Hello friends and thanks for stopping by for today's Unity Thursday! Make sure are starting your blog tour at the Unity blog to find out all the Unity Thursday news. This week, just in time for your Holiday card making, itty bittys are on sale!! Whoop Whoop!

Today I am sharing some inspiration with the new Kit of the Month

Oh Christmas Tree

When I saw this kit, I immediately wanted to create with the snowflake ornament. I thought it would be fun to stamp the images on vellum paper. I didn't use any special ink except for regular die ink (I use Versafine black onyx) and just let it dry for about 15 mins.

The fun part of using vellum paper is that you can put pattern paper behind it for nice backgrounds. I added some Stickles and ribbon to dress up the image.

For the next card I wanted to keep it CAS. I used kraft paper and a Spellbinder die to cut a window for the image stamped on vellum paper. I added some Stickles to make the pine cones sparkle.

The Sentiment from a past Jillibean Soup set paired with the twine and bow finished the card nicely.

Give stamping on vellum a try, I think you'll really enjoy the results! Now I am sending you onto Thienly's blog where I am sure you are in for a fantastic treat!

Paper Posies May kit reveal!

Yay! It's Friday. What are your plans for the weekend? I have a few classes tomorrow and that's about it. I like it when the weekend is left up to our choices of what to do don't you? I can hardly believe it's already May. That means today...

I'm pleased to share the May Paper Posies kit with you today.

Here's a look at what I created with this month's kit.

Tattoo Party Favor

 I love using my Unity April SMAK kit on my layouts. The butterflies were created using the negative image from a Papertrey die and Sharpe marker.

I added some sequins since they are trendy right now.

First Ride

Love the Jillibean Soup Chilled Cucumber Soup collection that's in this month's kit.

The Elle's Studio tags were fun to use along with the butterfly pins from Maya Road.

Celebrate

I used a Papertrey Ink Sentiment and some sequins from the $ bin at Mike's for this card to match the awesome confetti paper from Lily Bee Designs.

Smile

This card was a SNAP with Unity's Just a Little Clicky stamp. I stamped the image onto the patterned paper from Lily Bee and then used silver embossing powder to bring out the image.

Finally my calendar page for May

I have an extra project I created with this month's project, a Maya Road Journey tin. It's not completely finished so look for that project later this month but here's a peek.

Have a fantastic weekend!
