Friends of Unity~ January 2022

  

Hey there friends!!

Welcome to Robyn's Nest!!

Happy New Year!!! 

To start off the new year, we are taking it easy with the cue,

Clean and Simple

OR

CAS 

Here's how I was inspired...

 

Unfortunately, I needed 4 sympathy cards before Christmas...

This first card is very simple

a little jute bow, and button for dimension

(I used the sets pictured)

 

Up next, all I had to do was color the flowers

I used some pretty pattern paper from Papertrey Ink and a matching bow

 

I stamped then heat embossed the sentiment on clear cardstock, also by Papertrey Ink

I hope you are having a great start to your new year!!

Please leave me a comment.... it may be you I choose for my next giveaway!!
I'm the last stop in the hop~ if you missed anyone, here's a link to the beginning

This months cue is Retro/Vintage

For all three cards I used

Peaceful Unity

I heat embossed them all with Brutus Monroe embossing powder

The sentiments are from one of my favorite Unity sets called

I had a lot of fun working with the ephemera from Super Sponsor Not 2 Shabby's new release, and it's all about the peppermint!!

Peppermint- Season that is, and here's the link to get it all

Not2 Shabby
Oh my word!!
I love the sentiments from the stamp set

 

For my card I used the frame die from Impression Obsession

What a fun color combo in the ephemera so I cut the frame from matching Papertrey Ink paper..

I heat embossed the sentiment with Brutus Monroe Alabaster ink and embossing powder..

It went very fast...so fast that my next few cards will be from this amazing pack of cut outs!!

OK, well now that all the technical stuff is out of the way, I can tell you a bit about this sweet card/image/digi from 

Rachelle Anne Miller

I printed off this sweet image then colored it with Copic markers to match the amazing (last sheet) of SU DSP...this paper has been stashed for a very long time...lol~ have to use it a some point, right? 

I'm not usually a fan of this type of  ribbon, since it doesn't make for easy mailing and bulky bows.., but if you know me, then you know I usually have ribbon on my cards, so I will end up hand delivering this one (with cookies)  🍪🍪🍪🍪

I hope you're having fun during this hop!!

Friends of Unity Blog Hop~ October 2021

 

 

Hey there everyone, welcome to Robyn's Nest!!

I am back again this month with my friends and teamies for another inspirational month of Unity stamps!!
Can you believe the September 2021 Kit of the Month??!!!

OMGeeee best kit ever!! IMHO)

 

 

 

Don't you just love this squirrel??
I do, so much!!!
I stamped him out a 4 times
Colored him up with just a few Copics
E-7-8-11-15-13-15-17
Then I colored the other 2 and fussy cut out the tree leaves and branches to add dimension
The back ground lattice die is from Kat Scrappiness in Slimline

 

Up next is that beautiful slice of pumpkin pie, illustrated by our very own Jeanie Marie Hays

 

I saw this water colored~ how'd I do??

 

The tiny "blessed" is from the set
Words in Bloom
I cut off the flower...loved it

 

another close up of this cutie patootie

 

I had some extra's stamped off so I made a real quick card here
water colored him~ I think he got too "muddy" 🤷

then added some crystal rain drops from Studio Katia, and more "rain" with Nuvo clear drops

 

I hope you had fun this month and got some inspiration

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Ellen Hutson~ National Coffee Day 2021

 

Hey there, what's brewin'?

Happy National Coffee Day

We have been celebrating National Coffee WEEK since September 22nd, featuring one Super Sponsor per day

Today, the last day, we have Sponsor

Ellen Hutson

Ellen is having TWO giveaways 

This sweet Bear Cozy 

  

How cute is this die set?? So many possibilities!!! 

 

When I cut out my first piece, I saw it could be a frog...
 What do you think??
I have 2 sisters that are "into" frogs...they have them scattered all over their home. that's probably why those bumps turned into eyes for me Ha!

 I gave her eyelashes
She looked more like a frog before I wrapped her around the cup

 

I made everything from paper with the dies provided in the kit (except the mouth)

When I got to the mouth, I wasn't all that happy with it...I liked the boy frogs mouth better

but, I know my sister will love it.

It's so fast, and easy enough to make them, that I am sending her a few extra to give away, too

Below is the other (darker) frog
