Hello everyone… It is Growing in Unity Day 5. For today, I have couple of kindness cards to share with you all.

It is my last day sharing my projects with Unity, but it doesn’t mean I won’t be sharing in the future. I am so grateful for all of you have taken time to stop by my blog this week and leaving me so many sweet comments about the projects. It is just because… YOU ALL ARE SO KIND!!!

It is a CAS card with a shaker that I created the I Consider You Special – Sentiment Kit. It is a fun, simple card to make.

I stamped the circle doily on a white cardstock with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink pad on a white. And then I cut the middle of the doily with circle die. But if you don’t have circle die that fits, you can simply fussy cut it with scissors. I fussy cut the rest of the doily with scissors.

On a piece of watercolor paper, I stamped the flower and butterfly with VersaFine Onyx Black ink pad, and then I added some colors on it using smooshing technique with dye inks and water. I dried the watercolor ink with craft heater, and then fussy cut them with scissors.

I stamped the sentiment in the middle on the card with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink pad. I added a piece of acetate plastic on the doily and then added some 3D foam to create that shaker doily. I added it on the card.

On both my second and third cards, I use the Let Your Wishes Fly – Sentiment Kit. And I used the stamping with acrylic stamping block, watercolor markers, and water to create both backgrounds. I dried them with craft heater.

I stamped the images in the middle of the backgrounds with VersaFine Clair ink pads. Then, I stamped the sentiment also with VersaFine Clair ink pad. I cut them with Fancy Frames die set.

I created both watercolor backgrounds for the cards with CP dye inks and water. I dried them with craft heater and then added them on white cards with permanent adhesive. And then I added the image and sentiment panels with 3D foam tape.

Unity Sentiment Kits are great kits to make cards for your friends and families to show how much you love and care for them.

Hello everyone… It is Growing in Unity Girl Day 4. And for today, I have couple of girly cards to share with you all.

Unity Stamps Company has many collection of stamps, and one of them is the AngieGirl collection. They are fabulous sets to use when you want to make girly themed projects. I used five of the AngieGirl stamps on my cards today.

They are pretty simple to make. I made all cards in the same steps:

• Stamp each girl image on a watercolor paper with VersaFine Onyx Black ink pad (or any water-proof ink, such as pigment ink).
• Color them with your favorite coloring medium. I used Arteza Real Brush Pens and water brush on mine.
• Dry the watercolor paint with craft heater (skip this step if you use colored pencils only).
• Trimmed the panel to 4″x 5.5″
• Add each panel on the card with permanent adhesive.
• Stamp each sentiment on a cardstock (I used matching color cardstock to each girl).
• Die cut the sentiments (or you can simply trim them into sentiment strip or banner. I used various die sets on my cards).
• Add each sentiment on the card with 3D foam tape (or any adhesive you like).

And here are the close up of each card…

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Collaboration Blog Hop with Coffee Loving Cardmakers and Paper Sweeties. We are celebrating the Paper Sweeties’ 7th Birthday!

This blog hop starts at Coffee Loving Cardmakers where also you can see the full list of participants. You should arrive from my teammate, Lori.

On both of these cards, I use the Keep Calm and Drink Coffee acrylic stamp and its matching Sweet Cuts dies set.

First card is a step card. I cut out a piece of heavyweight white cardstock with a Side Step Card Die.

For the side panel, I added a piece of geli printed paper that I had in my stash for the background panel. And for the step side, I added the pattern using Make Marks 1 ARTplorations Stencil, Blending Brush, and CP It’s A Boy ink pad.

I cut out a white cardstock using the mug die. Then I used the negative die cut to stamp the mug using Mini MISTI. I stamped it with VersaMark ink pad and sprinkled it with some clear embossing powder. I did it twice to get extra thick embossed image.

After that, I colored it with Sakura Koi Water Colors and waterbrush. I love rainbow look on this mug!

I stamped the steam image on the side panel with Pinecone VersaFine Clair ink pad and then I added the mug on it with 3D foam tape.

On the side steps, I stamped the other sentiments from the same stamp set using Warm Breeze VersaFine Clair ink pad and Tulip Red VersaFine Clair ink pad.

My second card is a clean-and-simple card. I started with creating that watercolor background using Vintage Photo Distress ink pad and water. I added the ink on craft mat, spray with water, and smooshed in the watercolor paper. I dried in between adding colors.

After that, I added some splatters using Marabu Art Spray Cocoa. I dried the whole panel with craft heater and then I stamped the sentiment and coffee steam image with Pinecone VersaFine Clair ink pad.

I trimmed the panel and then distressed the edges with distresser tool. I added it on the card with E-Z Runner Grand adhesive.

I cut out another heavyweight white cardstock with the mug die, and then stamp the mug with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink pad. I use the negative die cut with Mini MISTI to help center the stamping.

I added the mug on the card with 3D foam tape and embellished the card with some sequins.
