Tiddly Inks

Today I have a card to share with you that I made quite a while ago. This very cute digital stamp Annie is from Tiddly Inks. If any of you love Stamping Bella you may have some of the great rubber stamps by Christy Croll....My very favorite is Izzie. Well, Christy now has a wonderful digital stamp site also. Her paper craft planet group has 1,000 members in only 7 weeks, that has to be some kind of record....don't you think???

Her Tiddly Inks store, that I linked above, is just getting started but you should really check it out. She will soon be having a big sale and a blog hop. I have a link to her blog on my sidebar where you will find a lot more info, or you could click HERE if you would like info on getting in on the blog hop or checking out the Tuesday Challenge Blog.







I still have some of my Be Loved papers from My Mind's Eye(I am not tired of them yet) that I used here along with some coordinating cardstock. I popped up the book to add some dimension and made my own flower with some spellbinders flower dies. The sentiment is from Unity and Annie is colored with Copics.

Thanks for stopping to see my creation today, hope you have a great week!!!
See you soon!!!

1.29.10 Unity Friends With Flair

Hello an Happy Friday!!! Welcome all the friends with stampin FLAIR brought to you By Unity Stamp Co. I have 2 cards to share today. Both of my cards use the very popular My Mind's Eye Be Loved paper line along with coordinating cardstock from Prism.

My 1st card is from a sketch I found on Splitcoast Stampers. I used stamps from 2 different Unity sets. The flower and flower pot are from the Treasure To Me set and the sentiment is from Best Wishes & Blooms. I LOVE these sets, there are so many different options with them and even more when you mix & match!!!
The 2nd card has 2 stamps from different sets also. The floral image is from the Dec KOTM Delightful Moments and the sentiment is from Spring Unity. Here I used some Spellbinders dies, a Martha Stewart border punch and some stickles to add just a little sparkle.



THANK YOU for stopping by today, don't forget to go to all the blogs listed on the Unity blog so that you can find a special blinkie on one of them and possibly win 25 Unity stamps. Hope you have an awesome weekend!!

...Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #57 (MTSC57)

This week I decided to try out my first Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge. On January 1st I was lucky enough to get one of the limited supply stamp sets Happy Day by The Greeting Farm. Oliver and Amelia are Anya & Ian's new friends that will be officially released in March 2010. Well, my daughter is a HUGE American Girl Doll fan and these stamps look VERY similar to her Bitty Baby twins (actually Quadruplets, 2 boys & 2 girls...thanks to birthday, Grandma & Santa 2 years ago) that she LOVES and plays with ALL THE TIME!!! I decided it was time to go out of my element and make a boy card and I used this sketch as a guide to do that.
Here I used papers from My Mind's Eye, colored the image with Copics, used a Fiskars border punch, the dinosaur is Quickutz and other cutting dies are Spellbinders.
I didn't put a sentiment on the front of the card but thought it would make a nice boy birthday card, with the sentiment on the inside.

I hope you like my contribution to my 1st Mercy's sketch challenge, it was a fun card to make. I LOVE these sweet new friends of Anya and Ian and can't wait to show you how I've colored up Amelia. I also have a layout page in the works with the 4 dolls and 4 images....again, reliving my not-so girly girl childhood.

THANK YOU for checking out my creation and I am curious to know what you think of him.
Until next time,
Jodi

The Wild Flower Patch

Today I would like to tell you about a new store that I found, it's called the Wild Flower Patch. I LOVE the stuff I made from there so much I put one of their badges on the right side of my blog, in case you just HAVE to have something you see. The items I got are all digital, one image and two of their Perfect Presentation Templates. Here is the 1st one I made....






















This is called the My Little Bag Template and I LOVE it!!!! I have some digital templates from other places that come with ONLY the template. These come with complete instructions, extra templates for the side and top pieces....so you don't have to measure the odd shapes or guestimate the size of your Dp....and this one has an extra template for an additional gift card holder to put inside. These were the easiest cardstock bags or boxes I've made. Luckily my printer will print on cardstock, otherwise you just have to make a pattern with printer paper. I just need a magnet or some velcro to hold the one side shut, but I was able to tuck the flap in without any problem.

