Have a Tweet-rrific Birthday

 Hello I am back with a Spring card.  I love hearing the birds at my house in the yard it's so nice. I see bunnies and squirrels everyday too.  I thought I would use some birds on my card today for a Birthday Card.

On my card today, I used the Simon Says Stamp Tweet Friend Stamp set that came in the March 2025 card kit.  I love this kit and this is the 2nd card Ive made with it.  I first stamped the birdbath and branches on a Neenah 110 pound panel using my misti stamping platform and memento tuxedo ink.  Later I stamped the birds also on Neenah with memento ink.  Everything was colored using my alcohol markers copic and 1 Ohuhu marker.

I fussy cut my birds and I stamped a sentiment with Versafine Black Onyx ink that I fussy cut too.  My sentiment strip I cut out with my paper trimmer. I ink blended my background with some Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink and colored in some grass for my background.  I popped up 2 birds and my sentiments.  Everything else was glued with liquid glue and to a Neenah 110 pound A2 card base.  

I had so much fun with this card as it's not my usual colors that I normally use. I will be linking it up to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Happy Birthday Using Simon Says Stamp

Uniquely Unity By ANG Blossomgram Card

 Hello I have a floral card today using Unity Stamp Co, I love Unity stamp Co.  I recently signed up for the Uniquely Unity by ANG Membership.  So, I hope to share more Unity Stamp Co. with you.

I'm using the March kit and it's this pretty Blossomgram Rubber stamp and lovely sentiment.  I love how large this stamp is too.  I stamped and heat embossed the image on Hammermill cardstock 100 pound with WOW In The Navy embossing Powder. I love the navy embossing powder.  I had not embossed with it for a long time. 

 I colored the image with my alcohol markers mostly Copic markers and OLO Markers.  I went for a bright pink envelope. I have some in my stash so, this one might get mailed in one of those envelopes to match.

I fussy cut around the image.  I then chose to play around with my sprays for my backgrounds.  On one piece of white cardstock 110 pounds I spritz it with Distress Spritz in Picked Raspberry and Dina Wakley Lime Spray.  I let it dry and on another sheet sprayed Distress Mica Stain in Winterberry.  It kinda looks green but in person its bluish.  I let that piece dry and stamped my sentiment from the stamp set using Concord & 9th Midnight ink.  I cut my sentimen t with my paper trimmer.  I flicked some drops onto my Blossomgram image using Distress Spray Stain in Picket Fence.

I used Unity Stamp Co. Scallops and Rectangles Nesting Dies and Deckle and Stitches Nesting Dies to cut out my spritz backgrounds.  I also used a smaller die from the Deckle set to layer with my sentiment using navy cardsock 65 pounds.  I glued my card together to a A2 card base.  I popped up the Blossomgram image with and sentiment with foam tape.

I love how my card came out and I'm excited to receive Aprils kit.

Build Your Sketch Holiday Cardmakers Card Sketch For April

 Hello everyone.  Happy April.  I'm so happy to share a New Sketch from Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch 56.  This is a fun sketch that I believe you can use your scrap pattern papers.  A great way to use what you have to get your Holiday cards ready early for the year.

I chose some retired Prima pattern papers from a Christmas 6x6 paper pack called Santa Baby.  I love the pinks and mint in this collection.  I cut my papers accordingly to the sketch reference.  I stamped a cute gingerbread man stamp from a Unity Stamp Co. advent calendar set with black ink and colored it in simply.  I also fussy cut it out.  I felt it went with the gingerbread house and cookies and milk them from my pattern papers.

I used a chevron patterned A2 card base for my card with a sentiment strip ready for me from my stash from a retired Waffle Flower Label Maker Sentiments Stamp and Coordinating die.  I hope you join us this month we always have a prize.  Visit our FB group for lots of inspiration and a album for you to upload your card sketch project.

Another Card for Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch Card Challenge

 Hello everyone.  I'm back with another card  for Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch 55.  I hope you are enjoying the sketch as much as I am. I think you can batch a lot of Holiday cards using this sketch.  Pink & Main is our sponsor this month for a $25 GC. That's so amazing.

On this card, I used this cute Gingerbread man from Pink & Main Sugar and Spice Holidays stamp set. I stamped the cute image on white cardstock using the measurement from the sketch using Memento Tuxedo black ink and then colored it in with my copic markers.  I think the elements for this sketch is great for a small image or ephemera.  My sentiment was stamped in black ink from Pink & Main Hello Winter Stamp.

I used some pattern paper from my stash using the sketch measurements and glued everything to a A2 card base.  I love this card.  I hope you join us this month you still have time and there is a amazing prize.  I love Pink & Main.  Just upload your card to the FB group in the album for sketch 55.

Spring Card Using Savannah Girl

 Hello and Happy Spring.  I have a card today using Savannah Girl from Unity Stamp Co. who is a Angie Girl by Angie Blom. I fell in love with this set when I saw it.  I might have shouted out loud.  And of course I hurried and made a card with it when I received it.

I first stamped and heat embossed Savannah Girl rubber stamp on x-press blending cardstock using Versafine ink and clear embossing powder.  I then colored her in using my alcohol markers.  Next, I cut my paper using my paper trimmer.  I then ink blended with some blue ink left on my blending brush from a previous project.  

I then used a notebook edge die from MFT Stamps.  I also used a foiled plate background from my stash.  This one is from Aly Syberia called Glowing Geometry using black foil on white cardstock.  The floral pattern paper is from Catherine Pooler that I cut to use as a layer.  The Clouds die is retired from MFT Stamps called Petite Clouds that I cut out with white cardstock. 

 Lastly, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the Savannah Girl stamp using Versamark and white embossing powder on blue cardstock.  I fussy cut around it to fit better.  Next, I glued my foiled background to a A2 card base.  I also glued my floral pattern paper from Catherine Pooler's A Little Drizzle Paper Pad.  I popped up Savannah with foam tape and I popped up 2 clouds with foam tape.  My sentiment was also popped up with foam tape.  Everything was glued with liquid glue.  I love how my card came out, it was a lot of fun.

Card Sketch Using A St. Patrick's Day Gnome

 Hello I have a fun St. Patrick's Day Card today.  I used a Digital Stamp Illustrated by Crystal Minkler.  You can grab this Digital stamp for free if you are a Member of the Tawny Owl FB Group.  I chose to use my Gnome for the Top Inky Inspiration Sketch 30.

This is the Lucky Gnomie Digital Stamp Illustrated my Crystal Minkler isn't it cute?  I printed it on some Hammermill cardstock 100 pounds and then colored it with my alcohol markers.  I then fussy cut her out.

I found some Doodlebug Design Pattern Paper 6x6 in my stash.  I cut the flowers and stripes pattern paper according to the sketch 2 x 5 1/4.  I basically used 1 sheet double sided.  I like that the papers coordinate nicely. I used the Lucky Gnomie as my Any Shape.  The flower ephemera is also from Doodlebug and it's considered my other any shape.  

I found some Chevron Pattern paper A2 card bases in my stash,  so I used this as my 4 1/4 x 5 1/ 2.  I had the green sentiment strip in my stash using Taylored Expressions that I glued to a white strip as the card sketch.  I had so much fun with this card.  Thanks to Crystal for this fun sketch and digital stamp.  I also we be linking my card to the Simon Says Stamp A Bit O' Green Monday Challenge. I love using Pattern Paper and sketches for favorite techniques on my cards.
