I hope that you've enjoyed all that I've made this past week and that some way I've inspired you. Please remember to comment daily as I will pick two winners for a $20 gift card to Unity stamp company. After all we can never have too much Unity goodness. And if you're ready here are my three projects I created.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb_0GzMHTJNdr4ZgCq53SZSP0js6B-iXjs7_8XKDDHfVmQa3YpKWHoZoj_MRmjNpXlT7Hbm9XbrSwIoCeOXHYWCQlZ7145Su7_EwnOP2n5Y_x_-hiwF2fnT0qurKxiBtyWyZ_CodhjUdA/s2048/20210225_161059.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1654" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb_0GzMHTJNdr4ZgCq53SZSP0js6B-iXjs7_8XKDDHfVmQa3YpKWHoZoj_MRmjNpXlT7Hbm9XbrSwIoCeOXHYWCQlZ7145Su7_EwnOP2n5Y_x_-hiwF2fnT0qurKxiBtyWyZ_CodhjUdA/s320/20210225_161059.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-size: large;">For my first project using Unity I decided to use an 8 by 10 canvas. I proceeded to tape it off with blue tape to create the checkerboard effect. I then used a black paint pen to fill in all the squares. After it was dried I removed the tape to create the background.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The poppies were used from the stamp kit entitled Unusual Day Poppy by Graciellie Designs. I used not only the image but the sentiment from this kit. For the poppies I decided to watercolor them.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">***********************************************</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">For my second project I decided to make coasters. This was actually therapeutic for me LOL. I purchased ceramic 4 by 4 tiles from Home Depot at $0.15 each.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I then decided to use four different sunflower images from stamp sets that I had to create the images on top of the coasters. All images were stamped and then colored with Spectrum Noir markers.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I then Modge Podge them onto the front and used a project I was recommended by Americana DecoArt called duraclear gloss varnish. To finish these coasters I applied three or four coats using a cheap foam brush and gave it at least a day between to dry.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once they were dry I proceeded to use felt and glue them on the back using aleene's tacky glue.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPdMOJYhgdCNJBC9DTk4kNBBLzBqUEFbC2ywtkbKzFm-yXUnh6Kv-9P7DWLLjr7V2EBeLjGk5JbHfqX3CFmPd1-KwHtc1lrvM9eVtRo2vgac4E2sm0OEtZgde8LMlXkmF7tes6RklTJLg/s2048/20210225_160937.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1950" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPdMOJYhgdCNJBC9DTk4kNBBLzBqUEFbC2ywtkbKzFm-yXUnh6Kv-9P7DWLLjr7V2EBeLjGk5JbHfqX3CFmPd1-KwHtc1lrvM9eVtRo2vgac4E2sm0OEtZgde8LMlXkmF7tes6RklTJLg/s320/20210225_160937.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The stamp sets I used for these were:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itty bitty entitled Turn Toward the light</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Beautiful like that stamp set and sentiment from Shimmer and shine sentiment kit</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Both of the two bottom images were stamp sets by Phyllis Harris.

I applied it with Mod Podge. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">I proceeded to use the sunflowers from the Shimmer and shine sentiment kit.

Today I decided to create slimline cards to show some of my favorite stamp sets that I think are perfect for these type cards.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">For my first card I chose to use "Difficult Roads" </span><span style="font-size: large;">by Graciellie Designs.

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. </b></span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><b>I stamped the image and colored with a few Spectrum Noir markers and matted also in black.

