Growing in Unity Final Day: Buzzy Bees

Hello all you beautiful crafters!!!

It's my last day as the GIU girl at Unity Stamps! It has been so great getting to hear from stampers all over the blogosphere.

 

If this is the first post you've seen from my GIU posts, just make sure you leave a comment on the four previous posts this week for your chance of winning TWO Itty Bitty stamps of your choice from Unity.

I'm not sure what this little Unity Bee is called-he came to me as an extra stamp when I ordered. He really is CUTE isn't he?!?! I began by stamping Mr. Bee in versamark on a kraft base. I then embossed him in white to make him pop. Next, I colored in the images with Spectrum Noir Markers. I just had to add a touch of Stickles to their wings for sparkle.

I just cut a border strip from the honeycomb embossing folder and colored in a few of the hexagons to kick the card up a notch. Thanks for visiting with me this week. It's bee so fun.
Stop by again some time and see what I've got in the works.

I'll announce the winner of the Itty Bitty Stamps on Monday. TTFN!

Growing in Unity Day 4: Splendid Things

Today is day four in my Growing in Unity week! Every day this week I will post a project using Unity stamps and when you comment you are entered to win your choice of
 TWO Itty Bitty stamps!

Today's card features a Unity Stamp set called
Splendid Things

I stamped the dragonfly image in varying colors and positions across the front border and then stitched the panel. The yellow flower was made with an EK Success punch. The ruffle on the bottom is made with Architectural trace paper. All the patterned paper here is from Authentique.

I hope you're having a Super Happy Valentine's Day!

Growing in Unity Day 3: You + Me = Bliss

By now you've got the hang of this right? Hahaha.

Welcome to day Three of my Growing in Unity week at Unity Stamp Company!

Stop by every day this week and leave me a comment. At the end of the week I will randomly pick a winner and Unity will give you your choice of  TWO Itty Bitty stamps!

I made this card using the You + Me = Bliss stamp set. I don't think that Unity carries it anymore but the flowers are adorable and there's a cute bike image too.

For the bottom half of  my card I made a deconstructed quilting pattern our of quartered circles.
All papers are Authentique.
Hope you're having a fun filled crafting day!
Misty

Growing in Unity Day 2: Happiness

Welcome to day two of my Growing in Unity week at Unity Stamp Company!

Come by every day this week and leave me a comment and guess what?!?!?!

At the end of the week I will randomly pick a winner and Unity will give you your choice of 

TWO Itty Bitty stamps!

I know I have a hard time working with muted color palettes so this card was a bit of a challenge for me but I pushed on and am pleasantly surprised by it.

I used the Unity

Direction of Happy stamp set for the sentiment on this card. 

I added some lace and some Studio Calico Shine to give this card a little more oomph.
The paper is Basic Grey.

Hope you're day is filled with happiness.
Misty

Growing in Unity: Day 1, Sew Happy

Hello there and welcome to my first day of my Growing in Unity posts.
I will be posting a project each day that will use Unity stamps.
Be sure to leave a comment each day for more chances to win
TWO Unity Itty Bitty's
of your choice from Unity Stamp Co.

Up first is this sweet little number with the "Sew, Sew, Sew" set.

I also used some of my Kiwi Lane templates to get a cool paper wave.

And finally, I stitched a running stitch along the side of my card with some twine. I have so many friends that are crafty in the sewing department and I'm just not so I can't wait to give this to one of them.

All Tim Holtz Distress Inks
Peacock Feathers
Dried Marigold
Fired Brick
Aged Mahogany

Linking my card up to the Paper Girls Challenge #25 Twine.
