I have another, what could be Valentine’s Day card but works for anytime someone could use a little pick me up. I used the Wee Little Love Courier from Unity, I just love those cute big eyes!
I paired it with some paper from Stampin Up! The heart dies are some old CTMH ones and once again, happy to use another button from my stash.
Now be sure to grab this cutie while it is on sale!
Slowly easing out of winter cards… so that means you’ll start seeing more Valentine and Spring ones around here. Today I have a Valentine one featuring one of Unity’s newest stamp sets Hop to My Heart – isn’t this bunny cute?
I have paired it with some paper from Stampin Up! the background that the image is on is actually an old Journaling card from Elle’s Studio – feels good when I use something from my old stash. How often do you try to do that? I am on a mission to use more of my old stamps, dies and papers at least once a week, but we shall see! I fussy cut the image out and mounted on foam squares.
Be sure to grab the stamp set while it is on sale!

I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog again with my second card for this month’s Lattes & Layers theme which is Sweater. For this card I have used the White Winter 6 X 6 pad from Unity. I love the designs and colors in this – very hygge 😊. The Sweater knit paper made a perfect wrap for the cup don’t you think?
I paired it with the Simon Says Stamp Warm Mug And Everything Nice. It is hard to tell from the photo but I embossed the white cardstock with snowflakes, thus entering this in the SSSIG challenge – Use and Embossing Folder – mine is from CTMH
Now if you haven’t played along in the Lattes & Layers challenge I would love to see what you create!
When I saw the challenge over at Simon Says Monday Challenge – something with wings, I knew exactly which stamp I wanted to use because aren’t these birds the cutest? Wouldn’t you feel better receiving a card with one of these cuties from Wing and a Prayer by Unity?
For both cards I wanted the feeling of being all stitched up so lots of sewing happening LOL!
I created this Get Well Soon one first using a sketch from my sketches (see link at the top for the ones I have uploaded thus far). I dug out some very old MFT dies – the bandaids and the get well soon. I thought the dotted paper in the A Little Tenderness Paper pack would work well as a bandaid.
I mounted the bird on foam squares for some dimension.
Here’s the sketch I used, see the others HERE
Now while I had the stamps and paper out I wanted to see what I could do with the scraps from this first card and this is what I came up with. I just played around with them, trimming a couple to fit better. Once again the bird is mounted on foam squares. I have such a button stash and don’t use them hardly at all, but I knew that I would have one that was a good color for this card so yay for using some stash LOL!
Now head on over to Unity and grab the stamp set and papers as they are on sale right now!
Linking up to the Simon Says Challenge
We have had some pretty gorgeous winter days, sunny and cool, and it got me in a Spring mood. I couldn’t wait to ink up this cute Bee stamp called Peek-A-Bee from Unity.
I paired it with some old CTMH papers that I thought were perfect for it. I fussy cut the honey jar from some of the pattern paper and added it to some white cardstock then made it into a tag. I also added some liquid glass to the eyes for some interest. The stitched frame is from Stamplorations.
Now be sure to go grab this set while it is on sale!
Unity has some fun new releases in celebration of Angie’s birthday. Of course when I saw this image from the Hot Flash and Happy Hour set (it is on sale right now!), I knew it would pair perfectly with the Wine Collection from Echo Park. Can you relate to either of them? Although I am not a drinker, I love the full bodied and fabulous LOL
I then had to create another card bectause I loved the sentiment on the Ephemera (even though I don’t swear either – man I am boing LOLOL), ‘Lets try it out’ haha. I cut apart the stamped sentiment to add into the 3 blocks I put down. I often cut apart stamped sentiments to make them work for what I am doing, do you?
Now go grab this stamp set while it is on sale!
of course if you are looking for the paper, you can get it here:
Playing along with the Inspired By challenge and the theme challenge over at Coffee Lovers Papercrafters which is Sweater. I used the Perfect Girl Angiegirl paired with Talking Out Loud (on sale so grab it, such a fun and versatile stamp set) and the It’s a Mug Hug. I paper pieced her sweater with a scrap piece. I used to paper piece all of the time and haven’t done it for a while – you just may see more…. 😉 The Snowflake paper is also from Unity it is the Snowy Winter Greetings.
Here are the links to the stamp sets I used:
I played along with a few challenges because I just got this Unity Snowmie stamp and I was excited to ink him up. Love how big he is. I used some scraps of my Simple Stories papers. I embossed the white background to add some interest but still keep it CAS. The sentiment is from the Hello Warm Fuzzies Whit Kit (on sale so grab it, because those snowmen and penguins in the kit are super cute!)
I am playing along with the CAS on Friday challenge which is Snowman. I combined it with the sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge and the Simon Says Challenge – use something new
Today I am sharing a card that could be used for someone who just needs a hug. Wouldn’t you love to receive a little happy mail, when you’re feeling down?
I used the Wee Little Love Courier from Unity and paired it with my Sweet Valentine Wishes collection available in my ETSY shop.
I just love this cute little guy, what about you? If so, be sure to grab him as it is on sale right now.
I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog today and since it is a new month there’s a new theme challenge happening. This month the theme is Sweater. I knew thisGretchen Girl Stamp would work perfectly for this challenge and I have used a sentiment from Warm & Cozy Season
I used a sweater embossing folder to emboss the main card base, though it is a little hard to tell.
Check out the stamps and paper here (click on images)
