Unity - Coffee Queen Birthday

 Happy Saturday!

Today I have some birthday cards I made with Unity Stamp Set - Coffee Queen.  
I started going through all my 6x6" patterned paper pads in my craftroom and consolidated them in one place.  I use to do this all the time...pick a paper with the colors and patterns I wanted to use for the stamp, then color.  Rather than coloring the image and trying to find a paper I liked.  It certainly makes it easier.

The first card uses aqua, cream and yellow, the patterned paper pad is Crate Paper DIY Shop.  I thought not only the colors were perfect but the flowers were also a great match for this image.  Next, I chose my Copic markers to match the colors in the papers. 

Copic: Cup-BG11, BG34; Rim-Y02, Y08; Flower and Cream-W0, W2; 
Leaf-YG61, YG63, YG67; Coffee-E77

The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Spellbinders Garden Favorite Sentiments.  
I cut a box around the sentiment then cut the cup out.

I chose 2 papers from the paper pad, a floral and a ledger page.  I cut the floral paper diagonally, so I could make 2 cards.  The ledger page was cut into 2 pieces 3x5".  The finished papered background is 3.75x5" and mounted on black cardstock 3.875x5.125".   I added some white bakers twine and mounted the image.  Base card is 4.25 x 5.5" white PaperTrey Ink cardstock.

For the second card, I chose a different paper pad
Echo Park For the Record 2, which changed the cup color and rim color.
Copic: Cup-BG70, BG72, BG75; Rim-R24, R29; Flower and Cream-W0, W2; 
Leaf-YG61, YG63, YG67; Coffee-E77

This card I turned to be a tent card, 5.5" x 4.25".

Unity - Still Turning Heads Birthday

Happy Saturday! 

Today I have the birthday card I made for Mark this year.  It uses a stamp set from Unity called Still Turning Heads.  Love the Mustang image reminds me of the one we had from 2006-2019.  I paired this image with Simple Stories papers - Urban Traveler.  The Gray the image is stamped on and the background arrows.

The image is colored with copic markers B32, B35, Y35.  Did some distressing on the image and added the sentiment to the front. 

Thanks for stopping by...
Blessings to you,
