Growing in Unity: Day 2

Welcome back to my Growing in Unity: Day 2! (If you missed Day 1 you can check it out - here.)

Today's card I wanted to share some Christmas inspiration using Conspiracy of Love 10/17 KOM. I've been subscribing now for almost a year but I don't use my Kit of the Months as much as I want to (most likely because I'm a stamp hoarder who has too many stamps!) But the October kit had one little stamp that "spoke" to me and said: "pick me pick me"... so I did!

Using non tradition colours and a 'rock n roll' stamping technique I stamped the images in the middle of my card front. I added circles and stars to the top and embellished it further with sequins and a machine sewn stitched lines. I added some more details to the ornaments with a glitter pen to make them pop! The sentiment is taken from Unity's: Happiest Season of All stamp set. 





Whose up for a little sneak peak of tomorrows (Day 3) Growing in Unity card...


 Don't forget to leave a comment! One of two great Unity Stamp Co. prize packages will be drawn at the end of my Growing in unity week! 

 Have you made all your Christmas cards for 2017? I always find that I've made them well in advance but forget that I actually still need to sit down, write in them and send them off via snail mail! 

Happy Crafting!

    I am up way too early again. It is 4:08 am here in Minnesota. USA I love your card. It is so pretty and the colors just pop. So bright and cheerful for a cloudy Winter day.

    Oh I love this card. I must start thinking outside my comfort zone and be more creative as you are. I love how many things you have mixed up here and come up with a wonderful card. This card would make me very happy to receive and I am sure someone will love it when you send it out.

    I have them made but have not done the finishing and sending out either. Hopefully, I can get that done today. Love your card.

    I love this sentiment stamp ... it's one of my favorites. I usually use it on the inside of my card, but I love how you used it on the front. Very pretty design & colors.

    Very cute and festive card! Love the combination of stamps, diecuts, colors and stitching! Yes, I made my cards way in advance - that seems to be the easy part. But writing them out and mailing them...I procrastinate on that!

    I still find it hard to think of doing Christmas cards not in traditional red or green. I think that first one is a good Chrissy card for teenagers.

Growing in Unity: Day 1

Yippee!! After waiting 11 months, 10 days, it's finally my week to share my Unity cards. 5 whole days of inspiration is coming your way...oh! and lets not forget the sponsored giveaway by Unity at the end of my week - a grab bag with 25 random stamps! My first card I decided to use one of my favourite sets - I actually combined two (no, three!) Unity sets that really go well together. How do you use your Unity stamps? Would you mix and match them? When I first starting stamping (15 years ago) the thought of mixing sets would make me cringe - but now... no problems! I think it's a great way to make the most of your stamp collection. Here are my cards using Unity: Tumbleweed Houses , On My Way and Gypsy Journal (sentiment only) I coloured the images using a few of my ZIG brush pens and cut them out with my silhouette (for those who are visiting me for the first time - I try to avoid fussy cutting!) I added a few sewing machine details and adhered the hous

A Super Quick Card!

Just sharing another card I made (with the help of master 2 1/2yo). Stamp is unity -  Vase with stripes.  C oloured with prisma pencils and gamsol. A super quick card to make as master 2 1/2yo did most of the work. I just added some washi tape, sequins, twine and a stamp I coloured in during the week (for practice)  :) Entered into  ARTastic Inspiration Photo Challenge . Link to Unity Friends with Flair. SSS - Anything Goes Challenge Thanks for stopping by.  Samantha

A Spring Inspired Card...

Image
This week (or should I say the last few weeks) have been super crazy busy! We got good news, my Hubby renewed his work contract with the option to move back home to Adelaide (which of course we jumped at!) So...we are now packing our belongings in to boxes and the worst room is...come on! have a guess! :) Yup!! My craft room... But its mostly packed up, with the exception of a few stamps, paper packs, a handful of embellishments and my copic markers.  Last week, in between all the craft room packing (I got distracted a few times!) I created this card, its from Unity's ...bunches of love stamps. I decided to make a few, I hate having left over paper, so I tend to create a card (generally for someone's birthday coming up) and then duplicate it so I have a stash of cards for those occasions you forget someones birthday coming up!  This was the perfect stamp set to do this! While stamping, I wished I had that misti tool Ive seen a few times now through youtube videos,
