Where I Want to Be

Hello again! I am so excited to share with you my projects for the Beth Duff Designs collaboration with Unity Stamp Company! Two of my FAVORITE companies working together!

I used the set called "Warmth of Home" which is the perfect set for a Christmas themed card! I decided to do one card two ways. My first is with Copic Markers. I went with Cool Gray colors for the couch, Warm Gray for the blanket, then reds and greens for the pillows. I hit the blanket and red pillow with clear Wink of Stella to add a bit of glitter.


My next card, I used Prismacolor Colored Pencils on kraft paper. For this card, I used Warm Gray colors for the couch, for the blanket I used the Silver with the lightest Cool Gray, and again red and green. I again added Wink of Stella, which isn't amazing on colored pencils, but I love glitter, so I had to try!


The paper for the background is Vintage 45, I thought it looked like a wallpaper. The floor is kraft paper cut with a Penny Black die. The rug is the crochet stamp from "Warmth of Home" stamped on the reverse side of the printed paper. The sentiments are so sweet in this set, I have a lot of family that is spread out, so "home is where I want to be" really spoke to my heart. I stamped it onto a stitched rectangle using Catherine Pooler Eucalyptus ink.


Now it's time to hop! We have TWO amazing Unity filled prize packages to give away. Leave a comment on EACH design team member’s blog in the hop for your chance to win. {We will announce the winners on the Unity blog TUESDAY night.}

Adventures Abroad - Australia

It's time for something cute friends! This week is release week for Beth Duff Designs and the stamps are just adorable. You won't want to miss out!

I got to play with Adventures Abroad - Australia, and I think these little animals and the other images in the set are a great tribute to this beautiful land! I normally color with alcohol markers, but decided to try to flex my colored pencil muscles for these furry friends.

I got 4 of them colored up with my Prismacolor pencils, because I knew I wanted to use them, they are smaller images, so I was able to use more on one card! I used a lightly patterned pink paper for the background to keep it simple.


Next, I framed the emu, kookaburra, and kangaroo with white paper and some Vintage 45 paper, cut using Stampin' Up's Layering Circle dies. I pulled out a fancy frame die from Stampin' Up and used Catherine Pooler's Eucalyptus ink for the sentiment. I topped it off the hat from the set!

I had one little guy left over, and decided the koala with the "cheers" sentiment would make for a cheery note card. I started with the a yellow patterned paper from Sunny Studios and stamped the sentiment directly on it at an angle using Catherine Pooler Manderine Spice ink.


I tucked my koala into the opposite corner and finished the card off with some dark green Nuvo drops from Tonic.

I can't wait for you to see all the other great sets the Beth Duff Designs team is showcasing! I know which are my favorites, but I am excited to hear what your's is!

You Slay Me

Every once in a while, I get a stamp set that makes me feel like a giddy teenager who lives off of soda, sitcoms, and any food I can find (had to fill that hollow leg!) Well, now my leg is no longer hollow and I can't drink soda without getting sick, but I still love a good sitcom!

This month, I received "Slay" from Kindred Stamps's July Release to showcase! This set takes me back to when vampire hunters and their friends could entertain me for hours.


My first project, I decided to go a bit Goth. I used a Sizzix embossing folder and dry embossed a sheet of grey cardstock. Next, I ran Ink On 3's embossing pad over the embossed paper and used Brutus Monroe's Ebony Embossing Powder to heat emboss the dry embossed sheet.


I colored my vampire hunter and her boyfriend (who happens to be a vampire!) with Copic markers. I've really been working on coloring blonde hair in more realistic shades, fewer yellows, more earth tones. I built a scene using some Halloween die cuts, the creepy tree and the gravestones really felt right for me. To finish the card, I used a die cut from Stampin' Up's Project Life set and picked out this perfect sentiment which was heat embossed with Brutus Monroe Alabaster powder.

My next project, I used my characters in planner, I kept it simple with just some washi tape between days, the characters and a few star stickers.


It is clean enough to see what I have on my plate, but still makes me smile when I see it!

Last, I had to showcase the hunter's sidekicks. Sidekicks come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they are mentors that are always willing to step in and help kick butt, sometimes they're your best friend who may look sweet and innocent, but will shank a vamp to keep you safe.


I used some Graphic 45 paper that I received from a friend for the background. I found some pretty orange twine and another patterned paper that was orange to build my layout, the sidekicks went on Stampin' Up Layering Square die cuts. 

I pulled the other banners from the Stampin' Up Project Life die cut pack and used them for the sentiment. You know that my favorite sentiments are buildable, this set does not disappoint on that front! Catherine Pooler's Manderine Spice ink matched the oranges on the card already, so I used it to stamp out the sentiment.

The sets from this month are a bit of a throwback, and we hope you enjoyed the trip down memory lane with us. The Kindred Stamps team, myself included, hope that you've enjoyed reading about my card makes for this release. 

If you would like an opportunity to win shop credit please go and comment on everyone's blog post! One random winner will win a $10 shop credit, they will be contacted privately and announced in our Fan Club, Kindred Stamps Fan Club!