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Hello and Welcome to my blog post for the newly </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Beth Duff Designs - Winter Release Stamp Sets.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I was honored to be able to be a Guest Designer for this release.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I hope you like what I created using her amazing designs.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">For my first card I decided to use the "Timber" Stamp Set </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> which can be found here: </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For the card I put the lumberjack on white cardstock and colored with my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once done coloring I cut him out and put him onto </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">my red cardstock base.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided I would use the words included in the stamp set</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and instead of leaving them together I would simply</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">cut the apart and put on both sides of the lumberjack.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought this might be cute for a "just because" card, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a Valentines Day card, or maybe an Anniversary Card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">------------------------------------------</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my next project using the lumberjack stamp set</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to create a birthday tag.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD7wwVQ0ODyin2xlB4wBPmH1tUIgyUIr7FcICY-kD0eEIEYkoCgmhyphenhyphenwec90Q1YQi_XiD2htsBwJ3h8ikLKYOZQ1HwqS92d6f2o5pTXTnbbQz2vZH4qFcFdO2qTUxBqAh6IcLEWN5MVoTg/s1600/Beth+Duff+Designs+GD+Lumberjack+Tag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="538" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD7wwVQ0ODyin2xlB4wBPmH1tUIgyUIr7FcICY-kD0eEIEYkoCgmhyphenhyphenwec90Q1YQi_XiD2htsBwJ3h8ikLKYOZQ1HwqS92d6f2o5pTXTnbbQz2vZH4qFcFdO2qTUxBqAh6IcLEWN5MVoTg/s640/Beth+Duff+Designs+GD+Lumberjack+Tag.jpg" width="355" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my tag I used light blue card stock and traced out the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">size of my tag and cut it out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I then ran the card stock through an embossing folder </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that I had with clouds for a background.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the "Happy Birthday Wild Man" stamp </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">as a sort of banner behind him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I took some green card stock and cut to make grass, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and added the saw around the hole of the tag</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for some added interest.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used some fun foam to pop up the "Timber" lumberjack.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my third project I chose to use the "Let's Get Lit"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Stamp Set. This is also an adorable stamp set.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Up first is the tag that I created.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my tag I used the Reindeer and the Tree from</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">this stamp set. The stamp set has lots of fun additional stamps.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I colored up the tree and the reindeer.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also used the same clouds embossing folder for the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">background of the tag, as well as cut green paper</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to resemble grass.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Used fun foam to pop up the reindeer to put him in front</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of the tree. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And lastly stamped the "Merry Christmas" and created </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a sort of banner above the top.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Here is my card I created using the "Get Lit" stamp set</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">by Beth Duff Designs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used a red card stock for base, and used the clouds</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">embossing folder for the background of the image.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I colored the tree and reindeer using Zig Markers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And finally added the "Let's Get Lit" stamp matted with </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">black card stock at the top of the card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think this reindeer is adorable - I made mine </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Rudolph" with the red nose.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Beth Duff Designs Winter Releases</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to combine both of the stamp sets to</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">make a cute card and gift tag.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">For the card I thought this could be cute</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for Valentines Day, Anniversary, proposing...etc.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my card I used a snowflake embossing folder for the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">background of the card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I colored up one of the trees, the lumberjack, and the reindeer</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I put the tree and reindeer flat against the card background,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and used some fun foam to pop up the lumberjack.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought the sentiment "Wood You Be Mine" </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">was perfect for this card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">And lastly here is my adorable tag I made using both</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">the "Let's Get Lit" stamp set and the "Timber" stamp set.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello all, and welcome to my blog post for the </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Unity Stamp Company Blog Hop.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am honored to have had the chance to be a </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">GIU this year as well as participate in the Blog Hop.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to make three cards using some of my recently received Unity Stamp Company Kits, and I hope you like what I made.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">----------------------------------------------------</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my first card I decided to use the </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One Crazy Bird Kit by Angie Blom found here:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my card I used the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Giving It All Meaning" Background stamp</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and stamped it on red cardstock with black ink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is one of my favorite background stamps from Unity.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I colored the bird in with my Zig Markers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This background stamp can be found here and on sale:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my second card that I chose to make for the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Blog Hop I decided to use "Joy Girl" by Angie Blom.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my "Joy Girl" card I decided to use the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">snowflake stamps that came in the kit and stamped out a</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">small background around her.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I stamped the sentiment onto white cardstock and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">matted with black.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For "Joy" I decided to cut her out and color </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">her with my zig markers. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to personalize her top more so I wrote "Unity"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">on it to the best of my ability to look like the wording on </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">my recent sweatshirt from Unity.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Joy Girl can be found here and on sale:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And for my final card for this blog post I just had to use</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">one that makes me smile.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For this card I used "Christmas Brief" by Lisa Arana.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For the card base I used yellow cardstock and embossed it with</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a star embossing folder I had to bring out the stars around</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the sentiment. I stamped out the underwear and colored them all up. After I cut out all three and placed onto the card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Matted the sentiment to go in the middle of the card.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello Everyone!.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to my last day as</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Growing In Unity Girl :::sniff sniff:::.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This week has gone by too fast,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but I am overjoyed to have had the chance to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">share some Unity goodness with you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Please go check out each day of my blog posts</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and comment for a chance to win </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">one of two Unity Stamp Company Grab Bags.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Psst...one can NEVER have TOO much Unity (smiling).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my last day I decided to do a Christmas Blog Day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With the help of Unity Stamp Company stamps you</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">are able to create many personalized things for using</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">during the holiday season.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made some gift tags to use:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqJKz-7RFXZxntmVezU8D5JOitxKYA3R_sHuheoSsgbmEfx5wjSx1rIi-sJtXAROZvkCn5PMYwog8SSjNEbbQTAtL3JRmR_j3h9XTqBVsMX1DXqtNF9Zf2m7zw9wH42sD1oP_5iseyuQ8/s1600/Christmas+Tags.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="498" data-original-width="280" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqJKz-7RFXZxntmVezU8D5JOitxKYA3R_sHuheoSsgbmEfx5wjSx1rIi-sJtXAROZvkCn5PMYwog8SSjNEbbQTAtL3JRmR_j3h9XTqBVsMX1DXqtNF9Zf2m7zw9wH42sD1oP_5iseyuQ8/s640/Christmas+Tags.jpg" width="356" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For these I used three of the Unity Stamp Kits and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">stamped images onto a large manila tag.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I colored them up using colored pencils.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The kits that I used to make these tags were:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Jolly Ol' Santa</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Special Winter Friends</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">&</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pain And Pride</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The "To" and "From" were in a grab bag I got.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-----------------------------------------------</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I then decided that I would make a few Christmas Cards</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">as I needed a starting place for myself anyway since</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I make and donate Christmas Cards to military -</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have past few years. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This year I am also adding a few hospitals -</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">one military and one children's.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I figured that there will be those in need of some</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">smiles during the holidays who might be away from</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">family and friends.