Friends of Unity June Masculine card hop!

 

With Fathers day just a few days away,  This challenge was perfect.   Masculine cards can be hard for a lot of us card makers, I don't know why but it is.   I went super simple with this car image.  Images like this make masculine cards super easy.  Can be used for Birthday or Fathers day!  I hope this Hop inspires you to send cards to those men in your life.

For my second card I used these moths from Junes kit of month.    Minimal colors are needed and the images are simple.   For masculine cards I tend to be more simple.

Car stamp is from set called  Good Ole Days!  I simply colored it with muted colors, the water colors are Karin markers.

The moths were colored simply with copic markers.

Thats all I have for this time.  I hope you enjoy the hop.  Please leave a comment so we know your here!

Thanks for stopping by.

May 2021 Friends of Unity Blog Hop!

This was an easy month for me, as I personally feel as if Unity has some of the very very best Floral stamps.  So, of course I went with floral for my card for today!   I was also really excited to use this NEW stamp that was released Thursday.   It was perfect to pair with a Mothers day card!

For this card I cut the shape using a Gina Marie die, I then covered the outside with purple tape, and add the yellow with a Tim Holtz stencil.   I am actually really happy with the way this turned out.  I added my flowers and colored them with copic.   Super fun card, I am loving slimline and expecially mini slim line.

April Friends of Unity Blog Hop!

Happy April, I am so happy that spring is here!   This month has been a busy one.   Unity, released this great gnome set, so I just had to use it for this months card.  

  For the background I smooshed some distress ink and oxides.   Simply stamped some little plus signs.   Then added stickle paste through a honeycomb stencil.    Super easy to do and I love to get inky.

Next on the HOP is Colleen you can visit her HERE!

 I wish you all a Happy Easter if you celebrate, Happy Spring, I'll see you next month.

March Friends Of Unity, blog hop!

Welcome to the March Friends of Unity blog hop, this month we have a sketch challenge for you.  This nice things about sketches is that they help you think a little differently when creating.   Since it's March I thought it would be fun to do a St. Patricks day card.  Lucky for me, Unity released this adorable Shenanigans  Gnome a few weeks ago.  I knew he would be perfect for this sketch

    

I hope this hop brings you inspiration!  If you would like to start at the top go visit the lovely Crystal

February Friends with Unity blog hop Paper Piercing.

Happy February friends,

 This month we have some paper piercing projects for you, It's not something I do often.  But it was fun!

   Created this card with the set Seasons of life, I really like the sentiments with this once.   I simply colored the image with copic markers, Helpful hint I learned the hard way, color before you glue down your pattern paper.  I stamped the snowflakes around the edge and blended some speckled egg distress oxide around the edge.  I then splashed some of the same colors spray on it for a little contrast.

That is it, easy card but so pretty.

Have a great weekend,

Dawn

October 2020 friends of unity blog hop!

  Happy October everyone, the most fabulous months of the year, the start of fall and for me the holiday season, not to mention it happens to be my birthday month as well.

  Today I focused on a fall themed birthday card, using fall colors.   I wish you could see the glimmer on this card.  

  I colored an angie girl with copic markers, I simply die cut the sentiment to match her shirt, the leaves were a lot of fun.    I used the new crackling fire distress spray with a little oxide brown spray and die cut.  They look so good irl.   that is really it guys super easy.  Hope you take a look at all the lovely stamps at Unity stamp co.   Remember birthday cards do not need to be all cupcakes and stuff.  It can be seasonal or really what ever you want.    Have a fabulous day.

August 2020 Friends of Unity Blog hop!

  Sympathy cards are one of the hardest cards to make.  I always try to make a few a head of time.  I find it extremely hard to make one on the spot when you know a friend or loved one is grieving.   I hope today's cards encourage you to do the same.

  This first card is pet geared, loosing a precious pet can be so very hard, letting someone know your thinking of them in this way can be very comforting.  I went with blue and red as it is for a boy dog, you can easily use pinks to make this for a girl dog.   I simply water colored the images with Karin Markers.   For the sentiment I just water colored the edge so that my blue would match.  Added some hearts and Blue splatters and your done.   Super quick and easy.  The set I used is fur baby love.

Thank you for stopping by, My blog is primarily vacant these days, as I am finding creative time very hard.    I hope you enjoy the hop.
