Growing In Unity Day Two

 

Welcome back to GIU Day 2! The stamp set I chose is Unity Stamp Company Allow Yourself by Angie Blom. I stamped the image with My Favorite Things Extreme Black Ink and colored it in with Spectrum Noir Duo Colour and TriBlend Markers. I used a Spectrum Noir Metallic Silver Ingot marker to accent the butterfly, The sentiment I stamped in with Ranger Archival Black ink. I probably should have stamped the sentiment again before I took the picture, but I may go over it with a Spectrum Noir Art Liner pen before I give it away. The enamel dots are from KCRAFT Mixed Colors. The cardstock/card base is pixie from The Stamps of Life. They have the best quality in cardstock! Don't forget to come back tomorrow! Thank you all for the comments so far. I have enjoyed reading them all. Have a great Tuesday! 

Growing In Unity Day One

 

Welcome to May and Day One of my Growing in Unity week! The stamped image was a freebie from Unity Stamp Company for me so I had to look it up on the website. It's from Trust the Creator by Phyllis Harris. Since I don't have the sentiment that comes with the stamp I found another one from Unity. I used Just a card to brighten your day from ...say it with love Unity Sentiment Kit 2020 by Lisa Arana. I used My Favorite Things Extreme Black ink to stamp the image and Ranger Archival Black ink to stamp the sentiment. The cardstock/card base is guava from The Stamps of Life. I colored in the stamped image with Spectrum Noir DuoColour Markers. The bling is from KSCRAFT Mixed Colors. I look forward to sharing with you all more of my favorite stamps from Unity. Please become a follower if you aren't already and be sure to come back tomorrow. I love new and old followers! Have a great Monday!

Retro Rubber Challenge #205

 

I made this card using the sketch above from Retro Rubber Challenge Blog. I was scrolling through Facebook and saw a post about it! The stamp set is from Craftin' Desert Diva's June 2018 Release. I used one of the stamps and a sentiment. They're no longer in business. I used Blue Belle ink from Close To My Heart on the sentiment and My Favorite Things Extreme Black ink on the ice cream cone. If you place an order with Katy on her CTMH website this weekend,  you will be entered to win $48 CTMH cash. I used Spectrum Noir DuoColor markers to color in the stamped image. The patterned paper is from Close to My Heart Sugar Rush collection and it is no longer sold. The cardstock/card base is from Stampin' Up In Color 8.5 x11 paper pack. The 3 mint chip enamel dots are from The Stamps of Life. The cupcake brad is from a friend on Facebook for  a swap. I stamped the sentiment and ice cream cone on Powdered Sugar paper from The Stamps of Life. I've never used the blue ink from CTMH, but it stamped pretty well. 

Have a great weekend! Please become a follower if you don't follow me already and come back Monday to see what I'm sharing for Unity Stamp Company until Friday of next week. It's hard to believe it will be the first week of May! This year is flying by. You will have a chance to win $20 credit to Unity. I know everyone loves prizes! Take care. :) 

Hello There

 

I made this card this afternoon to send to a penpal in CA. I made it for a challenge as well- #woodblockwednesday.  I used two wooden blocks- the flower and the swirl- from Stampin'Up Delight Life and the sentiment- Hello Friend- is from Stampin'Up Wood Words stamp collection. I used My Favorite Things Extremely Black ink to stamp the flower and the swirl and colored them in with Spectrum Noir TriBlend Purple Blend and Pearl Blend Markers. I stamped the sentiment with Ranger Jet Black ink. The cardbase is from Stampin'Up In Colors cardstock. The floral paper & green paper is one sheet of 6x6 cardstock from The Stamps of Life trimmed to fit the card. I added pink Nuvo Stone Drops in the bottom right corner. I didn't add anything else so the stamps would be the main focus. Have a great day!

Favorites of 2022

 

Lessons

I made this layout using the sketch above from Scrap Our Stash. I used BoBunny 12" Family Recipes Savory paper as the main patterned paper, Colorbok Mixed Media Designer Paper, Recollections My Story Paper Pad, DCWV just My Type Premium Stack, and another pad I lost the cover for as the other papers. The stickers/bling is from Carta Bella Summer Adhesive Brads. The alphabet stickers- Snicker doodles and the title There Are No Regrets In Life Just Lessons are from Reminisce Quote Book Die Cut stickers. The journaling and the buttons strip is on from the paper pad I lost the cover to. I made Snicker doodle Cookies from a box mix for a family gathering and we would have to boil water while I was making them. (Bacteria was found in the lines and somehow the city flushed it out.) Luckily, we were only under Boil Advisory for about 12 hours- overnight. That's why I included a picture of the sinks full of water. I ran to the bathroom to wash my hands off I don't know how many times. It was funny! I had fun doing this layout. Have a Merry Christmas! I may blog again before then. Please leave me comments about this layout. TFL! Have a great weekend! I would have posted the recipe for the cookies, but it was mostly a box mix.

Warm Wishes

I made this to send out for Christmas this year and as an entry in Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop. I used  Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Cocoa's Cups stamp set stamped with  My Favorite Things Extreme Black Hybrid ink and colored in the image with various Spectrum Noir TriBlend and Duo Color markers. I stamped the sentiments with Gina K Designs Amalgam Jet Black ink. The inside sentiment is from Stampin' Up Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set. All the cardstock is from  The Stamps Of Life Hope & Joy Collection. The twine is from Trendy Twine Candy Cane. I used Nuvo Morning Dew Crystal Drops to accent a few snowflakes. Thanks for looking and have a Happy Thanksgiving. The blog hop ends at midnight Pacific time.
