Christmas Window Scene for Unity Stamps + Prize

Welcome back, to day 2 of my stint with the Unity Stamp Company as their Growing in Unity Girl. Today, I'm featuring the September 2015 Kit of the Month called, "Our Heart to Yours".

This was a lot of fun to make but due to creative and time factors, I don't have a tutorial but I do have a short video below. Although the products that I used are from one of the kits of the month, you can purchase the tree separately in the Spruce up the Season stamp set, which at this writing, is on sale!

If you'd like to see a 4 minute walk through with some technique tips and tricks, check out this video to see how this was put together and products used. I'd love for you to subscribe to my YouTube Channel and give me a thumbs up!

Don't forget to comment on my blog every day this week to be entered to win one of two grab bags of 25 random stamps from Unity!

All About the Eggs with Two Paper Divas Stamps

I've got a fun card today, featuring one of the new March release stamp sets, "It's All About the Egg", from Two Paper Divas. There are 6 different eggs with this set and I had so many ideas playing out in my head, it was a bit like sensory overload. So, I decided to pick one egg, so I could get on with it, haha, and mull over the other eggs another time.

I think it was Melissa, who did a project recently that featured a retired basket stamp. Oh, how I wish I had that stamp! Instead, I made my own basket, drawing it out and stamping it with the TPD background stamp on textured cardstock.

For my eggs, I stamped with a couple juicy inks, then used clear embossing powder with my heat tool and colored in with a little watercoloring. I love this speckled egg, it is just too cute and there are so many different ways you can go with this stamp. I also added a sentiment from last month's release, "For Peeps Sake", another new favorite of mine. I did a little masking on some die-cut clouds and popped them out with foam squares for dimension.

**NEWS FLASH!! - Check in with Two Paper Divas on March 11-13th as we're having a blog hop and there will be prizes to be won!! Then on March 14th, we're having our monthly challenge with another prize up for grabs. Lots of fun to be had!

Product Review for Heartfelt Creations - Coffee Talk (Part 1)

(FTC Disclosure: I have been compensated in product for this review. All opinions are my own and are reflective of products that I use and love.)

When I heard that Heartfelt Creations was coming out with a coffee themed collection, my heart leapt. I'm slightly obsessed with coffee. Pair that with an added craft obsession and we have a
win-win, folks. Introducing, the Heartfelt Creations Coffee Talk collection.

So, what separates this collection from others? Well, first, we're talking Heartfelt Creations, folks. We're also talking earth tones; the basic beginnings of any good cup of brew, or delicate, porcelain pot of honey sweetened tea. Add to that, varying shades of blue, which any good color analyst will tell you, represents peace and tranquility. Do you see where I'm going with this?

I've used elements from several different pages for the scrapbook layout above. Trying to decide which background to use? Difficult. They're all so lush and detailed and well...... amazing! I finally settled on this wordy background full of quotes and sentiments.

Heartfelt Creations has really put a lot of thought into this collection. There are so many special elements from tags and borders to framed images that are perfect for card making. I could make cards all day with these lovely papers; the list of coffee lovers in my life is literally endless.

I had to add one of the sentiments above, that says "I like my sugar with coffee and cream." That is SO, me. Below, I've listed my current top 3 favorite coffee blends.

There was so much to discover with this new collection. I thought I'd split my review into 2 parts and feature their large Coffee Mug Cling Stamp, later this week. The stamp is so large, it nearly spans the entire length of my hand. I love it!

For now, feel free to shop and peruse the Coffee Talk section at Heartfelt Creations, here. Take a peek at Emma Lou's video which is chock full of delightful tips, techniques and creations from the design team. Look for my post later this week, featuring the Coffee Mug Stamp, water coloring and a mug shaped card. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Create Your Own Watercolor Die Cut

One of the things that I love about art is, you never know where it will take you. For example, I started out with a stamped image today, from the Unity Stamp Company. I knew I wanted to build a flower around it, so I grabbed my Tombow Dual Brush pens and started coloring.

Well, one thing led to another and before I knew it, I had not only orange, but blue and gray pens in my hand. And, a paintbrush and water.

I ended up blending my colored image with droplets of water and blotting with a paper towel; a watercolored, hand trimmed, die cut image that I plan to use on a card for a friend in the hospital. This took about 15 minutes to create, while on my break at work. I grabbed some supplies from home today, threw them in a bag, but forgot my adhesive. Oopsy. So, I'll assemble my card later.

This was stamped and colored on white textured cardstock. I let it dry with my little fan blowing on it for about 10 minutes. The white dots? Seeing as how I not only forgot my adhesives, but my white gel pen as well..... yup, this is a liquid Bic White Out correction pen that I had on my desk. Fun!

Give it a try and make your own fun, watercolored, die cut elements for cardmaking.

Additional Supplies: Unity Stamp Co sentiment from the Feel Better Soon April 2014 Sentiment Kit

Watercolor Teacup with Prima and Tombow

There are a couple really fun blog hops going on right now, and I thought it was the perfect time to break in this stamp from Prima Marketing Flowers.

I chose to watercolor using my Tombow Dual brush pens and added some tiny, Pretty Pink Posh sequins from the Christmas mix, held in place with Ranger Stickles glitter glue in Eucalyptus.

I was going to make a card but instead, I fashioned a stand-up display piece from my Anna Griffin Pretty Papers cardstock. To complete this lovely ensemble, I created a double bow from May Arts satin ribbon, to coordinate with the colors in the teacup. Some washi tape behind the back bottom fold and a magnetic strip help to balance my display.

I'm linking up to these blog hops below. Join in with your own newly made creations as well! You can link your coffee, tea or cocoa creation here at Coffee Loving Cardmakers:

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop time! Mug shaped card with Fused gift card pocket!

It's that time again. Time for the Coffee Lover's Cardmaking Blog Hop. The theme this time is SUMMER and I've got the perfect "blend" for my creation. Frappuccino, anyone? Yes, please!

For my project, I've made a fun, Splashin' Mug shaped card using my Eileen Hull Sizzix Mug die, Fancy Pants Designs papers and elements from the Nautical collection, Skittles from Doubleclick Connection and my We R Memory Keepers Fuse. (I do have some affiliate links below, so if you should decide to shop, I do appreciate it. Doing so, allows me to offer the occasional prize on my blog!)

(Pssst.... the Sizzix Mug & Spoon Die is on sale!!)

Sizzix - Vintage Kitchen Collection - Bigz Die - Mug and Spoon - $15.99
from: Scrapbook.com

I cut 3 of the mug shapes and created a gift card pocket with my We R Memory Keepers - Photo Sleeve Fuse (from: Scrapbook.com) leaving an open slit at the top to insert a gift card, which is sandwiched between the card front and a blank mug shape (to hide all the adhesive). The whipped cream on the cup? It's from a snow marker I snagged after Christmas on clearance. It's not just for snow!

BONUS TIP! Stack up to 4 sheets of card stock when die cutting in your Big Shot, Cuttlebug, etc., for making quick multiples!

To make the fun chat bubbles and foil sunglasses, I used My Favorite Things Photo Booth dies. I ran some Tombow Power Bond adhesive over cardstock, laid a piece of foil on top, then ran both through my Cuttlebug. Super easy! All the word elements are Fancy Pants Design as well.

This fun card will fit inside a 6x6 envelope, dimensions here are approximately 5"w x 6"l.

It was a little top heavy with the gift card inside, but the pocket can be removed by gently prying off the blank inner panel.

Want to join the hop? Here's the link to check out all the creations and link up your new creation as well. Be sure you follow the rules. The hop begins June 5th and ends June 12, 2015:
