Friends With Flair Friday Hop

It's tag time!! And today I've got a tag to share with you that I made using Unity/Samantha Walker's Greetings of Christmas stamp set. I made my tree background with gold peel sticker from Sparkraft Enterprises and filled it in with Green Pearl Crystal Lacquer.
I love the dimension that it created.

Thanks for stopping by!

Friends With Flair Friday Hop

It's Friday, and that means it's time for another Friends With Flair Friday Hop with Unity Stamps. I love Samantha Walker's Blossom Stackers set - there are tons of ways to use these stamps. Today, it was perfect for a birthday card for my sweet husband (whose birthday is tomorrow!)

Thanks for looking!

This is the last weekend before Thanksgiving, and yes...I should be working on getting ready for the big day, but instead, I decided to play along with the Unity Friends With Flair hop. Seriously, who needs to clean house?!!

I have to tell you that the Samantha Walker Designs for Unity Stamps are my very favorites! I have almost all of them. And the Spellbinders that she designed...be still my heart! For today's card, I used Fall Splendor. This stamp set is so pretty, it makes me drool! I also used her Twisted Metal Tags and Accents Die to highlight my stamped embellishment. I punched the tiny scallops using my most used punch from EK Success.

I hope you will have time to hop along today, and see some of the wonderful inspiration!

The Robin's Nest Teams Up with Viva Las VegaStamps

It's been a fun month at the Robin's Nest! We have been getting to play with some really fun stamps from Viva Las VegaStamps! I've made lots of Halloween projects this year, so I thought - who says that Halloween can't be pink and black? Now, I'm sure you are thinking that the Robin's Nest didn't happen to have their Boo Words paper in pink, and you're right! But with a little Taffy Pink Smooch and some fussy cutting, I had my sentiment ready for a girly Halloween.

Be sure and mark your calendars for October 31st - The Robin's Nest will be having a great blog hop with candy at every stop (and this candy won't even add any calories!)

I've been itching to try a Napkin-fold card, and knew that it would look perfect with the Butterfly Garden set designed by Samantha Walker. I have to tell you, I love, love, love all of the Samantha Walker stamps, and have almost all of them! This is such a versatile set, and I know I will use it over and over again.

Here is my card closed. It is a little time consuming, but using the Scor-pal, it's really not hard!

After you remove the belly band that holds the card closed, this is what it looks like.

Finally, when you fully open the card - here is the spectacular view! Plus a little area to write a message to the recipient. I hope you enjoy the hop, and find lots of inspiration! Your next stop on the blog hop is: Natalie Dever

The Beary Scrap January Sketch

Hello Beary Scrap Fans! We started a new sketch challenge a few days ago, and you have until the 14th of this month to play along (and it's a brilliant sketch, so why not have a go at it!)



I was so thrilled when I saw how cool the Basic Grey Pyrus paper looked with my Decadent Pear stamp set from Unity. For my pears, I stamped them using Black Memento ink onto some of the DP, but then colored in the details with a Sakura glaze pen. My flowers were colored with Maya Mist and I added Flower Soft for the buds. I love the vintage feel of this card!
