Membership Wednesday ~ December 2025 KOM Peace, Paws & Possibility ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Before we get to my card for today, I just want to say a great big THANK YOU! Thanks for visiting my blog... if this is your first time or you're a frequent visitor, THANK YOU! I appreciate you! And I hope that you and your loved ones have a blessed new year! 

Today I'm sharing a fun & cozy card I made using a super cute stamp from the December 2025 Kit of the Month membership from Unity.  I stamped the fun socks with Black Amalgam ink and colored them up quick with a handful of Copic markers. I die cut them using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. 

Copic markers I used:

Heart Sock: C0, C2, C3, V000, V12, V15

Plaid Sock: V000, V12, BG10, BG34, C0, C2

Striped Sock: BG10, BG34, V000, V12, V15

I paired up the fun socks with the Monster Mayhem {paper pack}. So the whole time I'm making this card, I'm thinking... 2319!! 2319!! That's, of course, from the Monster, Inc. movie. Haha... it cracked me up anyhow. 

My card design was inspired by Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 31. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with this card and then I remembered this sketch and BAM! I love having these sketches to go back to. Makes card designing so easy peasy.

Here's a quick look at this month's Kit of the Month membership!

This cute stamp is also available separately in the Sole Mates stamps.

That's it for me today! I hope you've been INKspired to play with your membership stamps! 

Have a wonderful day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Membership Wednesday ~ November 2025 KOM Tinsel, Toasts & Truth Stories ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a sweet & cozy card I made using a super cute stamp from the November 2025 Kit of the Month membership from Unity. 

I'm really surprised that I haven't inked up this stamp already. I mean it has a book and cute pets! That's my jam! I stamped this cute scene on Stampers Select White Card Stock from Papertrey Ink. I fussy cut it and then I adhered it to a die cut circle of vellum. I die cut the circle using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}.

Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Hair: E51, E57, E59

Sweater: RV000, RV10, RV02

Book: C0, C2, E21, E23, E25

Cat: C0, C2, RV000, RV10

Dog: E51, E33

Pillow / Bedding: B000, B00, B91, B93, B95

I had these fun papers already cut in my paper pack so I thought why not use them?! The papers are from the Cozy Textiles {paper pack}. I used the colors in the papers as my palette for coloring. I adhered the pattern papers to a Kraft A2 top fold card base. I popped up the circle by just adding foam tape behind the image. I also popped up the sentiment with foam tape.

Membership Wednesday ~ October 2025 KOM Frost & Folklore Snowman ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a sweet wintry card I made using a cute stamp from the October 2025 Kit of the Month membership from Unity. 

I played with my Copic markers and white Prismacolor pencil and colored up this cute duo on some Kraft card stock. SO fun! 

Copic markers used:

Snowman: B000, B00, R20

Nose: YR20, YR15, YR68

Arms: E21, E25

Buttons: N0, N2, N4

Scarf: R20, R14, R29

Bird: Y11, Y15, Y35, B000, B00, B02

Heart: R14

I decided to keep the card simple with just some torn edges and a white layer peeking through the Kraft layers.

But I couldn't help adding some spatters to the card. Did I go a little overboard with the spatters? Maybe... but I love how it turned out! What do you think?

Here's a quick look at this month's Kit of the Month membership!

This adorable duo stamp is also available separately in the Frost & Feathers stamps.

That's it for me today! I hope you've been INKspired to play with your membership stamps!

Membership Wednesday ~ October 2025 KOM Frost & Folklore ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing 3 SUPER quick tags I made using stamps from the October 2025 Kit of the Month membership from Unity. 

These were so quick guys! Once I figured out what I was going to do, that is! I stamped the three tag images with Black Amalgam ink on Kraft card stock. I used circle dies from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies} to die cut each of them.

I also die cut pattern paper from the gorgeous new I'll be Home for Christmas {paper pack} using a slightly larger die from the same nesting dies. I adhered them together, punched a hole in the top with a 1/8" circle punch and added some twine. 

I thought they needed something else so I tied a few bows from the iridescent ribbon I got from Unity years ago. I adhered those to the tags with glue dots. Done. Super quick and easy. And, of course, they could easily be jazzed up with some coloring and/or bling. But I love them just like this. 

Here's a quick look at this month's Kit of the Month membership!

These amazing tag stamps are also available separately in the With Love, From Me stamps.

That's it for me today! I hope you've been INKspired to play with your membership stamps! 

Have a wonderful day!

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a fun holiday card featuring the cutest deer from the October 2025 Kit of the Month membership from Unity. 

I adore this sweet stamp!! I couldn't wait to ink him up! I stamped him and the sentiment with Amalgam Black Ink and colored him up with Copic markers.

Nose / Hearts: RV000, RV10, RV02

Hat: BG000, BG10, RV10, RV02

Outline: C0, C2

I die cut the background using a wonky stitched die from Gina Marie Designs. I adhered a piece of pretty plaid pattern paper from the Sugarplum Frost {paper pack} onto a white A2 top fold card base. I tore a the tree paper to fit in the corner and decided to go a little bigger with a piece of pink card stock.

