Butterfly Birthday

It has been a busy summer full of fun with the kids, so not much time to stamp and share anything on here, but in the past few weeks I have finally had a little time to get crafty and here are some stuff I have been working on.

First a card made with the Papillon Potpourri set

 

I love how this turned out, the colors and butterflies make me think of summer days, and I LOVE summer and having the kids home every day.

 

In addition to making cards, I have been working on some Christmas gifts, here is a little cutting board I made yesterday

 

 

This was pretty quick and I think it will make a cute gift with a bottle of wine for a friend who started her new job today.

 

That is all for today, hope everyone has a great week!

Growing in Unity day 5 "Always & Forever"

Day 5 of GIU!

Today I made this card using one of my favorite color combos of black, white and red.  

 

I stamped the raised part of the embossing with the "She Script" background stamp, and I love how this turned out.

 

 The sentiment is from the "Generations" kit.

 

Thank you for stopping by all week, and don't forget to leave a comment for your chance to win some stamps from Unity.

Saturday I will be choosing a random winner from all the comments this week.

 

 TTFN!

Growing in Unity day 4 "Be Brave"

Today I have yet another masculine card to share. It is rare that I make any masculine cards at all (I love big bows...), so this has been a real challenge for me.

 

The stars are from an Itty Bitty stamp and the sentiment is from an amazing kit called "Empowered Words".

 

I am sending this card in a care package to a deployed friend, so he can send it home to his son who is having a difficult time with his dad being gone for so long.

Growing in Unity day 3 "Missing You"

Today I made a card using some stamps that I have had for a very long time, but I never inked them until now.

 

 

I was trying to make this kind of masculine without a lot of embellishments, but could not resist adding a starfish charm.

 

 

The image stamps are from a kit called "Beach Cottage" and the sentiment is from an itty bitty set.

Growing in Unity day Two "Baby"

Day two of GIU!

 

For today I made this cute baby card using the background stamp from the March 2011 KOM and the "baby" stamp from the April 2011 KOM.

 

 

I stamped the background first with brown ink, then I turned it upside down and stamped it again using pink ink on cream card stock.

 

 

I just added a big pink bow and some stick pins, and I think this is a cute card for a baby shower or a baby girl.

GIU Day One "Hello"

Hello and welcome to day one of Growing in Unity

 

For today I have a card that I made with the "Embrace You" kit, and I am not sure what the name of the kit the sentiment is from.

 

 

 

The swirl was stamped and embossed, and I just added some punched butterflies and some gems for a bit of sparkle.
