Growing in Unity: Day 4

You're back! Day 4 for my Growing in Unity week! 

If you haven't already notice (and I'm sure you have!) I am a BIG fan of white card. I wouldn't go far enough to say my style is Clean and Simple - as I like to add subtle elements such as sewn stitched lines, layered elements and sequins but it's definitely Clean and something... Today's cards have all the above elements in them. 

Here is my card using Unity: How you doin'.




Small stamps are awesome! I love repetitive stamping - so finding patterns, creating my own background, turning small stamps into the main feature is something that I creatively enjoy doing. I hate Maths but my brain will always figure out the many ways a small stamp can fit on a A2 sized card front.

 A few ways apparently... here are two more cards I created playing around with this set.







Tomorrow is my last day as a Growing in Unity girl but I'd love to inspire you more so please feel free to follow me on Instagram: My Little Paper World or subscribe for blog emails. Don't forget to leave a comment for  Unity's sponsored giveaway - drawn at the end of my week.

Do you have a collection of small stamps? How do you like use them?  

Happy Crafting!

    I do not have a sewing machine handy to sew but I love the coloring of your card. The colors stand out and love the use of stamp. I have some small ones I must try this and see how I can do.. Have to learn to go outside my comfort zone.

    I love A2 cards and keeping them simple as well. Mailing is a concern.

    This is a cute set. The hearts on your first card remind of sweet tarts that you buy for Valentine's Day. :-) Yummy! Darling cards. I have a collection of stamps alright! lol Too many as I never seem to get enough use out of them and many I've never even inked.

    I've noticed you're an Aussie (me too, and in Adelaide too) and that you mention an A2 sized card above. So do you make cards in the US size? I tend to think around Aussie sizing, but notice that some dies are really designed to fit perfectly on a US A2 sized card and so it puts me off buying some things. Actually to be honest I haven't even really done a comparison of what an A2 looks like compared to A6 (Aussie) - I haven't bothered doing the inches conversion - so maybe there's not that much difference after all?

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.

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,
