Unity - All Lit Up Birthday

Happy Saturday!

Today I have a fun birthday card, using Unity All Lit Up.  I used some watercolor paper and stamped the Happy Birthday image with the balloons.  I stamped the balloons on a piece of white cardstock and colored them with Copic Markers.  I fussy cut out the colored balloons and paper pieced them on the main watercolor paper image.

I looked through my patterned and found a paper pad Paper Studios The Basics which had a rainbow of bright colors with different patterns.  I chose a blue and yellow polka dot and green stripe that matched the colors of balloons. and created a stripe background. 

Copic Colors: Y19, Y21, Y35, Y38, RV11, RV15, B01, B04, YG21, YG23

Unity - Cheesy Birthday

 

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have another birthday card using a super punny stamp set from Unity Stamps called "Cheese Chat".  I thought this would be a funny card for family and friends who live outside Wisconsin.  

I recently cleaned my craftroom and discovered cardstock on my shelf that I had forgotten was there because there were boxes in front of it.  It was the smooth Bazzill cardstock The Angel Company carried the last year or so, which means it has been on my shelf over 15 years.  Can that be possible?  

I found from yellow Bazzill Grapefruit Bliss and created a stenciled background, which looks like cheese.  The stencil was one I got in a set from Amazon several years ago.  The ink I used was PTI Summer Sunrise.  I've seen card samples with a partially stenciled background that fades out, so I thought I would give it a try.  The sentiment is stamped on Pineapple Bliss Bazzill cardstock and cut with DieNamics Circle STAX Set 1 & 2.  Matted the sentiment and the background with PTI Black cardstock.  

The Cheese and grater image was colored with Copic Markers.

Copic Colors:  Y17, Y21, Y38, E31, E33, E37, W1, W3, W4, R39

I cut the colored image with a edge die from DieNamics - Stitched Basics Edges.  I'm finding all kinds fun of things in my craftroom.

Stamping Bella - Grace the Graduate

Happy Saturday!

It is graduation party season and that is what I'm doing today.  This is the card I made for the graduate, using Stamping Bella - Grace the Graduate.  

It's a stamp set I had in my stash and I used it 7 years ago for one of nieces who was graduating from college.  This is the first card I made with a colored gown rather than black...Love the royal blue!  Erica had a golden yellow sash and cords.  I thought about using cross stitch floss to create the cord, but in the end I just used some ribbon to represent them both.

The image is colored with Copic markers.

Copic Colors: B12, B14, B16, B18; G12, G14, G09; Y32, Y35, Y38

E00, E11, E21, E30, E31, E33, BG000; YR21, YR23, YR24

Since my sewing machine is functional again I matted the image on golden yellow Bazzill cardstock and stitch around the border, switching from a straight single stitch to a zig-zag on 3 of the sides.

This is actually the second card I made.  The first was in purple, which I don't know where that came from.  I had a picture of Erica from graduation in blue and gold and pulled out the purple Copic markers.

Copic Markers: V09, V12, V15, V17; YG63, YG67

Patterned papers are TAC Maggie
