Growing In Unity Day 5 | Kindness Cards

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.

Anything Goes With Dies | You Are In My Prayers

Hello everyone… I am here again with a clean and simple card that I created for Happy Little Stampers – Anything Goes With Dies August Challenge.

Head over to Happy Little Stampers blog for more inspirations and to link up your project.

On my CAS card today, I use the Perched Bird CUTplorations Die, Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies – CUTplorations, and Fond Expressions STAMPlorations set.

I started with creating the watercolor background with Distress Oxide ink pads and water. And then I sprinkled some water on it and dabbed it off with paper towel. I dried the panel with craft heater and then cut it with the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies and I added it on a white card with permanent adhesive.

I cut out a black cardstock with Perched Bird CUTplorations Die and I added it on a card with same adhesive. I stamped one of the sentiments from Fond Expressions STAMPlorations set on the right bottom card with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad.

Then, I added some white paint splatters on the card using brush and little bit of water.

I hope you all inspired by this card to play along with the challenge this month. I also enter this card at:

THANK YOU so much for stopping by!

Growing In Unity Day 4 | Girly Cards

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…