Both projects I'm showing you use the My Mind's Eye be loved collection with coordinating Prism cardstock. The love postage stamp is from Unity's Jan 2009 kit love etc... and all die cuts are from Spellbinders.

Now for my 2nd project....

I'm not sure which of these I like better but I would lean towards this one because it has THE CUTEST image on it.....don't you agree???? Her name is Valentine Lily and she ALSO comes with options. There is the one on my Bag It Up Perfect Presentation Template and there are two more that have different sayings on the Valentine she is holding. This template has options too. The top can be a handle if you want, I just chose to punch mine and tie with a ribbon to see how it would look. You can also have a window in the front if you want.

I colored Lily with my Copics and tried to have her coordinate with this amazing paper. I used my Atyou Spica glitter markers on her shoes, the valentine, some random hearts, her eyes and eyelashes. I LOVE her little half smile. The oval and flower dies are Spellbinders. I hope you like her half as much as I do. The Wild Flower Patch has other great images like her so go check them out(all you have to do is click on their badge on the right), with digital stamps you get them right away!!! It's GREAT!!! I found some of the CUTEST Thanksgiving images... I may have to use them to scrap our incredible Thanksgiving vacation to New York City. My brother was an incredible host and he, at the very least, should have a mini book of our time there and how much it meant to us, most of all my daughter.

I hope you enjoyed my favorite new finds!!! I sure had fun making them!! Thanks for stopping and taking a peek at my creations, I really appreciate it, until next time....

Leftovers......for DIE CUTS R US

This week we are suppose to make a new creation from our leftovers of Christmas/Holiday papers and here is what I came up with.


I looked through my papers and found I had enough of the My Minds Eye Colorful Christmas collection to make a nice card. The stamp is a new Wild Sprout from The Greeting Farm which I happened to get in the mail today from DIE CUTS R US, her name is Stella and isn't she precious!!! I colored her with Copics, the ribbon and all Dp is from the Colorful Christmas Collection mentioned above. The cardstock is Bazzill and the cutting dies (embossed and colored frame, labels and flowers) are all Spellbinders.

I hope you like my little "leftover Stella" and thanks for stopping bye to visit.

Have a beautiful day,
-Jodi

A Frigid Unity Friends with Flair Friday

Hello to all of you friends of Unity with flair!!!! It was below zero here yesterday and it took me 1 1/2 hours to dig my car out of the 17+ inches of snow. To all of you visiting from a warm climate...I am very jealous today!!! It is beautiful though when you are inside and nice and warm.

If you haven't checked in with Unity yet they are having a great sale this weekend, 25 % off all stamps and a free single for every $10.00 you spend. Time to stock up on those stamps you've had on your wish list!! To check it out you can click on my Unity Addict blinkie to the right.

Today I have 2 cards to share with you. When I saw this Merry Christmas die cut from the My Mind's Eye colorful Christmas collection I immediately thought of this mitten stamp from the December 2008 kit of the month, little reminders. I just love this stamp and these colorful papers.
It is hard to show the sparkly glitter in the picture, you can see through the glitter much better in person

For my 2nd card I used Making Memories wedding collection with a Unity stamp I consider to be a "Unity classic", Feel the Joy.
So if this is your 1st friends with flair, as you are looking at all of the wonderful creations, you need to look for the blinkie and leave a comment on that site for a chance to win 25 Unity stamps.



And, yes you have found the blinkie here this week. So, leave a comment here, and you will have a chance to win 25 random stamps from Unity. On Saturday I will tell you who is the lucky winner!!! Good Luck!!!

Hello and happy Friday, thanks for stopping by today. Hope some of you are having nice weather where ever you are because it has been horrible here....rainy,cold,windy, YUCK!!! Today I made a winter card using Unity's stamp Trinity Trio from last year. I really like this tree stamp and used it quite a bit last year. Patterned papers and die cut snowflake are from My Minds Eye Colorful Christmas collection. The card didn't turn out quite like I wanted but I didn't have time for another. Hope you have a great weekend and Happy Halloween!!!

Hip Hop Hangover Friday

Here's a card using the adorable stamp set from Unity Stamp Co called Cuter Than Most. I've had this paper for a while (My Mind's Eye) and I do like to stamp on patterned paper sometimes. I also used my favorite border punch from fiskars and added some matching paper on the inside of the card to see through the border. Thanks for looking.
