Growing in Unity...Day Two

Hi Peeps! Welcome back to another day of stamping from Unity Stamp Co.. I have another project today that uses the Samantha Walker Blossom Stackers stamp set. On this one I also utilized the coordinating Spellbinders dies.

This card was the result of what we like to call of happy little mistake. Originally I had in mind that this was going to be a shaped card. Then after I attempted to die cut it, I realized that I used card stock that was too heavy. It had only cut through the first layer of paper....BUT it then had made a lovely impression on the inside of the card. I thought it was kind of cool so I went with it! You can see a glimpse of it below.

...and here is that impression in all of it's glory!

That will be a great little spot for my hand written sentiment!

See you all back here tomorrow! Don't forget to leave a comment to be entered into the random drawing to win an Itty Bitty stamp of your choice!

Edgeabilities...

Swoon, I so love these new die sets from Spellbinders. Their versatility makes them so unique and they have such unlimited possibilities. Using just the decorative insert pieces from a few of the sets I whipped this card together (Ha! I can say whipped because most of the work was already done, I had used the strips on a layout for CHA and then had to change some things and these were left sitting on my desk. What better to do with them than turn them into a card?!) Remember I did not use the edger piece on these, just the decorative inserts.

Clear Scraps card

Today I have a Clear Scraps project to share with you. I started with the Restoration line from Crate Paper and the Clear Scraps Decorative Frames. Using one of the decorative frames, I trimmed off two of the ends and used these ends as a way to draw your eye to the focal point of the card. Using Timber Brown Stazon ink I stamped a flourish at the point of each the Clear Scrap pieces and lightly inked around the edges with the same ink.

Thanks for stopping by. We finally have a little sun, so hopefully we'll get some baseball in this week!

A Million Memories Blog Hop

Welcome to the A Million Memories blog hop! The hop starts today, Friday July 2 and runs through Sunday July 4. Each blog will be showcasing a different project inspired by summer and all of it's glory! Hop through each blog to check out the instructions for creating each project, then choose a project to re-create. Post your project in the AMM gallery and in this thread. You will have until Friday July 9th at midnight to post your project to be eligible to win the Echo Park Collection Pack. More than one project created earns you another chance in the random drawing. Please be sure that projects are created especially for this contest. Good luck!

For my tutorial I will be giving you instructions on how to make these loopy 3 dimensional flowers.

Step 1) Cut 5 strips of double sided paper that measure 1/4"x 5".

(these are all the same paper, I am just showing the two sides)

Step 2) Make a loop and bring the ends almost together, leaving a little tag on one of the ends that can be folded over.

Step 3) Glue the both ends down and continue to do the same to the four remaining pieces. 

Step 4) Adhere all five pieces to a piece of coordinating paper.

Step 5) Trim all 5 petals out.

Step 6) Arrange on card or layout to make a flower. My plan was originally to make a full flower, however 5 petals just wasn't enough and looked too sparse. So, I opted to make a flower "bud".

In other words, you'll need more petals for a full in bloom circular flower...I would suggest 9-10.

Just a note, all papers and the sentiment sticker that were used on this card are from the collection pack you could be eligible to win if you participate. Thank you to Echo Park. Love this new company!
