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!

Crafty Al Member Challenge May 2026 | Color Cube Inspiration

Today's card is for the Crafty Al Member Challenge for May 2026. We were to be inspired by a Color Cube Card! I have a different set of Color Cubes than Crafty Al so I chose the option to choose my own, which I chose Color Cube Card 380. It has lots of bright happy colors and is sort of a rainbow which I know Crafty Al loves.

If you haven't become a member of Crafty Al's YouTube Channel, check it out! I love the perk of having the SheetLoad visual archive which means access to all the SheetLoad printables in one place plus she does freebies often and I do love the end of the month live where there is usually a challenge!! I feel it's one of the better channel memberships out there! 

I first chose my papers which were the Sunny Studio Rainbow Bright 6x6 Papers. Next was to choose my image and I kept my pattern of choosing a Unity Stamp to go with the Color Cube Card so I chose Little Miss Moo from the April 2026 Kit of the Month but she's also sold individually!

I colored up Little Miss Moo (what a fun name) with my Copics! I think I got the colors pretty close to the Color Cube Card!

Copics Used:

Ground/Shadow: YG17, YG13, YG11, BG0000

Cow: R20, E13, E11, C8, C6, C5, C3

Basket: B28, B26, B24

Flowers: YG23, YG21, YR07, RV19, RV14, Y19, Y15, V17, V15

Since my circle with Little Miss Moo was rather large I just decided only put one layer behind her. I stamped the sentiment with SU Melon Mambo ink to match the cardstock. The die for the sentiment is one of my new favorites, Whimsy's Quick Strips Dies. (there are several sets and I love them all! Quick Strips 2 Dies, Quick Strips 3 Dies, Quick Strips 4 Dies)

I always do a test run on how the card will come together before I adhere everything in place.

This card just makes me smile so big!! I really do adore Little Miss Moo and I'll admit it, I love saying her name, Little Miss Moo! LOL!!

I've had a few people ask to see what I do to decorate the inside of my cards. On this one I just added some strips of paper cut at an angle and staggered.

Have a moo-velous day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Copic Colored Unity Stamps Seen & Herd Cow Card

I needed a belated birthday card for a friend so I sat down and went through my stamps and decided that the Unity Stamp Set, Seen & Herd, would be perfect! It's so cute and fun! I adore the little birdie and that cow is so adorable!

Lately I've started deciding on a layout/papers before I color my image and today was no exception. I pulled out some circle dies and an old MFT blueprints die set to help with the layout and then I found the Unity Stamps paper that went with the Seen & Herd stamp set, The Soft Side Of The Fence. 

The next step in creating this card was to stamp the image onto Hammermill cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then used my Copic alcohol markers to color it in. Copic coloring is still one of my favorite part of paper crafting! I just love watching the image come to life!

I used the following Copic markers:

Grass/Sky: BG11, BG10, YG67, YG63, YG61, YG93

Cow Face: E55, E53, E51, E50

Cow Horns: E57, E55, E33

Cow Body: YR27, YR24, YR23

Bird: Y35, Y15, Y11

Flowers: YR07, YR04

I chose my sentiment, "Oops...it's pasture your birthday" and tried to figure out a way to place it on the front of the card but decided to stamp it on the inside. I always try to do a little something to the inside of my cards to help the card feel cohesive whether it's some banners or just strips of patterned paper to match the front.

To complete the card I adhered all the layers and then added some white gel pen highlights to my image. I also decided it needed a little something so I added some twine on the gingham paper. I popped the gingham layer and the image up on some foam tape.

I hope that my friend likes the card and hopefully will forgive me for being late for her birthday.

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

You're Tweet As Can Be

I thought it would be fun to create a card from each of the TOP Inky Inspiration Sketches that Crystal Minkler puts out in her Tawny Owl Paperie | Inky Inspiration group. I've used her sketches often but haven't started at the beginning and worked my through them all.

Today I have used Sketch 20~

I used the Unity Stamps Chirp Up stamp set with Swing into Spring 6x6 papers for my card. I think it turned out so super sweet!!

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

Hello Tweet Friend

I'm playing along with Kendra's Card Challenge 22 again today! Today I'm using Sketch #2 along with the Unity Stamps July 2025 Kit of the Month and the Barefoot On The Porch papers.

I reversed the placement of the image as it flowed better with the bird facing into the card instead of off the card.

I think this is such a happy card and hopefully it will help someone to smile!

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

Ok, Fine. Happy Easter.

Another Easter card to share today that I made for my kids. I waited until after Easter to post these so they wouldn't see them.

This card uses the fun Delightfully Feral stamp set from Unity Stamps. This bunny just makes me giggle so much!!

I wanted to wait until after Easter to share the cards I created for my kids so that they wouldn't happen to see them. 

I used Unity Stamp Somebunny's Grumpy Pissy Kitty for today's card. The expression on the cats face just cracks me up!

You Deserve A Pig Thank You

It's been a long time since I've done a complete set of cards using Kendra's Card Challenge so I set a goal for myself to do all 15 cards for the new #KCC22 by the end of the challenge, June 30, 2026.

I haven't been very successful at cutting the 6 different papers like the challenge is designed to do so I just do each sketch individually, which works out great for me!

Today's card uses Sketch #1. I adjusted some of the layers to fit my image but I feel you can still see the sketch. This stamp, Wilbur, from Unity Stamps is just so darn cute! I love it!

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

A Day To Treasure Cards

I wanted to have some wedding cards at my recent craft fair earlier in the month so I sat down with the Unity Stamp Set, A Day To Treasure and just had fun creating!

I started by re-creating THIS CARD. If it isn't broken, why fix it, right? I did change the color of the flowers and the size of the scalloped rectangle that the wedding couple are in.

The second card uses some pretty papers from Not 2 Shabby and some greens and blues.

I have to say I am finally happy with my "wedding card" creations! This stamp set truly makes it so easy to create these wonderful wedding cards.

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