It's a new month with a new release from Unity Stamp Co. and this fall scene had me immediately thinking a shaker card with this beautiful leaf confetti I have!

 Here are some shaker cards I just HAD to design with this set from Unity Stamp Co.!

 I have a newfound love of Stellar ink!! Wow! I love the vibrant colour and the juicy ink pad!

 I am obsessing over Carly Tee Minner's Beary Sweet collection with Hero Arts and finally took the time to take her class that was included with the collection. I learned so many tips and tricks that I cannot wait to try out again soon!

 Here is my first card for the Unity Design Team! 

2025 Christmas Card Count: 1 + 1 = 2 

 Today I set out to make a birthday card and decided to try out another gumball shaker!

 It's our nephew's 7th birthday this week and here is the fun gumball shaker card I put together for him! 

 Good morning! I'm up on the Studio Katia Blog today sharing my Birthday Balloons Shaker Pocket Card. I started out by creating a base for my card using the Mini Slimline: Small Hearts Cover. I used some low tack tape to cover up the pierced detail around the cards so that I could maintain a clean white border. Next, I took out the Birthday Balloons Duo Stencil and inked up the first stencil with some Lost Shadow distress oxide ink using a blending brush. For the second stencil in the Birthday Balloons Duo Stencil set, I mixed some sparkle glitter with some black texture paste. Using a palette knife, I spread this mixture over the stencil. I removed the stencil to let the paste dry.

 Good morning! I am up on the Studio Katia Blog this morning getting a jump start on my Christmas card stash. With all of the Christmas in July inspiration out this month, I decided to take out one of my favourite Studio Katia Christmas sets: Merry Poinsettia. I tried out the following technique so that I could make four coordinating cards all at once.
