[2.25.16] Unity is Hoppin’

Unity Thursday 

The Unity design team is hopping today.  If you haven’t been hopping along, all the action starts on the Unity blog.  There’s always fun stuff going on.  I have lots to share today.  I’ve been busy playing with the new releases from this month.

First, I have a few cards using the cute new sentiment kit for February.

So Glad You Were Born

I pulled out one of my favorite paper pads to make these three cards.  I love the mint, pink and yellow combo.  So yummy.  I’ve colored those sweet little cakes with Copic markers and then paired them with some fun die cuts.  For the last one, I created a shaker card using my Fuse Tool.  A party all in one little card.

And then of course I had to play with these adorable pandas too.

Panda Bundle Pack

Super quick and easy.  Just layered some patterned papers, cut out the little pandas using the Pixscan mat for my Cameo and popped the little cuties up.  One for a girl and one for a boy.

[1.30.2014] unity thursday hopping fun

Yay for Thursday

Happy Friday EVE… the Unity Design team is celebrating (like we do every week) with a fun
hop.  If you have been hopping you should be arriving from Joslyn’s blog, if not, all the action starts on the Unity blog.

I don’t think I’ve shown anything from this month’s Kit of the Month yet!  Eeek.  That is just plain awful.  We are going to solve that today!

I seriously LOVE this kit.  It is full of stunning stamps.  I admit it, I grabbed my favorites first.  Here is a look at the kit again, just because it is so beautiful.

Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful

I stamped the circle woodgrain on the card base three times in random directions.  I wanted to put my butterfly at the center where they overlap.  So I stamped three butterflies in different colors, trimmed them out and then stapled them together.  They look so pretty fanned out.  I popped it up on the card with foam adhesive.  Next, I stamped my sentiment and glued it to the front.  Last came the pretty sequins.  They just seemed necessary.  My color palette for this card came from the current {be inspired} challenge.  Have you played along yet?  You should, the prize is amazing.

** COMMENT PRIZE **
Don’t forget to leave a comment on each blog today.

[11.21.2013] unity thursday

Unity Thursday

Hello my friends. It is a JAM PACK Thursday with the Unity today. If you have been hopping along, you should be arriving from Joslyn’s blog, if not, all the action starts on the Unity blog.  Make sure you start at the Unity blog because it is FULL of today’s goings on… SALES, PRIZES, PROJECTS & FUN!!!

I’m excited to have a special release for this weekend.  It is an add on kit to my Everything series, introducing EVERYTHING MORE.

You’ll be able to find it in the NEW RELEASES on the website.

Also, I am excited to share this with you the Lasting Thoughts kit.  This was built by many of the Unity Artistas.  One quote from each of us to create ONE lovely kit.

Isn’t it pretty???  My quote is the “Good things are going to happen.”  It is one of my favorite sayings and it just needed to be a stamp.  Ready to see my card with it?

IMG_1636_dahlhouse

I love stars.  You can ever have enough of them.  The saying was stamped onto my card and then I used a star punch to create the pattern on the blue patterned paper.  To help the stars pop, I glued some newspaper patterned paper to the back and popped it up.

I’m also playing with November’s Kit of the Month.  I just love these kits.  ALL of these STAMPS for just $26!!!  It is an amazing steal.

Strength & Dignity

IMG_1629_dahlhouse

I grabbed one of my favorite images from the kit… the feathers. Feathers are so trendy right now and these have a classic feel to them. They can go vintage or graphic. Still playing around with my papers and I love the mixture of the flower paper with the others. THIS paper pack has become a staple for me. I keep grabbing for it.

You have TWO options to grab this kit…

1. SIGN UP to be a kit member and you will always get your kit first and for $26. PLUS tons of great benefits.

2. Purchase this kit as a ONE TIME purchase when it first releases for only $26, but there are a limited number. So if you like it, grab it fast (like this one, it is already sold out).

** 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 is a peek at this week’s CRAZY AMAZING prize.

That is all from me, let’s go visit Tracey next!!!!

{7.21.2013} wanna sketch no. 7

Wanna Sketch #7

I’m seriously loving all the great entries for Wanna Sketch.  It thrills me to no end to see how one little sketch can give everyone such different ideas.  It is so hard to pick just a few to give a shout out to, I really adore them all.  Here are the highlights from Wanna Sketch #6.

2013wanna-sketch-highlights

created by Judith

Judith was entry #2 and her little bunny just captured my heart.  I love how she used the center panel to feature her birthday bunny and I’m totally ok with her moving her sentiment banner down below.  It absolutely works.

created by Shannon

Ok, I think the cuteness factor on this little cow is off the Richter scale!!!  So super adorable.  Shannon went literal with the sketch and it turned out darling!  The addition of the embossed cardstock over the patterned paper was a great way to balance out the busy polka dot paper.

created by Andrea

I was blown away by Andrea’s card.  Isn’t it beautiful?  I love all the layered stamping and the citrus colors.  I also thought the masked center for the sentiment was a brilliant interpretation of the sketch.  Plus, she made the circles by flipping over her clear stamps and inking up the backside.  Genius!

Thank you to these lovely ladies and to all who linked up.  I hope you’ll play along this month as well.

I kept this one fairly simple and true to the sketch… just stamps, paper, embossing and a little twine.  The large tag makes for a big impact on such a simple card.  Plus, that butterfly is stunning.

Are you ready to take this sketch on???  The linky will stay open until Friday, August 16th {11:55pm}.

{4.8.13} Monday SPARKS with Paper Smooches

Let’s get our SPARK on!

Check out the new SPARKS challenge from Paper Smooches.

week 2

Too much?

Lol… this is so not clean and simple and it seems so busy to me.  But I do love it.
I tried to get some friends to cut those flowers out for me.
Shocker… I had no takers.  So I trimmed them all out by hand.
Want to know a secret?
There is a die to match, one I do not have but will be ordering now!

Check out the other girls sharing their SPARKS cards this week.
