I was inspired by our Beautiful Friend and Leader, Julie K of A Little Bit of Bling, and owner of 3  Girl JAM.  She shared her creation with all of our Design Team and I was absolutley in awe of her gorgeous techniques and end result on her State Line Bag.

 Isn't this truly Magnificent?
Way to Rock the Bag Julie....so thrilled over this beauty, that I had to share it!
THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION!

Here is the 3D Valentine Project I created after being so inspired by Julie's Project above!

I tried to spritz my homemade pink glimmer mist onto my bag, but my spray bottle was not being very cooperative.  I unscrewed the cap and painted the mix on the canvas bag instead.  As it dried, I began creating my tags.  I inked up the edges with American Crafts - Rouge Red.  I then stamped the background puzzle image from the Unity Set, Love you to pieces, using Dew Drops - Starlite Silver. I pleated some Summer Sprinkles Crinkle Ribbon around the edge of my tag for a softened appeal.  I stamped the same image onto a second Kraft Tag and placed that on the back of the first using 3D foam squares.  I added a fussy cut puzzle piece (another stamp in the Unity Set) and a heart to my tag.  The paper I used for the puzzle piece is Amy Tangerine-Sketchbook.  Aren't those rainbow hearts just darling!  I put the heart on an Action Wobble for extra pizazz!

 The bag was then stamped with the same background puzzle image, but using my Ranger Embossing ink this time.  I sprinkled white embossing powder over the wet ink, then heat embossed.  I would suggest letting the heat gun be as far away as possible for this technique.  If you get to close, it will begin to discolor from the high heat.

 I added the sentiment, Love you to pieces, from the same Unity Set using TH Distress Ink, Black Soot.  I went over the sentiment on the bag with my black gel pen for added darkness.

To finish off my State Line Bag, I added Cherry Lipstick and more Summer Sprinkles Crinkle Ribbon to the drawstrings.

I did a little more stamping and embossing on the back of the bag because you can never have too much, right?  LOL!  I wanted to show you also that if you get your heat tool too close to the painted bag, it can discolor it a bit.  See the center of the bag that has a bit of an orange hue?  That was pink, not orange...he he he!

Thank You Tag - Growing in Unity Day 3

Happy Day after Christmas Sweet Blends

I hope you had an amazing Christmas Day filled with tons of Love, Memories, Great Food, and Joyous Celebrations.

Today is my day to share my Day 3 Growing In Unity Post for this week.  Each and every day this week, I have and will be sharing a project I have created using my ALL TIME Favorite Stamps EVER . . . . Unity Stamps!

It is quite the honor for me to have this opportunity and I want to properly THANK

everyone involved in making this possible for me!  

Thanks Unity Stamp Co.  and TEAM

I am glad you are stopping in today because each day that you stop to see my Unity Project, you will be entered to WIN some Unity Stamps yourself!

A random winner will be chosen at the end of the week to receive

2 itty bitty

stamps 

of their choice

For my project today, I decided to create a "Thank You Tag" for  Christmas".  After all of the gift giving is over, it is a great idea to have some Thank You Tags and Cards to pass out to those who have shown you their generosity.

I started with a manilla tag from Unity and stamped the itty bitty, Vintage Handwritten, with my embossing ink.  I heat embossed white powder then used 3 different colors of glimmer mist around the entire tag.  The colors fit beautifully together and because they were more on the dark tone spectrum, the white really stands out.

I added a piece of vellum as a top layer to the tag.

I tied it together with some fun 3 Girl JAM Goblin Green Crinkle Ribbon.

 Thank You sentiment by Unity (in a grab bag I purchased, so not quite sure what set it belongs to).  The lamp post is an image from the echo park set better with love by Unity.
