3 x 3 Holiday Note Cards ~ November Challenge ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing some adorable Holiday note cards featuring the sweet stamps from The New Nice {November 2022 Sentiment Kit} from Unity!! Each year when the holidays come around I make a bunch of Holiday note cards. They are super handy to add to last minute gifts. When my nieces and nephews were all little I also used to send them a card each along with the family gifts.

I've made some CAS {Clean & Simple} Holiday note cards to share with you all today. These are 3 x 3" note cards that measure 3 x 6" and they're scored at 3".

I've adhered a 1 x 2-7/8" piece of pattern paper to each of the cards. A great way to use up some of those scrap papers!

The sentiments are all trimmed and popped up with foam tape.

The stamped and colored images were also fussy cut and adhered directly to the cards.

You can check out my process video here... 3 x 3 Holiday Note Cards | The New Nice {Nov.2022 Sentiment Kit} | Unity Stamp Co.

I stamped each of the adorable images with Black Amalgam ink and colored them up with the following Copic markers:

Sweater ~ R20, R14, R27, YG11, G24, G46

Snowman ~ YR15, B0000, B000, R20, R14

Gifts ~ YG11, G24, G46, R20, R14, R27, B0000, B000, B00

Socks ~ YG11, G24, G46, B0000, B000, B00, R20, R14, R27 

Bonus!! I was in the groove and made a few more. These cuties feature the Merry, Moe & Joe stamps and the striped paper from the Holiday Traditions {paper pack}. I watercolored these adorable mice with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush markers.

Grab your holiday stamps, papers and other goodies and play along with the November Challenge!! I can’t wait to see what you create!

Thanksgiving Place Cards ~ Fall, That's All ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing adorable Thanksgiving place cards using the new Fall, That's All stamps from Unity Stamp Co. Love this sweet set of stamps!! I had created these to share as part of my Fall is in the Air Collab with my sweet friend Teresa, but sadly she's unavailable currently with a health issue so we've postponed our collab. I would really love if you would lift her up in prayer or send good vibes her way. I bet she'd appreciate it! Well, let's get to these cute cards...

Aren't they just the cutest?! These stamps are perfect for some cute 3 x 3" place cards! How fun are these and so easy to make! A fun addition to your Thanksgiving table this year!

I paired up these cute stamps with the Celebrate Autumn 6 x 6" paper pad from Echo Park Paper Co. I die cut the circles from Orange Zest and Dark Chocolate card stock (both from Papertrey Ink) using a die from the Stitched Circle Stacklets dies from Taylored Expressions... it measures approx. 2-1/8".

So these are just top fold 3 x 3" notecards of Kraft card stock measuring 6 x 3"; scored at 3". I trimmed up the pattern papers using my Tim Holtz Tonic Deckle Torn Edge Trimmer so they're about 2-7/8" square. Ha! I just realized I forgot to color the name tag for my second pumpkin card! Ooops! I got rushed finishing up my video and missed that! Oh, well... let's just imagine it has that bit of shading.

The pattern papers are adhered to the 3 x 3" place cards. I went with this size so that I could also write little notes inside. So fun!

I had so much fun coloring up these stamped images! I just love coloring Fall images... something about the rich beautiful colors of Fall!

I adhered the bottom portion of the circles to the top of the note cards. I thought about popping up the fussy cut images but decided to just leave all the layers flat. Here's a quick list of the Copic Markers I used to color up the images:

Pumpkin Pie ~ E30, E31, E33, YR21, YR15, YR24, C00, C2

Acorn ~ E21, E23, E25, E29

Pumpkin ~ E21, E23, E25, E29, YR21, YR15, YR68, YR27

I just love this pumpkin pie stamp! It's definitely my fave... and I think it could be used for other pies! I have a video sharing my coloring of the three images and then I assemble just one of the cards so it's not a super long video. I hope you'll check it out!! Here's the link... Thanksgiving Place Cards | Fall, That's All | Unity Stamp Co.

Coolest Chick Square Notecards ~ Coolest Chick Ever ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Unity has an amazing new release and sale going on right now! I couldn't wait to play with the cute chicken in the Coolest Chick Ever stamp kit!! This adorable chick with the glasses has got to be my favorite chicken from the trio in the set... SO cute! 

I decided to make a couple note cards with basically the same colors but change up the color of the glasses and the coordinating card bases.

I kept the design of each card pretty simple with just the chicken and sentiment together. And then I stamped the cloud stamp four times and colored just the bottom of the clouds with blue Copic Markers.

I fussy cut the clouds and cleaned up the edges by coloring them with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker.

I was able to use two clouds per card to make it look like four partial clouds. I adhered one side of the cloud and cut along the edge with my scissors and then used the cut off portion on the other side of the card. A super easy trick!

The chicken layer that measures 3-1/2" squared was adhered to a Kraft piece of card stock that I die cut with the Square dies from Newton's Nook Designs. And then I adhered the layers to the Daffodil Delight and Real Red card bases. The card bases measure 8-1/2 x 4-1/4"; scored at 4-1/4".

I just realized that I didn't color the sky around the chicken... LOL! Well, I think it still works. Maybe it was a cloudy day. Oh, well... I still think they turned out cute!

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

Chickens ~ C00, C2, C3, YR21, YR15, R00, R20, R27

Bows ~ Y11, Y15, R20, R27

Glasses ~ R00, R20, R27, Y11, Y15

Clouds ~ B0000, B000

Hearts ~ R20

Be sure to stop by Unity Stamp Co. and check out the amazing new releases and, of course, the fab sale!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.
