Scrapping for Less ~ Unicorn Marci with Watercolor Foil Paper

Hi there crafty peeps!

I'm sharing an adorable card today using Unicorn Marci and some absolutely beautiful 

paper from Pink & Main called Watercolor Foil.

I shared a card last week using Unicorn Marci... you can check out that card here ---> Unicorn Marci with Coffee Distress Oxide Watercolor card! I watercolored my card for last week, but for this week I wanted to use bright colors to coordinate the beautiful Watercolor Foil papers so I stamped Unicorn Marci using Gina K Designs Amalgam black ink and then colored her in using the 

following Copic markers:

Skin ~ E000, E21, E51, R20

Hair ~ E42, E43, E44, Y21

Pajamas ~ RV10, RV14, RV17, RV25, N0, N1

Slipper boots ~ N0, N1, Colorless Blender

I die cut the Watercolor Foil papers and adhered them to a white card base. I then fussy cut Unicorn Marci and set her aside. I die cut some clouds that I lightly sponged with some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink but any blue oxide ink would work. There happens to be this ink in the shop ---> Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink... which would work just as well when lightly sponged on.

I adhered the die cut clouds with liquid glue so I could adjust them quickly before they set. 

I popped up my fussy cut Unicorn Marci with foam tape. I then stamped the cute sentiment 

on white card stock with Gina K Designs Amalgam black ink, fussy cut a flag, and then popped it 

up on the card. I just love that beautiful shine from the foil in the Watercolor Foil papers! 

So pretty! I sure hope you've enjoyed my card!

Unity Stamp Company ~ Coffee Lovers Spring I Summer 2019 Blog Hop

Hi crafty peeps!

Can you believe that there's only a couple more days for the Spring/Summer Coffee 

Lover's Blog Hop?! I can't believe it's almost over!! So sad... but I have a fabulous new release to share with you from Unity Stamp Company called Cafe Delights!!

When I saw the gorgeous Cafe Delights stamp set, I just knew I had to combine it with my first and most favorite Unity stamp of all times... Dream of Being!! I decided to go with rich browns for the building and some pops of red and yellow to finish it off. The Dream of Being image just had to be colored with a light aqua to contrast the rich colors. I used the following Copic markers for my card:

Sky/clouds ~ B0000, N0

Sidewalk ~ N0, N2, N4

Menu ~ N2, N5, E57

Cafe/open sign ~ Y06, Y19

Building ~ E07, E08, E09, E55, E57, E59, N0, N2

Canopy/tables ~ R14, R27, R29

Dream of Being Girl ~ E000, E51, BG10, BG32, E55, E57, E59, R14, N2

I used the Newton's Nook Square die to die cut my colored image and the back layer of Aqua Mist card stock. I adhered the layers with mono multi liquid glue and then popped up the whole square panel with foam tape onto a 5 x 5" square card base. I fussy cut the Dream of Being girl and adhered her directly to the panel with liquid glue. I decided to go without a sentiment on the front... I just couldn't cover any of the front panel.

Here's a close up of the colored images. Love love love the new Cafe Delights kit!!

The Rabbit Hole Designs ~ Coffee Lovers Spring I Summer 2019 Blog Hop

Hey crafty peeps!!

So, a few days ago I shared another card using The Rabbit Hole Designs stamps... you can check that card out here ---> Handmade Brew card. When I made the background for that card, I also made this background that I set aside just for the Caffeinated Rabbit! I have been just itching to ink this guy up!! I love this stamp so much!

This was totally me this morning!! LOL... 

So, I considered just leaving the background as is, but as I was reaching for my stitched rectangle die and I saw the Cover Up Stitched Clouds die by Lil' Inker Designs.  I thought it would make the background even better and I have to say that I love it! I very simply colored the rabbit with just a little touch of N0, N2, and R20 Copic markers. The cup was colored with V01 and V06. Now I was gluing down the rabbit and decided to put a little grey mat under him... imagine me doing a mad dash for the grey card stock LOL!! Well, since I was in a hurry I just hand cut my oval-ish mat and glued it hastily down and then finished adhering the rabbit. It was all very hare-ied *wink* *wink* and hilarious to me, anyway!

I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of the same grey card stock using VersaMark watermark ink and then heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. I trimmed the sentiment down to a flag and then popped it up on the panel. The main panel is also popped up on the white card base. 

There you have it... a fun, quick card!

There's a couple more days for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. I sure 

hope you've had a chance to play along!!

Thanks so much for checking out my blog post!

See ya next time.

Unity Stamp Company ~ Pretty Girl Smile

Hey crafty peeps!

Have you checked out the Unity Stamp Company birthday celebration sale yet?!

Sooo many fabulous stamps... including this new release!!

You can get this beautiful stamp here ---> Pretty Girl Smile

I went with a simple design for this card... I wanted to showcase the beautiful girl so I thought a frame die would be perfect!! I have a slight obsession with camera papers so it was easy enough to find a pretty paper to use... American Crafts Shimelle Collection. I'm also on a bit of a pink kick lately... not my usual color, but I'm loving how her outfit turned out! I added some film paper that I stapled to the frame making the bends as I went before adhering the frame to the white card base. My last little touch was that cute little wooden camera element. Love it!

I used the following Copic markers for this card ~ E0000, E000, E51, YR23, 

YR27, R59, C00, C3, C7, RV10, RV11, RV21

Thanks so much for checking out my blog post!

Scrapping for Less ~ Coffee Lovers Spring I Summer 2019 Blog Hop

Hey there crafty peeps!

Today, I'm featuring products from the January 2019 Perk Up & Start the New Year 

card kit from Scrapping for Less. A fabulous card kit filled with coffee themed products that 

is sadly no longer available.

But for those of you lucky enough to have this kit, I thought I'd share a quick card using some 

of the products. I wanted to try to use up some of the papers in the kit. One of my goals for 

2019... using up some of those smaller pads of paper. Anywho, I layered the checkered papers to 

a white card base also adding a black strip of the black paper from the same paper pad collection called Coffee by Echo Park. I added another scrap of checkered paper to a piece of white card 

stock and adhered that on my card base. 

And to finish off the card I mat the journaling card from the kit to a piece of black card stock and popped it up on the card. Very simple, but I like the offset journaling card... I think it brings interest to the card. I just love that sentiment too! So fun!

Have you checked out the Spring/Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop yet? You really should!

Thanks for checking out my blog post for today!

See ya next time.