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Up first for my cards is the same Santa I used for the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gift tag from the "Jolly Ol Santa" Kit by Angie Blom.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I colored him with Prismacolor pencils then I</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">outlined him with gray to make him stand out more</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">on the white cardstock.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For his beard and hat (white) I used white and a little gray</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and kinda of smeared it together. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used Glossy Accents on his glasses but it does not show up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my second Christmas card I chose to use the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">stamp set called "Scarf In Winter" by </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tierra Jackson.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love Giraffes so I had to get this set.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I colored up image and part of sentiment with colored pencils,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and matted onto black cardstock and green base.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think it came out cute - especially with the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">green and red scarf.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my final card for today and the week (sniff sniff)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the same snowman that I used for the gift tag</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">from the "Special Winter Friends" stamp set.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think he's adorable!. I collect snowmen and have a small</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">curio that I usually fill with them for the Winter season.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello All!.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I can't believe that it is already Day 4</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of my Growing In Unity Week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope that you have enjoyed my week,</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For today's blog post I decided to make a few</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Men's cards using some of the amazing kits</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">carried by Unity Stamp Company.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my first one I decided to combine two kits</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to create my Beer Card.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the beer bottle from the</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">"A Round Of Cocktails" stamp kit</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">piece of cardstock to represent a bar top.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For both the mug and the bottle I used</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Glossy Accents to give it a glass effect.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hard to show up in pictures at times.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my second card I made a card using</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the "All Cylinders" Stamp Kit.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For this card I used a Kraft cardstock base.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I stamped image and sentiment on white cardstock </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with black ink. I matted with black cardstock.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To color in the car I used my Zig Markers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And for my final card for today</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the stamp kit called "Vroom", </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and the sentiment from the "For The Guys" stamp kit.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love the "Vroom" stamp as its a great "go to" stamp.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's great if you need a quick male card.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For this card I stamped the large background stamp</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with black ink, and trimmed it down a little on all sides</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to have a border around the entire card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I mounted it onto dark blue cardstock.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the "Congratulations" sentiment </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">from the "For The Guys" Stamp Set.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think this stamp set could be used for various reasons.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Hello All!. I can't believe that half of my week as a </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Growing In Unity Girl is over all ready. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I hope that you have been enjoying what I have made using </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Unity Stamp Company stamps, and that maybe I</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">have inspired your creativity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I was inspired to start a "Quotes Journal" recently.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I LOVE quotes and sayings, and after hearing about doing one </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I thought it would be perfect for me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I love doing cards, etc using stamps because it allows me </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">to show my own unique perspective. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">We could have the same stamp set,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">and create all totally different things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I absolutely LOVE Sunflowers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> I loved them before I went to South Dakota back in 2015 </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">but after I went there I found a place in my heart </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">that makes me smile seeing them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">For my first two pages in my Quotes Journal I chose to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">use Sunflowers from Unity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Here is my two pages:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really enjoyed doing these two pages.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For the background I decided to use my </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tim Holtz Distress Crayons.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was trying to make a sorta of plaid pattern using them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I know its not perfect, but it is "colorful" - smiling.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For this page of my journal I used several Unity Stamp Kits.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I LOVE Angie Girls, and of course Rebecca Girl </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">just had to be used. I stamped her with Sunflower in Staz On ink </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and colored her with my Distress Crayons and a few</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Zig Colored Markers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to use the "Vintage Ledger" stamp and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">distress the edges using "Vintage Photo".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found a saying on the internet so I wrote it on the ledger.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Remember: Don't be afraid to use your own handwriting</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for journaling. It makes it more personal that way.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For the caption on the top of the page I used </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">one of Unity's MANY Itty Bitty stamps.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">PLEASE don't let the Itty Bitty name fool you!.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can do so much with these stamps.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the sentiment from "Struggle & Strength", as </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I believe this is a true statement indeed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">--------------------------------</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also used a second Sunflower Itty Bitty stamp</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">from Unity called "Turn Toward the Light".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sunflowers indeed turn toward the light...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I smile whenever I see that saying.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Sunflower image I took from a Sunflower that was</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">in the July 2017 - Kit Of The Month I saw that I loved. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We all need to "Believe". Believe things will get better,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Believe that we deserve to be happy...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Believe we have worth and deserve to be loved.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I used the Vintage Postcard stamp for this page of my </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Quotes Journal. I used Distress Ink on the edges and a little</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">on the top of the Post card to make it look worn.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I found a Helen Keller quote I loved so it's now a "keeper".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I had so much fun starting this Quotes Journal</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">and look forward to adding more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">If you have a favorite quote for inspiration maybe you</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">can share it with me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I deal with anxiety attacks, and love Sunflowers, &Tulips.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Maybe your favorite quote will end up in my journal - smiling.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">=====================================</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello again!. I am back with some more inspiration using Unity Stamp Company stamps. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">For todays blog entry I decided to make a few </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Encouragement Cards using some of my favorite kits.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think we all can use some encouragement with things we are dealing with or going through.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's nice to know that we are not alone.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my First card I decided to use the image and a </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">sentiment from the "Jar Of Hope" kit.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I stamped the image onto watercolor paper using Staz-On Ink.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I then proceeded to use my Zig Markers and a water brush.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love this way of water coloring and for me its relaxing.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I put some color on a piece of acetate and then picked it up using my water brush. For the vase I used my Zig marker for the water and stems and then put a layer of </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Glossy Accents" on the vase to make it look like glass.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love "Glossy Accents".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my second card today I decided to use the </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Planted" kit by Unity.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is one of my favorite kits!.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">For this card I stamped the image and sentiment onto</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">watercolor paper and once again colored with my</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Zig markers. This sentiment is awesome!!.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used a little bit of distress ink on the edges of the </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">image and the sentiment.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></span>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Never Easier, Just Better" Stamp Set.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I did use both the image and sentiment.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I stamped image and sentiment in green ink, and </span></div>

