Growing in Unity- Day 5

 Welcome to day 5 of my stint as the GIU (Growing in Unity) girl.  I'm showing you my creations all week long and if you comment every day on my blog post, you'll be entered into a random drawing for 25 random stamps from the Unity Stamp Company.  Wowza, 25 stamps!  

Who wouldn't love that?!  2 winners will be selected.

For this creation, I stepped out of my comfort zone a bit.  Working with mixed media pastes is not my thing.  I decided to do some water coloring and used some glitter paste for the first time.  The stamp set used here, is from the Layers of Life May 2014 kit, "Never lose their Beauty".

 

I started out doing some water coloring with distress ink, first stamping my image on water color paper, then adding additional color.  I also used the Unity background stamp, "Tattered Chicken Wire".



Having zero experience working with paste, I found this video from the Scrapbook Expo and Bo Bunny, maker of the paste I'm using today, Copper Glitter Paste.  This technique worked great!  I used a Mod Podge Peel and Stick stencil with the paste.

Here's a close-up of the Unity sentiment. 
I also added some Bo Bunny pearlescent to my mixed media project and clear Wink Of Stella glitter brush on my flowers and sentiment.  Lastly, I made a burlap string butterfly from May Arts Ribbon string.  I love how this turned out.  I'll definitely be doing more of these type projects in the future.

 Thanks so much for letting me share my love of Unity Stamps with you this week.  Don't forget to leave a comment here so you can qualify for the random drawing.  And for a shameless plug, I'd love if you would come and like me on FB: http://www.facebook.com/wavingmywand because when I get to 500 likes, I'm having a big giveaway!

Growing in Unity - Day 4

Welcome to day 4 of my stint as the GIU (Growing in Unity) girl.  I'm showing you my creations all week long and if you comment every day on my blog post, you'll be entered into a random drawing for 25 random stamps from the Unity Stamp Company.  Wowza, 25 stamps!  

Who wouldn't love that?!  2 winners will be selected.

I made this for a gentleman who sings in our church choir, and is just retiring from his job after 30 years.  He's an avid hunter/fisherman, so I used a piece of WRMK designer paper that has this stag on it.  The stamp set I'm using today is called, "Sing a New Song".  It's one of my favorites and I felt it would be the perfect set to use for this card, embracing the recipient's love of music and hunting. 

I used the sentiment and musical notes from the kit, stamping with Colorbox archival ink in Saddle.  I did a little water coloring around the sentiment as well.

For the inside of the card, I used a sentiment from the "Everything More" sentiment kit.  This kit is a staple and has a perfect sentiment for just about any occasion.  I inked up the edges of the musical note paper with the same ink.

Come back tomorrow for more Unity inspiration! Don't forget to leave a comment here so you can qualify for the random drawing.  And for a shameless plug, I'd love if you would come and like me on FB: http://www.facebook.com/wavingmywand because when I get to 500 likes, I'm having a big giveaway!

Growing In Unity - Day 3

Welcome to day 3 of my stint as the GIU (Growing in Unity) girl.  I'm showing you my creations all week long and if you comment every day on my blog post, you'll be entered into a random drawing for 25 random stamps from the Unity Stamp Company.  Wowza, 25 stamps!  

Who wouldn't love that?!  2 winners will be selected.

Today's mixed media project is titled "Grunge Love".  Love is kind of messy, right?  And, with Valentine's Day right around the corner, I thought I'd get all mushy, uh, I mean messy.  ;)

I did a whole lot of distressing to this stamped/hand-cut Unity heart  (Everything Love Jan 2014 sentiment kit) including embossing the card stock with my Cuttlebug and using Ranger embossing powder in black and white.  I sanded the raised edges a bit and then had a happy little accident with ink on my knuckle.  Haha, so I decided to add a couple more inked "knuckle" dots to my design.  The Love You sentiment is also from the same kit.

Here's a close-up of the finished heart.  Notice the inked doily?  I used my Unity Grainy background stamp, dabbed Tim Holtz Picket Fence distress ink all over my stamp, and stamped in a criss-cross pattern on a Maya Road kraft doily.  I dried it quick, with my embossing heat tool.

