Unity Friends With Flair

Hello Friends With Flair.  Wow, I am trying to get used to the summer schedule and having the kids around and still be able to create.  I really need my creative time, how about you?  Both of these cards have had elements finished on my desk for weeks, but I couldn't seem to get the whole card made.  Then I got my box of stamps in the mail.  I always feel like a little kid when they arrive, even though I ordered them and I know what is in the box.  But to be able to hold them in my hot little hands, yea!!!!

 

I saw a blog post by Cindy Coutts and she showed how to make "washi-like" tape with a roll of Post-it labels.  I didn't even know the product existed, but she showed how you could stamp your own backgrounds on the tape and use it on a card.  Low and behold in a bin near the registers at Office Depot, I see the rolls of Post-it tape.  It comes in many colors and it contains 58 feet per roll.  I chose white since it was the most versatile for me.  It says it sticks securely and removes cleanly, which I found to be very accurate.  I used bitty backgrounds and cut "V's" in the "custom washi tape"  So I had this part finished and adhered to my green card base and did not know what else to do.  When I saw this "so blessed", Unity Simple Stories.  I stamped in image in rich cocoa, Memento ink and used Copics to color parts.  I used a Spellbinder circles and flag and pennants dies to complete.  It is simple, yet sweet.

For the second card I had embossed that piece of Summer sunrise, PTI.  I was going to use it on a Valentine's card, but NO!  It had adhesive on it and I kept moving it around my desk (it was a good piece of cardstock I had to find a use).  I looked at this Everything in Love, itty bitty and thought it would fit in the Spellbinder pennant dies and yea! it did.  I used both the regular and lacey pennant dies.  I colored the heart with Copic and used same Copic marker on some twill ribbon to finish the project.  Again quick and easy.  And I used up pieces sitting on my desk. Bonus! 
Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by.
