Welcome to Friday and a post for Unity's Friends with Flair. Want some Unity/{ippity} inspiration? Just hop along with Unity fans for some fabulous projects and a chance to win some sweet Unity rubber! (You'll find a complete list of FWF hoppers on the Unity blog.)
Today I've got another Valentine for you--using all {ippity} stamps: the Dots for Sure background and the truly sweet "sweet love" sentiment from Moon Beam & Heart Strings.
I used the sketch from the new Chick Challenge {with Ippity} #16 for my design,
and I chose my colors based on GoFish Challenge #10.
I'm also entering this in the {ippity} Love challenge (to use red, pink, hearts, etc.) and the Paper Sundaes Valentine challenge.
Finally, this is my entry for The Punches Challenge in the Moxie Fab World, in which Cath challenges us to use punches in an innovative way. No, no--stop looking at those heart punches. Nothing innovative there!! My "innovative" take on punches is that I made my little pennant banner using a large star punch to punch a star
and then snipped off one of the star's points: instant pennant!
Just string them up, and you have a sweetly sized banner. :)
I've got a busy day ahead--many errands and loose ends to wrap up! The whole family is going to a hockey game (Merrimack College v. Boston University) tonight; it's a Cub Scout family outing for my son's pack. He "paid" for all of our tickets using the Cub Cash he earned from selling Cub Scout popcorn last fall. We know next to nothing about hockey, but we're geared up to have a great time! Just need to do a little boning up on the rules before we head out tonight . . .
Have a SUPER weekend!! Thank you so much for checking out my little bit of paper bliss today!

You clever, creative girl, you. Love how you made the pennants. Makes me pause and think about different ways to use my punches.
Sweet and very pretty card.

Too clever, using that star for the banner! And what a super nice card.

very cute layout! and sweet hearts.
This reminds me of Alton Brown from the Food Network on Good Eats saying only to buy multi-taskers. Really useful, more cost efficient, and takes up less space!
I am loving how you made the banner from the points of the star punch! Fabulous! :)
what a pretty card! love the cas look and how you made the banner! thanks for playing at Go Fish Challenges :)Amy
Nice take on the layout. And how clever to use the star punch for the banner pieces.
I never would have thought of using the star that way.
Super cuteness!!!
Such a gorgeous card, and a beautiful take on the sketch. Thanks also for sharing the clever and easy way to make your banner.
Great card! Very creative use of a star punch!
Genius! What a great idea with the star bunch. Such a pretty card!
Smart banner technique. Love that color of blue with red - love!
Hi Emily! This is a cleverly designed card!! Love the colours and how you created the banners from the star punch. Awesome!!
This is SO cute! I love how you used the star punch for your banner :)
Very sweet, clever use of the star punch. Thanks so much for joining in at Paper Sundaes this week
Hugs Julie P
holy cuteness!!
Such a sweet card! Love the colour combo and the neat banner! Great use of that star punch! :)
Love your card so pretty and what a great tip for that pennant. Thank you so much for joining us over at GoFish! Challenge . Glad to see you again.
Hugs,
Kate
You don't need to know too much about the rules to have fun watching hockey :) Something about being at the game just infects you with enthusiasm. Or maybe that's just a Canadian thing, eh? Hmmm.
I love the clever banner idea (you're so smart!) and I love that you used the same colours & patterns as the hearts!
Wonderful card Emily. I love the creativeness of the banner from the star punch! Thanks for playing along with us at GoFish!
Love your clever way to make pennants! I still don't have a star shaped punch (can you believe it?). The card turned out so bold and beautiful, with the brights against that fabulously bright white cardstock.
How was the hockey game? I know nothing about such things, either. ;)
I am going to have to steal your pennant trick - what a great idea! Love the pop of color, and such a simple layout!
Oh, aren't you smart?! Great trick!
Your creations are always amazing Emily! This card is fabulous and thanks for giving the 'tips' on the star...awesome! Thanks for playing with us at Chick Challenges!

Oh man, sometimes it's the little things... seriously I love the way you created the banner with the star punch. You are SO smart! Great card, love the color combos.. very eye catching.
Sooo cute, I love this! Thanks for joining us at the Unity Opportunity Challenge!
What a totally sweet card... and I'm going to remember to use my star punch for little banners!
