Growing in Unity Day 5

Well, my week of Growing in Unity has come to an end :( I had such an amazing week and I am so thankful for all the kind words left on my posts.

 

So what better way to finish off the week but with a little celebration!

 

CHEERS!!!

 

I love all the wine stamps from Unity!!! I don't even drink, but I think they make great cards for giving away to others!

 

 

You can't really tell from the photos but I used glossy accents over the glasses to make them look real.

 

For the sentiment I used the Let's Get Tipsy itty bitty. The wine glasses are from a different wine itty bitty called Wine and Friends

and now, since my week is over I have just one more little treat to share with you.

 

There is not a whole lot of stamping going on with this card, but the sentiment is from Unity so I thought I'd share...



 

The sentiment is from the Happily Ever After Kit of the Month that I also used for my Monday cards.

 

The papers, buttons, and chipboard sticker are from October Afternoon, and I just HAD to use my new lace with the zipper detail from Close to My Heart! Isn't it fabulous?!?!? They only sell it in this pink color, but I hope they make it in all the colors cause I would definitely buy them ALL!!!

 

 and now one final reminder about the PRIZES!!!

Growing in Unity Day 4

Holy Cow! This week is going by so fast, but I am having a GREAT time!!!

 

Thanks again for all the kind comments on my posts, they are so sweet and so greatly appreciated :)

 

Today I have a card that is a little different to share with you....lots and lots of embossing! both heat and dry.

 

 

I heat embossed the clouds with white embossing powder onto blue patterned paper.  The base of the card is dry embossed with little triangles. Check out the close up photo for more details.

 

The clouds and the sentiment are from the same Kit of the Month as the purse card from yesterday. It is called Take Time to Laugh. To finish off the card I just kept it simple and added some orange twine and buttons. Sweet and simple ;)

 

 and now...

 

PRIZE TIME!! 2 CHANCES TO WIN!!!

Growing in Unity Day 3

Wow, Wednesday already?!? My Growing in Unity week is half way over :(

 

It has been so great reading all of the kind comments you have left for me. Please know that I read each and every one of them and I really appreciate your sweet words.

 

Today I have a fresh, fun and funky card that you could give your best friend. It would be great for a birthday card, hello, or just because.

 

 

The purses and the sentiment are both from an old Unity KOM from 2010 called Take Time to Laugh. I belonged to the KOM club for about a year and I absolutely LOVED it! I only stopped for financial reasons, but I would start up again in a heartbeat if I could. If you don't know about the Kit of the Month club you should check it out!!!

 

This is made with a color combo that is not typical for me, in fact I don't think I've ever used it before, but I think I really like how it came together.

 

anyways...

Growing in Unity Day 2

Hello Friends!

 

I'm back with Day 2 of my Growing in Unity week and I am so HAPPY to be here!!

 

I've got a masculine card to share with you today that I am also tying in with my Fancy Pants Designs DT assignment (hence the tags on the photos).

 

 

I mixed papers from the Swagger collection by Fancy Pants Designs with my Unity Stamps to pull this all together. The Swagger collection has moustaches in it which inspired me to use my moustache stamp on this card.

 

Here are the Unity Stamps I used:
Happy Birthday from Party All Day
Hey Stud from Hey Stud itty bitty
Moustaches from Favorite Mustache itty bitty

 

PRIZE TIME!! 2 CHANCES TO WIN!!!

Growing in Unity Day 1

Happy Monday Friends!

 

To say that I am excited to be a Growing in Unity gal is week would be an absolute understatement!!! For those of you who are regulars to my blog you know I am a HUGE Unity fan so getting to play with my large collection of Unity Stamps this week is going to be awesome :)

 

I'm starting off the week with a two-for. I couldn't decide if I wanted to make a Baby Boy card or a Baby Girl card with this adorable Ark stamp so I ended up making both.

 

 

I have had this Itty Bitty set called Two by Two for quite a while but I hadn't got around to using it yet so it felt good to get it inked up.

 

 

 The sentiment that comes with the Ark image didn't really suit my card so I used a different one from the July 2010 Kit of the Month 'Happily Ever After'   

 

 

PRIZE TIME!! 2 CHANCES TO WIN!!!
