Friends of Unity~ April Showers

Hey there!!

Welcome back to Friends of Unity, a monthly Blog Hop featuring Unity Stamp Company stamps and our love of them! 

I hope you came here to me from Dawn Fields blog

I am last on the list this month!! 

If you'd like to start at the beginning, the click here to go to Amber's blog!!

This month we decided to use the theme

"April Showers"

Here is what I made using Harmony Girl,

by Angie Blom

I have been collecting Angie's Girls for over 10 years.

Truth be told, I don't remember which Angie I bought first, but I do know I was hooked!! LOL
ok, onto this card

 But first, I wanted to say...

I LOVE this sentiment

For the card, I used Island Indigo cs as my base.

Then I went through my K&Co cs, and found this beautiful pattern paper. 

I stamped Harmony Girl on plain white cs,

then used Creamy Caramel craft ink from SU! around the edges.

Then mounted her to a scrap piece of

Creamy Caramel cs. 

Colored her with Copics 

I added some "dew drops" for a rain look 

That is pretty much it. The cardstock (cs) is so busy, that I didn't feel the card needed many embellishments.. 

Well, I hope you enjoyed the Hop this month! 

Please leave us a comment along the way to let us know if you enjoy our cards! 

Someone is having a giveaway this month, so be sure to comment if you want a chance to win!! 

On a side note~ I like to thank Crystal Minkler for creating us all, this amazing watermark! She worked very hard on them, and we all appreciate her so much!! MUAHH

• 
• Hey there, welcome back to my blog  ;) 
• I am thrilled to be a part of this collaboration with
• Coffee Loving Cardmakers & a2z scrapbooking!! 

I am IN LOVE with this amazing digital set called, Hug in a Mug

I used the stacked cups and sentiment Let's catch up over coffee! 

Papertrey Ink cardstock, and printed paper.

Scalloped edge die is also from PTI...

Some sheer ribbon, and a few Prima tiny flowers were the perfect embellishments to compliment this pretty card! 

For this one, I used a stencil sent to me by my sweet

friend Crystal Minkler.

It is from Tim  Holtz. Coffee rings and splotches were my base.

Then I colored the ice coffee cups, and added the ice cubes here and there.

Pretty Pink Posh sequins, and some twine from PTI..

Well that's it for me!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers

Hey there, and welcome back :)

When I saw this digital set posted in the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Facebook group,

by Julee Tillman I knew I had to have it! I actually bought both St. Patrick's Day sets that they have! I just love this set!! 

 I used Wild Wasabi from SU! black and white for the layers.

Cuttlebug embossing folder, and a cute Shamrock sticker pack that also included the green bling. Sometimes a pack of stickers is all you need ;) 

I hope you like my quick, and easy card! 

if you'd like to buy this digital set called Irish Coffee, and take a look at the others you won't be disappointed! I LOVE all their sets!! http://coffeelovingcardmakers.com/

March 2018~ New Beginnings

Hey there, and welcome back to my blog for

March 2018 Friends of Unity Blog Hop!! I am so glad you stopped by again!!

This months theme is "New Beginnings

I just happen to have this stamp from

Unity called New Day Rooster

I love this image, and the sentiment!! 

I started by using PTI black cs.  I've had this red chicken wire/scratch paper forever. 

I stamped, and embossed the rooster image, and the sentiment..

Popped it over a die cut of chicken wire

cut from silver cs.

I added some fern cuts. and the cutest wooden embellishments gifted to me

by my BFF, Stampin Funn~ Java Joanne Rivera!!

Hey there, and Happy Valentine's Day!!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! 

I cannot tell you how much I love being a part of

Coffee Loving Cardmakers and Coffee Loving Papercrafters on Facebook! I am especially excited because today is my day on the blog, and Valentine's Day as well!!

As you all know by now, I am a huge fan of Unity Stamp Company. I love their deep etched red rubber cling stamps! No other company compares to them in my humble opinion ;)

For this card, I started with Real Red cardstock from SU!

I then used a HUGE heart shaped doily

I stamped this image  Love To Go on white cardstock, then colored the hearts with my Copics.. I did a little shading on the cup with C-1,.. you can juuust see it..

The sentiment is from Hampton Art (PS.0311)

How about this tiny "Love letter" ?? 

I've had this envelope punch for as long as I have been papercrafting! 

I use a cluster of Prima flowers, and added the little self stick bling to the centers, and finally, I used the wide satin ribbon with pretty red hearts to tie the card together. The ribbon is a "belly band" and slides off to open the card!

How do you like those Lips?? LOL.. it's a brad I had, and I cut the prongs off, then hot glued it to the knot...

Well, that's my February card for Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog

Let me know what you think of my card in the comment section! I look forward to reading it! 

I hope you have a happy Valentine's Day

This beautiful coffee cup is one of Graciellie Designs called Coffee & Love

It has one coffee cup image and 5 sentiments!

I really loved coloring this!

Purple Pretty Pink Posh sequins was my color inspiration for this card.

It just jumped out for me  :) 

I added crystal effects to the flower, then some clear glass beads to the center of the flower

I love this sentiment don't you?!!

I started off with white cardstock from Papertrey Ink, my favorite cardstock!

I used an embossing folder from Crafters Companion that has lots of hearts on it! 

Then, I cut a sheet of SU! Wisteria Wonder with my Kat Scrappiness Fancy scalloped rectangle dies.

I used the same die set for the sentiment, too! 

I added the cup over a small doily and pop it up.

The leaf branch is from a sizzix die set.

I love using any type of ribbon on my cards!

For this one, I had a thin sheer lilac ribbon and found a button to match!  

Lastly, I finished it up by adding my color inspiration - Pretty Pink Posh sequins here and there.

February 2108 Friends of Unity Blog Hop

Welcome back to the Friends of Unity Blog Hop!!

I am so happy you are here!! 

For this months card I used my very favorite color combo, kraft and red :) 

My favorite cardstock is from Papertrey Ink! 

I used Unity Stamp Company's

Love to Go 

This is an awesome stamp for any occasion. Love of coffee, Valentine's Day, a gift card holder to a loved one.. the possibilities are many.

I started out by stamping the image with red ink onto kraft cardstock, then using Gina Marie's Wonky Stitch dies I cut it out. I used  kraft ink to distress the edges of all the paper I used.

I decided to add a little love letter using my EK Success envelope punch and more coordinating designer paper from PTI~ it turned out so cute, and the sentiment that comes with the stamp set fit perfectly onto my little die cut "piece of paper"  ;) 

I used the same paper for the banner strips too.

The twine is from... you guessed it PTI~ LOL  I love their stuff

The swirly heart is from Sizzix # 660222

This sweet bow tie paper clip is from Simon Says Stamp, and lastly I used the Sweetheart Mix sequins from Pretty Pink Posh....

I sure hope you are Hopping along with use! We may be a small group, but we seriously LOVE Unity Stamp Company so much!
