Hello again friends!!
Last week I entered two challenges at Unity Stamps.
The Color Challenge April 14 – 21
Using teal and green combination, I made this card for baby. Earlier in the day I made a card for my sister who was going to a baby shower but I didn’t take a picture of it. So I made this one using a Sizzix die I found on sale at Hobby Lobby, by Stephanie Barnard, Triple Circle Flip-its. I couldn’t find teal cardtock so I took white cardstock and my acrylic paints and made some! Easy peasy!
When you open it, it reveals another sentiment.
These cards are hard to photograph, but I did the best I could. I used the Hello Little One kit. I first stamped the animals on gray cardstock using black ink, I cut them out and added the small hearts in red. I added the black, gray, and white cord for added texture.
The second card is very similar, but instead of using the die, I just made an old fashion 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card using coordinating papers from a 6×6 stack.
I just happened to have some googly eyes in my stash small enough for these elephants. Aren’t they cute!! I also added three hearts in three different sizes.
Here’s a close up of the elephants.
Anything Goes Challenge – April 21 – 28
This time, I didn’t have to spend time making a card, because I created a card for my cousin’s daughter when she got married in Phoenix two weeks ago.
I used the Cherished Moments kit by Angie Blom. You can see more on this card in one of my previous post here:
Lastly, Angela Magnuson, the owner of Unity Stamps made a video on the Face Book Unity Stamps Show and Tell group and challenged us to “RE-CREATE a card like Angela made (using any UNITY stamp) and post it in the comments below for your chance to win a grab bag of {100 stamps/sentiments!!!}”
Wow! I want to win 100 stamps!!
So this quick card was created in less than five minutes!
I used a feather from the Beautiful is Never Perfect kit by Angie Blom. I so love the detail!!
Angela stamped her feathers one on top of the other one, but I just randomly stamped mine so the details could be seen. I used three different colors of distressed inks, and “wallah!”
I also used one of the sentiments that comes with it inside double stamping it for a shadow effect.
So much fun playing in my craft room!
I just finished reorganizing my craft room and I found so many things I don’t use any more. I will be posting what I have for sale here and my FB page. There will be stamps, stamps, and more stamps, as well as a “never used – new” Making Memories Slice machine with design cards and accessories, Cricut cartridges, embossing folders, a gypsy, two Jukeboxes that hold six Cricut cartridges each for designing or combaning your own images, and lots more!
Until next time, you have yourselves a great week and keep on creating!!