<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red;">Welcome to my page and entry in the "Christmas in July" by Impression Obsession.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">For this entry I used the new "Baby Giraffe" - WP771 - stamp set.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">I created an a2 sized card using a red cardstock for the main color.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"> I decided that since it was a Christmas challenge I would make green stripes for background.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red;">To make more Christmasy I added the scarf included in the kit and alternated colors.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red;">The entire giraffe image was paper pieced by me. Definitely a labor of love.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">For some reason this helps with my anxiety attacks and I love doing.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">Sentiment used was included in kit. I love giraffes!!.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">I thought the sentiment "You Have A Special Place In My Heart" fit for using for Christmas </span><br />
<span style="color: red;">as many in my life - friends and family whom receive cards from me have a very special place in my heart.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red;">I hope you enjoy my card.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hello everyone!. I'm back. I truly wish I was just starting my Growing In Unity Week instead of ending it. I always hate to look forward to doing something for awhile only to have the time go by so fast. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I hope that you have enjoyed all that I have created and that I have inspired you in some way. Remember that we all create beautiful projects with Unity Stamps. Whether its a card, canvas or even wrapping paper...its all unique with Unity Stamps. I truly believe that if a few of us got together and had the same kit and supplies that we would create all completely different projects. To me there is nothing more special to receive then something homemade. Receiving something homemade is usually made directly from the heart. Its a sorta of extension of yourself. Never be afraid to express yourself.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">One of my favorite artists here at Unity Stamp Company is Lisa Arana. Lisa has some awesome stamps and I totally love her owls. Today I thought I would showcase some of them.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">To start off my owl cards I wanted to start with "Lil Bloomin' Owl".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">This owl makes me smile as it reminds me of being in South Dakota with Paul for vacation (aka Sturgis 75th) and while on the motorcycle saw field after field of sunflowers. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I thought it was very cool to see that when the sun was out all the sunflowers in fact turned toward the light.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I used a floral embossing folder for the base of my card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I stamped the "Lil Bloomin' Owl" and the sentiment with black ink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">The image was then colored in with Prismacolor Pencils.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">To finish the card I used red card stock to mat the Lil Bloomin' Owl</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">since he had a red heart on him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Up next I am going to use "Love You This Much" Owl </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">also by Lisa Arana.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">For this card I started with a red card stock.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I grabbed one of my embossing folders with hearts on it and </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">embossed the red card stock.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I stamped both the owl and sentiment in black ink and </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">colored in with my colored pencils.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Matted the image and sentiment onto black paper to finish.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">For my third card today I used "My Kinda Favorite Owl". </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">To start I used a gray card stock that I embossed with polka dots.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I stamped image with black ink and colored in.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I chose to use the polka dot embossing folder because of the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">ladybug on top of the owls head (smiling).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">For my next card I used "Going To Be Owl-Right".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">For this card I used brown card stock that I embossed with my wood grain embossing folder.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I stamped image and sentiment with black ink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Colored it in with pencils and finished by matting in black.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Here is something I created using "Bountiful Owl" which was</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">For this owl I made a tag. I decided to use a cloud technique I had seen on one of Unity Stamp Company's video for background.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I hand drew a tree and colored it to resemble bark.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I used some leaf punches I had and punched out in various colors and tried to make it look like a tree in Fall.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">For the Bountiful Owl I decided to stamp onto card stock and color in with colored pencils. For a little bit of fun I took some of the leftover leaves I had and glued together to form a mask.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I love how this tag turned out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I stamped image and sentiment with black ink, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">and colored in with Prismacolor Pencils.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I decided to add some red distress ink around the edge of the white card stock to bring out the red I used on the image.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Matted with black card stock and used green card stock for base.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">This card I dug out of my "Unity Archive" lol.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">This was a card I made shortly after I found Unity, and </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">was made for a sketch challenge.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">For this card I used "Owl Bundle Up".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">This card is far from perfect...my stamping I think</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">has gotten better (smiling).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I stamped the sentiments onto white with black ink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Matted all with dark blue card stock, and used some </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">blue and white bakers twine for a little added color.