Unity KOTM cards

I had stamped the images awhile ago and finally found the time to make a few cards out of the images.

Card #1: I used the July KOTM for this card. I pulled in some of the colors of the paper to color the cups, added the yarn, and a few sequins to finish it off.

The rest of the cards are using the August KOTM.

Card #2: I stamped the sunflowers in the corner of the cardstock, colored and cut out with the stitched dies. A few wraps of jute, sequins and the "thinking of you" label pop up on the woodgrain paper.

Card #3: I saw this card on the Unity Stamp Co blog's and had to recreate it. I messed up stamping (it came out crooked) so I re-stamped on a separate panel and cut it out. I tied thread around the leaf stem to bring in a little bit more of the coral color.

Card #4: I stamped, embossed, and colored in the flowers. I then cut away part of the side panel, stamped my sentiment on the coral cardstock and used fun foam behind the flowers.

I had to send this card and I stamped and embossed on the envelop with the same image.

Card #5: I used gray cardstock for this one, stamped and embossed then colored in with color pencils.

 

Card #6: My last card I used the poppy flower again, stamped and embossed onto kraft cardstock and colored in with colored pencils. I'm liking the colored pencils on the colored cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by.

Thinking of You

This week over at the Card A Day Blog we are making Thinking of You card. I have several scraps of pattern paper in my May Counterfeit Kit and decided to use the frames from American Crafts Metropolitan paper pack.  I've paired it with a piece of dark pink DCWV cardstock that is embossed with the Honeycomb embossing folder.

I then added a piece of ribbon and lace over the seam.  The flowers are colored and die cut with the Ornate Label #3, matted onto tan card stock and layered onto the card with pop up dots.

I've added a couple of silk flowers that are from a hydrangea and a little bit of string pearls behind the image.

Thanks for stopping by.

Thinking of You

This week's theme at Card A Day Blog is "Thinking of You". Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out today's card. I have all of the cutting instruction at the bottom of this post.

 

I used markers to color my stamp, then stamped on and off my white mat, varying the height of the stamp. This is then layered onto an orange piece of card stock.   The butterfly is stamped on white cards stock, colored, cut out and all the edges are inked.  I thought the butterfly need a little something so I used a little bit of stickles, on just the wing, to make it stand out after the card was all put together.   

 

 

For my embossing layer I started out by cutting my turquoise paper to fit inside the embossing folder. After it was embossed I trimmed around the outside edges leaving the embossed frame. I wanted a little bit of the kraft card stock front showing on my card. 



I layered the orange and white card stock with another flower stamped on the edge for the inside of the card.   I inked all of my edges with distress ink.

Thinking of You

This is a fairly quick card to put together and the best part is that I made it out of scraps.   My card base is 4 1/2 x 11, scored at 5 1/2.  The light blue cardstock is cut to 4 x 5 1/4 and the newsprint is 3 3/4 x 5, the newsprint is stamped with the Doily Background stamp.  I punched two pieces of off white cardstock with the Lace Ribbon Punch and inked the edges with vintage photo.



I used the oval Designer frame and embossed the green cardstock then tore around the edges, stamped the butterfly with the melon mambo and placed it in the center of the oval.  Thinking of you is stamped on more off white cardstock stock and mounted onto tan cardstock.  After I had my placement down I threaded a piece of embroidery floss through the Lace Ribbon and tied a button onto it.

Thanks so much for stopping by looking at my card.  Don't forget to enter the challenge and stop back to see Tina's start of the new theme Easter.
