Quick Birthday Card Set ~ 2-Step Wreath ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a quick set of birthday cards that I made using the new 2-Step Wreath from Unity Stamp Co. I've been in serious need of birthday cards lately and I thought this wonderful stamp set would be perfect for some quick cards... and I was SO right!

I thought about making them all the same but I wanted to play with some different colors and see what I liked more. I chose 4 green distress oxide inks along with a purple, a yellow, a pink, and a red.

For my first card I used Bundled Sage and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide inks. My card stock mat is Almost Amethyst from Stampin' Up.

For my second card I used Mowed Lawn and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide inks. My card stock mat is Dandelion Delight from Stampin' Up.

For my third card I used Twisted Citron and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide inks.

My card stock mat is Pretty in Pink from Stampin' Up.

For my last card I used Rustic Wilderness and Festive Berries Distress Oxide inks. My card stock mat is Real Red from Stampin' Up.

I stamped the leaves first with the green inks and then stamped the flowers with the other colors. I stamped the sentiment from the Hello Sweetheart Bouquet {May 2020 Sentiment Kit} with Black Amalgam ink from Gina K. Design. I trimmed the card fronts to 3-13/16 x 5-1/16" and then I mat them with coordinating colors of card stock measuring 4 x 5-1/4". I adhered the panels to white A2 top fold card bases. Super simple cards that could be jazzed up with ribbon, enamel dots, or rhinestones. But I think they turned out pretty just how they are.

March 2022 Whit Kit ~ Big Memories Card Kit ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with one more card using the beautiful March 2022 Whit Kit called Big Memories! I have found myself in desperate need of birthday cards for my stash so I thought I'd pair up this month's card kit with a couple of cute itty bitty stamps to make a special birthday card for one of my friends and at least get ahead a little bit.

 

I used a couple of scraps of torn pattern paper from my blog post yesterday for my background today. Still loving that white torn border on the papers! I die cut another pattern paper with the Postage Stamp {nesting dies} to use as my background for my focal piece. 

I stamped the hearts from the Big Memories stamp kit with Abandoned Coral and Tattered Rose Distress Oxide inks. I fussy cut the hearts leaving a skinny border of white around them.

I stamped the adorable bird from the Old Chicks itty bitty stamp and colored it up with the following Copic Markers:

Beak ~ Y06, YR15

Yellows ~ Y000, Y11

Pinks ~ R20, R22

The sentiment is stamped with Abandoned Coral Oxide ink and fussy cut with a flag on one end. All the layers are just adhered with liquid glue. I didn't pop up anything this time with foam tape... crazy!

Membership Monday ~ Feb. 2022 Whit Kit Lovely Reminder ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with another CAS card using the beautiful February 2022 Whit Kit from Unity Stamp Co. called Lovely Reminder. This time I did a little masking and Distress Oxide ink blending... one of my favorite techniques for a quick CAS card!

I wanted a romantic color combo for my ink blending and I think I found it with Tattered Rose, Abandoned Coral and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide inks. I stamped the beautiful rose with Villainous Potion Distress Oxide ink.

I also stamped with sentiment with the Villainous Potion Distress Oxide ink.

I die cut the card front with the largest Postage Stamp {nesting die} from the kit and adhered it to a white A2 top fold card base. I finished off the card with a few translucent enamel dots. You can check out my process video here... Lovely Reminder Card | Feb2022 Whit Kit | Unity Stamp Co.

Done in Love ~ February 2022 Whit Kit Lovely Reminder ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Life has been so crazy busy lately and I've been neglecting my inky time. I can tell when I don't get much inky time because my mood changes... I seriously rely on my inky time to keep me sane. With that said... I finally found some time to play and I pulled out my February 2022 Whit Kit! I've been seriously excited to play with this kit because of the envelope stamp in the kit, but I didn't even ink it up! LOL!

When time is short I love to make pretty CAS cards! I also love to stamp on Kraft card stock. Now when I made this card I had a pretty good idea of what I was going to do, but I ended up changing a few things. One of those ideas was to do some white acrylic paint splatter on the large background behind the rose.

That's why I stamped the rose on a scrap of Kraft card stock and die cut it with the coordinating die. It still gives it some dimension on the card. I also planned to use a satin ribbon that matches the ink, but it wasn't working with the edges from the Postage Stamp {nesting dies}. So I opted for some burlap string!

And to finish off the card I added a few translucent enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs. The large panel and the sentiment are both popped up with foam tape. If you're interested to see my process you can check it out in my process video here... Done in Love Card | Feb2022 Whit Kit Lovely Reminder | Unity Stamp Co.

Be sure to check out the Whit Kit membership at Unity... the February 2022 Whit Kit is still available for just a couple more days!! If you already have the kit, I hope you share your creations in the Unity Show & Tell Facebook group! I'll be back tomorrow with another card using this fantastic kit!
