Growing in Unity - Day 5


Hello and happy Friday to you all!!   Today is the fifth and final day of my Growing in Unity week with Unity Stamp Company.   I'm sad to see my week coming to a close.  I've had a great time and you have all been so nice with your comments.   Thank you so much for making this an awesome week!

Now on to the grand finale!  Since I started my week with my AngieGirls I thought I'd end it with a couple more today.  Here's a thank you card for you,  made with this beautiful stamp set:

ANGIE-1311A-CATHERINE-GIRL



Catherine knows how to say thank you.....straight from the heart....with a big bouquet of flowers! 

Stamps:   Catherine Girl, AngieGirl Faces (Unity Stamp Company), Minor Stripe background (The Ton).  Ink:  Caviar, Hollywood Star, Bright Emerald (The Ton).   Paper: 110 lb solar white, 80 lb solar white (Neenah), Silver Sparkle Cardstock (My Favorite Things).  Accessories:  Quilted Swirl Stitched Pattern die, Stitched Mats Rectangles dies (Lil' Inker Designs), Heart Stax dies (My Favorite Things), Copic Markers, twine, dimensional tape (3M), gold Gellyroll Pen.


Now, you may notice something different about Catherine.  She has something that none of my other AngieGirls have........eyes, nose, mouth and even eyebrows.  This is a nice little, inexpensive stamp set called AngieGirl Faces.   It comes with two tiny  faces that you can add to your girls.  These faces don't fit all of the AngieGirls though since they are all different sizes.  But they work great on Catherine.

 Angie Girl Faces

VSS-61-ANGIE-GIRL-FACES






And now, for my final card as GIU Girl 2017,  meet........


Harmony Girl
ANGIE-1150A-HARMONY-GIRL2






Harmony trudges through her day with a spring in her step and rocking that raincoat and boots ensemble.  She doesn't let a little rain ruin her day and she's sure not going to wait around for the storm to pass.  It's time to dance! 

Stamps:  Harmony Girl (Unity Stamp Company).   Ink:  Caviar (The Ton), Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone (Ranger Distress).  Paper:  110 lb solar white, 80 lb solar white (Neenah).  Accessories:  Bracket Edge Duo dies (My Favorite Things),  Nuvo Morning Dew Crystal Drops, Copic Markers, gold Gellyroll glitter pen, black marker.


Harmony is a very different kind of Angie Girl.  I think she has a very artsy feel to her, like she belongs in a painting.

Growing in Unity - Day 4

Hello and welcome back!  Today is day four of my Growing in Unity week with Unity Stamp Company.  Today I'm going to throw in a couple of masculine cards using one of my favorite stamp sets:


For The Guys
uk-973a-for-the-guys


When I make my masculine cards the one thing I try to do is keep the color bright and cheerful.  I mean, just because he's a guy doesn't mean he doesn't like fun colors right?  Especially on a birthday card!  So for this card I played off of the 1950's feel of this classic old car.  Black and white tiles scream 50's to me so I stamped a black striped background onto white paper, then cut it into 1/2 inch strips.  Then I glued them to the bottom of the card, staggering them to make this awesome checkerboard pattern.  I stenciled a bright yellow sunburst to draw attention to the real focal point......our classic car!

Stamps:  For The Guys (Unity Stamp Company), Haute Stripes Background (The Ton).  Ink:  Tiara, Aquatini (Catherine Pooler Designs), Bright Emerald, Noir (The Ton), clear emboss (Versamark).  Paper:  Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs), Black (Simon Says Stamp).  Accessories:  Sunburst stencil (Stampers Anonymous), fine white embossing powder (WOW!).


I also made a coordinating tag to go along with this card.  One tip I can give for stamping this car is to try the rock and roll method.  I used two different shades of teal to stamp this car.  First I stamped the whole image with the lighter shade: Bright Emerald ink.  Then I inked up the stamp with a darker shade just around the edges of the car being sure to leave the center lighter.  I'm not sure these photos show it clearly but the hood, interior and underneath the car, as well as the back end are a slight shade darker, stamping with Aquatini.





For my second card, it's time to take to the friendly skies.  This little airplane is a favorite masculine stamp of mine because my husband's #1 hobby is flying.  I love to stencil on clouds and make different scenes to showcase this little plane. 

Stamps:  For The Guys (Unity Stamp Company), Woodland Beauty (Penny Black).  Ink:  Tumbled Glass (Ranger Distress), Forever Green, Field Greens (Hero Arts Shadow Ink), Onyx Black (Versafine), clear emboss (Versamark).  Paper:  Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs), black (Simon Says Stamp).  Accessories:  Border Builders, Silly Stitched, Stitched Mats Rectangles (Lil' Inker Designs), Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush Markers (Zig), fun foam, dimensional tape (3M).


