My first card I stamped the leaves from SMAK 09/15 No clue how beautiful with the Faber Castell Gelatos [mango/metallic melon/raspberry].

Just color your stamps with the Gelatos and spritz some water before stamping onto your carstock for that watercolor effect look!

My next card, I did some basic Copic coloring since some of you did request to see more of this! :)

This awesome sundae image is from KOM 07/15 Halo Dirty

I also added some clear Wink of Stella onto the colored image for that extra bling and also stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment onto some vellum.

The HAPPY word is a die by Heidi Swapp where I ran some gold cardstock through my Sizzix Big Shot. 

Oh! And did you know there are PRIZES to be WON?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNITY STAMP! 

It's Unity's 7th birthday and we have are having a BASH.

We have a HUGE SALES, FREEBIES, NEW STAMPS... lots more!

Now, unto the cards for today's birthday hop.

First up, the new Whimsy Girl stamp from Angie Blom.

I colored the stamp with some Copics and gelatos. Then I decorated the card with my new Maggie Holmes-Crate Paper "confetti" die! Love this die set!

My next card is Maria Girl, also by Angie Blom. 

I did some flocking to her wings and I absolutely love the Bible verse included in this kit. The background I embossed it and sprayed it with some Prima Color Bloom spray in Summer Sky.

And now, for the FREEBIE stamp you will be getting this week when you shop with Unity.

Love how simple yet beautiful this stamp is!

I stamped the big heart using Picked Raspberry Distress Paint dabber and for the splatters some Mustard Seed Distress Ink. For the butterfly, I colored the stamp in using some Distress markers - which I then spritzed with some water and stamp onto some cardstock for that watercolor look. I also used some guava pink gelato for the background.

Have an awesome weekend!

When I got the email from Melissa & Gayla from Two Paper Divas - I was excited! 

They wanted me to be their first ever Guest Designer to start off the New Year and ... of course I said YES :)

Thank you for such an honor!

Two Paper Divas has some awesome clear & digital stamps. Their designs are fresh and simple - perfect for any occasion. On their blog, you can find many ideas and inspirations to make a scrappy project.  

For today's card, I have used their Flower Silhouette clear stamp.

I used some Faber Castell Gelatos (Raspberry // Metallic Melon // Mango) on the stamp - which I then misted with some water before stamping it. For the background, I spritzed some Prima Color Bloom spray (Soft Teal // Summer Sky) to create the splatter effects.

 I then embossed & stamped the sentiment from Unity Stamp "Wish with Your Heart" kit. To finish it up, I added a border with some Gelatos with more water to create a softer edge.

I am going to be their Guest Designer for the next TWO Mondays (*YAY*!) - so do come back and take a peek on more fun scrappy inspirations :)

Here's my post over at their blog. Do send them some love :)

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.

So, back to the 40,000 Unity Facebook Friends Celebration... here are the SPECIALS this week!! 

We have TWO amazing Unity filled prize packages to giveaway.  Leave a comment on EACH blog in the hop (including the Unity blog) for your chance to win.  The winners will be announced Saturday night on the Unity blog.

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 :)
