[11.30.2014] Unity Thursday Cyber Monday

We have a super SPECIAL hop for today. In the online world of sales, CYBER MONDAY is the bomb.com and we are doing it Unity style!!! More great new releases and more great discounts!!! If you haven’t been hopping along, all the action starts on the Unity blog and of course you’ll want to shop at unitystampco.com.

We have 10 new releases created JUST for today and I’m using some of my faves. I have a SUPER long post today, I hope you’ll hang in till the end.

Everything Stronger

Flowers, feathers and arrows, oh my. I just love the combination of images in these stamps. Beauty and strength all in one… perfect for encouragement and support. As part of a continuation of my Everything sentiment kit series, the sentiments will interchange with the other kits. Super fun. For this one, I stamped the rose/arrow and colored it with Copics. I stamped a second one, fussy cut the rose and popped it up. At the end, I added some gold Wink of Stella to accent the sentiment and feathers of the stamped images and then some glossy accents to the rose. I like sparkly, shiny things.

lil’ smartie pants

This little smartie pants is just the cutest!!! He’s perfect for little ones or those who love books. I made a little lunchbox tag for that would be perfect to congratulate your little birdie on a great job. He is stamped and colored with Copics as well. The birdie body is popped up from the base as well. I haven’t paper pieced and popped in a while. Gosh, I sure do love fussy cutting.

Holy Cow

by Heather

Heehee, this is some serious pun fun! I come from a long line of farmers and this card brought lots of chuckles from my family for my dad’s birthday. Shhhh, don’t tell anyone but I absolutely forgot to make a card. Well, not forgot precisely. I ran out of time and then scrambled to get something made the day of his birthday party. I needed inspiration fast and I used my amazing DT member’s card for inspiration. I absolutely LOVE the layout of Heather’s Old Traditions card and I’m so thrilled it all turned out perfectly for my cow card. I distressed the image and have a quickie video to share how too.

[11.19.15] Unity Thursday

It is BROWN THURSDAY

It is the BIGGEST celebration of the year… Brown Thursday with Unity Stamp Co. Lots of new stamps, the BEST sale ever. and tons of inspiration from the Unity design team. If you haven’t been hopping along, all the action starts on the Unity blog.

If you order today, you get these cuties as freebies. TOTALLY worth it, they are so darling. They deserved to sparkle and shine, so I created some fun little shaker tags. I’ve been trying out my new FUSE tool. It is taking some practice. I did fairly well with these, but noticed I missed a spot and had to go back and reseal.

The images were colored with colored pencils and then sealed in clear shakers. The goodies include some cardstock hearts and stars, chunky glitter and silver microbeads. All topped off with a little bow.

I also have an Assemble This! video as well, so you can see how I used the Fuse tool to create the tags. I am no expert by any means, but it might help to see my process to improve upon. They sure are fun.

So much to see today! So much to do!!!

[11.10.2015] 25 Days of Christmas Tags

25 Days of Christmas Tags

Tracey is hosting the 25 Days of Christmas Tags again this year and I’m lucky to get to play along. You will definitely want to visit her blog every day all month long. LOTS of pretty tags, sponsors and prizes!!! Today is Paper Smooches’ day and I just adore PS Christmas tags, they are always the cutest.

I started out with a doily as my base, because who wouldn’t want a doily tag? Then, I layered the circle scene on top with the adorable Paper Smooches Reindeer and the perfect sentiment. If you look close, it is snowing in the background. I splattered on some white ink. And really, that grass is more winter mint than summer green… so think frosty hills. Lol.

I had tons of fun making this tag. Everyone loves a handmade tag for their Christmas gift. I need to do more and the 25 days of Christmas Tags event is the PERFECT inspiration. I hope you’ll visit Tracey’s Blog everyday. I know I will be.

[1.8.2015] unity thursday – pitcher us together

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.

I’m sharing a tag I’ve created using the current stamp of the week.

Sooooo cute! I can’t help be a little bias towards this week’s stamp, it is my little design. Nothing better than a pitcher of beer with my hubs. I thought it would make for a cute little stamp. Now, this could be a pitcher of anything really… beer, sangria, lemonade, kool-aid. Your pitcher can be filled with anything.

I used Distress Markers to watercolor this tag and created a little snippet if you are interested in watching my process.

** COMMENT PRIZE **
Don’t forget to leave a comment on each blog today.
We’ll be giving away 2 prizes from comments left on the participating blogs.

Here are all the girls hopping today… just click on the next pretty girl in line.

[11.21.2014] tag you’re it and 25 days of tags

Tag You’re It and 25 days of Tags

We have a special week happening at Tag You’re It!. Design Team member Tracey has been hosting a 25 Days of Christmas Tags on her blog and asked the TYI team to play along. OF COURSE we wanted to play along!!! So, I have two projects this week using the tag inspiration.

Inspiration: Oh that lovely double tag tied with a pretty bow… Maureen’s card is just beautiful. I love the layout of this card and used it as a sketch. I also loved the flower detail and the polka dots on the patterned tag.

I started out with my two tags. I had a scrap piece of white cardstock that I had embossed with swiss dots. Hmmm, seemed like a good time to use it. I layered the pink tag on top and tied them together. I used my Pixscan Cameo mat to cut out the flower, colored it with Copics and popped that up as well. After much thought, I ended up stamping my sentiment on that center strip of paper and finished off with some sequins.

And now for my Christmas tags… cuz this inspiration is just perfect for the Christmas season too.

I decided for these tags to go for some cuteness. I’m still in love with the double tag idea from Maureen’s inspiration. I mimicked the patterned paper behind and tied together with some string. The little reindeer are colored with Copics and accented with a Wink of Stella glitter pen and some Glossy Accents.

If you haven’t been by Tracey’s blog yet, make sure you head over. She has a ton of prizes to giveaway. She is also giving away a prize to those who comment on her guests blogs as well. So don’t forget to leave a comment. I’ll be picking a name to put her into her prize drawing.

and then… you can also join us at Tag You’re It! Visit the Challenge blog to see all the inspiration projects and how to play along. It is all about fun and tags!!!
