Hello everyone, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I am playing along with the <a href="https://altenewblog.com/may-2020-inspiration-challenge/" target="_blank">Altenew Inspiration Challenge.</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose to use the Altenew Paint A Flower Hydrangea I got as part of the Paint A Flower subscription. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hydrangea are just one of my favorite flowers and thought it would be the perfect image to color white using the photo as inspiration. </div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added some blue splatter and finished with just a touch of yellow in the centers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Twine added just a bit of a natural element to complete my card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello everyone, Thanks for joining me fro the Growing In Unity Blog Hop. Be sure to visit all the Lins listed below and look for the Growing In Unity post, then just leave a comment for a chance to win one of 2 awesome Unity Prize packs!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was asked to join the hop I was told just to use a Unity Stamp You love. It's certainly easy to find lots to love at Unity Stamp Company. I actually won this stamp set during the Friends Of Unity blog hop and couldn't wait to ink it up. </div>

Hello everyone, I'm excited to be coming to you today with this weeks CAS challenge. I was playing with a new stamp set and trying to come up with ways to use it without using dies and to keep it CAS. I came up with the idea to use shades of grey. Your challenge ,if you chose to accept it, is to use all grey on your card. I started with Stamping on a very light grey card stock with Momento Black Ink. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To color I just highlighted the areas that were already shown as highlight on the image with the darkest grey, Copic C5. Then finished with outlining in C3 and blending the remainder of the image with C1. It's a super quick way to color and I think it's looks very elegant. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped the sentiment from the same set, Sketchbook Roses from The Greetery. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the wonky stitched frame die from MFT to cut the panel. I use this die so much, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's definitely a favorite. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added the panel to a dark grey base and finished with grey pearls. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hey my cheery cherry friends! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you have a favorite pie? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This post is really nothing about pies, other than that my favorite is cherry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I made a cherry themed card today for the A Cherry On Top February card challenge. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went vintage and pulled out a kit from 2011 from JBSMerchantile. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was so happy I found it because this months bonus is cherries, I just knew I had to have some pretty cherry paper. Not only did the kit have paper but it also had a stamp that had never seen ink! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by cutting the panels out according to the sketch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I used the reverse side of the paper to stamp using the stamp. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGHtiUzl4BndASzqMNb0KTkdpze4XfUYcB9JsnVfoNKETrXhmAME0nMCQLjbzEX4c4OKGvp1glKdk7ytaBM-KlaqD9figlMbBb4SQ0W0cLC82RqMeqwMjMg6K4KnLK2cf21aVGVL_lk0k/s1600/fullsizeoutput_14d6.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1306" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGHtiUzl4BndASzqMNb0KTkdpze4XfUYcB9JsnVfoNKETrXhmAME0nMCQLjbzEX4c4OKGvp1glKdk7ytaBM-KlaqD9figlMbBb4SQ0W0cLC82RqMeqwMjMg6K4KnLK2cf21aVGVL_lk0k/s320/fullsizeoutput_14d6.jpeg" width="261" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added tiny stickers from the kit for the sentiment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_eWhxCz-wcBVEsqvf3eE90IJZxwkgti2JwG9NB7ME1WzUH-nOMkLReUFuGkDwu0V2lKdNJ7lzq_nk8qOFnu_KKkApEEWVajzHIPEJPfLSIsl0XH6HT4a8s5BD77XB_bDWJGzjGuvVZyw/s1600/gj4Wcz4sQT2xBfyA69PsAA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_eWhxCz-wcBVEsqvf3eE90IJZxwkgti2JwG9NB7ME1WzUH-nOMkLReUFuGkDwu0V2lKdNJ7lzq_nk8qOFnu_KKkApEEWVajzHIPEJPfLSIsl0XH6HT4a8s5BD77XB_bDWJGzjGuvVZyw/s320/gj4Wcz4sQT2xBfyA69PsAA.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then adhered the panels to a piece of cardstock from the same kit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then added the finishing embellishments of twine, a vintage button and a Webster's pages resin bird. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week Misti challenge us to use something that leaps. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am using a frog, but it would be awesome if someone make a leap year birthday card. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by stamping this card front using my Misti. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then stamped the same image on masking paper and fussy cut this cute little frog out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once I had t6he mask I used an echo park stencil and impression obsession ink to stencil the background. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut the card from using the MFT wonky stitch die. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use this die so much. I am pretty sure it's my most used die of 2019.</div>