Come back tomorrow for more Unity inspiration! Don't forget to leave a comment here so you can qualify for the random drawing.  And for a shameless plug, I'd love if you would come and like me on FB: http://www.facebook.com/wavingmywand because when I get to 500 likes, I'm having a big giveaway!

Growing in Unity - Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of my stint as the GIU (Growing in Unity) girl.  I'm showing you my creations all week long and if you comment every day on my blog post, you'll be entered into a random drawing for 25 random stamps from the Unity Stamp Company.  Wowza, 25 stamps!  

Who wouldn't love that?!  2 winners will be selected.

This sweet card was built around one of my favorite Unity Sentiments by the lovely artist, Phyllis Harris.  The set is called "Before I Met You Tiny Dancer".   I actually received it in a grab bag....so see?  Those random stamps are pretty cool.   You'll see several projects from me this week with Love as the theme.  This card could be used romantically for Valentine's Day, a romantic celebration, or even a baby shower.

I wanted to build a beautiful backdrop and have you zero in on the sentiment, so I started by cutting a lace heart, just under 6" with my Cricut Explore.  If you don't have a die-cutting machine, use a large pink heart shaped doily as a nice substitute.  Next, I cut a smaller heart on white chevron cardstock and used my blending tool to blend in some Colorbox ink around the edges.

The lace heart and sentiment are the shining star to the floral backdrop from Graphic 45.  I embellished the heart with Pretty Pink Posh sequins glued with Stickles Firefly glitter glue and a silk May Arts Ribbon bow finishes everything, with a purple rhinestone.  I left the inside blank as this card could be used for a number of occasions.

Come back tomorrow for more Unity inspiration! Don't forget to leave a comment here so you can qualify for the random drawing.  And for a shameless plug, I'd love if you would come and like me on FB: http://www.facebook.com/wavingmywand because when I get to 500 likes, I'm having a big giveaway!

Growing in Unity - Day 1

Welcome to day 1 of my stint as the GIU (Growing in Unity) girl.  I'm showing you my creations all week long and if you comment every day on my blog post, you'll be entered into a random drawing for 25 random stamps from the Unity Stamp Company.  Wowza, 25 stamps!  

Who wouldn't love that?!  2 winners will be selected.

When I saw this brand new set, Mason Jar Love from Unity Stamps, I knew I had to have it. 

It was love at first sight.  My idea is to serve a fun drink to my young 'un on Valentines Day, pink lemonade, perhaps?  Although, I'm kind of partial to Italian cream sodas as well.  Notice, I made a matching coaster, too.  This fun jar can be used year round. 

I used mason jar lids that have open slots for straws, then cut the lid and vinyl heart with my Cricut Explore.  I set the dimensions for the lid at 2.75", the same as the heart stamp dimensions.  The hole in the center was also cut with the Explore, but you could use a hole punch such as a Crop-A-Dile to extend out to punch the center.  I used just a couple swipes of a non-permanent adhesive runner to hold the cardstock topper in place and wrapped the pretty tag with twine around the straw.   I've got so many great ideas for using this set!

Sizzix Love Cup Shaker Treat Box

 Here's a sweet little love treat box, perfect for Valentine's Day.  This was made using the Sizzix Mug and Spoon die, created by Eileen Hull.   There are so many ways you can use this die; I love the possibilities.  I augmented the cut die by trimming off the mug handle and adding a carrying handle at the top.  My husband said this would be good to fill with Godiva truffles. 

I like the way he thinks!  In fact, here you go honey....fill 'er up!

Water color painting and Art Play, so easy!

 I've been playing aound with my ADORNit Art Play Paintables.  I love this art piece, created by artist Lindsay Ostrom, "Let Your Faith Be Bigger Than Your Fear".

This is the original art that I started with.  It's from the "Home" collection and you can purchase it here:  Adornit "Home" Art Play Paintables 

I can promise you that once you take a look around and see how unbelievably inexpensive these Art Play Paintables are, you are going to want the entire collection!

If you've always wanted to learn water coloring, here is the super easy technique I occasionally use.

 Use watercolor pens, distress markers or archival ink dye pad.  For this project, I used Tombow Dual Brush pens from the Bright Collection.

