Feel All the Feels: Heart Shaped Window Card
Let’s talk about how cute these little birds are from Unity Stamp Company! They give this card lots of personality plus all the feels. I’m getting creative by bringing the inside out with a fun heart shaped window. It’s a darling way to send some loving support someone’s way. Lots of little tips are included in today’s video. Hope you’ll join me for some crafty time!

We Feel for You
What Makes This Card Special

- Adorable, quirky birds with so much personality
- Simple Copic coloring to make those little birdies pop
- A stitched heart detail for subtle texture inside

Creative Tips & Techniques
- Simplify Your Coloring: Keep the Copic coloring simple! Just 2–3 shades per bird give them so much life without overcomplicating things. Copic colors: YG13, YG17; BG11, BG13; R20, R22; Y11, Y13; YR14; W1
- Perfect Stamp Alignment: Use a stamping platform, like the MISTI, to perfectly align the birds and ensure crisp, clean impressions every time. It makes layering or repeat stamping a breeze!
- Align Your Die Perfectly: Make sure to line up the heart die carefully so the design flows seamlessly from front to inside. It’s worth the extra time!
- Add Subtle Texture: A little texture goes a long way. Try using a stitched heart die—it’s such an easy way to elevate the card without adding bulk.
- Let the Stamps Shine: Use the Flock Talk stamp set to its full potential. With so many sentiment options, it’s easy to customize this card for any occasion.
- Don’t Forget the Inside: The inside of your card is a great spot to add more love or a fun surprise, like the stitched heart detail or that cute little worm!
