Sometimes a small story from across the world reminds us of something deeply human. Recently, a baby monkey named Punch captured hearts around the globe. Punch is a Japanese macaque born in July 2025 at Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan. Shortly after he was born, his mother abandoned him — something that can happen with young or stressed mothers in the wild. Zookeepers stepped in and began hand-raising him, feeding him with a bottle and caring for him while he grew stronger. Becaus

Sometimes creativity asks us to slow down. When I first started playing with the Slow Bloom Society  stamp set from the March 2026 Kit of the Month by Unity , I immediately fell in love with the elegant peony image. Instead of making traditional cards, I decided to take a little creative detour and create two artistic pieces using the same stamped image . It was the perfect reminder that one stamp can inspire endless possibilities. For this project, I explored the symbolism

There is something so timeless about a love story captured from behind — two people stepping forward together into their forever. When I first stamped this sweet bride and groom image, I instantly knew I wanted the focus to be soft, romantic, and full of heart. This card is all about letting one bold design element shine while supporting it with simple layers and thoughtful details. And yes — I filmed the entire process for you!

A sunny, summery card with a splash of watermelon sweetness. If you’ve been craving a card that feels like pure summer happiness, this one is un-frog-gettable . Today’s card features the absolutely adorable Lily Pads & Sunshine  stamp set , paired with bright watermelon patterns and just enough whimsy to make anyone smile. Our little froggy friend is standing tall, balloon in hand, spreading love the only way a frog can— toad-ally  and completely sincerely. Let’s Talk About T

Some days just call for a grumpy little critter and a single rain cloud overhead—and this card captures that mood perfectly. Today I’m sharing how I created this design using the new "Not Dramatic Pissy Kitty" stamp  and a simple but powerful masking trick with post-it tape to give the illusion that only one  rain cloud exists in the entire sky. This card is all about controlled ink blending, intentional masking, and letting the focal image do the storytelling. The Design Ins

My final blog post of 2025 If you’re expecting a calm, reflective, perfectly polished end-of-year blog post… you’re definitely in the wrong place. I’m closing out 2025 the only way that feels appropriate: with sarcasm, side-eye, and brand-new stamps from the Pissy Kitty collection . These two cards— Leg Day  and Cupid —are basically the emotional support animals we all need as the calendar flips to a new year. Let’s be honest: New Year energy is overrated. Pissy Kitty gets it

This month’s October 2025 Whit Kit  from Unity Stamp Co. is all about timeless elegance, but I couldn’t resist giving it a little fang-tastic  twist! With spooky season in full swing, I decided to turn this classy retro gal into a sassy vampire who’s ready to say, “I bite.” 😈🩸 💡 The Idea: I loved the vintage vibe of the image in this month’s kit and thought — what if she was a glamorous vampire from the 1950s? Mixing elegance with a little Halloween mischief was too good t
