GIU-Growing in Unity-Day 5

 Day 5, are you still with me.  Isn't she sweet. One of my favorite things to do with the stamp sets is to see how many different ways I can use it. This is a kit from the SMAK December 2015 "helluva start".  I made a variety of projects one is a set of notecards which you'll see here and then each card individually photographed.  a blue and white and black theme. Sometimes it's nice to make a simple card, that's what this one layer card is simple and clean and fun.  I'm not going to get into a lot of descriptions because this will be a long post.  You may want to grab your favorite beverage and just take your time and look at each photograph, this post is picture heavy. 

 This is a journal page and I ended up repeating the word stamp several times and just layered it up with embellishments the original page was painted with gesso and painted with white acrylic. 

 Next up is the art tags using craft and coloring in with colored pencils and I took endorsements a very easy one layer art tag nothing fancy but just a lot of fun using the same Stamp set again.

 Here's the first set of projects notecards, art tags and a journal page all use in the blue and white and black theme. 

This is an art hymn page using some gelatos, if you haven't used these I'm telling  run to the store and get yourself some they are awesome they don't bleed through the pages. 

here is my bible journal page, again same set, one more in the variety of ways to use your stamps if you can't afford a lot then these large sets are the way to go they usually have both line and bold stamps, sentiments and some accent design elements. They are so reasonably priced if you join the monthly membership.  

Last project is my planner pages decorated using Unity stamps, stickers , and most times washi tape but didn't need any here, colored with prisma pencils.  Used distress inks for Stamping.  If you are inspired to create any of these projects be sure to share on the Unity Facebook page.  Today is your last chance to leave a comment on the blog post for your chance to win a grab bag of stamps from Unity Stamp Company, good luck to you all.  Thank you for spending some time with me this week.  I hope you enjoy every minute you can steal away to create whatever inspires you and bless others with your creations .  Happy Stamping, blessings, Michelle 

GIU-Growin in Unity-Day 1

 My unity week is finally here. I'm so excited to participate in this unity sponsored event. This week I'll be showing original  designs using Unity stamps of course.   There will be several differen types of projects. I will be showing cards, tags, a journal page, a special project, hymn art, Bible journaling, and a planner page. I've spent some time creating a wide variety of styles, techniques and colors covering, hopefully, something for everyone.  Thank you for following along this week, I appreciate you spending your time here. I hope you will be inspired to go and make your own 

 creations. Thank you to the Unity Stamp company for giving us a platform to come together as a "community to encourage each other and have a lot of fun. Leave a comment on each of the post each day this week to be in the running for a chance of winning a grab bag of 25 stamps from the Unity Stamp Company.   There will be two winners.  Be sure to check out the other growing in unity posts that hAve been previously put up and any others currently running. Also, there is a ton of inspiration on the Facebook Unity page, the current challenge and of course their website and blog where there are plenty of tips and techniques. 

 

This super cute  owl stamp is the WIB – 104 "you're the sweetest".   It was an itty bitty.   I used  Stampin' Up! pool party card stock and then I used a soft orange to complement the blue color. I like to add details with the embellishments.   Embellishments from Michaels and Hobby Lobby.  Of course it does make it slightly bulkier for mailing but it still works.

,

 Let's not forget the inside of the card it's just as important to keep the fun going when they open the card up I like to decorate the inside along with writing a special note.   Again the details; the washi tape, the pretty paper and the doily.  

Don't forget to include a special handmade by you and sign your work.  The back of the card is also a stamp from Unity. 

Can you imagine getting this pretty decorated envelope in the mailbox instead of an ugly white bill. The excitement to open this beautiful decorated envelope I just think it's such a cute little image looks like the owl has had  her portrait taken with the filmstrip stamp also from Unity.   They really are just so so cute .  If you were inspired by this blogpost card and/or envelope to  make a creation of your own please share it on the Facebook unity page so we can all be encouraged. Well have fun Stamping away,  see you tomorrow right here with another blog post will be waiting for you.  Blessings Michelle.
