Happy Friday Hello

Why, hello!  It's good to see you! :)  I'm up over at 3 Girl JAM today with this fun and happy card using my all-time FAVORITE crinkle ribbon bundle - the Spooky Bundle.  Love these purples and greens.  Here's what I did:

That gorgeous lace is from the 3 Girl JAM Light and Bright Set.  The fun and easy "bow" is one that is inspired by former 3 Girl JAM DT, Donna.  I just took a few strips of the gorgeous spooky bundle ribbon and tied it with twine.  The paper is from Graphic 45, the twine is Timeless Twine, and the stamps are from Dare2BArtzy.  I made the flower dimensional by fussy cutting stamped and glittered images from vellum.  Finally, the pearls are from The Pearl Girl.

Thanks for stopping in today.  Remember that you can use code KN10 on the 3 Girl JAM Store for 10% off your whole purchase.

Craftily yours,

Karen

Flowery Hello - Unity Guest Design

I am up again on the Unity Stamp Company blog today with a guest design post.  I'm about half-way through my month as Unity's guest designer.  It's been so much fun to see my Unity creations on their blog, and I just love reading all of your supportive, lovely comments!

Today's card uses flowers from Untamed Beauty.  LoVe these fun wildflowers.  The sentiment is from A Floral Hello Itty-Bitty.  

The paper here is from Basic Grey Sultry Collection.  (It has a definite sultry feel!)  And I added a doily, some Timeless Twine, 3 Girl JAM Lace and Ribbon and Pearl Girl pearls. <3

Now that you are in a sultry mood, I have a suggestion for you.  Go shop!  Great deals at Unity Stamp Company until midnight TONIGHT!  :D

Craftily yours,

Karen

Unity Hop

I'm baaaaaaaaack!  LOLs  Hopping with the Unity Stamp Company design team as a guest designer.  This week, there is a NEW Unity {Be Inspired} challenge.  Check it out!

Love the fun spring colors, and I love the sketches too!  There's a HUGE prize for this challenge.  Be sure to check out all the details on the Unity {Be Inspired} challenge page!

I decided to do a card using the sketch and roughly using the colors provided using Unity Stamp Company, Decorate My Life.

He is SO cute and perfect for a fun Valentine (or other special occasion)!  I colored him up with Copic Markers, added some 3 Girl JAM ribbon and lace and some pearls from The Pearl Girl on Facebook.  The paper is a combination of Basic Grey and Webster's Pages.

Be sure to also leave some bloggy love on the Unity blog and for the Unity DT along the hop for your chance to win THIS fabulous hop prize.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Pixies and Swagger

I'm up on Unity Stamp Company's blog again today with a guest design post. So fun!  My first card uses Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust created by the super-talented Angie Blom.  When this stamp was released, I bought it within 5 minutes of seeing it.  I couldn't resist. It's seriously so cute.  But why tell you, why not SHOW you?!

I just LoVe this stamp!  Did I mention that this adorable Angie's Girl is on SALE?!  The paper here is from Basic Grey Kneehighs.  The lace and ribbon are from 3 Girl JAM, and the pearls are from The Pearl Girl on Facebook!

Since I had the 6x6 pad out, I decided to create another card using another new-to-me stamp - Swagger.  

Eeeeek!  This flippin' cute lil dude is created by the simply mah-ve-lous Lisa Arana!  He also happens to be on sale this weekend - until midnight tonight!!   Did I say "SALE"?  I did!  The lace is 3 Girl JAM, and the twine is Timeless Twine in Strawberry Cupcake.  

Be sure to check out all of the fun deals at Unity Stamp Company.  And thanks so much for stopping by today!  <3

Craftily yours,

Time to Flourish

I have a SUPER fun project up over at the Cut@Home blog today using the NEW Graphic 45 Time to Flourish Collection.  Cut @Home sent me the ENTIRE collection and asked me if I'd make a little something to show it off.  What?!  Really!?  Oh my goooooodness, yes!

I made me a keepsake box.

It's made with the Graphic 45 Mixed Media box.  The box comes with 6 "coaster-sized" cardstock pages.  The Time to Flourish collection is month-themed, so I decided to decorate each side of the inside with a month to have remember-the-dates cards for my box.   These cards were SO much fun to decorate.  Check 'em out!

 This is one of my ALL-TIME favorite projects!  I absolutely LOVE it.  I hope you will go check out my post at the Cut@Home blog.  I have a video posted there.  Go seeee!  And while you are there, sign up  for the VIP mailing list.  The company sends out GREAT coupons.  Really great ones.

Craftily yours,

Karen
