[5.14.15] unity thursday

Time for some more THURSDAY fun with the Unity design team. If you haven’t been hopping along, all the action starts on the Unity blog. There’s always fun stuff going on.

And since it is the SECOND Thursday of the month, that means we have a new Unity {Be Inspired} Challenge.

And of course a new Sentiment Kit to kick off the new challenge. This one is full of one of a kind type sentiments. I’m using my fave today.

Hee hee, this one really makes me giggle. I found the PERFECT image to pair it with from the March KOM. Do you ever have a great boob day? Some days, they just sit all perfect and look darn awesome. My girlfriends and I joke about it a lot. Not to mention that they still look awesome for our age. Ha ha. So this card is for one of my girls for their birthday.

[11.6.2014] unity thursday time

Unity Thursday

Time for some more THURSDAY fun with the Unity design team. If you haven’t been hopping along, all the action starts on the Unity blog. There’s always fun stuff going on. We have so fabulous new releases this week.

I’m using the brand new kit of the month today…

what lies within us

Lots of pretty images this month. I decided those flowers needed to be water colored first. I stamped them off the edge of the card and then added the sentiment. Came in with some simple water coloring and finished off with a bit of a splash of green color over it all.

[8.26.2014] thanks

Thanks

I’m blogging on the Unity blog today, so of course, I’m sharing here as well. I never get tired of creating with Unity stamps. There is always something new a fresh being released.

For today, I’m sharing a card using the current kit of the month: Summer Collapsed into Fall. I love that we are moving into my favorite season and stamps to match.

I did some inlaid die cutting with the ‘thanks’ and the tag. This is an easy technique that people love. They always want to know how it was done. I stamped some falling leaves on the background paper and heat embossed the quote on the tag.

It is going to be a double feature Unity week, I’ll be back on Thursday for this week’s blog hop.

[6.16.2014] in love with love today

In Love with Love Today

I’m sharing this card on the Unity blog today.

I’m featuring that big doodled cluster of flowers (that just might have been designed by little ol’ me). I thought about coloring it in, but then decided that I loved the black and white look. It just needed a little pop of color somewhere. Thus, we have the pink polka dot paper in the background. I also wanted to add a sentiment but didn’t want to cover up that beautiful design. I opted for a vellum banner with the sentiment embossed in black. I hid the glue behind the popped up area of the banner. Worked like a charm.

[6.15.2014] wanna sketch no. 17

Wanna Sketch no. 17

Happy Father’s Day! Hope you’ll be celebrating with your family and with your father today. We are lucky to be spending the day with my dad and will be honoring my husband’s in our hearts.

I hope you have tons of fun with the newest Wanna Sketch. Lots of possibilities with this one, so let’s get creative.

I decided to go with a landscape card with this sketch. You are more than welcome to adjust the sketch to your ideas. It is just a starting point, flip it, turn it, widen it, it is all good. Just so long as we can still see the basic sketch in your design. It is all about having a jumping off point to forge ahead in our creative process.

I had this idea of the feathers floating on the wind and just went with it. The cloud panel is popped up from the card and the velum is wrapped around and secured from behind to hide the adhesive. I stamped on the velum before adding to the card. Those fun little feathers were cut with my Silhouette Cameo and the little bow was glued on at the end.

Are you ready to take this sketch on??? The linky will stay open until Friday, July 18, 2014 {11:55pm PT}.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
