Growing In Unity Girl Hop




Hello my lovely friends

The growing in unity girls have teamed up to bring you this blog hop today.

I hope you have fun visiting all of us :)

I made this card for my Dad as his dog recently passed away :( 

It is never easy when a pet dies as they are always part of your family. 

The stamps I used on my card Dogs Leave Pawprints  

I kept it pretty simple and used the pawprints as a background. 

I coloured just the hearts and added a few splatters. 

I hope you join in and comment as there a two fab prizes to be won.




Below are the blog links so hop on over to Wynne's blog next and enjoy your GIU hop :) 

Thanks for visiting my blog today!

    the local vet asked me to embellish a jar for donations to pay for the care of injured and lost dogs that are brought to the clinic. this would be a wonderful stamp to use for that project.
    Sorry your father lost his best friend. that's always hard. Extend my sympathy.
    thanks for sharing

    Very touching card. I have the cat one that is just like this. Most of those I know have cats and thought it was appropriate. Whether a dog, cat, etc they all leave paw prints on our hearts and our lives are never the same. So sorry for your Dad's loss of four legged family member.

Unity & Misti Blog Hop

Hello My lovelies :) Welcome to the Unity and Misti blog hop! I  hope you are enjoying seeing all of the projects so far. I just had my first wee play with the Misti tool the other day. It is a very new to me tool and wow do I LOVE it!! It is awesome! Just for the simplest of things like positioning a stamp.  One time is all you need with the Misti!! I am not one of those crafters that gets my stamped images crisp first time. I usually have wasted a card or two before I end up with a perfect image. This tool totally eliminates all of that.  Here is my very first card that I made with the Misti tool and Unity stamps.  I used a stamp called  Scattered Pieces . I LOVE this stamp and the sentiments that come with it.  I positioned the feather and the sentiment at the same time on the Misti.  I totally love that you can do that too!  It lets you stamp several at once instead of just eye b...

Tag Trio Day 5 GIU

 Hello Friends Welcome to my final day as GIU girl. I must say that I have loved every minute of it and I have enjoyed putting all of my projects together for you to see. So I wanted to end my week with some distress tags. I love getting messy with my distress inks and using the embossing resist technique. I chose this lovely flower stamp set called  Insightful Meadows . The sentiments are from another stamp set called  The Simple Things . These were so easy to make I stamped all of the flowers and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. Then I took 3 different colours for each tag and swiped them on to my craft sheet. I spritzed some water and let the tag pick up the inks. I dried them 3 or 4 times in between until I had built up the colours I wanted.  I then stamped out the sentiments on to vellum and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I attached the vellum with glue and glued it at the back of ...

Craft Stamper November Challenge

Hey Friends Welcome to a new  Craft Stamper  challenge for November. Can you believe we are almost at the end of the year already!!  Where did time go?? It has been pretty cold and frosty up here in Scotland for the last few nights.   But I am hanging on to Autumn as long as I can. I took a wee walk around the park and collected some lovely Autumn leaves.  I wanted to incorporate them into my project today.  I put the leaves in some paper and put them inside a heavy book overnight to press them down.  I started off with a white card base and used this sentiment stamp from Unity and repeat stamped all down the side of my card using Potting Soil Archival Ink. Then I went around the edges with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink.  Next I took my leaves and my paper punches and punched a heart shape out from the yellow leaf and then stuck it to my card with fabric glue.  Then I punched som...
