It's a Unity kind of day!

I can't believe that it has been almost a month since my last post. Things have been relaxing yet crazy with the holidays. One might think that being a teacher and having a week and a half off of school I would have time to craft.... HA! no such thing. I was traveling to visit family and upon our return we cleaned out our basement. We are awaiting new windows for the basement so we needed to make sure they could get them without destroying anything. You see my craft area is also in the basement which meant this was a great opportunity to reorganize. It's amazing how much stuff we can accumulate over the years. My goodness do I have a TON of dp.

Anyway, I made this great little card for this post but never got it uploaded to my computer. Instead I am sharing with you a card I made for the Ippity dt opportunity.


Materials needed: Kraft paper, Red glitter, heart punch, glitter pen, brown, blue, red and green inks and glitter pens.

For the glitter frame I cut the size I wanted out of heavier card stock (I used the white board that comes with the SU DP to keep it flat). I then used a glue pen and made an outline with the glue. Lastly I tossed the glitter on and had my frame. I did have to go back and apply some additional to certain bare spots but no big deal.





Well I have to get going. I hope you have fun hopping around!

A Little Friday Flair!!

Happy Friday!! This little card was made using my new IPPITY paper and Unity's Christmas List stamp and their brown ink. I made this little flower using the instructions found here!

This card is sooo easy! I hope you like it!

I used Life's Little Moments set for this card and the great designer paper that they have to offer. My other paper is all SU along with the ribbon and glitter. I used a glue pen on the "H" and then sprinkled it with green glitter. My girlfriend who is my left arm at work asked me for some birthday cards. I told her that she should circle the Date to give it a personal touch. I made another one in more manly colors too!

A Peaceful Christmas for an {Ippity} Challenge

I made this card using my new {ippity} stamps. I am selling these amazing stamps and you can get yours right here.

I used the Kissmas and Mistletoe set. This set is way to cute and is only $15.

I also used some of Unity's Designer Paper which you can get free when purchasing stamp sets from me. Yeah FREE!

My other paper was SU real red and green galore. My ribbon is also SU. The star is from ranger and it is 1/4" thick. I covered it in SU glitter. I tried the chunky glitter first and it didn't work. It made the star look like a big chunky glittery thing. My punch is from Martha which makes ribbon threading a breeze. The fun scallop punch is a new Martha punch too.



I cut out my trees after embossing them with white embossing powder and adhered the right and left one with adhesive and the center one with dimensionals. I also embossed the snow flakes and peace sentiment with my stamps from this same amazing set! As you can see I used white embossing powder.

I am really happy with how this card turned out and would love to hear what you think!

Happy Thursday and don't forget to check back tomorrow for Unity's Friends with Flair! Who knows... there might be something in it for you too!

Another Great Friday with Unity Friends!

It is late Thursday night as I type this so I apologize for the not including details. I made this card for the family of one of my students (a 7th grade boy). His father passed away Tuesday. I don't like the sympathy cards that are all sad and stuff. Dying is about celebrating ones life and I felt this card was appropriate. I hope you like it. I will try to add more details later.

Here are some more of the details -
My paper is from Michael's and I believe it is K & Co but it's at home and I am at school right now. :)
More importantly the stamp is from Unity of course - it is the from the Quote Bundle Pack which is 50% off right now! This set is a must have for anyone who loves quotes!!

The butterfly (large) is a sizzix die from SU and the little ones are from a Martha Stewart punch. I used misc. bling that I have in my stash. The cordoroy button is SU and the flower is Making memories (I think).

Thanks for all of the wonderful comments! They are truely apprecited.

Happy Friday!
