Tag It 2!

WOW!...2 cards in 1 day.  I have so many newer Unity stamps that I haven't had a chance to play with.  This is one of Angie's girls - the trio, Vicki, Catherine, and Leica.  If you've seen the kit then you know that I only used the framed portion of the stamp and paired it with a sentiment from the April KOTM.  The image and sentiment are colored with Prismacolor pencils and markers.  For me, it's a matter of the color I want and what's closest at-hand.  All of the paper is My Mind's Eye.  I added a bit of baker's twine and some sequins.  Enjoy!

Tag It!

I only started doing the Unity Stamp Company Friends with Flair (always? on Friday) a few weeks ago.  When they didn't post last Friday, I was amazed at how disappointed I was.  That's OK, 'cause they're back today and I'm gonna play.  The images and sentiment are from their April KOTM.  This is a subscription, but I'm here to say that you're not going to get a better value (20-26+ amazing stamps) delivered right to your door every month for only $31.  It's such a deal!  This background paper is not quite what I had dreamt about (yes, I had a dream that I had the perfect bamboo paper lurking somewhere in my stash!) but since most of it is covered, I think it's okay.  I stamped and heat-embossed the panda and added a bit of color to his/her flower with some markers.  The sentiment is stamped and again a bit of coloring.  The little washi tape stamp in the lower right is just stamped on red cardstock.  Dies are Spellbinders and there is a bit of doodling.  Enjoy.

CAS Sympathy

I had so much fun playing along with Unity Stamp Co. Friends with Flair last Friday that I had to do it again.  Thanks so much to all of you who wrote such sweet comments on last week's entry.  I used the last sympathy card in my stash this week for one of my husband's co-workers so I decided to try something really clean and simple.  I'm using one of my Unity Itty-Bitty's (Bottled Blossoms) and a heart-felt greeting from this month's sentiment kit.  This was so easy...stamp, emboss, stamp, emboss, trim, and adhere.  Really!, that's it.  I love the look of white on kraft.  BTW...Happy Birthday Unity.

Care Instructions

Here's a little baby card I just completed.  I've never played along with Unity Stamp Company's Friday Friends with Flair so I think I'll join in today.  A very simple card using two Unity Itty-Bitty sets and some scraps I had on my counter.  Enjoy!
