Growing in Unity Day 5 – Kindness is Like Snow

Posted on by maryredjr

I love kindness sentiments. I work at an elementary school and our first goal is to “be kind to kids.” So I am always on the lookout for sets that include kindness quotes. I made this card for one of our brand new teachers. I hope she likes it.

This card features the Elsa Girl stamp from Unity Stamp Company. I simply stamped the image in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored with my Copic markers. The sentiment I used is included in this stamp set. The other sentiment is “stay warm and cozy.” Both sentiments are very versatile, don’t you think?

Please leave a comment for your chance to win one of two $20 gift cards from Unity Stamp Company. I have really enjoyed reading your comments! And don’t forget to check out their end-of-year clearance sale.

I had a blast this week creating with Unity products. I am, and will always be a huge fan!

Thanks for stopping by!

I woke up this morning to a winter wonderland! I guess it was time for snow since it’s already mid January. I am fortunate to have the day off, so I thought I’d join in some challenge fun.

Drink Up Witches

Posted on by maryredjr

I have been having so much fun creating cards with products from The Rabbit Hole Designs !

This Halloween card features the adorable witch from the Cocktail Witch stamp set. I colored her earlier in the month as part of #thedailymarker30day coloring challenge. I colored with Copic markers and a little bit of Prismacolor colored pencils. I used the coordinating dies to cut out my witch.

For my background, I wanted to use the newly released Cat Eye Stencil. To start, I ink blended Black Soot and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxides onto Hammermill 110# white card stock to create a night sky. I used a circle mask to create the moon. Next, I splattered Confetti White Perfect Pearls to add some stars. Then, using a sponge dauber on my stencil, I used versamark embossing ink. I decided to use clear embossing powder to add shine. Lastly, I used Distress Oxide inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed and a bit of Carved Pumpkin to color the moon. I love how this background turned out!

To finish the card, I added the sentiment and embossed with silver sparkle embossing powder. I thought the silver looked good with the splattered stars.

Halloween cards are so fun to create. I hope my card inspires you to create some spooky cards!

Peppermint Mocha Season

Posted on by maryredjr

I had so much fun creating this card for the Coffee Loving Cardmaker’s Fall/Winter blog hop!

My entry

I started by stamping this adorable image from Stamplorations recent release with Momento Tuxedo Black ink. Then, I used my Copic markers to color it. I really enjoyed creating my mocha swirl inside the cup! Since I don’t have dies, I needed to fussy cut my colored image. My background was created by die cutting a tan piece of cardstock with Lawn Fawn’s Quilted Backdrop and adhered that to my card base. I added foam tape to the back of my cup image to give my card some dimension. Lastly, I added sparkly washi tape to add some more detail to my card.

I think I am ready for Peppermint Mocha season! How about you?

A Rose for Mom

Posted on by maryredjr

It’s time to start thinking about how we can honor the Mother’s in our lives. My mom loved roses and she would have loved the projects I made with this new stamp set from Divinity Designs.

I was fortunate to be a guest designer for Divinity Designs this month. I really fell in love with this new set – My World Stamp/Die Duo. It has the perfect sentiments for creating Mother’s Day projects.

Here are a couple of cards I created using this new stamp and die set.

I also thought it would be fun to create a Mother’s Day themed Timeless Tote.

I decided to use glitter paste and the new Rose Mixed Media Stencil on the front pocket to add some sparkle and texture.

This pocket is the perfect size to hold a gift card! Inside the tote I placed a small pack of tissues and a small hand sanitizer. We can’t have too much of that these days!

Happy Mother’s Day!
