My Little Paper World

Today I am sharing a card using Unity Itty Bitty - Captured My Heart (Artist Lisa Arana) . These cards were made for their current Unity Challenge which can be viewed here  - Unity [Show & Tell] . I really like this image - so much so...that I decided that I would create a few cards with it. I got a little carried away with the stamp and my MISTI tool. It can be quite difficult to decide when to stop! My first card (below) was originally a line...I then added another line, and then another line and then decided I had to create a background of camera images. I decided to paper piece one camera on each card. I generally don't like fussy cutting (love dies!) but I made an exception for this card, and it wasn't too difficult to cut a few straight lines! :)  Its also a technique I haven't tried in a long time - most likely because I don't like cutting images out... but glad I did as the card came together really nicely. I used pink card and the patterned paper ...

I'm big on repetitive stamping at the moment! Take a image, stamp it (either randomly or with some sort of order), colour it in (or in this case colour some of it in!) and assemble a card...  This card uses Unity Stamp - Tea Love . I went around each image with prismacolor pencils and used washi tape, enamel dots and My Little Paper World Corner dies to give it a little more interest!  I really like how bold and bright this card turned out and... I was able to use some left over card stock - I've been clearing out a few craft items and didn't want to waste those cut off bits that I'm sure we all collect!  Entered into SSS - Anything Goes Thanks for stopping by and don't forget I'm hosting a creative challenge - open to all!

Don't you love it when a card just creates itself? I do! This card came together so easily, that I made a few to add to my card stash collection! I used My Little Paper World Rectangle Nesting Dies - TRIBAL, washi tape, some gold card, sequins, glitter and of course my latest purchased stamp from Unity - Vintage - Older Than Me.

The other day I wanted to try an idea with a stamp set I've had for awhile. I thought I'd take a few quick photos to share my process. Nothing fancy, certainly a technique that many card makers have used but a fun one that can be used in so many different ways! The art of Masking... I first cut a piece of white card (Canson) slightly larger than my 4.25"x 5.5"  rectangle die ( MLPW rectangle nesting dies -TRIBAL ). I marked where the die would cut so I could work out where to stamp the images. Using Unity 'under the sea'  stamp set I stamped the jelly fish 5 times in a row.   I used post-it notes to mask off the jelly fish faces.  Once the faces were masked, I used painters tape to mask off another area.  TIP: I also added an extra row to the top to cover all the white, as I didn't want to get any ink on this area.  I chose three distress ink colours - Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid lagoon, and Salty Ocean.  Then using a b...

Awhile ago I ordered my first MFT card kit - of which I haven't had the chance to play with...yet! But in this order I added a stamp set that I've wanted since it's release and this week had a chance to play with it as well as my TomBow markers!  I wanted to make a CAS card - really nothing too fancy, I just wanted to make these birds as vibrant as I could... So I used most of the colors from MFT color challenge and created this card. I first die cut MLPW Rectangle Nesting TRIBAL die using watercolour paper, stamped the sentiment then added the birds. I didn't use water (as TomBow markers can be water colour) but instead used the blending marker to blend the colours together. I was quite pleased with the brightness of the markers and the ease in using them.  The stamp from MFT is called Tweet Friends .  Thanks for stopping by and don't forget I'm hosting a creative challenge - open to all!

Had another play last night with Unity Sketch challenge and came up with this card!  A pretty simple card really. Used M.L.P.W Rectangle and Square nesting dies - TRIBAL to die-cut some paper, stamped Unity's (Bee)cause I care Stamp of the Week a few times, coloured with Prismacolor pencils and its done!  I also added Wink of Stella - clear to the bees wings which you can see a little better in the photo below.