To give this plane the illusion of flying, I always like to bump it up in some way with dimensional tape.  Here I floated it off the edge of the raised center piece and added dimensional tape just under the tail section.



I hope to see you tomorrow for day five and our final day of Growing in Unity.   Be sure to leave a comment each day because I'll be selecting two winners when the week is over.  Each winner will receive a package of 25 random stamps from Unity Stamp Company!

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  Check out my Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday postings and be sure to leave your comments there too so you get the maximum chances at winning.

Growing in Unity - Day 3


Hi everyone and welcome to day three of Growing in Unity with Unity Stamp Company.   Today I'm straying away from the Angie Girls to show off these adorable little Penguin Pals.   I don't know about you but when I think of penguins I think of cold, brrrrrrr!   I was kind of sad that  I didn't get a chance to use these stamps for Christmas cards or for winter cards this year so I thought it would be fun to try to make a couple of any occasion cards that I can give all year long.




UK-834A-PENGUIN-PALS

Now, I know it's the end of April.  The flowers and trees are blooming and we have already started to mow that fresh green lawn every week.  But I'm thinking a little bit of snow in April never hurt anybody.  Let's give these little guys a few soft, shivering snowdrifts by blending with some distress ink and using a mask.

Stamps: Penguin Pals (Unity Stamp Company).
Ink: Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs), tumbled glass distress ink (Ranger), Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush markers.
Paper:  Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).
Accessories:  Silly Stitched dies (Lil' Inker Designs).



Penguins are easy, I just stamped them in black and gave them a slight highlight around the edges of their white areas with a Copic marker.  This adds a little dimension and gives their little bellies a look of being round.




Now, to say "hello" in the cutest way I warmed up this  penguin a little.  Out with the blues and in with the reds and yellows.   I circled this little guy with lots of warm color.

Stamps: Penquin Pals (Unity Stamp Company), Yay Stripes! (Catherine Pooler Designs), Mini Heart Print Background (The Ton).  
Ink:  Caviar (The Ton), Tiara (Catherine Pooler Designs), clear emboss (Versamark).   
Paper:  Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs), black (Simon Says Stamp).
Accessories:  Circles dies, Dotted Circles dies, Beautiful You die (Catherine Pooler Designs), Stitched Mats Square dies, Silly Stitched dies, Speech Bubbles 2 dies (Lil' Inker Designs), Hello Word die (The Ton), Copic Markers, twine, fine white embossing powder (WOW!), Glossy Accents, dimensional tape (3M).



I popped up the word bubble with dimensional tape and added some Glossy Accents to the glasses for extra credit.  See, Penguin Pals don't need snow.  They are cute in any kind of weather.



I hope you'll follow along with me the rest of the week because I have some more fun cards to share with you.  Be sure to leave a comment each day because I'll be selecting two winners when the week is over.  Each winner will receive a package of 25 random stamps from Unity Stamp Company!


Thank you so much for stopping by today.  Check out my Monday and Tuesday postings and be sure to leave your comments there too!

I'll see you tomorrow for another day of Growing in Unity.

Have an awesome day!

Growing in Unity - Day 2


Hi everyone!  Welcome to day two of my week of Growing in Unity with the Unity Stamp Company.  Thank you so much for following along with me.  Today I'm still having fun with my AngieGirls by Angie Blom.   I decided to make two cards using this one sweet stamp set.  I colored my first card using Kuretake real brush watercolor markers.  My second card was colored using Faber-Castell's Gelatos.   





I think girls like Cierra Girl  are pretty typical these days, gazing into her cell phone, snapping photos of anything and everything to share on social media or with her friends.  Finding someone to share these cards with won't be hard at all because most of my friends can relate, especially those with teenagers.

Stamps: Cierra Girl (Unity Stamp Company), Yay Stripes! (Catherine Pooler Designs).
Ink: Party Dress (Catherine Pooler Designs), onyx black (Versafine), Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush markers.
Paper:  Brisol watercolor (Canson), Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).
Accessories:  Smiling Fri-Dies (CAS-ual Fridays), bakers twine, gold glitter pen (Gellyroll).



Look at my Cierra Girl, her pretty pink phone coordinating with her manicure!




Using strips of black and white paper I made an inlaid striped background for my Cierra girl #2.

