Scrappy Scrappy: September 2014

I am HALF way through my Copics class and I thought I'd share with you some of the stuff I have been coloring. :)

These are definitely not perfect (and I need more practice) but the class had helped a lot!

This bird image is just so pretty and I love some of the color combis I was playing around with.

Some flowers :)

Coloring two different hairstyles with the same colors.

And learning how to color humans! :)

Vampire robots and bats are pretty fun to color too! :)

Now .. back to the class for MORE!!

Oh yeah yeah!!

Doesn't it all look so yummy? :)

I finally bit the bullet and signed up for my first ever online class!

And being my first class - of coz it had to be about Copics right? :)

It's Day 5 of the class and I'm only starting on Day 1.

(I didn't realize it started and signed up late.. *LOL*)

The above is something I learned on Day 1 - on how to blend and mixing my own color combis.

FUN!

Back to the ~~drawing~~ scrappy board.

Guess what?

Unity now has (more than) 40,000 Facebook friends!!

Can everybody say WOOT WOOT? :)

So, before I spill on what the Celebration is all about, here's a card I made today.

Oh yeah... Here I have officially started on my CHRISTMAS cards!

YAHOOO!! :)

Remember our Unity Stamp + Faber Castell Hop last week? Click HERE if you've missed it.

Well, I just couldn't get enough of the Gelatos so, I used it here again! :)

Using the snowflake stamps from 09/14 KOM "Happy, Thankful and Blessed" and the sentiment "His Presence" - I did an emboss resist technique to get this watercolor effect.

Here's the tutorial step-by-step for this card.

If you like this video, feel free to give a thumbs up and SUBSCRIBE to my channel.

It's Inspiration Time at The Cutting Cafe again and this week it's all about packaging.

For today's post, I have used the Coffee Cup Holder set and altered it.

Rather than using it for coffee (since I am not very much of a coffee drinker), I have used it to store my scrappy supplies instead :)

I love how cute the holder came out to be. I've added some flowers and bling too :)

You could opt not to have the holder and instead use it as boxes to store your supplies.

Remember to go to The Cutting Cafe blog and leave a comment for a chance to win any 3 sets from the store. YES!! 3 sets! :) Regina is awesome that way.

Happy weekend.

This week is a special Unity Hip Hop Thursday as we are joining with Faber Castell ALL WEEK LONG for Inspiration - Prizes - and FUN!!

I have always loved Faber Castell. Their products are just so much fun - especially the GELATOS!

So I made a few cards today showcasing the different techniques you can use with Gelatos.

Don't you LOVE it when ONE product can be used in MANY ways?

***

Have you tried stamping with Gelatos? Well, here's how fun it will look!

I love the watercolor effect it gives and yes, you can mix colors coz they blend oh-so-well !

Here I am using the "Wish with your heart" kit along with the August 08/14 KOM "Summer collapsed into fall"

***

Now, how about gelatos with embossing folders?

What I did here was first, to emboss my card then simply apply the Gelatos across the embossed areas.

I then sprayed some Diamond glimmer mist on it to add some shine (which my camera isn't really picking up here).

Add a few cute little stamps - here I am using "Hello Little One" kit - and you are done! :)

***

And finally, gelatos go so well with resist emboss too!

You could emboss with any embossing powder for this effect but here I am using Pink Paislee's artisan paper which already is embossed. (SAVES me all the time :) )

Simple scribble some Gelatos onto it, add some water and blend it in with your fingers!

EASY PEEZY! :)

And if you did not know, Angie Blom has released some AMAZING NEW Angie Girls!! I am using Julie Girl for my card - which I think looks AWESOME!! She's just so PRETTY :)

Over at Unity we have a GIRLS WEEKEND! So do check out the sales over at Unity :)