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I want to thank Angela Magnuson for creating </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Unity Stamp Company, and for all the amazing talented</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">red rubber stamps. </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Because of Unity, I have found something that makes me smile and feel good about myself doing. I have created gifts for others to enjoy, and created cards that are one of a kind.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Unity Stamps are multi-purpose stamps to me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I love that the images and sentiments are all individual so you are</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">able to put one image from one kit with a sentiment from another.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Also because of Unity I am blessed to have some amazing</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">stamping friends who inspire me, and we are able to help each other with opinions and encouragement.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;">Unity Stamp Company does all orders "cooked to order". All of the orders are done as they come in and are made just for you to enjoy. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Well for todays blog I decided to highlight two topics....men and pets....lol....no similarities I promise (smiling). Finding stamp sets for men can be hard at time. Well not with this kit from Unity. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For my first project I decided to use "For The Guys" by Lisa Arana. I love this kit because you can mix and match the three images with the sentiments contained in the kit to create a one of a kind card. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My three cards I stamped images & sentiments in various colors of ink. Afterwards I matted, and placed onto card bases that matched the ink used on the images. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Whether you need a birthday card, or thinking of you this stamp kit is great for it!. The images are awesome. </span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For the second half of today's post I decided to highlight for those who are pet lovers. I used for the base a paw print embossing folder that I had. I stamped the paw stamp onto white card stock, colored in the hearts red and matted them with black. I also matted the sentiments on each of the cards. Both of these stamp sets were created by Lisa Arana.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hello All!!. Welcome to Day Two of my five days as</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">the Growing in Unity Girl . I am so happy for this chance to showcase some of the amazing stamps and stamp sets created by</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Unity Stamp Company located in Minnesota.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In honor of Valentines Day being about a month away I thought I would take today and show you a few stamp sets that can be used for cards pertaining to Love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For my first card I chose to use "My Person" by Angie Blom and Joslyn Nielson. I think this fox is sooo adorable!.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I used an embossing folder and used around edge of card.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I stamped the image with black ink and the sentiment in red.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I colored in with Prismacolor Pencils and then matted with black paper. Fun card to make!.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For my second card I used Wild About You (Giraffe) By</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Joslyn Nielson. I stamped the giraffe onto white card stock and colored in with Prismacolor pencils. For the background I used a light blue card stock and embossed it with some clouds. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To finish the card I matted with black card stock and placed on red card stock base. Used the sentiment right on clouds.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDp7Qu-l5wWJO8R5yFDRoHh1fVKG5mnWkW44frly1-HbUSGB2yd70InGV9booD0mkHQwQQeNCxoY18QWX_4ffIsDX3odBO_jX6BUDK1ZxrqAs4f_bTJySmRUOEdM4yOO_qjO5YzII-J4M/s1600/Tuesday2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDp7Qu-l5wWJO8R5yFDRoHh1fVKG5mnWkW44frly1-HbUSGB2yd70InGV9booD0mkHQwQQeNCxoY18QWX_4ffIsDX3odBO_jX6BUDK1ZxrqAs4f_bTJySmRUOEdM4yOO_qjO5YzII-J4M/s320/Tuesday2.jpg" width="179" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For my third card I used "Puppy Ruff" by Tracy Malnofski.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">All three of these stamp sets are Itty Bittys.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I used a red card stock for the base of card. I embossed a piece of green for the tree, and placed a light blue behind for background/sky. I proceeded to stamp the dog directly onto it and colored with pencils once again. Its a cute dog with heart.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And my last card for today was one I did at the last minute. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I decided to do "I Tolerate You" by Lisa Arana.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For this card I stepped a little outside my comfort zone. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When I used to scrapbook regularly (before stamping) I used to love to paper piece. Paper Piecing is sort of like coloring except each part is a different color of paper - start from the back and work forward. I think it came out cute.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Stamped main image and sentiment in black onto white card stock. Then I stamped onto the other colors I needed and pieced it together til I had a finished image. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It was fun to create!!.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">This year marks a milestone in my life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">September 20th I turn 50!. Yipes!!. Where did it go??.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I have other friends also making it to this milestone so I thought I would take today to showcase some of the </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">"Over The Hill" Stamp Sets that Unity carries.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">For my first card I chose to use "Sucks To Get Old" by</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Joslyn Nielson. I had fun making this card.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Used red for card base, and then added turquiose.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Stamped images and sentiment in black ...colored and voila!<b>.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">"Old Bag" by Joslyn Nielson.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I stamped the image onto kraft paper to start.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Stamped the sentiment onto white paper and matted it with black. To finish the card I placed it all onto gray cardstock.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">To finish out my first day I thought I would be creative. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">There have been many times when I found myself short of wrapping paper or not having enough to wrap a gift.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Well..... Unity to the rescue!!!. If I only had my cape (lol).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">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.</span></div>

