from Newton's Nook Designs that's available over at Simon Says Stamp!! Oh my gosh... I just can't handle the cuteness in this set!

I made a fun wintry card featuring one of the pups and the kitty from the stamp set. I stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copic markers. I die cut them both using the Skate Paw-ty coordinating dies.

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

Kitty: C0, C2, R00, R20

Pup: E000, E00, E11, E23 N0, N2, N4

Blues: B000, B00

Purples: BV000, BV02

White: B000, B00

I used a scrap piece of card stock to mask the top portion of my card base and blended lightly with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to create the ice for our skaters. And then stamped a bunch of snowflakes on the card. I also stamped three on a scrap piece of paper and die cut them using the coordinating dies.

I adhered the skaters and snowflakes with liquid glue and the I stamped the sentiment with the same Tumbled Glass Distress ink to finish off the card.

 Be sure to head over to Simon Says Stamp to get yours before they are all gone! These exclusive cuties will not be restocked! Once they are gone.. they are gone!!

Inky Paws Challenge #236 ~ Color Challenge {Week 3}

Hello there crafty friend!

 Sharing some more inspiration for the Inky Paws Challenge #236 - Color Challenge! You have until Friday, January 31st to get your entries in for the challenge and a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!

Inky Paws Challenge #236 - Color Challenge

Such a gorgeous color combo for any occasion but this time I had to make a Christmas card. Our colors for the challenge are Cherry Red, Dreamy Turquoise, Buttery Brown, and White!! 

I stamped the super cute snowman and pup from the Holiday Heights Stamp Set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Colored them up with my Copic markers and then I die cut them using the coordinating die from the Holiday Heights Die Set.

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

Snowman: BG0000, BG10, YR21, YR15, T0, T2, T4

Hat: E30, E21, E33, T0, T2, T4, T6, R20, R14

Snowman Scarf: BG0000, BG10, BG01 R20, R14

Dog: E30, E21, E33

Dog Scarf: BG0000, BG10, BG01

I used the hill side of the Hills & Grass Stencil to mask the bottom portion of my white card base. And then I secured the Snowfall Stencil over top using washi tape. I blended some Broken China Distress Ink lightly over the stencil using a blending brush. I removed the Snowfall Stencil and then blended a bit more of the Broken China Distress Ink over the edge for a defined horizon.

I placed the card in my Mini Misti and stamped the sentiment. I added a bit of shadow under the snowman using a BG0000 Copic marker. I added foam tape behind the snowman and pup and popped them up on the card.

Now it's your turn to get your paws inky with your Newton's Nook Designs products and create a project using the color combo of Cherry Red, Dreamy Turquoise, Buttery Brown, and White. Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge! Can't wait to see your projects!

Unity Advent Calendar 2024 Day 10 ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

It's Day 10 of the 2024 Advent Calendar from Unity!! I was inspired to make a shaker card today but chickened out. LOL! Me and shaker cards don't see eye to eye... I always make a mess with them.

So I decided to make a faux shaker card with a removable ornament. These are easier, but still a little messy. LOL! And the ornament is so fun. It's not just a card... it's a gift!

You can check out my video revealing the Advent Calendar Day 10 stamp and my process in making this card here... Unity Advent Calendar 2024 Day 10 | Unity Stamp Co.

There are 27 different sketches to pick from for this month's Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration ALL the Sketches Challenge! Here's a look at six of them. I was inspired by the last one... Sketch 18.

A closer look at Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 18! This is a fun sketch! It's perfect for those scraps we all have in our stash. Stop by the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group to check out the challenge and see all the inspiration for each of the sketches. Maybe you'll be inspired to play along with us!

I die cut all the pieces to create the ornament using the Ornamental Greetings Ornament dies from Unity {looks like these aren't available right now}. You can see all the layers in the video above. I just had to ink up the Day 2 penguin again! I love this cutie! 

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used to color up the penguin: C00, C1, YR21, YR15

I adhered a bunch of the fun Christmas confetti mix around the bottom of the ornament and a few around the top. It took me a few tries but I also tied a pretty bow. I adhered the ribbon with a glue dot. The ornament is adhered to the card with removable glue dots from the iCraft Removable Pixie Dots Adhesive from Therm O Web. 

I paired up the ornament with the Watercolor Tidings {paper pack}. I finished up the card with a sweet sentiment from the Christmas cut apart sheet that I received as a freebie from my Brown Thursday order. So perfect with these papers!

I'll be back tomorrow for Day 11 of the 2024 Advent Calendar from Unity!

Have an ink-tastic day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.
