Hello!. Welcome to my Blog!.
Please pull up a chair and grab a cup of coffee.
My name is Aimee and I reside outside of Cleveland, Ohio.
This year marks a milestone in my life.
September 20th I turn 50!. Yipes!!. Where did it go??.
I have other friends also making it to this milestone so I thought I would take today to showcase some of the
"Over The Hill" Stamp Sets that Unity carries.
For my first card I chose to use "Sucks To Get Old" by
Joslyn Nielson. I had fun making this card.
Used red for card base, and then added turquiose.
Stamped images and sentiment in black ...colored and voila!.
For my second card I chose to use
"Old Bag" by Joslyn Nielson.
I stamped the image onto kraft paper to start.
Stamped the sentiment onto white paper and matted it with black. To finish the card I placed it all onto gray cardstock.
Fun to make and fairly fast too!.
For my final card I used "Damn You're Old" by
Joslyn Nielson. All three of these are itty bittys.
Stamped image and sentiment with black ink onto
white cardstock. I used a yellow highlighter to emphasis
the glowing from the candles (looks like how mine will be) lol.
Colored the candles in various colors and the cake base.
To finish out my first day I thought I would be creative.
There have been many times when I found myself short of wrapping paper or not having enough to wrap a gift.
Well..... Unity to the rescue!!!. If I only had my cape (lol).
I used plain brown paper and stamped various images and sentiments all over the paper. Fun to do when you can make to match the stamped card made with Unity Stamps.
I hope you enjoyed my first day, and that I can inspire you.
The stamps I used today are found here.

ReplyDeleteThank you. Glad to hear it.
DeleteWhen I had my 50th (almost 3 years ago now), my Mom had one of the grandkids come out with a fire extinguisher to help blow out my candles! Funny. Not really. lol So when she had her 80th only 4 months later, I found 6 extinguishers ... so 6 of her 9 helped her out. LOL AND I had bought the Damn You're Old set to make her card that year. Not sure she liked it, but ... She understood. :-) Your cards are all darling and happy early milestone! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing that. Made me laugh. Moms are great.
DeleteThese are fabulous Aimee! Awesome start for your first day as a Growing in Unity Girl! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us the rest of the week! Hugs!

ReplyDeleteCant go wrong with Unity Stamp Wrapping paper.
