Here's how I was inspired!!
I chose to use this fun digital stamp called 

Snowman Soup.

I've added the link below

 

Sweet n Sassy Digital Stamps link 

 

After sizing and printing my image on white cardstock, 

  I colored him with Copic BG-10-11-13 

I also printed the sentiment and enlarged it.

 I used Stampin Up, Pool Party cardstock for this card

It's such a pretty subtle color.
I added the snowflakes from Jolee's 

I hope you like my card. I cannot wait to make more using this guy!!

 Can you see it in soft pink? I can!! 

Up next is this fun Pocket Card I CASED from my friend 

Crystal Minkler,

 here is a link to her blog for all the details

I also made this pretty Christmas card using SnS digital stamp set called 

Holiday Cuppa  

 

For this card, I used a white card base, and a sheet of pattern paper, and die cut it.

Then after sizing and printing the image I colored it with red and green Copics.

Then I fussy cut the entire image out.
I added it, and the sentiment to the card front. 

To finish it off, I added a few enamel dots and that's it!

 I will be using this digi A LOT this year for Christmas 2021 cards!

 

 

 

Well, that's it for me!!
I hope you are enjoying the hop!

Cheers to you on this wonderful Anniversary... many more. I love how you colored this glass. The pen sparkle looks very realistic. Oooo and bubbles make a party! The bow and sentiment add that perfect pop. Love this card. This was fun again... Merry Christmas!!

 Friends, please know that our hops are not sponsored. (Although, we know Unity Stamp Co. lovingly approves) Because your support is so valuable and so appreciated, prizes are given from the creators own private stash of Unity stamps.

For this month the cue is 

Black & White

I love B&W with a pop of color somewhere, but this one was all B&W...a challenge for me!

I feel like I cheated in some way, because this was too easy...

I chose to heat emboss.
I used Brutus Monroe ink and embossing powder.
I really love their powder, and ink

I started with Angie's Tree~ below is a link

Angie's Tree

 

I stamped in Versafine clear ink, then heat embossed it with black powder

I stamped the sentiment on vellum, and also heat embossed it (be sure to let this dry before you trim)

See those sweet hearts hanging from the tree?
I wanted to color them...so bad...I'm glad I left them alone!!

I had the Thank You die cut in my stash, as well as a line of crows, so I cut one out and added him

 (no idea why I did this)

 

For my second card I had to make something "coffee" because, well, it's my thing

 (along with vintage campers)

My absolute favorite stamp from Unity is 

Dream of Being

It's always the perfect stamp for me.

Dream of Being

  

Oh this card!!
I had it all assembled, right? 

I went to glue it all down, and on a whim, I put the sentiment (with glue on it) at the top

OMGeeee what did I do?? Too late now, I was stuck or it was, rather.

So here I am wanting to remove it, but it won't come off, so I embraced it.
Added a bow to the bottom, and called it finished.
It turned out ok.
I hope you have enjoyed the hop this month
