Unity Challenge

Well, today our 14 year anniversary!

We're headed way "up north" to the Superior National Forest

for some canoe camping & fishing for three days.

But here is a quick card post...

 

The Unity challenge has

both color & layout sketches:

 

 

The card sketch is simple,

but turned out so sharp.

 

 

The stamp sentiment is from Friends + Flowers= Priceless.



FWF~ Graduation

I'm happy to be joining in Unity's Friends With Flair

linky party this pleasant Friday morning.

The card set I made here features one of the Itty Bitty

stamps on sale right now for only $2.

It's called Thanks A Bunch.

 

 

It's nearly graduation time,

so I thought these cards would work great!

The sentiment is from the KOTM (4/12).

 

Do you love that rainbow ink pad affect?

My mom-in-law got it at a garage sale!

 

 

 

 



MOJO 292

Hi folks.

It's time again for the Mojo Monday blog contest.

Here is the sketch this week:

 

I did some background stamping,

instead of using paper.

They stamps are all Unity:

Stars of Worn

Beautiful Disaster

Learn Discover Grow

 

 

I also added some washi tape & gems.

This will be a funky graduation card.

What do you think of it?

 



Clock Card

Sometimes it's a stretch to use Tim Holtz

Blueprint stamps, because they're so industrial.

However, this graduation card seemed to make

pretty good sense.  I get so sick of the same old

"congratulations" stamps for grad cards.

You know what I mean?

 

So here is my unique card,

inspired by the challenge at Frilly & Funkie

(There Is No Time To Waste)!

 

 

 

I stamped the "table" in Tim's wood grain background

stamp in Close To My Heart Chocolate.

  Then I masked the top of the card off & rubbed on

burlap distressing ink with a foam applicator.

Stickles on the clock & some black ribbon gave it

a little pizazz.  The clock was done using

a rainbow ink pad from a garage sale!

The sentiment is from Unity Stamp Company's

Kit Of The Month 4/12.

 

Stop by the Funkie Junkie Boutique online

if you love the clock blueprint stamp!

 



Friends With Flair & Stickles

It's Friday, that means Unity's Friends With Flair!

I've missed a few weeks, but am back in action.

 

This card used the Vintage Doily Shop rose stamp.

 

 

I colored it with Copics and added Stickles.

The pattern paper was a freebie with my last

stamp order from Unity.

The background is also stamped using Bit O Burlap.

 

 

 

 

I thought this would make a great Mother's Day card.

That rose stamp was perfect!

Unity Monthly Challenge

I made an interesting sunburst card

for Unity's monthly challenge.

It was a little tricky,

I had to keep adding rays

until I got the look I wanted.

This was a great way to use

 up more paper scraps!

 

Here is the color scheme:

 

 

The stamp I used is from the 4/12

Kit of the Month called Follow Your Own.

 

 

It's time to start making those graduation cards!

I really love this saying

and the sunburst helps express it!

 

Thanks Unity...for another fun challenge.

 

 

 

 

 

Mom Cards

I have a handful of Mother's Day cards to show you.

I only have one mom, but make plenty to sell.

They all feature the Prima Hello Pastel paper.

 

 

 

The flowers on the card above were made on my

new Sizzix Big Shot using the Tim Holtz Tattered

Floral die cut.

 

Most of these stamps were in a mom theme kit

that I got at a garage sale!  It was a steal.

 

The leaf & bike stamps below are Unity brand.
