Do you ever go completely blank when you need to make a card for a guy? I have a formula that almost always works for me: keep the layout simple, use colors that feel a bit masculine (really depends on the guy here), and add some humor. I grabbed the Bagged…
I’m all about getting multiple cards from one stamp set, so I grabbed the Heirloom Mum and Autumn Archives paper pack from Unity Stamp Company and made three. I kept the stamping and ink blending simple, then changed up the layout for each one. Same supplies, three different looks, and that gorgeous mum gets to be…
Fall stamps are not just for fall cards. I love using them for sympathy cards too, especially with rich, comforting colors. For today’s cards, I paired the Acorn Almanac stamp from Unity Stamp Company with an easy emboss resist technique. It gives you all that beautiful color with ink blending instead of coloring with…
I have a serious soft spot for adorable stamps. These little mice from Unity Stamp Company made me swoon and I couldn’t wait to ink them up. I kept today’s card sweet and simple with a little watercolor. Plus used an old school trick to add a bit of texture to…
I make cards all the time, yet somehow I’m still late sending birthday cards. I can’t figure out how that happens. Haha. So, I have a fun and quick belated birthday card idea for both of us when we are running behind. I used Unity Stamp Company’s new Eventually Yours stamp set…

Hi friends! Do you ever start with a simple stamped card and feel like it needs just a little something more? Sweet Bee Blooms from Unity Stamp Company is so pretty on its own, so I kept everything else soft and simple. A little stenciling, watercolor, and a few gold touches gave…
Hi friends! Today’s card is all about making simple daisies feel dramatic with one deep, moody watercolor background. I adore white daisies, so I wanted to keep them bright and let the color around them bring the dramatics. I’m creating with the new Daisy Defined stamp set from Unity Stamp Company, and…
Did you know Summerween is a thing? It’s basically Halloween with summer vibes and a fun excuse to enjoy adorable ghosts and spooky fun for those who want to celebrate Halloween year-round. I guess that explains why Halloween decorations are already sneaking into the stores earlier and earlier each year.…
Hi friends. Today’s card is quick & easy with simple stamping and watercolor. I love how much detail this lighthouse scene gives without making the coloring feel hard. I used A Light To Weather By from Unity Stamp Company with Distress Ink for a soft, breezy look that came together pretty darn quick. Just…
Hi friends! This quick vintage card started with two new releases from Unity Stamp Company and turned into the softest little hello. I used simple stamping, a bit of masking, and gentle ink blending to create that faded sepia look with just enough pink to make the flower glow. It feels easy,…
