ATU02 Challenge

All Things Unity is a new blog and challenge spot for lovers of Unity Stamps. This card is for their second challenge about going green. You can use green colors, recycle something in your card or use scraps. I did all three in one card! The corrugated cardboard strip and "Caution Darn Hot Coffee" sentiment are from a used restaurant coffee sleeve and I used up some paper scraps too. Check out their blog at:

Happy Easter

For this fun Easter card I used the emboss resist technique to make the dyed egg, then decorated it with various trims.

Card Patterns Weekly Sketch 57

Just a fun and simple Back To School Card.

Posh Designs Scrapbook Store Sketch Challenge No. 11

For this sketch challenge I made my own strip of "Crazy Quilt" paper. I laid down scraps of paper onto double sided adhesive leaving space between for glittery embossing powder. After heat embossing simply peel off the backing and adhere to card. Now it is hard to throw out even the smallest of scraps!

Cuttlebug Challenge Easter Card

I used the Cuttlebug to dry emboss the card and cut the egg and labels using Nestabilities. I dyed the Easter Egg paper using the shaving cream technique, which is so fun to do. Hope you like it!

A Muse Lounge Challenge

This card was inspired by one of Julie Ebersole's Creations that I saw on Split Coast Stampers. Hers was done in tones of red/pink. I did mine in the colors of my husband's favorite Coffee Shop, can you guess the name????

Here's another entry for the "Sunshiney" Challenge on www.allthingsunity.blogspot.com. Although there is no sun on the card I think it has a sunny, Spring feeling to it. Love those fun Unity Stamps!

Here's my entry for the "Sunshiney" Card Challenge on www.allthingsunity.blogspot.com. I love Unity Stamps, they have such cute designs and have a great Kit of the Month Program, check it out at www.unitystampco.com.

I love this new cling stamp from Hero Arts, one of my favorite stamp companies. Instead of ink, I used Ranger's Acrylic Paint Dauber in an aqua color called Pool. I then used Stickles for the flower centers. The pattern paper is from K and Company and the sentiment stamp is from Unity. This was my first try using acrylic paint insteaad of ink and I like the result. The paint cleans off the stamp with water, no problem!

Cardvarks Wedding Card Challenge #2

For this wedding card I used my Cricut with Sweethearts cartridge to cut the wedding cake and cake plate. I used glitter to decorate the icing and the Cuddlebug Swirls embossing folder to texturize the aqua cardstock. Under the aqua cardstock I mounted a piece of velum that is embossed with the Cuddlebug Swiss Dots folder. Inside I added a velum insert for my stamped sentiment. Stamped images are from Inkadinkadoo's Wedding set. Aqua ribbon from Hobby Lobby finishes it all off.

Cardvarks Wedding Card Challenge

I made this tri-fold card for a challenge. I used my Cricut to cut the wedding cake and cake plate. I decorated the cake with Martha Stewart border stickers and flowers cut from a wedding flower pick. I used the Cuddlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder and a Martha Stewart edge punch to deocrate the light aqua cardstock. I made space inside for cash, a check, savings bond or gift card. The congratulations stamp is from Inkadinkadoo's Wedding set. Leave a comment and let me know what you think. Thanks!