Happy Friday Y'all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made this card for the Creative Card Chicks group on SCS. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by coloring the image with copic markers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I added some black watercolor sprays to add a vintage look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few enamel dots finished the image panel. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The paper is Stampin up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card base and mat are Kraft. </div>

The dies are from The Greetery. </div>

And that is my project for the day. </div>

Hey Friend Like Gnome Other!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm up at the CAS challenge this week at Splitcoast Stampers and thought this cute little Gnome image reminded me of spring. I desperately am looking forward to warmer weather. I am a water lover and can't wait to take my first swim on the year. In the mean time I'll be like this Gnome and simple soak up the sun on the days that I can. </div>

I stamped this adorable image using my Misti using Momento ink. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily I was using the Misti because I missed some area right around his beard. The Misti made it super easy to fix that. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This weeks CAS challenge at SCS is chocolate! My favorite. Well, candy in general really but I can do some damage on some good chocolate! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started this card by stamping the Unity Stamp Sweeter than Chocolate stamp and coloring with copic markers. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then decided to try to use <a href="https://www.acherryontop.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=266828" target="_blank">the sketch at ACOT</a>, but changed it up just a bit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I liked my colored panel a little lower. </div>

I started by first cutting a circle in white card stock and stamped the image with Momento ink. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then colored the image with copic markers. </div>

I adhered the 1.5 inch patterned paper from the SSS kit to a piece of cream card stock. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then trimmed to 4x5.25".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut the circle the same size as the circle for the stamped image. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added the sentiment, tied some twine in place, then adhered the layers together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finished the card by adding a flower from the SSS Kit. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Super Bowl everyone! I hope your team wins! I'll be in my craft room and enjoying the festivities food. Eating all the things I don't normally eat. Any favorite foods you enjoy for parties? We are just having Jersey Mikes hoagies, because they are most like east coast hoagies we can find here in North TX. Chocolate Chip cookies, buffalo chicken dip, Nothing Bundt Cakes and cheese curls. The best part is I didn't have to do a thing because my daughter invited friends so is making everything! Yay! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made today's card for the CAS challenge at SCS. The challenge is to use die cuts. Of course my die cut machine died right when we have a die cut challenge. Luckily I have a pile of die cuts just waiting to be used. </div>

My scrapbooking group lost one of our beautiful ladies this week. So I made this card to send to to one of my friends. She has been best friends with her their entire life. She was a beautiful soul and I was lucky enough to know her for the past 10 years or so. We even went to CKC together several times. She will be missed by us all. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been playing along with some challenges at A Cherry On Top and Splitcoast Stampers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with <a href="https://www.acherryontop.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=266650" target="_blank">THIS SKETCH AT ACOT</a> and <a href="https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/card-sketches-f41/sketch-challenge-786-%7B01-29-2020%7D-t632177.html" target="_blank">THIS ONE AT SCS</a>, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they are very similar and a great place to start.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a cut file with the silhouette for this set in an effort to start using the tools I have on hand. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a pretty easy process, just take a few minutes to scan the initial stamped image. I had my first image already colored which helps me to find them when I go to use it again in the Silhouette files. </div>

Hello, Hope you're having a great day. It wasn't an easy start for me. I'm not used to city living and every single noise wakes me up, then I can't fall back to sleep. It's a struggle. And this morning my neighbors directly behind me started a new patio. The banging and power tools started early. So I got up and went to yoga, but honestly I felt like I was ready for bed at 6:30! So playing in the craft room to stay up a bit longer. lol.</div>

I colored this adorable Penny Black image and made my first Valentine card for this year. I love coloring this cute little fairy outfit. And I think the colors just pop against the Valentine papers. </div>

