Webster's Pages and Unity Stamp Co. Hop!

Happy Thursday to you! Today Unity Stamp Co. has paired up with Webster's Pages to showcase their beautiful new collection of paper and stamps called Girl Land!

I had an amazing time creating this card using Webster's Pages stamps to create the patterned paper and flower.

I loved making this card because I stamped then embossed the papers before I used them. Super fun technique! There's just something magical about using a heat tool! I even embossed the sentiment frame! LOL!

Supplies Used: Webster's Pages stamps. Unity Stamps, Bazzill Cardstock, Donna Salazar Mix'd Media Inx by Clearsnap, Clearsnap Embossing Powder, Fiskar's Border Punch, Donna Salazar Rose Creations Die Cuts by Spellbinders, Small Frames Chip Art by Melody Ross, Offray Ribbon, Jewel by BoBunny, Pearl Pin by Hydrangea Hippo

Both Unity Stamp Co. and Webster's Pages are giving away prizes today, so be sure to post on both blogs for a chance to win!

Now I'm sending you on to my talented design team sistah Jolande! Enjoy the rest of the hop and have an amazingly blessed day!

3-D Fringed Flower Thank You

Happy Spring Everyone! I'm so excited because spring is my absolute most favorite season of the year! All of the beautiful flowers and vibrant colors are simply amazing!

Speaking of flowers, check out this card I made using the Sizzix 3-D Fringed Flower by Eileen Hull! This too is one of my favorite dies EVER!

I love making cards, but I really love making cards that look like I made them..you know, my own style. Since I always like to add my own little twists on things I made my 3-D Fringed Flower an original by adding a few of my own specialties to it.

1. I die cut 2 sets of flowers.

2. Next I inked the edges of each petal then rolled each fringed petal.

3. I stacked the petals from smallest to largest and attached with a brad.

4. Next I put some diamond glaze on my petals and added some glitter to my flower.

5. After my flower dried, I added a jewel to the center of my flower and leaves.

Not bad, huh? LOL!

Supplies used to make this card are: Sizzix 3-D Fringed Flower by Eileen Hull, Unity Stamps, My lMind's Eye paper, Bazzill Cardstock, Colorbox Inks, BoBunny Jewel, BoBunny Chunky Charms Bracket, Diamond Glaze, Donna Salazar Fairy Dust Glitter.

**You can find all of Eileen Hull's incredible Sizzix dies HERE.

Wishing you and yours and abundance of blessings!
