Unity Blog Hop...

Hi there blog friends!  Welcome to today's Unity Blog hop!
 Today, I am sharing a card I made using one of March's new stamp sets
called "Remembering You Blooms".

This  set comes with a beautiful quote, and it's such a lovely thank you sentiment to pass along

to that special someone.  I really love those gorgeous flowers too!!

I colored these flowers in with various light and medium pink tones using my Copics.

Then, I added a little banner and butterfly to the bottom corner for extra pop!

There's still some time to grab any of the newest Unity releases  that came out this month!

Remembering You Blooms

Enjoy your day and the rest of the hop!

I love the sentiment and sweet reminder that God is Love.

Sharing my shabby card featuring this beautiful quote

included in Unity's Kit of the Month - "Allow Beauty"!!

I really wanted the quote to stand out, so I distressed inked

the background and then stamped and lightly colored in some of the words!

The scallop background paper was also inked up.

Just a bit of stitching, pop dots, and a  handmade shabby sunflower were added!

Sharing this Cheery Lynn Designs card I made for this week's challenge!

I love to layer, so basically, I started with the French Flair Classic Silver Stacker

die as my base.  Next, layered the Horizon Fishtail Banner right on top of the 

French Flair piece.  Then, I  die cut the Pierced Stacker #2 and 

stamped my sentiment.  I layered this onto the Circle Classic Silver Stacker, 

and then place it onto the Daphne Doily! You will notice that 

I intentionally left some of the pieces within the doily for a slightly different look.

Then, I made a blue daisy using the Daisy Strip!

I die cut the Leafy Flourish and Leaf sets and placed them both underneath my flower.

I added a sweet rhinestone flourish as well!

Lastly, I cut out one of the butterflies from my Small Exotic Butterflies set,

and added a few shiny pearls.

List of dies used: 

French Flair Classic Silver Stacker

DL278 Horizon Fishtail Banner

XL20 Pierced Stacker #2

DL264 Daphne Doily w/Angel Wing

L4 Circle Classic Silver Stacker

A Lifetime Together...

I've got an Anniversary card to share with you

that I made for this week's Cheery Lynn Designs "Lace (real or faux)"!

I started by layering several strips of paper across my 4.25 x 7 card.

I tore some of the top and bottom pieces and ink distressed.

Then, I tucked layers of the Dancing Doily Lace Border

and  Siena Double Edge Border (which are both my faux 'lace strips')!

Then, I made a big Stacker Flower 6, and using the long strip from the

Black Eyed Susan Strip die, I made a center of my flower!
I tucked two of the  Dandelions flowers beneath the flower,
and layered a few  Tropical Leaves, and that's it!!

List of dies:

DL134 Dancing Doily Lace Border

B373 Siena Double Edge Border

SF6 Stacker Flower 6

B338 Black Eyed Susan Strip

B453 Dandelions

B119 Tropical Leaves

Shabby Friendship Card...

Sharing my shabby friendship card with you today...

I started by using the Square Classic Silver Stacker for the card base!

Then, using the Dutch Daisy Square Doily, layer it onto the card base.

I added some pop dots for dimension.

Next, I added another smaller square die using the romantic flower designer paper.

Lastly, I used the Royal Scandinavian Tag 2 in pale blue paper,

added the sentiment onto it!  I used pop dots underneath this piece as well!!

I created a few small flowers using the Sweet Christine in yellow paper, along

with the Flourish #6 laying behind the tag on the top and bottom corners!!

I thought this would make a sweet card to give to a very special friend.

I love having these type of cards on hand for those "just because" type of moments!

Here's a list of dies used:

L1 Square Classic Silver Stacker

DL305 Dutch Daisy Square Doily

B546 Royal Scandinavian Tag 2

B434 Sweet Christine

CAFLRS-6 Flourish #6

Have a wonderful day!

Beautiful Moments...

I have this elegant card & lovely sentiment "collect beautiful moments"!

Start by taking your Card Maker Rectangle Classic set and

layer three of them using grey and mustard designer papers.

Layer the smallest die from the Deutschland Boutique Stacker A2 Frame

set across the top part of the smallest classic layer die in grey

with the bottom of that strip in ivory designer paper.

Then, make two Shasta Daisy flowers,

using the leaves from the Tea Rose Medium set,

and add a few of the Tiny Fanciful Flourish Right/Left in

between the flowers, and that's all!!

List of the dies used:

CM1 - Card Maker Rectangle Classic

DL294 Deutschland Boutique Stacker A2 Frame

B310 Shasta Daisy

B436 Tea Rose Medium

B387 Tiny Fanciful Flourish Right/Left

Hugs & Smiles,

God Bless...

Sharing my Thanksgiving card...

First, I started by using the French Flair Classic Silver Stacker

 as the frame for the card.

Then, I took the Mesh Border, and ran it through 

the die cut machine (only 1 time).  By doing this, it retained the little tiny pieces 

that typically fall out when you die cut.
After, I cut the border, I placed the same French Flair Stacker
right on top of it to create this border that would lie right on top 

of the designer paper card frame piece!

Next, I layered Tom the Turkey, Pierced Stacker #3, 

and the Classic Circle Silver Stacker dies.  

Using the God Bless sentiment, 

I die cut and then placed it onto the turkey!

Lastly, I made three flowers using the Sweet William Strip and

  Rose Leaf Strip.   Then, I added some shiny brads 

for the center of the flowers!

List of dies used:

CARA26 God Bless

B241 Rose Leaf Strip

B307 Sweet William Strip

B599 Tom the Turkey

XL21 Pierced Stacker #3

L4 Classic Circle Silver Stacker

L12 French Flair Classic Silver Stacker

B254 Mesh Border

Hugs & Smiles,
