Thanks, Friends of Unity!

Hello!

Today's post is all about the goodies I received recently from Unity Show 'n Tell Color challenge from July.  I've made 3 cards, so this will be photo heavy, plus they'll be going to different challenges - here they are!

Copic-colored, fussy cut and mounted on an ink-blended panel.  This also fits into their current sketch.

This one was already mailed to the sender of my winnings.  It will go to ~

 

Card #2 ~

Colored, cut and layered, placed over some new pp, then the sentiment added with a handmade layered label.  These next two will go in my stash!

This one will be sent to ~

And finally, Card #3...

Stamped and colored, then cut out with a die I've been itching to use.  The base card was embossed with the largest die of a set, then the red panel was cut with a smaller die of the same set.  Oh, winking of the snow, hat bands and pom-poms, plus adding the twine too!  

Notice those colors?  Also heading to ~

 

Supplies:

   Card #1 - UN Layers of Life: Tiny Moments (NBUS); Splb Gorgeous You sentiment

   Card #2 - UN Cuddlebug Puppy (NBUS), and Cozy Cafe (NBUS) pp; Splb Grand Large Labels

   Card #3 - UN Stay Cozy (NBUS), and Grunge Cuts dies (NBUS); MFT Wonky Stitched Rectangles

If you made it all the way through the photos, congratulations and THANKS!  Your friendship, inspiration and motivation are not unnoticed!

Hugs,

You Make Everything Bloom

Welcome, Friends, cold or warm!

Today I have a card that I hope will fit a couple of challenges, Double D - Friends, Freshly Made Sketches #721  and NBUS #82 ~

Now, wouldn't you say that sentiment to a Friend?  I hope so!  Either way, it'll work for me and I think he's adorable.  I used the sketch at FMS, over a stamped background and a colored strip.  I do hope my heart is ok, I didn't want to obscure it so I placed it out a little.  My other addition is the sentiment to give him a base to balance over.

Yep, he's pretty cute!  Li'l Bloomer and Faithful Letter background are both on their maiden outing.

 

Supplies:

   Unity - Faithful Letter bg stamp, Li'l Bloomer stamp

   LF - Inside Out Stitched Hearts die

   MFT - Blueprints 27

We've officially entered the weekend, I hope you have a great one planned.  Those of you socked in with snow, may your days be freer to venture out.  Stay safe!

Hugs,

Good Friend

Hello!

Long time no see (er... be here)!  I've been in the background stalking, as moments would allow, but I HAD to make a card with some new toys, so here she be ~

I started with Jill's sketch #1 from her New Year's Motivation series, and it's beautiful.  The products I used are all NBUS from Christmas, not that long ago, which is awesome!!!  My sweet kiddo was colored with Copics.  In Jill's sketch, she used the white strip only to transition from the embossed piece to the base; however, I decided to add the red strip and give 'er another pop of color!  Here's a close-up of the sweet girl ~

Oh yes, and a little sparkle on her bag!

I'll be sending this card to several challenges, yay me!  Amazingly, I made the card first, and then decided to look around to see what fit...

NBUS #71 (all products), Penny Black Saturday Challenge (no hearts but lotsa red, a first entry for this challenge), FMS #673, Triple B Feb '25 (oh, that glorious red, even if my bird is blue!).

 

Supplies:

   PB - Bundled Buddies stamp, Noted embossing folder, Classy Frames

Whew!  You'd think I hadn't done this in a while (well that's true)!  Thank you for the visit, and your patience in my away time.  I still may not be very regular at posting for a while, but I sure am gonna try.

Hugs,

TK

A Trio of PFS

 Hello and welcome!

Today I'm bringing a trio of cards from the recent PFS Create & Connect - Hot Foil/Press Plate event.  We made two cards for each class, plus two Make & Takes to do on your own.  Today's cards actually come from Class 3 -- why class 3 first?  Well, because I already got to use one, so why wreck the suspense on the other classes - lol.  This class was taught by Emily Midgett, so the first two cards are her designs ~

Card #1 uses a beautiful floral press plate, then inked through stencils.  The center "label" portion is actually made with one of the dies that came with our kits, and the sentiments are all pre-foiled ephemera packs.  A bit of soft blending under the label and this card is good to go -- love the soft inking and delicate colors on this one.  This is a full slimline, which isn't my go-to but I didn't want to cut off too much of the beautiful flowers to make it mini.

Card #2 is very interesting and beautiful!  A press plate was pressed into the base and then blended around the edges.  And that beautiful oval?  Remind anyone of the old cameos?  It is a negative press plate, so you ink the orange portion, and the remaining white is the negative portion -- so cool!  I really love this card 😊

This one is one of the Make & Takes for this class, a design by Heather Hoffman -- be still my heart!  Another one of the great cards from the classes... #pfcreateandconnect

Well, it took me awhile to start getting these posted.  While I made the class cards (all but one) during the session, it took a while to get the M&T's done, around "life".  I hope you've enjoyed these, and I'll be back for more.

Supplies:

   Card #1 PFS - Honeysuckle pp/stencil/die; Blanket Stitch Bracket dies; foiled ephemera sentiment; gold dust dots

   Card #2 PFS - Splendid Florals Detail pp; Oval Blossom pp/dies; foiled ephemera sentiment; gold dots

   Card #3 PFS - Honeysuckle pp/stencil/die; Framed Floral Arch die; foiled ephemera sentiment; gold dots

Thank you, All, for the visit!  Stay cool and see you soon!

Hugs,
