Growing In Unity Day 1 - Encouragement Cards

 

                    Growing In Unity Day One

                       Encouragement Cards

                

   Hello and welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy the cards I have created using Unity Stamp Company Stamps and maybe you find one or two that you didn't have that I inspired you to add to your collection - after all one can never have too much Unity.

For my first card I chose to use the Starburst Background stamp from Ann Butler and stamp in a Turquoise Ink. I matted it with black card stock and used a Turquoise card stock for base of A2 card.

For the image I used an Itty Bitty called "Stars In The Jar" which I love. Don't let the "Itty Bitty" fool you as most of the ones I have are actually good size stamps and fill the bag they come in.  

I stamped the image and colored with a few Spectrum Noir markers and matted also in black. Love the sentiment "Always Wishing You The Best".







For my second card made with Unity Stamps I chose to use "Planted" by Angie Blom. This is one of my favorite stamp sets to use. I love the main image for the stamp as its perfect to use for an A2 background. With the recent trend of slim line cards this would be great to stamp next to each other to fill a slim line card front. I used the sentiment that came with the kit. I love quotes and sayings and this is one of my favorites.






For the final card for today I chose to use a Uniquely Unity Stamp set entitled "Whole Love Story" from July 2017 by Angie Blom. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Markers, matted with black card stock down side of card and used a gold colored card stock for the card base.

Thank you for stopping by. Please leave a comment daily as at the end of the week I will pick two winners for a $20 Unity Stamp Company gift card.

Stay safe and keep crafting.

      I had had the star background by Ann Butler a while now and when I was going through the itty bittys had saw the stars in the jar stamp set and thought it would be perfect to put on the front. I'm glad you enjoyed what I made. Stay safe.

      I absolutely love unity sentiment kits. You get so much for the money when they're on sale and I love the fact that you can take an image from one kid and put a sentiment from another and make your own unique card. Thank you for the compliment.

    I just love encouragement cards as we can all use more of that in our lives. These are great, and I specially love the middle one. I have had my eye on the set for a long time and need to put it in my wish list so I don't forget.
