2024 Growing in Unity - Day 5

 

Happy Friday,

We have made it through another week.   I hope you have some great weekend plans

For my last project I went with one of my favorite images.   

The image comes from the True Colors kit.

This paint brush image is the reason I added this kit to my collection. 

I colored the image with Alcohol markers.

Added some Nuvo drops to the flowers.

The sentiment was stamped in red and embossed.

The sentiment comes from the Happiness is set

That is a wrap.

Hope you enjoyed my projects and found some inspiration

Thank you for all the wonderful comments.

Remember there is a giveaway.

2024 Growing in Unity - Day 4

 

Good morning my crafty friends.  

I hope you have been having a wonderful week.  

My time with  the Unity Stamp Company is almost over.

Do you have favorite color?  

If you know me, mine is purple.... purple everything.  

With that being said, I could not go a week without using purple in my project.  

I just love this paper, especially the floral piece.  I actually did not want to cut it at all.   

But paper must be used, so, I wanted to make the paper be the star of my card. 

Unity has so many wonderful sentiments.

The sentiment is from the Moments in Bloom set  

This is a great set if you are do not like to color images.

For the sentiment I embossed it using purple embossing powder. 

And then used some die cuts for the shapes.

Very quick and easy.

Remember there is a giveaway.

2024 Growing in Unity - Day 3

 

Happy Wednesday.  

Hope you are having a great week.   

For my project today I have two card layouts using the same image.  

 I could not decide which one to share. 

When stamping I usually stamp more than one image, 

This way I have so I have multiples to color.  

I can either use them for the future or have a throw away one for those coloring errors. 

 

The owl image comes from the True Colors kit.

This kit is my favorite of all of the kits in my stash. 

I colored the image using alcohol markers. 

 I then added some dimension to the flowers using Nuvo drops.

It is hard to see but both the green and brown papers are embossed with leaves.  

And the Shine sentiment is a rub on.  Remember those.  I found a few in my stash.

The Hello Beautiful sentiment is from the Gather Love Kit. 

 

Remember there is a giveaway.

2024 Growing in Unity - Day 2

 

Hello there my crafty friends.  Its day two for my week with Unity.

For my project today I took some inspiration from a project that I saw on Pinterest.   

I love the effect of the watercolor background with a simple back image

For my card I used my color burst powder. 

 I still have not mastered using color burst.  I feel like I usually make more of a mess.  

I made a whole bunch of little squares of many different colors.  

I then settled on the green/yellow groups.  

I then stamped and embossed the images onto those squares.   In the future I think I would stamp the images and then cut or punch out the squares. 

I went with the tall card layout.  My card is 8-1/2" x 3-3/8" to fit the envelopes I have.

The images I chose came from 3 different sets.   Within Beauty,  Whole Wonderful World, 

and Feel the Joy.

  

That is my project for today.  

Remember there is a giveaway.

2024 Growing in Unity - Day One

 

Happy Monday my crafty friends.

I am excited to be the GIU gal this week.  

 I've been very busy with daily life activities and have not been able to spend a lot of time crafting.  It was very nice to be able to dust off the supplies and create some projects to share with you. 

For today's project I chose to use an image from the Open Sky, Deep Ocean KOM.  

This is such a lovely set. 

The flower is nice and large.  It is perfect for a 5" x 7" Card layout.

I colored the image using alcohol markers and chose to add a little sparkle.  

 I used some chucky black glitter for the flower's center.  

I found some fun paper in my stash to add some color to the background. The sentiment is one that was included in a grab bag I purchased from Unity.  I'm not sure which set it is from.

Be sure to head over to the Unity Stamp Company and see what other 

fabulous images they have to offer. 

Now for the fun stuff.  

 There is a giveaway.

  

Please leave a comment every day and the end of the week I will choose a couple of lucky winners to receive a $20 credit to the Unity website.
