Growing In Unity Day 5

 Welcome back to the last day of my Growing In Unity week. I have enjoyed this week and all your kind comments.

For my last card, I chose the set What Will Be Will Be. I decided to color the stamped image in with the same colored pencils- Color In. I decided to turn this card horizontally instead of vertical since the image is bigger and the sentiment fits better this way. The sticker is from a sticker swap with a Scrapbook group on Facebook. The bling and the pink paper is from The Stamps of Life.

As I said before, I have enjoyed this week. Stay tuned on here and Growing In Unity Facebook group to see if you're a winner. I don't use my blog that much anymore and post more of my cards on Instagram when I participate in hops there. Feel free to follow me- @salnclts. Have a great weekend!

Growing In Unity Day 4

Welcome back to my Growing In Unity week! I decided to make the last 2 cards as simple as can be and let the stamps be the main focus. For this card I used Rebuild Your Life. I colored in the flower with several different Color In colored pencils. I color better with colored pencils sometimes. The bling is from The Stamps of Life and so is the orange paper. I love the sentiments with this set. Be sure to comeback tomorrow to see what I have to share. Have a great day!

Growing In Unity Day 3

 

Welcome back for Day 3 of my Growing In Unity week! I decided to make 2 cards today from Joy & Brighter Days by Tierra Jackson. I used the same white cardstock from my stash on both and Stampin'Up Regency Park  Designer Series Paper. I added lace from Lace Place on the wagon card just to separate the 2 pieces of paper. I added twine from Stampin'Up to both just to change them up a little. I colored in the images with Spectrum Noir markers. Please come back tomorrow to see what I have to share. Have a great day!

Growing in Unity Day 2

 Welcome back to my GIU week! Thank you so much for all the kind comments yesterday. I have another card to share with you today. My cousin, Caroline, is getting married on Saturday to her high school sweetheart, Zach, so I had to make a wedding card.

As you can see, I chose From This Day Forward by Angie Blom. I used the same type card base from my stash as yesterday and Stampin' Up Regency Park Designer Series Paper 6x6 paper pack. I used Spectrum Noir TriBlend markers and Copic Black. I fussy cut the sentiments and added DSP under each and attached them down with my Xyron 150 Create A Sticker maker. I believe the clear bling is from The Stamps of Life again.

I sent Caroline a gift through her Amazon registry and she has already received it and sent me a Thank You card for it. I love how fast Amazon is! Caroline has been in so many friends' weddings that she had to put hers off a little to get through them first. I can't wait to celebrate with Caroline and Zach on Saturday! She's going to be Caroline Ray. I'm sure some of you remember Caroline Rhea from Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. My cousin, Caroline, is nothing like her. Even though, Caroline Rhea's birthday is April 13. How ironic! I look forward to sharing more cards with you the rest of the week! Did anyone get to see the eclipse yesterday? I was at work in the break room and turned the TV on to ABC and caught it as it happened in Ohio, Illinois, and Arkansas. 300 people were actually married in Arkansas during the eclipse. That's amazing! I'm also doing an Instagram hop today for National Unicorn Day. I would love to have you hop along, no prize involved. It's about 8 of us if you have Instagram look for @salnclts and I will have the line-up on my Instagram. Thanks again for all the comments yesterday! Have a great Tuesday!

Growing In Unity Day 1

 Welcome to my week of Growing In Unity! I look forward to sharing at least 5 different cards this week! Please leave a comment on each day for your chance to win a $20 credit from Unity Stamp Company. I will choose 2 winners at the end of the week. Now, on with my card. I chose the stamp set Vintage Friend Uniquely Unity February 2022 by AngMag for today's card. The card base is from my stash, the Designer Series Paper is from Regency Park from Stampin'Up DSP 6x6 paper pack, I colored in the camera stamped image with Spectrum Noir markers, and the 3 enamel dots in the top right corner are from The Stamps of Life. I fussy cut around the sentiments and added them down to my card so that the leaves look like they're pointing to them as accents.

I look forward to sharing more with you tomorrow and the rest of the week. Have a great day! 

A Day At the Beach

I made this card for a swap yesterday and am just getting around to blogging about it. I'm entering this card in The Sisterhood of Crafters Beach Challenge. I used Unity Stamp Company to the beach background border stamp and Beach Girl sentiment on the front and colored in with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. The inside extra stamped images are from Cowtown Creates Seaside Bay. I stamped the background border with My Favorite Things Extreme Black hybrid ink and the sentiment with Versa fine Black Ones ink. The oysters I stamped with Archival black ink and also included 3 sentiments from Seaside Bay, but didn't take pictures. I made this card for an O is for swap for a group on Facebook and the lady who will receive this card doesn't follow my blog. The paper and the enamel dots are from The Stamps of Life. The twine is Watermelon Sorbet from Trendy Twine, but is no longer available. I hope my swap partner enjoys this card as much as I enjoyed making it!
