Hello everyone… I am back again today as the Growing In Unity Girl. For the next 5 days, I will be sharing with you projects featuring stamps from the Unity Stamp Company. And if you have not yet seen my first project for the Growing in Unity Day 1, you can go here. For this Day 2, I have more CAS Christmas cards to share with you.
Today, I made 2 card sets with 1 design. They are easily mass-produced for Christmas cards. On this card I used this preview Kit Of The Month – October 2017:
The first card set, I used the 3 snowflakes and one sentiment on my mixed media cards:
I created the background using heat-embossing resist technique with Color Burst Powder. If you do not have Color Burst Powder, you can also use watercolor paint for this technique. Since we are working with lots of water, I prefer using watercolor papers. Heavy weight 110 lbs cardstock can handle water, but not as good as watercolor papers.
First, I stamped all backgrounds with Versamark ink pad using Mini MISTI. Then, I added the mixture of White embossing powder and Hologram embossing powder on them and heat set them with craft heater. Snowflakes are white and sparkly!
Then I sprayed the panels with some water, sprinkled the Color Burst Turquoise Powder on each of them. And watched them spreading and covering the panel by tilting the paper in random directions… One very little sprinkle can do the magic! I used small round watercolor brush to help some of the color to spread.
I dried them with craft heater, and I added some sprinkle of white paint on each panel with fan brush. I love how each of them turn out different to each other. Just like snowflakes, none of them ever the same!
And then… I dried them again with craft heater and trimmed the paper into 4″ x 5.5″ for the background panels. I added them on the black cards with Tombow Mono Permanent Adhesive runner.
For the sentiment, I cut out white cardstock into paper strips and stamped the sentiment on each of them with Memento Dew Drop Summer Sky. Then I cut them into banner shaped.
I found out that I run out of 3D foam tapes! But I have some white fun foam in stash so I used them as replacement for 3D foam tapes 🙂 I simply cut the fun foam into smaller sizes than the sentiment banners, added them on each back of the banner with strong liquid glue. Once they all dried, I added them on the cards.
My first card set is done.
And for the second card set, I simply stamped the image directly on the white cards with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I decided not to color them.
Then I stamped the sentiment on light purple cardstocks with the same ink pad, and trimmed them into banner shape.
With the same step on the first card set, I added the fun foam on the back of the sentiment banners and added them on each card with the same glue.
I finished these cards with some purple sequins for extra sparkle on them. Card set 2 is done.
I hope these cards today inspire you to create with Unity Stamp Company today! And I entered these cards for the UNITY {show & tell} Facebook Group – Holiday Card Challenge. This week theme is No Red No Green! How about that? Challenging right…creating Christmas cards with no red and no green on them 🙂