Stamps:  CierraGirl (Unity Stamp Company),  Mon Ami (CAS-ual Fridays).
Ink:  onyx black (Versafine), Gelatos (Faber-Castell).
Paper:  watercolor 140 lb (Canson), black (Simon Says Stamp), Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).
Accessories:  gold glitter pen (Gellyroll),  clear sequins, dimensional tape (3M).


Gelatos work great as watercolors.



Cierra may have a relaxed style but she still likes her bling!



I hope you'll follow along with me the rest of the week because I have some more fun cards to share with you.  Be sure to leave a comment each day because I'll be selecting two winners when the week is over.  Each winner will receive a package of 25 random stamps from Unity Stamp Company!

I'll see you tomorrow for another day of Growing in Unity.

Have a wonderful day!

Growing in Unity: Day 1

 Hi everyone!  I'm here today to kick off my week as GIU girl for the  Unity Stamp Company.  GIU stands for Growing in Unity.  I stumbled upon Unity Stamp Company kind of by accident last year and absolutely fell in love with their rubber stamped images.  I really found myself drawn to their AngieGirls series by artist Angie Blom.   There is something about these girls, most of them faceless that inspire me and just make me want to collect them and color them all.  They are dressed stylish, have beautiful hair and little details like jewelry and manicures just begging for a tiny touch of color.

So, with my first post as GIU girl I'd like to introduce you to:

 
Evelyn Girl


ANGIE-1292A-EVELYN-GIRL




My Evelyn Girl is headed to her best friend's birthday party with a beautiful bouquet of pink and purple balloons.  Dressed in her polka dotted party dress, little purple wedge shoes and stylish hat, she is ready for some birthday fun.

Stamps:   EvelynGirl (Unity Stamp Company),  Yay Stripes! (Catherine Pooler Designs).
Ink:  onyx black (Versafine), wisteria (Simon Says Stamp), Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush markers.
Paper:  Bristol watercolor (Canson), Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).
Accessories:  Stardust Stickles, bakers twine, white pitt pen (Faber-Castell).










I hope you'll follow along with me the rest of the week because I have some more fun cards to share with you.  Be sure to leave a comment each day because I'll be selecting two winners when the week is over.  Each winner will receive a package of 25 random stamps from Unity Stamp Company!

My GIU sister this week is Gail.  Be sure to stop by her blog to see her GIU creations and leave a comment because she is also giving away two prizes from Unity Stamp Company!!

Thank you so much for stopping by today.
I'll see you tomorrow for another day of Growing in Unity.

Spring Fling - The After Party


Hi everyone and Happy Friday!  Did you enjoy Catherine Pooler Design's  Spring Fling Blog Hop yesterday?  Wow!  Those projects from the design team were pretty awesome weren't they?  I just can't get enough of those amazing colors so I just kept on making cards.  Today I have two more to share with you using the fabulous  
Spring Fling bundle which includes;  Bellini, Mint to Be, It's a girl, It's a Boy, Melon Ice, Garden Party, Sweet Sixteen and Pixie Dust.



Today I wanted to pull in a couple of my other favorite stamp sets from over at Catherine Pooler Designs.  Did you know that the brand new Spot On Sentiments dies were created to coordinate with the Spot On stamp set from the Foundations Box?  Did you also know that you can buy the whole bundle of three Spot On Sentiment dies (Happy, Wishes and Congrats) or you can just purchase each die separately?  Check it out --->HERE<---

https://shop.catherinepooler.com/search?type=product&q=spot+on


On both my cards today I used my absolute favorite color in this new collection;  Bellini. 

If I had to describe Bellini I would say that it reminds me of an orange sherbet Push Up Pop!  It's a soft but very vibrant orange.



For the background of this first card, I masked off and blended Bellini to make a sunburst pattern.  I also used that awesome Spot On-Congrats die.  Look how big and bold this beautiful font is!  Talk about making a statement!!  

Stamps:  Spot On (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Inks:  Bellini, It's a Girl, It's a Boy, Mint to Be, Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Paper:  Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Accessories:  Circles dies, Spot on Sentiment-Congrats die (Catherine Pooler Designs), dimensional tape (3M).



With the Spot On Sentiment-Congrats blended in Midnight black ink on top of a Circles die, I thought it would be great to incorporate some Spot On stamps in a few of the other beautiful new colors;  Mint to Be, It's a Girl and It's a Boy.




For my second card I did some more masking and blending but this time I threw a couple more colors into the mix.  Along with my beautiful Bellini, I have It's a Girl and Mint to Be.

