Happy Thursday

Thursday fun is happening with the Unity design team. If you have been hopping you should have arrived from Joslyn‘s blog, if not, all the action starts on the Unity blog.

We start the brand new Unity {be inspired} challenge for this month.
Wanna peek???
Of course you do.

I am focusing on the colors for today’s card as well as the sketch.

 

I broke out my watercolor pencils for this one. Can you believe this is the first time I’ve tried the emboss resist technique? It was fun and I’ll definitely have to do this again. Love the effect.

I’m using the fabulous new monthly sentiment kit call Here’s my Thoughts. LOVE the big, funky sayings. They are perfect center stage.

Going to think this card up to the Birthday Card Challenge at the Moxie Fab World too.

It has been awhile since I’ve done a video, so I dusted off the ol’ camera and thought I would share how I created the watercolor emboss resist tag. Hope you enjoy.

** COMMENT PRIZE **Don’t forget to leave a comment on each blog today.We’ll be giving away 3 prizes from comments left on the participating blogs.

The Paper Made Bakery April 2012 Fresh Baked kit will be replaced with a new one for May.  Here is a recap of all the cards I made this month from the Lawn Fawn product filled kit!  There might a be a few kits left HERE.

I also have an ASSEMBLE THIS! video featuring the twine filled cutout HERE.

Tomorrow, the design team will hop showing off the brand new kit.  There is lots of inspiration to be had and a prize as well.  Hope you will join us.  You better hurry and see if there are any of this month’s kit left or sign up for the Baker’s Dozen subscription.  Talk about a great deal!

{11.4.11} Assemble This! video

Friends with Flair

Hello my fabulous Unity peeps.  So excited to share some of my favorite Unity stamps with you today and an Assebmle This! video tutorial.

This cutout card is really easy to create.  All you need is some cardstock and your favorite die cut machine and dies.  For this one, I am using the Ornate Artisan Tags and Accents die set from Spellbinders and the matching Unity Ornate Artisan Stackers.

They are so pretty!  Even though I have a really clean and simple style, this ornate set is one of my TOP faves.  Just goes to show it doesn’t hurt to try something you are not used too.  You might fall in love too.  I’m also using the Generations set for the great accents.

This tutorial is in two parts.
For part one, I go through the steps need to create the cutout card and the belly band.

For part two, I show step by step how I finished decorating the card.

I hope you enjoy the videos.  I would love for you to subscribe to my YouTube Channel.  If you have any suggestions for future videos I would LOVE to hear them too.

Thanks for stopping by and remember to head back to the Unity blog to visit the rest of the Friends with Flair.
