FWF: Brightening up a room

Welcome to Unity's Friends with Flair! It's been far too long since I've gotten my fingers inky, but with so many irons in the fire right now it's hard sometimes to just sit and stamp!

This week I have something a little different for me. A friend asked me to take a couple of old frames from our church's parsonage and "do something nice with them". The other frame is still a work in progress, but I was able to finish this one last night when I couldn't sleep.

Stamps: Unity Blossom Stackers, Sweet & Sassy Love Scripture; Inks: Ranger Distress inks in Mowed Lawn & Black Soot, Memento Rhubarb Stalk; papers: DCWV Crafty Stack

I took some coordinating papers, stamped on them and put them in the frame - easy peasy! The sentiment isn't from Unity, but the rest of the stamping is.  :)  I also entered this in Unity's {be inspired} challenge even though my colors are a bit deeper than the inspiration photo.

Friends with Flair: Cheerful Poppies

Welcome to Friends with Flair! Remember to visit the Unity blog to see the full list of entries, comment on each one and be entered for a prize. In fact, make sure you comment on yesterdays Hip Hop blogs to win a prize, too - I won some great stamps and papers last week!

I think I have far too many flower stamps in my collection. Is there even such a thing as too many flowers? Nah! I've been longing after the Donna Poppies set for a looooong time and finally broke down when I saw them on sale. I have so many ideas of how to use them, but today I just wanted to get them inky on a quick card. These are so pretty and HUGE that it was simple to make a CAS card and let the flowers take center stage! This was the smaller silhouette stamp.

The next time I make a card like this, I think I'll just randomly stamp the poppies all over a large piece of cardstock, then cut it to the sizes I need to make multiples super fast!

Thank you for stopping buy today. Have a terrific weekend!

Friends with Flair - quick labels!

Welcome back to another week of Friends with Flair! Make sure you visit the Unity blog to see all the customer projects this week - leave a comment on each one to enter for a prize!

This week I needed some labels for our church's ladies retreat. We are making our own bath salts, and I thought it would be nice to dress up the canister with a homemade label.

I love the Blossom Stackers set and coordinating Spellbinders die! It made it so easy to whip up these labels. Some of them are monochromatic, and some use complimentary colors. So easy!

Have a super weekend!

FWF: A new spin on an old favorite

I made a card about a year ago that I just love and has become a customer favorite in my Etsy shop. When Unity decided to run a week-long tag challenge on Facebook, I decided to take the card as inspiration and make it into a tag.

Unity stamps: A Moment in Time, My True Joy and SHE-art print texture; Ranger Distress inks: Forest Moss, Peeled Paint, Crushed Olive, Worn Lipstick; Sugar Creek Hollow Ribbon: Candy Apple

FWF: Groovy Day

Hello! I'm glad you stopped by today. I haven't had much time lately for stamping, but I did manage today to crank out a card. I really need to do more birthday cards, so I pulled out my "Something Groovy" stamp and some hippie-ish Basic Grey paper. See?

Stamps: ippity by Unity Something Groovy; dsp: Basic Grey Lime Rickey

I used the sketch from Mojo Monday and used markers to color the VW and "GROOVY" for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge.

Have a GROOVY weekend!
