Unity tags

Hello, it's Jo here for my first post for a very long time having had a long break due to loss of mojo!!

I've been playing with distress inks today to make a couple of tags to share with you. I'm quite pleased with how they turned out and they may spur me on to make more!!

I used Unity stamps from Key to Joy and The Right Words.

Both tags were cut from scrap cardstock. I have a box full of tags ready cut in many different colours so I can just dip in when I need them but these were both originally cream.

I used various distress inks to colour the tags and then stamped the key background using distress ink.

The butterfly was stamped on to white cardstock and then coloured using Faber Castell Big Brush pens before being cut out.

The sentiment was also stamped on to white cardstock and then lightly tinted with distress inks. I needed to do a bit of masking with this one as some of the words are very close together and wouldn't cut out square.

For this one I used an old metal key that I painted with Vintaj paint and then used twine to hold it on the tag.

Thanks for visiting and I hope it's not too long until I'm back with more to share with you!!

Many birthday wishes

Hello.

Ive made a little card using my long neglected Unity stamps.

I used the unity store kit The right words.

I stamped the image in black straight onto the card.

Then made the background using a spritzer.

I stamped and coloured the image on another piece of card before cutting out and sticking over the first image.

Ive used Zig pens available from make the day special.

Colours used are 31, 53, 60 and 202.

And if you haven't seen we are having a celebration for reaching 500 blog posts for a chance to win all you have to do is leave a comment here.

DIY Wedding Organiser

I've been looking for a wedding organiser for a few weeks and was pretty disappointed on what was on offer in the shops. I don't know WHY it took me so long to remember that I am crafter...and am perfectly capable of designing my own! Duh. So here's some little peeks into my new wedding organiser....

 Stamps: Ippity 'Because of You' (bird stamp) and The Cat's Pyjamas 'Ewe Complete Me' (sentiment)

 Unity Store Kit: The Right Words

 Unity Store Kit: Wishes & Kisses

 Unity Store Kit: Wishes & Kisses

I bought a plain workbook from Paperchase which has loads of fab plastic wallets and card pockets included in the notebook. I used red and white acrylic paint to create the background on the front cover, added ribbon, vellum and the stamped image & sentiment. I then added some tags and used the teeny hearts from the 'Ewe Complete Me' set to embellish (glossy accents gave them a nice finish).

I have a feeling this is a work in progress and I'll spend lots more time adding to my new organiser!

Have a great weekend, 

A birthday tag

Today I have a birthday tag to share with you using a sentiment stamp from Unity's "The Right Words" available from the shop here.

I covered a tag using papers by SEI and cut out the streamer and party hat from patterned paper. The sentiment was stamped using Memento ink on to white card and then coloured with Promarkers. After colouring I decided that the white background was too bright so used an ivory marker to cover it.

Materials used:
SEI papers
Unity stamp (as above), brown Memento ink, Promarkers
My Mind's Eye buttons
pompom trim and organza ribbon.


Don't forget that our "Get em while you can" blog hop is still ongoing. Have a look here!

Baby Boy Blue

I continue to showcase the fabulous Unity Store Kit 'The Right Words'. This week, it's a baby card. I've combined it with Ippity's Moonbeams and Heartstrings, (also Unity stamps and available over at Emily's other Site Ippity Inspiration) which seemed a perfect match to me:

 I stitched round the left moon and added glossy accents to bring out the image.

Made very simply with one stamp, a range of coloured ink pads and a sewing machine.

Happy Birthday

To celebrate my birthday....I made myself a card! Tee hee. I've used the seriously gorgeous August Stamping Store Kit from Unity (The Right Words) to make this simple card:

I stamped the image straight onto the card and heat embossed it. I repeated this on a piece of white card and coloured each letter with Promarkers, adding foam before attaching them to the card. Lastly, I added some string and a button and voila!

Have a great week,
