Hoot Card

It's Friday. That means Friends With Flair

over at Unity Stamp Company!

 

I used A Hoot Of A Day &  Retro Bubble Border stamps

on this fun colorful birthday card!

 

 

It took some time to piece together the owl.

But that ensures crisp colors,

when markers could end up streaky.

I think the glittery hat is very festive!

The white dot border was stamped &

then randomly colored with Copic markers.

I've done this with other border stamps as well

and it always turns out cool.

 

 

 

Bunny Tag

Hi there everyone.

Today I'm sharing with you a bunny tag

made with Tim Holtz products!

 

His little blueprint bunny stamp,

music pattern stamp, script stamp & distressing inks

made this Easter tag so festive.

 

 

It looks pretty cute clipped on my old bike tire.

I love to decorate with tags!

There is a vintage Easter postcard next to it.

 

 

Leave me comments if YOU use tags for things

other than labeling gifts!

I'd love to hear some of your ideas.

Wood Stamp

I recently got a massive Tim Holtz background wood grain stamp.

It has quickly become my favorite. 

 

 

It looks so pretty stamped on this Prima pastel blended color paper.

The encouraging verse is from Unity's Faith set.

 

 

This card uses rose distress ink for a subtle pink pattern.

The curious bunny was cut on my Cricut using the Child's Year cartridge.

I use the Martha Stewart butterfly punch often.

 

 

This wood was stamped in Milled Lavender.

I finally inked this cute Unity bunny.

The flower was a little tricky, with a fine stem.

I drew the stem and cut the flower out separate.

Copic markers gave his ears and flower just a hint of color.

 

 

If you don't have a wood grain stamp, I'd highly recommend it!

Other options include, wood patterned paper or an embossing folder.

 

 



MOJO 283

It's challenge time over at MOJO MONDAY.

The current layout is #283.

 

 

 

I used my Unity brand Bible verse stamp.

It's from the set called Faith.

 

 

 The brown, pink & blue was a fun color scheme.

This was a helpful sketch, since lately I've been

having some creative road blocks!

Egg Cards

Hi folks.

Sharing a Tim Holtz brand creation here today.

It features one of his blueprint stamps.

 

 

The egg seems to glow!

I colored it with a Copic

and used a mask to distressed around it.

THEN I made a mask that allowed me to ONLY

rub the egg area with embossing ink.

Using blue pearl clear embossing powder,

I highlighted the egg!

 

 

A few shiny flowers blended in well with the iridescent egg.

So, somehow super shine & dingy can coexist!

 



Chandelier Card

I love this chandelier stamp,

but haven't played with it much.

So I tried to pull off a posh lady card.

 

 

You can see a hint of Holtz tissue tape in the background.

The paper is Webster's Pages.

The sentiment is Unity.

 

 

 

 



True Happiness

I made this layout of my mom & step dad.

I liked it, a change from my usual boy pages!
Mom can add it to the wedding album I made her,
since she had a few empty pages left in that.

 

 

The paper is Mariposa by DCWV.

That lovely frame made for a VERY easy layout.

It's glittery too.

 

 

The stamps are Unity You+Me=Bliss (true happiness)

 and Beauty (roses).

 

I really cut loose & opened my package of Prima

flowers that always seem too special to use!

(anyone else ever have that problem?)

 

The pretty ribbon is seam binding:

the best ribbon on earth.

 

The edge punch is EK Success.

The leaf punch is Marth Stewart.
