Friends with Flair ~ Itty Bitty a Day Facebook Contest Entries

For those of you who follow the Unity {Show and Tell} group on Facebook, I apologize for the repeat cards...for those of you who don't...it's a fun group full of inspiration like FWF, but daily! Either way, I figured that for Friends with Flair this week I'd post details of the cards I made for the challenge (however many that turns out to be!)

Monday's card is a CAS masculine one...I have a second image colored and I plan to line the inside of the card with white paper and put these in the pile for OWH. I figure that any hero would be comfortable sending this card home!




Supplies:
stamp: Unity SOTW Itty Bitty Anchored
ink: Memento
markers: Spectrum Noir
cardstock: white(Neenah), black and gray(stash)
ribbon: The Paper Studio
die cuts: Spellbinders

Tuesday's card....I'm two for two! I colored up the Phylis Harris stamp...this little girl is so adorable! 




I entered this one in a different linky party/contest, so the details are in a different post, here.

Day three...and I'm still making cards! My family had s'mores a few nights ago...which got me thinking about this SOTW and it rolled from there!



And will you take a look at that bow...I received a new toy in the mail this afternoon, the 3GirlJam bowmaker...wow, is it easy peasy to use!!! 



Supplies:

  • stamp: Unity SOTW Chocolate and Friendship
  • cardstock: white(Neenah), brown(stash)
  • ribbon: The Ribbon Boutique
  • pencils: Prismacolor
  • ink: Memento(black), Ranger(brown)
Wow, I've managed to find time to make a card four days in a row...the thought of that just makes me happy!

Rainbows and happy thoughts for today!



Supplies:

  • cardstock: white(Neenah), others(stash)
  • stamp: Unity
  • pencils: Prismacolor
  • ink: Memento
  • ribbon: Offray
  • die cuts: Spellbinders

WooHoo! I completed five projects in five days! And judging by the number of projects posted on facebook...I'm not the only one by far! A little bit different project today...a special order for my son...he's going to a birthday party and wanted something to put the gift card in, (ok, in reality...mom told him that he *had* to put the gift card into something! lol) So a little spiffing up of the bag was in order...



I colored my own ribbon with markers again, this time using several different colors and flicking them on the ribbon randomly. I also wet the ribbon slightly with water and crumpled it into a ball then left it to dry ~ that's how it gets the crinkle. :-) Voila! I have ribbon that matches the stamp that I colored!



And check out that cute bow...made with the 3GirlJam bowmaker again...I'm loving how cute it makes the bows! 



Just a little bit of sparkle with some glitter glue, and I'm done! Do you ever gussy up the gift bags that you use?

Supplies:

  • cardstock: white(Neenah), others(scraps)
  • stamp: Unity SOTW Candles, Stars & Birthday Wishes
  • markers: Spectrum Noir
  • ribbon: Snug Hug Rayon Seam Binding
  • die cuts: Spellbinders
  • glitter glue: StudioG

Have a super day, and thanks so much for stopping by to visit! Have fun hopping around to see all the great Unity inspiration!

  4. Meredith, you are going to have your own craft show soon! Look at you go -- from cards to ribbons to gift bags. I'd say your the next Martha Stewart, but I personally think she's a fraud and YOU'RE the real thing! Great job! don't you just love those 3GJ bow makers? They are my secret to success every time!
