Day 5 GIU Girl for Unity Stamps + Giveaway

Today is my last day as the Growing in Unity Girl for the Unity Stamp Company and I have had so much fun creating holiday and seasonal projects all week long.  I leave you with this wintry card that features the "Like a Snowflake", sentiment kit.

There are so many lovely winter quotes and delicate snowflakes in this kit.

I opted to put the spotlight on the heat embossed sentiment only and create a winter storm with Ranger Ink distress ink background and paint splatters, courtesy of my white DecoArt satin paint.  I also use a wet toothbrush dipped in the white paint to "spray" my watercolor paper, then tap in paint with a paintbrush and use random swipes with a dry paint brush.

A little glitter ribbon and papers from the Echo Park Paper Hello Winter collection finish this off, along with that pretty lace ribbon focal point, embellished with a snowflake button and silver tassel.

I've certainly enjoyed this week and I hope you have too.  Don't forget to leave comments on my blog each day this week to be entered to win one of two grab bags filled with 25 random Unity Stamps.  Thanks so much to Angela, Whitney and the whole crew for making me feel welcome this week!  I'll announce winners some time next week, so check back.

Christmas Angel tag for Unity Stamps + Prize

This is one of two projects that I'm sharing today.  (If you're looking for my project with Graciellie Design, go here.)  It's day 3 of my feature with the Unity Stamp Company as their Growing in Unity Girl.  Today, I've made a glittery vintage Christmas tag, featuring the Susan Weckesser stamp set, "World of Christmas".

My stamp was inked with Ranger Ink Distress Oxide in Vintage Photo, on a trimmed piece of Heartfelt Creations designer paper from the Every Day Heroes collection.  The paper design and colors went well with the vintage look that I was going for.  

I've fashioned some wings for this sweet angel, out of a medium sized white ribbon rosette, trimmed in half, then cut some half moon shaped strips from May Arts Ribbon sheer glitter ribbon and stapled them over the partial stamped wing image.  Her little halo is a tiny strip of tinsel string adhered with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L extreme tape.  I've also embossed some gold stickles glitter glue and Platinum Pearl liquid pearls with a dot stencil.   I quickly dried them with my heat emboss tool to speed things along.

Behind my tag, I have an extra layer with gold satin ribbon peeking out, along with gold mesh ribbon.  The topper on my tag was achieved by using some Sizzix dies.  Did I mention I tinted her eyes, just a touch?  I used the fine tip of a teal Marvy Le Plume II brush marker.

I intended to add a sentiment but, guess what?  I forgot!  I was so happy with this little angel, I couldn't wait to take her picture.  I think she looks just fine without a sentiment though.

Be sure and leave a comment on my blog post each day this week, to be entered to win one of two grab bags of 25 stamps from Unity.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

I know, I know, it's the middle of summer.  What can I say?  I love Fall.  Plus, I just couldn't wait to break in the new Hello Fall paper collection from Carta Bella Paper.   And, isn't that Pumpkin Spice stamp from Unity Stamps just totally awesome?  I pretty much just want to eat the whole thing.

Today marks the "Official" release of the brand new, first ever, dual Christmas release of  the DoubleClick Skittles embellishment line.  The design team is showcasing a couple projects of each release, Holiday Traditions and Frosty Kisses.  They were unofficially released last week and have already almost sold out, so if you want some, don't wait!

My first project features the Holiday Tradition 2015 release,

You can purchase both of the new releases right here:

DoubleClick Skittles Dual Christmas Release

This card is full of traditional Christmas colors and the Holiday Tradition Skittles go perfectly, don't you think?

Each of the new colors are Sparkle colors, which means they have touches of glitter.  My Skittles are paired nicely on this card with Adornit Art Play Paintables, May Arts Ribbon and DCWV cardstock.

My next project features the Frosty Kisses 2015 release:

Frosty Pink

Frosty Blue

Frosty

The Frosty Kisses release is pale in color and also sparkles and is ever so yummy!

Now, I don't know what got into me, but I had myself convinced that the mama bird needed a baby to keep her company.  So I made baby bird a cozy little nest......haha.  Yes, I did.

I like to use clear glue to adhere my Skittles but adhesive dots work also.

The new Holiday colors for the 2015 year!!