1.   Blot ink onto an acrylic block or swipe your pens/markers across the block a few times.

2.  Dab a small paintbrush in water and dab onto your inked acrylic block.

3.  Paint and repeat, adding additional water to thin out your colors as desired.

That's it!  Super easy.  The flourish and stars were cut with my Cricut Explore™.  Photo editing done with PicMonkey: crazy-awesome photo editing .  Check out my supply list below.  "Like" me on Facebook because when I get to 500 likes, I'm having a big giveaway!

Ok, Cricut. My mind is blown.

Let me start by saying, I did a lot of research before deciding on whether I would go Team Cricut or Team Silhouette.  I even considered a few other devices.  However, after much deliberation, I went with Team Cricut, in particular, the Cricut Explore.

I have read and heard a lot of comments about changes in the company, how customer service was really ramped up, etc.  I did not expect to have an experience with customer service before I even plugged up my unit.  Here's what happened....

Like a kid waiting for Christmas day, that is exactly how I felt waiting on my Explore to arrive.  It came the day before my birthday this month.  Bonus!  I opened up my box, inspected everything and discovered the mat was bent in half.  A pretty definite crease that I wasn't sure I could work with.  So I went to a favorite site devoted to all things Cricut on Facebook.  The girls gave me some tips on how I could correct the crease, so I was good with that.  Before the conversation was over, a Cricut rep pops in to the group and asks me for my mailing address so she can remedy the situation and send another one pronto.  I assured her I was ok with the fix it suggestions, but no....she was sending me another. 

Remember when I said Cricut has ramped up their customer service?  I was not kidding.  The hubs told me a package had arrived from Cricut.  Well, I knew what it was so I didn't bother opening it until late in the evening.  Not only did I get a new mat, all flat and uncreased (yay!), but there was also a brand new cartridge, an extra german carbide blade (you need to know about those blades) and a thank you card.  Mind blowing, to say the least.  So thank you Cricut for going the extra mile when you didn't have to.  A little publicity goes a long way, right?  Smart thinking, Cricut!

Shutterfly 40% off everything - ends 1/21/15 (Love my pillow!)

I am so excited about the pillow I just got in the mail.  I had ordered this for my mom for her birthday and presented it to her today.  She was thrilled!  I have to say, I am so pleased with how it turned out.  Just so you know, when I loaded up this photo of my son and went through the checkout process, I got a  "low resolution" symbol on my picture that indicated the quality was not good.  I took a chance and couldn't be happier with how it turned out.  The quality looks pretty darn good to me!

Right now, through 1/21/15, everything is 40% off at Shutterfly!  Use it on a pillow!  Or, photos, or other gift items......Valentine's Day is right around the corner, Easter, Mother's Day...get a jump start with this awesome deal!

Go the extra mile on your photographed projects #PicMonkey

Can I share some words of wisdom?  Are you a crafter, cardmaker, blogger, chef, etc?  Do you post photos for the viewing pleasure of others?  I hope you're using a good photo editing site or software.  I've seen pictures shared online that I couldn't tell what was in the photo, it was so dark, blurred and so on.  If you're going to take the time to share your project with others, particularly in a public forum, take a few minutes to adjust the elements of your picture.   

Sharpen, lighten, crop...these features make all the difference.  Believe it or not, people do judge you based on your pictures.  Sad, but true.  Your photograph can be considered a reflection on you. 

You don't want it say, "hey, I'm sloppy". 

 

I'll admit the editing features on my phone stink.  I have one app that I like but even it is limited.  The absolute best FREE photo editing site I've found, is PicMonkey.  I love it! 

I use it on my desktop computer for almost everything I do.  Almost every picture that I post online has been edited in some fashion.  The features I use the most are contrast, crop and saturation (or color enhancing).  With PicMonkey, I can even take out shadows.  It's awesome!  Use the free version for awhile, and experiment.  But be prepared; you'll most likely want to upgrade for the additional features.  It's very nominal fee and you will not be disappointed.

The photos above?  The first one was edited with PicMonkey.  I sharpened the photo, added some contrast and brightened.  The second photo was taken inside a lit room, and the third photo was taken outdoors in natural lighting.  See what a difference just a few key editing features makes?  It took me under a minute to decide what features I wanted to use and implement.  This is just a basic photo shot of the inside of a card.  Imagine what you can do, and go do it!
