A journal page

I have another journal page to show today which uses stamps from Unity's store kit - All About the Journey which is available in the shop here.

I stamped the arrows on to the page and used coloured pencils to highlight parts of them. The large quote stamp was stamped on to a bought die-cut. I stamped the destination quote on to paper and then cut out each word individually before sticking to the page. I then used another of the quote stamps and cut out the word "journey" which I then stapled to the page as a tab.

Materials used:
Pentel oil pastels, Unity stamps (as above), black Versafine ink, Derwent Inktense pencils, white drawing ink
digital art doll (from Etsy),
K & Co die-cut

Go Confidently....

My card today uses the Unity kit - All About the Journey.

I coloured a piece of Kraft resist paper with a green Glimmer Mist before stamping the compass stamp on it using black Versafine ink. The sentiment from the set was stamped on to cardstock and I then used the arrow stamp to lightly stamp in various places around the sentiment,

As an embellishment I found a St Christopher charm which was silver before I coloured it with a Promarker.

Materials used:
Bazzill cardstock, Tim Holtz Kraft Resist Paper Stack
Unity stamps (as above), black Versafine ink
Glimmer Mist, Promarker, charm and ribbon

Thanks for visiting!!

Destination gateway

My card today uses stamps from the Unity sets Bold Insight and All About the Journey both available from the Make The Day Special shop.

I stamped the gates on to an alcohol inked background before cutting them out. I added them to the card along with some sequin waste and flowers.

The sentiment was then stamped straight on to the card using black Versafine ink which is one of my favourites for stamping detailed images and sentiments.

Materials used:

Papermania cardstock, Making Memories paper.

Ranger alcohol inks, Ranger Archival ink, Versafine ink, Unity stamps (as above)

Prima flowers, Stickles, Crafty Notions Rainbow Drops

paper roses, sequin waste

Shifty Stamping

Last night I sat down to make the title page for my One Little Word album and I thought that some of my favourite the stamps from the All About The Journey kit would work really well with my ornate background paper.

I already had a sheet of cardstock which I'd tested out some of my shimmer mists and stamps on, so I used the section which contained one of the clever quotes from the set as my focal point for the layout.

You'll also be able to spot another of the map stamps used as a pattern on one of the other cardstock elements. Don't they make a beautiful addition to all the pattern on the page? I'll never get tired of using the stamps from this set - they're so versatile!

Enjoy your weekend x

Ticket To Ride

Just stopping by to share my first project for Make The Day Special. The stamps that I've used are from Unity's Kit All About The Journey and, believe me, there was some excited squealing when these dropped through my letterbox.

I've started off simply, by making a cute little tag that's going to slot into a mini-album I made in September (or should I say, started making in September!) I've spritzed the background with some inks and then partly stamped the tag with the calendar stamp from the kit to form part of the background. Add some paper scraps and lace, along with my rail ticket. To finish off, I stamped the arrow using part of my kit and added it to my tag using some dimenstional pads. Can you see the map detail on the arrow? It's amazing!

I'm thrilled to have this particular set of stamps in my grubby, inky hands. They are, without doubt, the best stamps I have ever owned - they're just so usable for all sorts of projects - and they suit my tastes so perfectly that there's definitely more to come.
