Good morning!
Welcome! Today is my last share as a Unity Gal 2024. I am always sad to see this time end but in reality it just gives way to the next Unity Gal to show off all her love for Unity too. And that it always exciting. 

Today, I am sharing another square card I made using Unity Stamps fun stamps & stencils “de Fleur Daisy”. Such a fun set to use!

I fussy cut out the image and then attached to the card base with pop up foam. I then used a black ink pen to extend the speckles from the stamp onto the card base to pull it all in.

Growing in Unity 2024, Day 4

Good morning!

Welcome! Today I am sharing a simple birthday card using the Birthday Blooms stamps and stencils.

I hope you like it!

Growing in Unity 2024, Day 1

Good morning!

Once again, I have been given the opportunity to share my love of Unity Stamps with so many Crafty Friends! I don’t take this gift lightly as there are many talented crafters out there that put their name in the hat in the hopes of getting selected. I hope you enjoy what I have created for my week in the saddle!

This week I’ll be working with several of Unity’s Stencil sets. I love these sets as they are easy to use and the results are always outstanding 

I don’t often make square cards, but this stencil set works perfectly for that. I am a little bummed because while I ordered the Bevy of Balloons stamp that works with this stencil set, I didn’t order in time to use for this event.


I really do love this stencil set and can't wait to get the stamp!

 

The frosting looking borders on either side of the image are cut from some foam board I bought from the Dollar store. I’ve been seeing cards and videos of how to use it with dies and I had to try it! I absolutely loved how they turned out. Easy to cut with my Big Shot and the details of the die are not lost. Plus, it’s foam and very light, so it will not add weight for mailing.

 

I do not know who made the die, I found it at a local resale shop, and it was just in a bag with 4 other dies that also make frosting looking die-cuts. If someone recognizes it, please let me know in the comments!



Supplies, card size: 6 x 6
  • Cardstock from Colorbok (Base) and Stampin Up!
  • Die Unknown (Frosting)
  • Foam board from the Dollar Tree
  • Ink from Scrapbook.com, Tsukineko and Fun Stampers Journey (Liquid Silk)
  • Marker from Mala
  • Sentiment from Unity Stamps (Many More Birthdays)
  • Stencils from Unity Stamps (Balloon Layering Stencil)
