Membership Wednesday ~ August 2025 Uniquely Unity Windowsill Woodlands ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a fun card to brighten anyone's day featuring the adorable owl from the August 2025 Uniquely Unity membership along with the cute background stamp from the August 2025 Background of the Month membership. 

I stamped the awesome background on Kraft card stock using Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. I blended some Vintage Photo Distress Ink over the panel and then die cut it using the largest die from the Deckle & Stitches Nesting Die Set.

I then blended some Gathered Twigs Distress Ink around the edges of the die cut panel. I stamped the heart again on a scrap of Kraft card stock and blended a bit of Candied Apple Distress Ink in the center. I fussy cut the heart and set it aside. I stamped the adorable owl with Black Amalgam ink and colored it with Copic markers. I used a Sakura White Gelly roll pen to add some spots to the owl.

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

Owl: E000, E11, E25

Beak: YR20, YR15, YR68, YR27

Eyes: YG21, YG11

I fussy cut the owl and adhered it to the heart and then I popped up the heart on the card with foam tape. Can you see the hint of dimension? I cut three pieces of Natural May Arts Burlap String and tied them around the panel with a bow. And then I glued the panel to a Kraft A2 top fold card base. I heat embossed the sentiment on Kraft card stock and distressed the edges lightly with the residual ink on my brown blending brush.

January Scraps Cards ~ Penguin Hugs & Cozy Vibes Owl ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing the last two cards I created using the leftover scraps I opened up way back in October 2024. Goodness! My plan to use up scraps each month has been going way too slow! I need to up my game a bit. BUT I am so happy to finally be finishing off these papers!

I've shared this fun technique before here and here. For these two cards I cut 1/2" strips of the pattern papers and adhered them to a thin white card stock panel {I recommend using copy paper if you plan on die cutting the panels} leaving a little bit of room. I didn't measure it or anything... just eyeballed it. I then cut these into 1/2" strips. These papers are from a company that's no longer in business, unfortunately. I love them! Now that these papers are finished up, I'll pick out another pack and share them next week for the new TOPII Sketch 29 that starts on January 28th.

For my first card, I adhered all of the pattern paper horizontally across the white card stock and then I cut 1/2" strips. I adhered those strips to another piece of white card stock with a bit of space in between them making a fun pattern. I trimmed the panel down to 4 x 5-1/4" and adhered it to a white A2 card base measuring 4-1/4 x 11"; scored at 5-1/2".

I stamped the adorable Penguin Hugs with Black Amalgam ink and colored it just a little bit with C00, C1, C3, BV0000, BV11. I die cut the sweet penguin using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}.

I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it up and then adhered it to the scalloped circle. I added foam tape to the back of both and popped them up on the card.

For my second card I used the same 1/2" strips of the pattern paper, but I adhered them diagonally to a panel of white card stock. And then I cut the strips vertically. I then adhered the strips horizontally on another piece of white card stock leaving a little bit of space in between the strips. This panel was trimmed down to 3-3/4 x 5".

I stamped the adorable owl from the Cozy Vibes Owl stamps with Black Amalgam ink and die cut it with another circle die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. I colored the owl a little bit with C00, C1, and C3.

I stamped the sentiment and trimmed it. Added foam tape to the back of both and popped them up on the panel. I then trimmed off the excess hanging over the edges and adhered the panel to a white A2 top fold card base. Two cute cards for my wintry/holiday stash and another paper pack done!! Woohoo!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