Kinda looks like he's popping out a sugarplum hill to say hi! Haha... this was a pretty simple card once I had the design figured out.

Membership Wednesday ~ September 2025 BOM Merry Multipack ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a fun holiday card featuring the fabulous September 2025 Background of the Month membership called Merry Multipack from Unity Stamp Co. And I paired it up with the fun birds and snowman from the September 2025 Kit of the Month, also from Unity. 

You may be thinking... deja vu! And you're right! I shared a card last week with a similar design. I stamped another background only this time I flipped the colors around. I placed the Merry Multipack background stamps in my Stamp Platform and inked up the reindeer and 'ho ho ho' portions of the stamp with Lumberjack Plaid Distress Ink. After getting a nice crisp stamped image for those two sections, I cleaned off the stamps. And then I inked up the candy cane stripes and the plaid with Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink.

I die cut the background using the largest die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}. And then I adhered it to a white A2 top fold card base. I stamped the cute critters and sentiment with Black Amalgam ink and colored up the critters with Copic markers.

Here's a list of the Copic markers I used:

Snowman: C0, C2, R00, R20, YR20, YR15, E21, E23

Chick: Y11, Y35, YR20, YR15

Brown Chicken: E21, E23, E25, YR20, YR15, C0, C2

White Chicken: C0, C2, R20, R14, R27, YR20, YR15

Green Hat & Scarves: YG11, G24, G46, C0, C2

Red Ear Muffs, Scarves & Heart: R20, R14, R27

Ground: C0, C2

I fussy cut around this fun image leaving a white border and adhered it to the card along the edge of the scallops where the stitches are. It kind looks like they're all popping in from the card. I trimmed up the sentiment and popped it up on the card with foam tape.

Here's a quick look at this month's Background of the Month membership!

Membership Wednesday ~ September 2025 KOM Harvest to Holiday ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a quick Fall card featuring the gorgeous HUGE pumpkin from the September 2025 Kit of the Month membership called Harvest to Holiday from Unity Stamp Co. 

I stamped the script sentiment included in the kit several times on the left side of a piece of Kraft card stock. I then stamped the the pumpkin and the 'Fall Blessings' sentiment. I trimmed the panel to 4-1/2 x 4-1/2".

I ink smooshed the panel keeping the top right corner mostly free of ink. I used Spiced Marmalade, Carved Pumpkin, Abandoned Coral, and Gathered Twigs Distress Inks. Once I was happy with the ink smooshing, I dried the panel with a Wagner Precision Heat Tool. I colored the stem with a few Copic markers: E11, E25, E18.

I roughed up the edges of the Kraft layer with a Distress Tool from Tim Holtz. I adhered the panel to a 4-5/8" squared piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock from Stampin' Up. The script on the left side needed something to break it up so I wrapped the panel three times with natural May Arts Burlap String and tied a bow. I covered the back of the panel with foam tape leaving a space for the string and popped it up on a 5" squared piece of Early Espresso card stock, also from SU. The panel is adhered to a 10 x 5" Kraft card base that's scored at 5". I finished off the card with a few enamel dots from my stash.

Here's a quick look at this month's Kit of the Month membership!

Another option is to get this kit separately here... Pumpkin Hearth.

That's it for me today! I hope you've been INKspired to play with your membership stamps! Have a fab day!

Membership Wednesday ~ August 2025 KOM Season of Soft & Spooky ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a lovely Fall card featuring the beautiful leaves from the August 2025 Kit of the Month membership from Unity Stamp Co. 

I started with a white card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2". I masked the two ends with each with a piece of iCraft Pixie Tape. I blended Mustard Seed Distress Ink over the center portion of the card. I dried the ink with a heat tool and then applied an anti-static powder to the area. I stamped the two leaves with a watermark ink and then dusted the wet ink with clear embossing powder. I melted the powder with a heat tool.Once the embossed areas had cooled, I blended Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink over the area. I dried the area with a heat tool applied anti-static powder again. I stamped two more leaves with clear embossing ink and then sprinkled clear embossing powder over the wet ink. I melted the powder with a heat tool. So at this point I had the yellow and orange leaves on my masked panel.

I used the very same steps with the remaining leaves using Lumberjack Plaid and Vintage Photo Distress Inks. I finished off the panel with some Walnut Stain and Black Soot Distress Inks. The top left and bottom left leaves were done with Vintage Photo even though it looks a bit red. Not sure why. 

I used the same technique for this card that I shared a couple of years ago using the October 2022 Kit of the Month called Change & Direction. If the video above doesn't work you can use this link... Emboss Resist Technique | October 2022 Kit of the Month | Unity Stamp Co.

I stamped the sentiment with Black Amalgam ink and then trimmed the panel to 4 x 5-1/4". I wrapped the panel a few times with black burlap string and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to a black A2 top fold card base and then added a few reddish enamel dots.

Here's a quick look at this month's Kit of the Month membership!

Another option is to get this kit separately here... Grunge Grove.

Well, that's it for me today! I hope you've been INKspired to play with your membership stamps! Have a fab day!
