I'll start with the new Magical Winter Stamps and Magical Winter Dies since you may have seen a glimpse of this card in the banner.
I just love all the cute wintery images in this set and some super fun unicorns. I decided to showcase how this set can be used for so much more than just wintery cards! So, I started by stamping a unicorn from Magical Winter Stamps and cutting it with the Magical Winter Dies before coloring. I wanted to keep it soft and magical! I used a Wink of Stella gold pen for the horn. I set my unicorn to the side and started building my background. I started by stamping my sentiment on a piece of white paper and layering that on some black to create a border. Then I used this to determine where to ink the card base. Then I created a patterned paper for the bottom portion using the dots from the Peace, Love & Joy Stamps. I attached this paper to the bottom of my inked card base and then cut out some vellum clouds using the Border Builders Die Set. I layered the clouds with some foam tape and attached them to my sentiment border and then finally to my card base. Finally, I attached my unicorn with a little more foam tape. I added some white accents to my unicorn with a gel pen. Here's a closer look:
My next card shows off the coolest stamp set EVER!! This set is everything the name describes, Unstoppable Stamps.
This collection of dots and dashes will have you creating backgrounds for days. I had a hard time stopping myself. I embossed them, stamped them, rainbow colored them. It was too much fun. Finally, I had to get down to making a card so, I started working with the fun stripes in the Unstoppable Stamp set. I stamped, flipped, offset, and stamped some more and I just LOVE the pattern it created. With an awesome patterned cardbase ready, all I had to do was decide on a cool sentiment and image to finish it off. The sentiment was easy because the Unstoppable Stamps set also has some AWESOME sentiments. Then I realized that the sketchy look of the Sketched Floral Stamps was exactly what this card needed. So, I started creating a border by selectively cutting a portion of the flower out with the Sketched Floral Die Set and cutting the rest into a border shape to stamp my sentiment. I layered this on a black strip and then added it to my card. A few sequins and the card was done. Here's a closer peek:
