Unity Ticket Stamps - LOVE THESE

On Saturday on the Unity blog, I used Unity's Store Kit Ticket to Life by Joslyn Nielson.  

I thought I would take the opportunity to share it here too, because I love how this layout turned out.

Besidess using Ticket to Life, I also used Carnivale Alpha (Marah Johnson) for the RIDE title.  

The paper is Graphic 45 "Le Cirque".  I LOVE these colors together.  The frame in the middle is a die cut frame from Spellbinders, treated with Shimmerz Enamelz embossing powder (Gold Digger), then I used some Clearsnap Chalk Ink to finish it off.

Making the Tickets:

I made the tickets using Distress Stain (Wild Honey) on watercolor paper, let dry, and stamped tickets in black and trimmed.  The one ticket has the semi-circles that are perfect for little circular gems (Want2Scrap).

 

Thanks for visiting.

Hip Hop with Unity and Vintage Street Market

Welcome to this stop on the UNITY HIP HOP for August 18, 2011, our first of two hops showcasing Vintage Street Market products with our Unity stamps.

Many of the Vintage Street Market products can be used to embellish your gift wrapping, so that is what I did!  I wrapped up a box for you, stamping on the glossy wrapping paper with Blossom Stackers stamps and Jet Black Staz-on ink.   I used the crepe paper that came in the Dimestore Vogue collection and wrapped it around.  I then made a tag out of the die cuts and some ribbon, and attached it to the package with U-Cut-It 3D foam from Glue Arts.

I used Blossom Stackers again on the tag to make the stamped and die cut label (die from Blossom Tags and Accents from Spellbinders).  I used Victorian Velvet Distress Ink, it's quickly becoming a favorite with me.

And for my second project, I die cut a Spellbinders box (Square Bracket Edge Box) out of the foil paper and then stamped one of the large stamps from Blossom Stackers.  The flower on top is the Spiral Blossoms One die from Spellbinders, using the paper from Vintage Street Market.

Before I glued the box top together, I stamped (with Staz-on Ink) the same sentiment on each side "For My Friend".

The lighting was terrible in my craft room.  It's hard to imagine that this grey looking foil is actually a beautiful turquoise blue from Vintage Street Market!  But you get the idea of how I stamped it.

Spellbinders Idea Gallery and New Site

Spellbinders has a BRAND NEW WEB SITE.  It's pretty amazing, has been in the works for months, and is extremely user friendly, and has all the new releases up.  It also has an idea gallery and that is where this layout is from.

I used a many of the new Spellbinders releases on this layout, as well as coordinating stamps from Unity Stamp Co. (Samantha Walker stamps).  The stamps are designed to coordinate with Spellbinders die templates.  That is amazing news for me since I design for both teams and I happen to adore Samantha Walker's designs.

This layout has very few embellishments, most of the detail is done using the die templates with patterned papers and ink.  Love the Holly Motifs as a dainty accent.  I think I will be using this set a lot.

Supplies:

• S5-057 Holly Motifs
• S5-070 Ornate Artisan Tags And Accents
• LF-002 Creative Book Pages Two
• LF-003 Donna's Alphabet
• LF-347 Grand Labels Twenty-Three
• E8-001 Classic Scallop
