Membership Wednesday ~ October 2025 KOM Frost & Folklore Snowman ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a sweet wintry card I made using a cute stamp from the October 2025 Kit of the Month membership from Unity. 

I played with my Copic markers and white Prismacolor pencil and colored up this cute duo on some Kraft card stock. SO fun! 

Copic markers used:

Snowman: B000, B00, R20

Nose: YR20, YR15, YR68

Arms: E21, E25

Buttons: N0, N2, N4

Scarf: R20, R14, R29

Bird: Y11, Y15, Y35, B000, B00, B02

Heart: R14

I decided to keep the card simple with just some torn edges and a white layer peeking through the Kraft layers.

But I couldn't help adding some spatters to the card. Did I go a little overboard with the spatters? Maybe... but I love how it turned out! What do you think?

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

This adorable duo stamp is also available separately in the Frost & Feathers stamps.

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

Have a wonderful day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Holiday Thing ~ Wingin' It This Holiday ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

I'm so excited to see some new chickens released over at Unity and they are all dressed up for the holidays so I'm even more excited to add to my stash of holiday cards for the Christmas in July {BYSHC} Linky Party that is happening now!

I inked up both chickens from the Wingin' It This Holiday stamps and colored them up with Copic markers. Aren't they just too much fun?! I love the mix of sentiments included with them. It was hard to pick just one!

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

White Chicken: C0, C2, YR21, YR15, YR27

Hat: R20, R14, R27, C0, C2

Present: E21, E23, E57, R20, R14, R27

Brown Chicken: C0, C2, E21, E23, E57, YR21, YR15, YR27

Lights: Y11, Y06, YG11, G02, R20, R14, B000, B00

Ground: C0, C2

I hope you'll stop by the Christmas in July 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party to check out all the wonderful Holiday inspiration being shared! And maybe even play along!

I die cut the chicken panel using a die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies} and then I tore the top and bottom. I trimmed a piece of pattern paper from the Watercolor Tidings {paper pack} to 4-1/4 x 4". I die cut two scraps of white card stock using the longest edge of the same die I used on the chicken panel. I distressed them just a little bit so they weren't bright white. I also distressed the chicken panel. I mostly used the residue ink on my brown blending brush but I might have used a little more Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

I adhered the scalloped strips to the chicken panel and then adhered the panel to the red A2 top fold card base. I distressed the sentiment just a smidge and trimmed the words up to adhered individually to the card. I wrapped the front of the card with natural burlap string a few times and then tied a pretty bow to finish off the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Some Days ~ Winnie the Pooh: Time to Think ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

Any Winnie the Pooh fans out there?! Me. Me. I just had to ink this guy up! Unity just added this cutie to the Winnie the Pooh collection.

This cutie is the Winnie the Pooh: Time to Think stamps. Pooh bear's just having a little quiet time at the pond. So cute! I stamped and Copic colored sweet Pooh. I then die cut the panel using a die from the Scallops & Squares {nesting dies}. I carefully blended some clouds around Pooh bear using the Cloud & Wave Stencil with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. The square panel covered up too much of my background so I tore the sides.

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

Winnie the Pooh: Y11, Y02, Y15

Ground: YG11, G21, YG17, E21, E33

Water: B000, B02

Dragonfly: RV02

Fishing Pole: E21, E25, YG11, YG17

Fish: Y11, Y15, B000, B02

Speaking of my background, I paired up Winnie the Pooh with the Takin' Em Fishin' {paper pack}. I used a couple pieces from the pattern papers and used a scrap of kraft and vellum card stock for the edge of the fish papers. Sometimes it's just fun to tear up that paper! I wrapped the pattern papers with Natural May Arts Burlap String and just tied it off with a knot.

I added foam tape to the back of the Pooh bear panel and popped it up on the card. I finished off the card with some black enamel dots from Spellbinders. I really like how this one turned out.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Best Decision You Ever Made ~ Snarky Valentines ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

I'm back today to share a quick and funny Valentine's Day card using the awesome Snarky Valentines stamps from Unity's January release. So many hilarious and fun sentiments!

I went with a very simple card design so the sentiment would be the star. I love this! Pretty sure this will be my hubby's Valentine's Day card! LOL

I paired the Snarky Valentines sentiment with the beautiful Enveloped in Love {paper pack}. I actually had these papers in the pack already for a card. Easy peasy! I die cut the sentiment using a banner die from the Scallops & Banners {nesting dies}. Distressed the edges leaving a little bit of white peeking through in the center. I added a bunch of foam tape to the back of the banner and popped it up on the card. And then I finished this card off with one heart enamel dot.

To finish off the card, I added one heart enamel dot from my stash. Such a fun card to make!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Crystal

You Are Impeckable ~ Impeckable Silhouette ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

I'm back today to share a quick chicken card using the awesome Impeckable Silhouette stamps from Unity's Cyber Monday release. These birds are so fun!

I stamped them all in a fun line and then tore my paper.

I paired the Impeckable Silhouette chickens with the beautiful Barnyard Bouquet {paper pack}. I tore the gingham papers from the pack and adhered all of my layers to the pretty chicken pattern paper.

I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it up and then popped it up with foam tape. To finish off the card, I added a few white enamel dots from my stash. Such a fun card to make and so easy peasy!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Torn Pattern Paper ~ Eternal Midnight Weave ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Sharing a super fun and quick Halloween card today using the new Eternal Midnight Weave {paper pack} along with the recently released Ghostly Bat Ensemble, both from Unity Stamp Co. Absolutely no coloring on this card! It was so quick!

The new Eternal Midnight Weave {paper pack} is filled with wonderful Halloween papers. I love the spiderwebs in this one. I made a quick background for this card by simply trimming my pattern papers to 4-1/4 x 6" and tearing towards me holding the right side of the paper. I got 6 paper strips but I've only used 4 of them for this card so the black card stock in the background will show through. 

I really wanted to make a card with the new ghost, too. I haven't played with him until now and man... he is TOO cute! I stamped him with Black Amalgam ink and fussy cut him with my Cutter Bee scissors.

I also stamped the sentiment with Black Amalgam ink and die cut it with a die from the Scallops & Squares Nesting Dies. I added foam tape to the back of the ghost and the sentiment and then I popped them both up on the card. SO easy peasy!!

Membership Monday ~ Torn Paper Layers ~ December 2022 Kit of the Month ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing one last card for the December 2022 Kit of the Month. I've played with lot of layers of pattern paper along with the beautiful mushrooms stamp.

Loving all the pretty papers from the Kindness is Magic {paper pack}. It was hard to pick papers for this one. I even decided halfway through to change out a paper because I didn't use much blue-green in my coloring. Using papers with similar colors to the mushrooms helps to balance the colors in the design.

Here's a quick list of the Copic Markers I used for the mushrooms:

Mushrooms ~ W00, W1, W3, R20, R14, R27

Flowers ~ Y11, Y15

Leaves ~ YG03, YG63

Background ~ BG0000

Grounding ~ W00, W1

Next, the layers were all adhered together onto the bottom layer that I didn't tear for a bit of contrast to the design. Last of all, I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it and adhered it to the card.

You can check out my process video for this card here... Torn Paper Layers | December 2022 Kit of the Month | Unity Stamp Co.
