Growing in Unity Day #5

Well my week as a Growing in Unity is up, I just want to say thanks to Unity stamps for having me.  I love the GUI program and was so excited I got in this year.  One of my favorite cards to make is easel cards so I thought I would end on that note.  This is a combination of a few different stamp sets, which is another thing I love about Unity.  They can be mixed and matched.  I used the image from the Your Fabulous set and paired it with the sentiment from a Jillibean Soup set.

Supplies used: Unity Stamps, Spellbinders, Fancy Pants Paper

Growing in Unity # Day 4

Thanks for stopping by for my forth day of Growing in Unity.  Since I made a card for my daughter I wanted to make one for my son.  I love this set from Phyllis Harris and I remember seeing a quick tip about stamping on vellum so I dug some out of the stash and used it for this.  I love how it turned out but let me tell you coloring is tough because it takes a long time for the ink to dry and then adhering it is hard.  I am typing with sticky fingers because I used spray glue and I swear that stuff gets everywhere.

Please leave a comment and at the end of the week I will randomly select two winners who will receive a prize pack of 25 random unity stamps.  Good luck to everyone and don't forget to check yesterdays post, I will be selecting from all the comments.

Supplies used: Unity Stamps, Vellum, Touch Markers

Growing in Unity Day # 3

Welcome to day # 3 of my Growing in Unity Week.  I made this set of thank you notes to give as a small gift.  I usually make a bunch of these for teacher gifts since I know they like to give out thank you notes (teaches the kids good manners too).  This is a sentiment stamp set and is perfect for mass producing a project.  I like to use a stamp positioning tool to make it go so much faster.  I used my envelope punch board and made some envelopes with some old paper I had from when I first got started in scrapbooking.

Supplies used:  Unity Stamps, CTMH Ink, Memento Ink, Stamp Tool

Growing in Unity Day # 2

Thanks for stopping by again for my growing in Unity Week.  I just love their stamps and one of my favorite lines in the Phyllis Harris stamps.  She also sells prints on Etsy and I have bought some for the kids rooms (she will also customize them for you).  I decided to use one of my Phyliss Harris stamps and went back to one of my absolute favorites.  My daughter will be starting a new school soon and I always thought this stamp was so inspiring for girls.  It's been one of my favorite and well used stamps of hers, but there are so many favorites.

Please leave a comment and at the end of the week I will randomly select two winners who will receive a prize pack of 25 random unity stamps.  Good luck to everyone and don't forget to check yesterdays post, I will be selecting from all the comments.

Supplies used: Unity Stamps, Touch Markers, MME Paper, Memento Ink

Growing in Unity Day # 1

I am so excited, I can't believe its that time already but I am incredibly honored to be this weeks Growing in Unity Girl for the week veteran.  They have such great quality stamps and amazing sales (seriously who can resist them, I know I can't).   I have been buying Unity stamps for about 4 years and have built up a considerable inventory.  This week I am going to use some of the stamps I bought but haven't used.  I will start with this one, I have a whole collection of these and they are some of my favorites. 

Please leave a comment and at the end of the week I will randomly select two winners who will receive a prize pack of 25 random unity stamps.  Good luck to everyone.
