Hoppin' with Unity...

Welcome to this month's Unity Hop!  Hope you like a few new projects

I made this month!  This first month is one of the newest sets recently released,

and it is called "New Magic"!

She's been colored with Copics, and there's bits of Wink of Stella on her

wings as well as the butterfly!  I added a little lace doily and some handmade

flowers I made using some of my Lindy Magicals and Spray as well as some tiny

beads to the centers, and distress ink mix to the leaves.

New Magic

Next up, I am sharing a watercolor card that I made using my distress markers!

I added a shiny bling, little paperclip and watercolored doilies to add to the

softness I was going for in this project...

The image is from the October - Holiday Hugs KOTM.  Make sure

you sign up by the end of December to be locked into this $26 rate, 'cause

come the beginning of the year, the price will be going up!  But, it is

so worth it, and I am so happy that Unity was able to keep this pricing

for those who want to lock in this year!!

The fun sentiment is from another older kit, but still one of my favorite

kits (and it's on sale for a great price, right now)!

Hugs & Smiles,

I often think of you...

 

I made another card using one of the newest Unity release sets

called "Feather Soft Love"!

 

Colored in with copic shades of blues, greens, and greys.

Little gold filled heart within this sentiment tops it off!

Scrap-Mart: Mini Blossom Card!!

I have a sweet mini Blossom Card to share with you.
It features one of the NEW Spellbinder dies...

Blossom Five

Really easy to put together by making the base of

my mini card with the Blossom Five die... 

and the center using Echo Park designer paper & a Standard Spellbinder die.  

My flowers are handmade (again with the Blossom Five die), 

 by using Glimmer Mist pink and blue shades

spritzed light and heavy to give you that real flower loo...

and with just ONE sheet of paper towel!  Pretty cool right?

I admit, one of my most favorite flowers to create...they're soft and scrunchy!

I took it a step further and decided to spray Glimmer Mists

 in shades of green for the foliage..another NEW Spellbinder die!

The sentiment set is from Just Rite Stamps,

and it was stamped onto another

Spellbinder Die - Label Twenty Three!

Scrap-Mart: "Thinking of You" Card

It's my day to share a project I've made using products you can purchase directly from the
Scrap-Mart on-line store!

Thought I would share a  "Thinking of You" card to cheer someone up that's having a hard time right now.   I have a very special friend that is in need of some comfort right now, so I had her in mind when I made this card!

You'll see I added a sweet little birdie that's a "Cuckoo clock" die cut designed by Samantha Walker, and the little handmade flower is also a die by Heartfelt Creations called "Posy Patch" to my Spellbinders Label Eighteen (in pink).  The beautiful Unity sentiment lays on a Spellbinder Classic Oval with Scallop die.  Everything has been distressed ink with Ranger Distress Inks too!  And, don't you just love that Spellbinder Postage Stamp die...so perfect with the Crate Paper "Random" 6x6 Mini Pad.

Well, I am off to mail this to my beautiful girlfriend!  Hope you get a chance to get caught up in making cards or any other craft project you might have in mind!!

Have a fabulous day!

Hugs & Smiles,

Happy Monday!  Sharing one of  La-La Land Crafts new Summer Releases - "Marci with Flower" with my new sweet Jillibean Soup - Watermelon Gazpacho 6x6 designer papers!  Today's La-La Land Crafts weekly challenge is to "use a bit of red"!   So, here's my take on it with little hints of red popping out!

These are the Silhouette die files designed by Samantha Walker that I used to make my card:

So, what do you think? Pretty fun shapes and lovely papers right?  I added a little button, thread, pearls, and rhinestones for some added flair.  Then, for dimension I just had to add some pop dots!!

Thinking of You Sitting Marci!

Oh my goodness..it's March 1st!  That means it's almost Springtime, so I thought I would share sweet little Sitting Marci with you all today!  I'm really digging the NEW Play Time DIGI stamp collection of La-La Land Craft stamps..and hope you are too!!

Isn't she so cute sitting and thinking about her sweet friend?  Designer Papers I used are from Doodlebug, and really remind me of Springtime.  I've added a beautiful pink gingham ribbon, Doodlebug brad, some machine stitching, and fun color palette to show you how ready I am for Spring-time!  How about you?

Here's a close-up of this sweetie...I just love her hair texture and that adorable outfit she is wearing!!   So funny, but I have to share...my daughter owned a little outfit almost exactly like this one that I sewed for her years ago and with these similar colors!  I guess that's why it's touched me so when I saw this paper and with what Sitting Marci was wearing, I just had to use the color palette again!!

That wraps it up for me today!! Enjoy your week!  

Hugs & Smiles,

H{ippity} Hop!!

Happy Monday {ippity} friends!!  It's the 4th week of our monthly IHHTC2 challenge, which means we have a "final twist" this week!  So, today we are challenging you to "use ribbon"!!

I pulled out my gingham ribbon today, and decided to make a gathered ribbon flower embellishment for my card!  I thought it would be a sweet touch to the adorable little birdie papers by My Mind's Eye called "Tickled Pink"!    The {ippity} sentiment is from the "How You Doin'?" stamp set!!

I'm hoping this card will bring a little sunshine to my Auntie, and I sure hope that will cheer here up a bit!

Next on the hop is  LISA ARANA who has made a gorgeous creation to share with you today!! 

Hugs & Smiles,
