Itty Bitty Stamp - Not so, Itty Bitty Card...

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 is from Crate - Hello Love (6"x6" paper pad). I used My Little Paper World (MLPW) Rectangle nesting dies as well as MLPW Circle nesting dies.

I really enjoyed how this card turned out (below). I loved the sentiment that comes with this stamp. You've Captured my Heart! So I thought I'd go crazy and stamp rows of it - the MISTI tool really helped, along with a few pencil drawn lines! I also love seeing the die cut effect especially the circle ones!

I finished each card with some Studio Calico Wood Veneer Hearts (which I brushed with Clear - Wink of Stella) and some neutral twine.

    Oh Samantha, all 3 of those cards are very nice, but I have fallen in love with the card you entered in the CYCI challenge. I love the sentiment stamped multiple times in the background! So cute!

Growing in Unity: Day 1

Image
Yippee!! After waiting 11 months, 10 days, it's finally my week to share my Unity cards. 5 whole days of inspiration is coming your way...oh! and lets not forget the sponsored giveaway by Unity at the end of my week - a grab bag with 25 random stamps! My first card I decided to use one of my favourite sets - I actually combined two (no, three!) Unity sets that really go well together. How do you use your Unity stamps? Would you mix and match them? When I first starting stamping (15 years ago) the thought of mixing sets would make me cringe - but now... no problems! I think it's a great way to make the most of your stamp collection. Here are my cards using Unity: Tumbleweed Houses , On My Way and Gypsy Journal (sentiment only) I coloured the images using a few of my ZIG brush pens and cut them out with my silhouette (for those who are visiting me for the first time - I try to avoid fussy cutting!) I added a few sewing machine details and adhered the hous...

A Spring Inspired Card...

Image
This week (or should I say the last few weeks) have been super crazy busy! We got good news, my Hubby renewed his work contract with the option to move back home to Adelaide (which of course we jumped at!) So...we are now packing our belongings in to boxes and the worst room is...come on! have a guess! :) Yup!! My craft room... But its mostly packed up, with the exception of a few stamps, paper packs, a handful of embellishments and my copic markers.  Last week, in between all the craft room packing (I got distracted a few times!) I created this card, its from Unity's ...bunches of love stamps. I decided to make a few, I hate having left over paper, so I tend to create a card (generally for someone's birthday coming up) and then duplicate it so I have a stash of cards for those occasions you forget someones birthday coming up!  This was the perfect stamp set to do this! While stamping, I wished I had that misti tool Ive seen a few times now through youtube videos,...
