Too Much, Too Often Daisies - New Unity SOTW

Good morning! Dropping by this morning to share a card using the brand new Stamp of the Week from Unity Stamp Company that just came out today.

Here is the brand new Stamp of the Week - Too Much, Too Often Daisies! Check out this lovely image - and absolutely perfect sentiment:

Make sure and pop over to the website and read about the Stamp of the Week if you aren't familiar - a super adorable stamp lands in your mailbox each week, for less than you probably spend on coffee in a week! A fabulous surprise - and who doesn't love surprises!!

I stamped it on some of the new Lawn Fawn watercolor pattern paper, colored lightly with colored pencils, and die cut down to shape. Added a scrap of doily on the top right side, some jute twine wrapped around, and some Pretty Pink Posh clear droplets, then mounted it with foam adhesive over my other pattern paper. Finished off by covering the daisies with Glossy Accents, and once that dried I outlined them with a white gel pen to make them pop just a dab more!

You Are a Classic

Good morning again! Swinging by with a card and Quick Tip video this morning from a couple weeks ago (sometimes I get SOOO behind on blogging it seems! Haha!) - anyway, this was made around Father's Day, but I think it would make a fabulous birthday card as well.

Here is the video showing how I layered up the washi tape on the top of my card:

That pattern paper is from an older paper pad - but I'm such a sucker for a good map paper! I've been hoarding it for so long that I was glad to finally be able to use it!

'Advent Calendar Extravaganza with Taheerah Atchia

Good morning! I'm joining in today with a fun event - and I'm officially sharing my Christmas cards for the year! I pulled them off fairly late in the year - but took a few hours on two days to make over 60 cards, thanks to the MISTI stamping tool, and my fabulous little minion helpers (AKA daughters aged 11 and 12!) The next day I realized I was a few short, so I quickly put together an additional 12 cards - they really came together quickly! But before I tell you more - here is a little more about today's event and GIVEAWAY!!!

Advent Calendar Extravaganza is -the- festive event of the season! This 'hop with a twist' was dreamed up by Taheerah Atchia and features surprise destinations each day! Joining in the fun with Taheerah are over 60 special guests - each serving up some fantastic Christmas inspiration!

Join in the fun every day at taheerah-atchia.com to see what special surprises wait behind the door!

And...I'm happy to share my Christmas cards for this year! I had lots of fun combining product from SEVERAL different manufacturers - something I rarely have the freedom to do, and it is so liberating!

I lined up the bird stamp on the MISTI, and one daughter inked and stamped all the birds while I trimmed the papers to size, and the other daughter worked on cutting the little bows out of gold cardstock. They switched somewhere in the middle for a break! Then I lined up the sentiment, and one of them stamped that in the green, while the other added the white inking around the edges of the kraft cardstock. By that time, I had all the other layers trimmed to size - so I began assembling the layers.

Once I had the front panels put together - minus the bows - I handed them each a Copic marker, and they "messy colored" the berries and leaves - I told them to do it that way on purpose, a little hard for my perfectionist daughter, but the other one loved it! Hahaha! While they did that, I cut, scored, and folded the cardbases. And then - I just couldn't resist one more step! I added Glossy Accents over each of the berries, then sprinkled with some distress glitter - it was just the touch they needed!

Once that dried, I finished off by attaching the bows with a tiny dot of adhesive, let those dry super well, then attached to the cardbases - and stamped the sentiment on the inside - again with the help of my trusty MISTI. Can't imagine doing this job without it!
