Unity & My Sweet Petunia Blog Hop!!

Welcome to my blog! Today, I am participating in a hop as part of the

Unity Stamp Company & My Sweet Petunia Blog Hop!

Creating a project using my Misti stamp tool, using my

Unity Stamp Company new stamp kit called "Oh Splendid Spring"

I love being able to align my stamp precisely where I want

onto my water color paper using the fabulous MISTI stamp tool!

Water colored this sweet new image using my distress markers...

Then, I added some crinkly ribbon I made using distress inks,

added some machinge & zig-zag stitching, and that adorable pom-pom lace!

Unity & Beth Duff Designs Blog Hop!

Hello there friends! Today, I am participating in a hop as part of the

Unity Stamp Company & Beth Duff Designs Hop!

Today, I am sharing two amazing sets...mixing and matching them

to create this card using water colors. I went for a soft tone to the card,

but the girl looks great in both bright and soft tones! I love the sentiments

and all the lovely images in these new stamp kits!

I've added some little beads to the center of the flowers to add

some texture to the card. I also popped the main sentiment

up to make her stand out!

Let Your Hair Down Kit

Choose What to Become

We have TWO amazing Unity filled prize packages to give away.

Leave a comment on EACH design team member’s blog in the hop for your chance to win.

{We will announce the winners on the Unity blog TUESDAY night.}

Unity & Brutus Monroe Blog Hop!

Hello there friends! Today, I am participating in a hop as part of the

Unity Stamp Company & Brutus Monroe Blog Hop!

I'm sharing a tag that I made using the "Hit the Brick" stamp background kit!

I decided to make it a white/grey wall, to make my tag a little shabby.

Although, this is just one way to see the contrast on how this stamp can be used,

I'm totally looking foward to using this background set and the other 3 releasing today

in so many other ways! Hope you find some inspiration here with this project created!

Hit the Brick

Loving each background being released today!

I can't wait to play and create more with these amazing stamp backgrounds!

Note: Other Unity stamps sets used for this project are: Beautiful Birthday Wishes, Obsessively Grateful, and Blossom & Flourish.

There is even more inpiration for you so...

on to the rest of the blog hop! Next up is Lisa Arana!

Have a wonderful day! I'll be looking out for what you create

with these new Unity stamps designed by Brutus Monroe.

Unity's July Blog Hop...

It's time for another Unity Blog Hop and this time we have NINE new HOLIDAY stamp kits

releasing today! Today, I am sharing a couple of sweet snowman stamps!

Love the snowman, so I had to color these two right away! There's a few more

I'll be inking up and a few more holiday stamps to share with you this week!

For now, here's this adorable one colored up with water colors with a bit of ribbon, button, and lace!

Love that little bunny as well!!

Always Had My Heart Kit

Then, we have this one with this fabulous sentient...

Little vintage card, with distressing, buttons, and twine ribbon, & stitching!

Days a Little Off Kit

That's it for now! I wasn't sure I was ready to color up the holidays, with the heat wave

we've been feeling, but these new stamps were too irresistible to pass up!

Come back later for some more I have to share!

Can't wait to see what you all create with this release!

Enjoy this month's blog hop! Next up is Kary!!

June Unity Inspiration Hop!

Welcome to the Unity Inspiration Hop!

It is my turn to share three projects with you today

on some of the newest kits releasing today!

They are all colored with my Distress Markers, and each one has some

hints of vintage and shabby, stitching & distressing!

Hope you enjoy, and these projects may inspire your creations

This first one, has some stitching, distressing and a little music sheet.

Love making little tags, and this one was fun to put together

in way to bring shabby, vintage, and distress together to bring me pure joy!

Little sparkle on the flower, and pop ups too!

Beautiful sentiment kit, was what inspired me to showcase it

with some beautiful blooms and some dictionary page,

and lovely Tim Holtz and Prima papers!

That's it for now, and I am hoping to share some more

projects soon with these amazing Graciellie kits!

These are the kits I used today...

Don't forget, we have a Unity prize package to give away

for hopping along with us...

Now, let's continue on with the hop! Next, up is Kary!

Happy Creating!

Hugs & Smiles,

Karen

May Blog Hop...

It's time for another Unity Blog Hop and this year, we are celebrating "10" years!

You are going to be blown away with all the AMAZING new stamp kits being released

for this year's Unity Stamp Company celebration!

So, let's get this party started with a few more cards that I have to share with you...

A little vintage and watercoloring on this one, mixed with some emphemera,

and onto a background that has been coffee-stained and stamped with a Unity

script-style stamp from the Hug Kit to tie into the theme.

You are Forever Beautiful

Then, a water colored card, mixed with a little paper-piecing on

the bottom part of her dress...

I just adore her pose, and those huge balloons!

Margaret

Finally, a little pink feather that was water colored

with a little wonky machine stitch, button, white pen, on the feathers,

and some black twine!

Feel the Freedom

So, that's about it for today, but come back and visit, as I will be sharing

even more inspiration from this big 10th birthday celebration!

Now, for today's blog hop list:

Have a beautiful day!

Hugs & Smiles,

Karen

April Unity Hop!

So glad you are joining us today for this month's Unity Blog Hop!

I've got two projects to share with you, and they are from the

Cuddle Animal stamp kit collection by Unity Stamp Company!

First up, is this shabby little tag I made using the Cuddle Teddy Bear!

This could very well be used for a baby gift, using the other sentiment included!!

Lots of different elements like stitching, twine, rick-rack, lace, dies, flowers,

as well as machine stitching to create this one...

Cuddlebug Teddy Bear

Second up, is this card I made using my Copics, dies, and this

amazing new Cuddle Butterfly stamp kit. After I fussy cut the stamp...

I popped her up using some pop-dots, and her wings were folded a little upward to look

like she is still fluttering! There's a little machine stitching, and a small banner

used for the sentiment.

Cuddlebug Butterfly

So what do you think? Aren't these Cuddle Animals the cutest?

Stop by the Unity on-line store, to see all of the Cuddle Animals stamp kits that

are on sale! Also, the newest Planner Girl set is out and you can buy it today, or get

it for free with your purchase of $75 or more!!

Now, on to this month's Unity Blog Hop!

Enjoy and hope you'll enjoy all the inspiration we have to share with you today!

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs & Smiles,

Unity's March Hop...

So, very happy that you are joining us again for this month's Unity Hop!

I've got two ANGIE GIRL cards to share with you today, and both sets

are on sale right now for $10, plus...there are even more Angie Girl

sets that are on sale as well!

First up is this beauty, that just totally screams Spring Time for me!

Love the simplicity of daisies, and all the amazing colors of these flowers.

Now, how sweet is this Angie girls outfit. I gave her shirt a little

sparkle with some Wink of Stella brush pen.

Daisy Girl

Then, this sweet duo Best Girls, makes me smile! This reminds

me of those tulip fields you go to visit and just stand there

in awe of the beauty we've been given!

Colored in Copics and because I love tulips in different colors, I decided

that's the way I'd showcase them today.

Best Girls

I hope you're inspired today with all the amazing creations

the rest of the Design Team has to share with you today!
