GIU Day #3

Hi!

Welcome back for day 3 of my GIU week. Today's card features the stamp set Holly Jolly Critters. Can you believe I hadn't inked this cute set!?! So glad I finally did! For this one I tried to do the "no line coloring" technique with Copic markers. I haven't colored with Copics in a while and I didn't have the correct type of paper at hand but still, I liked the result. I definitely will try again the technique. I wanted to give a rustic look to this card so I used the "Rustic Wood" paper pack from Unity for the background. The sentiment is heat embossed with red embossing powder. Distress inks and a few sequins completed the look. 

Well, see you tomorrow!

GIU 2022 - Day #2

Hello!

Welcome back for day 2 of my Growing in Unity week. For today, I have another Christmas card. I wanted to make a simple one, easy to replicate but not simple enough to be considered a CAS card. For this one I used the set "O' Holy Blessed Night" , kraft cardstock and Unity's paper pack Krafty Deck the Halls . I heat embossed the main image with white embossing powder.

Growing in Unity 2022 - Day One "Doxie Christmas"

 Hi everyone:

Welcome to Day 1 of my participation of Growing in Unity 2022 from the Unity Stamp Co. It's been a while since I've blog so I'm excited for this week. I really hope you enjoy my creations. 

My first project for my GIU  is a card I have called "Doxie Christmas". When I saw this stamp set, "Whit's Weenies" , I knew I had to have it. I love Dachshunds. I've had 8. Currently I have a mini black-tan doggie daughter named Maia. You can follow her in instagram as Maia_thedoxie. So this card is definitely inspired in her. 

For this card I combined "Whit's Weenies" and "Say it Big (Holiday)" stamp sets. I colored the images with watercolor coloring pencils. The background was created with Distress Inks and white acrylic paint. I used Glossy Accents for the lightbulbs within the doxie image. The "Christmas" was heat embossed with silver embossing powder. 

Be sure to leave a comment below for a chance to win a $20 gift credit from Unity Stamp Co. Isn't Unity the greatest!

PS: This is Maia, the inspiration. 

See you tomorrow!

Now, on to my card. My son's birthday is in a few weeks. So I wanted to make a card for him. It is not a typical birthday card, but, it's true! I like him more than ice cream.  He just love colors. I just had to use one of Unity's paper packs Rainbow Vibes. I mean, could this paper be more adorable?! My son LOVES ice cream too so the choice of paper from the pack was pretty obvious. I used a stamp from the Kit of the Month Kit Sweet Summer Love from June 2012. It's an oldie but it has great timeless images and sentiments. That ice cream truck, I just love it!. I used Copics to color the image. Added some dots using regular glittered glue and, of course, used Glossy Accents too. The die used is from Gina Marie.