I made this for my boyfriend for Valentines Day. I thought since it was a giraffe stamp set I was using I would use giraffe paper for part of the background.

The above photo shows three cards I created. The top one is a card I made for a girl who was requesting cards due to the fact she was ill and did not have long to live. Heard about it through a friend and wanted to help. The card on the left I made for my daughter Bridget who lives in Georgia. The final card was made for my beautiful Mom for Mothers Day. I thought since the caption on the card read "A mothers heart is a patchwork of love" I would use two different sized square punches and layer them to look like a quilt. I used pop up dots on the "Mom figure".</div>

(Smiling) You have to have humor and I love stamps that have it!. I used a background stamp for the main part of the card and stamped center while using pop up dots to stand out. Made this for my boyfriend and he thought it was funny.</div>

The challenge the above card was made for was using a wooden item. All I had at the time was a butterfly so I used it. I hand cut out the fence pieces and drew the lines on for the wood look and assembled on the card. I placed the owl on top of one post. I also stamped three flowers and used pop up dots on to make stand out. I stamped the sentiment that came with the owl onto a cloud.</div>

Playing around one night I created this card. Used a small tag and punched a heart into it and placed red paper behind. Hand drew a branch out and cut out. Stamped out birds and sentiment.</div>

This is a 6 x 6 card I created. I was playing around with the background by using water and then simply taking an ink pad and running across for color to kinda of give a water color look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Put color behind sentiment and tied ribbon at top for finish. </div>