Stamps:  Simply Stated, Butterfly Notes (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Ink:  Bellini, It's a Girl, Mint to Be, Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Paper:   Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Accessories:  Dotted Circles dies (Catherine Pooler Designs), dimensional tape (3M), clear sequins.


I stamped the largest butterfly in the Butterfly Notes stamp set onto the center of a Dotted Circles die using beautiful Bellini. 




If you haven't had a chance to hop along with the Spring Fling Blog Hop yet, don't worry.  You still have plenty of time to hop along and get your comments in by Monday, April 24th at noon est.    Catherine Pooler is giving away three sets of these fabulous inks in the Party Collection: Spring Fling Bundle.  Yep, all 8 ink pads could be yours for FREE!  Just leave a comments on as many blogs as you can on the hop because each comment is a chance to win.  Just --->START HERE<---

CAS-ual Fridays The Challenge - Pink, Navy & White!

Hi everyone!  It's The Challenge time again over at CAS-ual Fridays!

Sadly, this week my tenure with CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Squad is coming to a close.   I've been playing along with the Gal Fridays over at The Challenge for a whole year now and it has been so much fun!  A big thanks to Michele and Alanna for putting up with me all these months,  haha!  You ladies are a class act and I hope to get the chance to work with you again real soon.

Now, on to The Challenge!!  We're going Pink, Navy & White!  The Challenge is to make a card using this beautiful color combination.

http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/2017/04/cfc172-color-challenge.html

For my card this week I used the following stamps and dies from CAS-ual Fridays:


Frankly and Friendly Flowers:

http://cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/products/frankly   http://cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/products/friendly-flowers-fri-dies




Pink, Navy and White is such different combination of colors for me.  I started this card off by cutting some 1/2" strips of white and soft navy cardstock.  Then I glued them onto a piece of thin cardstock and popped it up with fun foam on the bottom of this white card base.  This is a great way to achieve stripes if you don't have a striped background stamp handy.  I cut out a bunch of Friendly Flowers to add across the top of this striped piece.   I used some small pieces of dimensional tape to make sure the top flowers were popped up to the same level as the striped piece.



For this card I also used the following supplies:
Ink:  Soft Navy (Simon Says Stamp).
Paper:  Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs), Soft Navy, Cotton Candy, Doll Pink (Simon Says Stamp), Silver Sparkle (My Favorite Things).
Accessories:  fun foam, dimensional tape (3M).



The extra large sentiment from the Frankly stamp set was the perfect fit for the top of this card.  I stamped it in coordinating Soft Navy ink.  I also added some silver sparkle cardstock flowers for a little bling!






I hope you'll play along with us for your chance to win!

http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/2017/04/cfc172-color-challenge.html


All you have to do is make your own card using the color combination of Pink, Navy & White,  then link it up over on the 

I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Have a great weekend and happy stamping!

Spring Fling Release Blog Hop - Catherine Pooler Designs

Hi everyone and welcome to the Spring Fling Release Blog Hop with   
Catherine Pooler Designs.  We're hopping along today to show you the newest additions to  
The Party Collection.  We are showcasing 8 fabulous new spring colors that coordinate beautifully with the original 12 colors.  You can get the ink pads and the ink refills to go along with each color.

https://shop.catherinepooler.com/collections/new

Catherine Pooler Designs is also releasing three new die sets, two brand new stamp sets and a gorgeous new rubber background cling stamp.   You don't even have to wait because everything hits the online store today!



I made three cards for you today using these beautiful inks and the new stamps and dies.

My first card is a Mother's Day card.  I was so happy to see both "mother's day" and "father's day" sentiments included in the new Simply Stated stamp set.  Also, by repeatedly stamping this little tulip from this stamp set, I was able to  use six of the eight new inks on this card.  I used the Happy die from the Spot On Sentiments die set and blended over it with It's a Girl pink.  There are three word dies in this set but you can also purchase them individually as  
Happy, Congrats or Wishes.
Stamps:  Simply Stated, Butterfly Notes (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Inks:  Bellini, It's a Girl, It's a Boy, Sweet Sixteen, Garden Party, Pixie Dust, Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Paper:  Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Accessories:  Dotted Circle Dies, Spot on Sentiment Dies-Happy (Catherine Pooler Designs), dimensional tape (3M).




