Unity - What the Cluck Birthday

 Happy Saturday!

Today, I have the birthday card I made for my high school girlfriends.  I loved this Unity set when it came out last year. I got it when it was on sale last year and finally used it!  The set is called "What the Cluck?!".  

I attended an online card marking summit back in January and the focus was using your scraps.   I have a plastic bin next to my work desk where I started keeping my scraps this year. These cards were made with patterned paper scraps and I think they turned out great. I made 4.25 x 5.5" panels with the patchwork and sewed over the seams.  Then mounted the stitched panel on a cream base card. 

The image was stamped on white cardstock and colored with Copic Markers.

Copic Colors: E21, E23, E25, R46, YR14, YR16, YR18, B01, YG95

I cut the image with a stitched rectangle die, then aged it with PTI ink, Fine Linen, Kraft and Cocoa Bean ink and blending brush.  I stamped the sentiment on a fishtail banner and aged it with ink.  The circle and 55 are from a Spellbinders die set "Happy Birthday with Numbers" from 2018, retired unfortunately.

Here is a second card with a different color scheme:

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.
