Day 3! I used the kit of the month from June 2017 "time to enjoy". These are such fun summer time stamp set and the ice cream treats are just adorable. I stamped the outline stamp on some card stock and designer paper and then water colored using ranger ink pads. Unity stamps just stamp out so beautifully with the deeply etched red rubber, I prefer them rather than polymer stamps personally.
Distressed the edge and wrapped some twine. Added some interest by turning the sentiment sideways.
I tried something New for me anyway and that was to stamp the butterflies fluttering right to the top of the card and repeating my sentiment a few times on the inside. What I like about this is it only left a small area to have to hand write my note,LOL sometimes you just don't feel like writing a lot. Unfortunately, I may have to Cover up that one area with putting a piece of card stock over because you can see the bleedthrough from the back for my handmade by, sometimes it just doesn't pay to buy cheaper supplies this white card stock was not very good.
Here is the awesome envelope to coordinate with this card, today is all about you, wouldn't that make you feel special to get that in the mail and the cute little flower window box with the window is where I'm going to write the address isn't that great, all of the stamps are Unity.
Hope you had a great cup of coffee and were able to enjoy the post. See you again tomorrow for another part of the ride on this Unity Stamp Company sponsored event. Don't forget to leave your comment on the post again for your chance to win a grab bag of 25 stamps from Unity Stamp company, thankful for their generosity. If you are inspired by this Card and make a creation please post on the Facebook page where we share Unity stamp cards for all to see. Happy stamping. Blessings, Michelle
Great cards! Love the colors you used on the sweet treats card!
ReplyDeleteLove the use of the stamp on the front for the background and the main interest. The envelope is very cute too, but I hope you are hand delivering, because I don't think those sequins will make it through the USPS, lol.

ReplyDeleteVery pretty card for the summer! I always use a liner..... and I like to print out what I have to say since my handwriting is terrible.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Michelle!!! I especially love the summer treat one... it looks good enough to eat!!!😊 I often stamp my handmade by stamp in a lighter color ink, especially when using white, or other light colored cardstock.

ReplyDeleteI especially like the ice cream one. Using the ice creams in the background is a nice idea :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice cards.
ReplyDeleteNice cards! Great use of a mix of stamps!
ReplyDeleteI think this turned out great! I don't think that you should add paper to the inside (unless the artist in you wants to!!) because your back of card label says it all. I love that you have a group you regularly send notes to. I've always thought that receiving a letter in the mail was so uplifting. My kids light up for sure!! Your envelopes make the anticipation of opening all the more fun <3
ReplyDeleteBoth of these cards are so fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat projects, I love that ice cream card!!!
