Life Is A Journey!

 Hello everyone.  I have a card today for the February Unity stamps Co. Challenge.  It's really fun.  Create In Layers Challenge and a optional suggested color combo.

Let's Get Started:

I had so much fun making this card.  I finally got to use Tweetest Friends Stamp from KOM July 2025.  I stamped this bird image on Hammermill 100lb. with memento Tuxedo ink.  I colored it in with my Copic markers and cut it out with my paper trimmer.  I also used some Peeled Paint Distress Oxide to ink blend the greenery to give more green.

Next, I cut out some squares with a square die from Waffle Flower Crafts using white cardstock. I ink blended one with peeled paint Distress Oxide ink and the other square I colored with my Copic markers. I used my heart paper punch from Unity Stamp Co. and punched out some ink blended Peeled Paint Distress Oxide left over on my paper and made a stencil.  So on cream cardstock I ink blended hearts from that homemade stencil so fun.  I love to do that.  I cut out a green A2 panel 41/4 x 5 1/2.  I made a A2 card base same size and began glueing all my elements. Sentiment is from Unity Stamp Co.  I cut out a heart with a heart die and white cardstock and colored it with my Copic markers.  I love how my card came out even if my squares were a little bigger but I still think it's cute.

Copic Markers Used:

Bird Y11, YR31, YR21, YR12

R20 Cheek

Greenery YG03 and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide ink

Bear Cards Using Unity Stamp Co. KOM July 2025

 Hello my friends I'm so excited to finally color up this cute Bear Wilder Still who's been sitting on my desk from Unity Stamp Co. KOM July 2025.  With this month almost over yay I made 2 cards using this kit.  Without further ado here are my cards.

I had so much fun coloring 1 bear that I stamped another.

I first started with this card.  I stamped and heat embossed using Versafine Onyx ink and WOW Clear Gloss embossing powder on watercolor paper cold pressed 110 pounds.  I colored with my Tim Holtz watercolor pencils, water brush, and water.  I then fussy cut it out.  

I used some light brown cardstock and ran it through my die cutting machine using a Spellbinders Leaves embossing folder and inking the folder before with Hero Arts Hero Hues Moss ink cube. I cut the embossed background and ink blended with a blending brush from Kat Scrappiness and Gina K Designs Faded Brick ink cube. At first I was going to ink sporadic leaves but I decided to do all.  I stamped a sentiment from the kit using the same red ink and then fussy cutting around it.  I grabbed a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and put my card together.  My embossed background is glued with craft foam and my sentiment with a 1/4 foam strip.  I then added some red glitter enamel dots from my stash.

Here is my next card.  I stamped this bear with Memento Tuxedo ink on Neenah Solar White 110 pounds.  I colored with my Copic Markers and then fussy cut it out.  I used the same embossing folder but using Neenah paper this time and inking the embossing folder with Caramel ink from Hero Arts.  I really love how this background came out.  I cut down my background using my paper trimmer.

I also used Elliptical Oval Dies from Spellbinders with colored cardstock.  I stamped my sentiment with the same ink and cut it to fit with my paper trimmer.  I glued my embossed background wonky to my brown card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 A2.  I also put my oval and popped up foam sentiment wonky too for fun.  I embellished with some gems from Love from Lizi and added some white gel pen accents.  I had so much fun making these Fall Bear Cards.  I love this cute bear.  Now off to hopefully use more of this KOM before the next one comes.
