Unity - Snow Buddies Birthday

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have another card using a 2024 Uniquely Unity Stamp of the Month set.  This is Unity "Snow Buddies" which was the November 2024 stamp.  I made a birthday card for our grand-niece whose birthday in mid-January, a little winter whimsy for a girl who lives in Alabama.

The image is colored with Copic Markers.  The sentiment is from PTI Cutaway Tags - Summer.  The patterned papers are from my stash Pink Paislee "Snow Village".  The image and sentiment edges are aged with PTI Vintage Cream ink and a brush, then matted on PTI Tropical Teal cardstock.

Copic Colors: BG45, BG49; YR07; W1, W2; G40, G43, G48

Unity - Simply Holiday Deer

 Happy Saturday and New Year!

Last Year, I signed up for the Uniquely Unity Stamp of the Month subscription, this set "Simply Holiday Deer" was the October stamp.  I was pretty good at making a card using the monthly stamp, although there are a few from last year still waiting to be used; hopefully I will get to them this year.

I colored the image with Copic Markers and paired the image from my patterned paper in my stash.  This is one of my favorites - The Angel Company "Vintage Holiday".  The sentiment is stamped in PTI Scarlet Jewel ink and fussy cut out.  Base card is PTI White and matting PTI Pure Poppy. 

Copic Colors: Y35, Y38; R43, R46, G40, G43, G46, E53, E55, E57, E59

Unity - Everything Stronger Sympathy

Happy Saturday!

Today I have a sympathy card to share using a Unity stamp set - Everything Stronger.  The sentiment was stamped in PTI Enchanted Evening ink on PTI white cardstock.  I die cut the sentiment using a SU Stampin' cut and Emboss dies.  The rectangular mat cardstock is PTI Enchanted Evening.  I punched 2 holes on the tag and added threaded a white ribbon through, finishing with a bow.

The embossed panel was done with Spellbinders 3DEmbossing Folder - Beautiful Blooms.  Love this embossing folder.  The mat cardstock is PTI Enchanted Evening.

Spellbinders - Evergreens Christmas Card

Merry Christmas!

Today I have my last 2024 Christmas card to share.  It uses Spellbinders - Seasons Greetings Evergreen Press Plate and the Spellbinders BetterPress System.  This card has a lot of elements to create this scene.  The metal evergreen plate was inked with Memento black ink and image transferred to rag cotton cold press watercolor paper.  I used watercolors to paint the image.  After dry, I added a few sprays of tsukineko glimmer and splatters of watered down white paint, for snow and sparkle.  

I used 2 die cuts for the windows; the upper one is Little Miss Muffet and is actually a screen door die but the outer frame makes a wonderful large arched window.  The second window below is Poppy Small Madison Die.  I painted 10 images and cut them to make 27 cards total.  I was able to get 2 window scenes for the large arched window out of 1 image and 3 window scenes out of 1 painted image for the smaller window die.

I created the wainscoting and trim using a Darice stripe embossing folder.  The green patterned paper I found in my paper stash, perfect for a vintage wallpaper.   


Lastly, I added the Christmas Wishes die cut.

Hope you have a blessed Christmas!
Blessings to you,
Deb
