Wedding Card Trio

My son recently visited me and had requests for wedding cards. I didn't have any on hand so I sat down one afternoon while he was doing other things and created these 3 wedding cards for him using stamps from Unity Stamps! I love that I finally found stamp sets that help make wedding cards easily that look so good!


Since I made them quickly I didn't keep track of each card's supplies but I did keep track of all the supplies- listed below. I don't know if I can pick a favorite, can you?










Have a wonderful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Products Used:
Hammermill Cardstock
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

VersaFine Onyx Black Ink
Cuttlebug Textile Embossing Folder

Crafty Stamp Co. Party Like A Panda Birthday Card

I had a friend request several cards using pandas so I immediately thought of the Crafty Stamp Co. set, Party Like a Panda! It is such a darling set and I'm sure I'll use it several times for my friends cards.



I used the Inspired By The Sketch Book to help with the layout and chose Sketch #7. I grabbed out the Birthday Brights 6x6 Paper Pad to go with my cute panda!

I colored the panda with Copics and might have been smiling the whole time I was coloring because I just can't get over the cuteness!!


Copics Used:
Ground/Shadow: W4, W2, BG02, B0000
Panda: C8, C6, R20, YG17, YG13
Balloons: Y17, Y15,YR07, YR04, R85, R83, BG75, BG72
white gel pen highlights

After coloring it was just a matter of putting all the layers together. Some layers are on foam adhesive to give the card a little dimension. The final step was to emboss the sentiment and get it on the card.

Crafty Stamp Co. Mama Ayla Card Inspiration

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a pretty mother-to-be card using the Mama Ayla Stamp Set from Crafty Stamp Co. I wanted to do some different colors than the typical baby/mother-to-be cards so I went with some yellows and oranges. I also decided to not use your typical papers and used the beautiful Summer Lemons & Daisies 6x6 Paper.


I used a die from my stash to create the layout for my card that helps to highlight Mama Ayla and the different baby accessories. The give the cardstock layer some texture I embossed it.


Mama Ayla and the accessories are colored with Copics and have white gel pen highlights.


Copics Used:
Skin/Lips: E13, E11, E0000, R20, R27
Hair: E57, E55, E33, E53
Eyes: YG67, YG63
Dress: Y28, Y26, Y23
Stroller: W6, C7, YR15, YR14, YR12
Onesie: YR27, YR24, YR23, YR21
Bottle: E13, E11, BG10
Butterfly: YR21, YR23
Rattle/Pacifier/Teether on inside: YR27, YR24, YR23, YR21, YR15, YR14, YR12

I added some dimension by adding some foam tape to the cardstock layer and also to all the images.

I finished off the card by stamping the sentiment, "Being a Mother is learning about strengths you didn't know you had", on the inside and carrying the theme inside with more baby accessories.


I really love how it came out and think it is just so beautiful! Have a wonderful day and go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Sweet November Stamps Fae-bruary Challenge Week 2

There is a fun challenge each week in the Sweet November Stamps Facebook Group for Fae-bruary!! For the second week the theme is Pink and Green.

I looked through my stash and decided to use the Valentine Sweetwees since it is Valentine's Day! They are so cute!

I used the Frames & Tags die from Newton's Nook for the layout with some Doodlebug papers. I wanted the little Sweetwee who is colored with copics to stand out a bit from the background (plus it's a different pink for her balloon/lollipop) so I embossed an oval with a favorite embossing folder, Swiss Dots.

I finished off the card with a few bits from This Calls For Confetti and added some white gel pen highlights.





Have a sweet day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Playing with Glimmer Hot Foil System

I've had the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System for quite awhile but have never really had time to sit down and play with it to learn it. I took some time recently to do just that. 

In the past I have never gotten very good results but to be fair, I was usually in a hurry or rush to really learn it. This time I took my time and really focused on learning this hot foil system. I did get it somewhat figured out, with the help of my hubby, but honestly, I still like toner foiling better but I can see a place in the craft room for both types of foiling as I really like the option for the sentiments with the glimmer hot foiling.

Here's my first card that I created with the Spellbinders Glimmering Christmas Flora Hot Foil Plates/Dies.




Card 2 uses the Spellbinders Sentiments for Everyday Hot Foil Plates/Dies set.




My last card for today uses paper and ephemera from Not 2 Shabby and a foiled sentiment from that same Spellbinders Sentiments For Everyday Hot Foil/Dies.