And now....my favorite little flower set EVER.....Beautiful You!  This card is my very first try using this stamp set.  I just brought out my Midnight ink and went to town trying out all florals, leaves and dots in this set.   Beautiful You is a sweet, whimsical, super simple little set of flowers,  exactly what I needed in my stash!  I filled them in with some water coloring using the purple shades of the Party Collection.
Stamps:  Beautiful You (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Ink:  Sweet Sixteen, Pixie Dust, Garden Party, Flirty Fuchsia, Grass Skirt, Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Paper:  Bristol watercolor (Strathmore), Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Accessories:  Circles dies (Catherine Pooler Designs), dimensional tape (3M), clear sequins, twine.


You really don't have to be a pro at coloring to use these flowers (whew! thank goodness!)  In fact, I came to the conclusion that simple coloring is best for me.




See what I mean by sweet??  I am seriously in love with the Beautiful You stamp set!  Here I did some stamping by pairing up some of the new colors with the originals in the Party Collection.  I used the darker colors to stamp the outlines of these flowers and then went in with the new lighter colors to watercolor.  I kept the water coloring simple and didn't worry about shading. It made this card super quick and easy to create.  What about that awesome, bold sentiment?  That is from the Simply Stated stamp set.  I just stamped it in Midnight ink and cut it out right along the thick black frame.  I used some dimensional tape to pop it up.  Check out those Yay Stripes! at the bottom for the perfect It's a Girl pink!!
Stamps:  Beautiful You, Simply Stated, Yay Stripes! (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Inks:  It's a Girl, Mint to Be, Garden Party, Bellini, Party Dress, Aquatini, Grass Skirt, Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Paper:  Bristol watercolor (Strathmore), Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs), dimensional tape (3M), clear sequins.

Hippety Hop! Easter's on it's way.

Hi everyone.   With Easter weekend fast approaching I thought I'd share a few sweet little cards I made to celebrate our furry, floppy eared, cotton tailed, carrot eating, hole digging, garden raiding friend.


My first card was some coloring fun using Copic markers and this large Rabbit stamp and die set by Kaisercraft. I'm not going to lie, it took some serious patience and concentration to color in all of these tiny little flowers and leaves.  But just look how beautiful!

 Stamps:  Rabbit (Kaisercraft), Celebrate Everyday (Hero Arts),  Minor Stripes Cling Background (The Ton).  Inks: onyx black (Versafine), Soft Garden (The Ton), Copic markers.  Paper:  Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Accessories:  Rabbit Die (Kaisercraft), twine, clear Wink of Stella glitter pen, dimensional tape (3M).


An interesting part of this die set is that each of the larger sized flowers have their own dies.  I cut them out and added a little dimensional tape to pop them up.





My next card is soft and simple using the Bunnies and Bows die set by Lil' Inker Designs and the Merry Label dies from the Candy Cane Lane Stamp of Approval Collection.  Your eyes are drawn straight to the little bunny on this card where where the pretty orange is showcased using The Perfect Reason stamp set.  I liked the clean look of this cardfront so I decided to forego the sentiment and just add  a "Happy Easter" to the inside.

Stamps:  The Perfect Reason (Stamp of Approval/The Perfect Reason Collection/Catherine Pooler Designs), Striped Backgrounds (My Favorite Things).  Ink:  Soft Sand (Hero Arts), Orange Twist (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Paper:  Natural (My Favorite Things), Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Accessories:  Bunnies & Bows (Lil' Inker Designs), Perfect Vine dies (Stamp of Approval/The Perfect Reason Collection), Merry Labels Dies (Stamp of Approval/Candy Cane Lane Collection), twine, dimensional tape (3M).


I cut the Perfect Vine dies from the same natural cardstock as the label to add some interest as well as keeping with the organic look of the card.  I also tied a big bow with some natural twine.





For my final card of Bunny cheer I'm using my absolute favorite bunny stamp EVER!  I ran across this adorable little guy and just had to have him.  Look at that face!  So sweet and so easy to color with Copic markers.  I went with a  full out cartoon/childrens book feel for this card.  From the awesome scripty Hello sentiment from the Hello World stamp set to the stenciled clouds and stamped butterfly it just has that animated look that I was going for.



Stamps:  Bunny and Egg (Art Impressions), Hello World (Catherine Pooler Designs), Happy Mail (WPlus9).  Ink:  Tumbled Glass, Old Paper (Ranger Distress), Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs), Copic Markers.  Paper:  Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Accessories:  Hello World dies (Catherine Pooler Designs), Chevron Cloud dies (Simon Says Stamp), Blueprints #15 dies (My Favorite Things), fun foam.


I gave this bunny, along with the Hello greeting a little lift with some fun foam.


Well, that's my Easter cards for this year.  I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and are able to share some time and maybe even a little sunshine with your family this weekend.

Have a great day!