After layering up the papers I finished the card by adding some ribbon and a little die cut heart. I stayed pretty true to the sketch and I think it turned out awesome! And I was concerned because the coloring of my black hair ran a bit and I wasn't so sure I should finish, but I did and I think it turned out great. </div>

Hey, hey stampers! Hope your doing well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had an awesome start to my Sunday. Ever have one of those classes that kick your booty, but makes you feel so accomplished after? Well, that was my day. I started with an intense Warrior Sculpt class. If your not familiar it a high intensity work out combining weights and yoga moves. You are moving the entire class with weights in your hands. Even with tiny weights it's a workout! Then I did surrender yoga, this is the AHHHHHHH! type class. It's a more mat based yoga class where you get into a pose and hold it a while. It's just a great stretch to follow the intense class. ThenI finished with a meditation class. Which, I honestly don't remember because I'm pretty sure I slept through it. lol. It as awesome and I felt so good after. Then a nice new hair trim to finish the afternoon. Now I'm just relaxing in my stamp room. And get to talk to all my stamping friends :) </div>

Happy Tuesday! Today I am playing along with the Unity Show and Tell Face Book group challenge. <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This challenge is all about creating cards for NEW BEGINNINGS-- could be new baby, wedding, new job-- etc.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px;">I used the stamp set </span><a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/feather-flight/" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" target="_blank">Feather Flight</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px;">. I started by stamping a background (OK, I can't remember what the background is and I didn't label it) using my Misti. Then I used the ink I stamped the feathers with like water color and splattered the background. I stamped the feathers and sentiment then fussy cut the feather. I inked the edges of the sentiment with the same blue ink. </span></div>

I use my Misti for everything. Can't you tell it's well loved!? I stamped the floral spray then masked it off, then stamped the heart, using my Misti of course! </div>

Have you seen the <a href="http://casethissketch.blogspot.com/2020/01/case-this-sketch-355.html" target="_blank">Misti Monday challenge on SCS</a>? It is amazing! And the prizes are awesome! I hope to win so I can order the brand new improved Misti. I use my original all the time, so I'm super excited to see what the Misti folks have done to improve it. This months challenge is to use the Pantone 2020 color of the year, Classic Blue. </div>

Hello everyone, thanks for joining me this week as I explored my Unity stamps and made some pretty fantastic cards if I do say so myself. Today I have 2 cards for you. First a warm and cozy card to send cheer to a dear friend. This is another one of my favorite Unity stamps, I could definitely cuddle into a warm sweater today. </div>

I started this card by coloring the image then fussy cutting it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with it so I pulled out some water colors and attempted to make a background, but none of my water colors matched. So I scrapped that idea and went to my inks for a similar shade and ended up using a stencil to make a subtle background. </div>

Day 4, what a week it has been! So hard to pick what images from Unity to use, honestly if I had time I would love to do a year of Unity and make a card a week. Maybe after my beautiful daughter is wed and moved on to begin her new family. I first saw this image from a swap I participated in on Splitcoast Stampers and I just had to have it. I love poppies, although I have never lived where I could grow them. And I never knew they came in so many colors until I googled them for inspiration to color this image. </div>

Someone asked how I mail my cards so I thought I would share a few tips I have learned over the years. First if the card is just a bit bumpy I just used an extra sheet of card stock and place it on top of the card in the envelope. </div>

If the card is a bit too thick for just a sheet of card stock I use a piece of bubble wrap and a slightly larger envelope. I place an extra 20 cent stamp on it and write on it in red to hand sort. I've never had an issue with mailing cards this way. </div>

Todays card is a CAS card with one of my favorite embellishments, ribbon. I still love ribbon and buttons. This is a super sweet little Charlie Brown Christmas tree stamp that I just love. It is super quick to stamp and color and makes not only perfect cards but tags as well. </div>

Welcome! This is my first day post for my Growing in Unity week. When I started making my cards for this week it was right before Christmas so you'll have to bare with a few more holiday cards. I was really bad with holiday cards for this year and didn't mail any so I thought this year I'm going to make a holiday card a week so I'm all ready to go next year. Do you make your holiday cards early or do wait until the last minute? I"ll invite you to join me in making a card or tag a week, I would love to see them. </div>
