On Whisper White CS, I gold embossed the Sympathy stamp from the “Regal Greetings” (Follow the link to get yours,) stamp set.

Day 4 of my “GIU Girl” week for Unity Stamp Co.

Good morning Friends,

Today is nice and chilly here it’s 46 F degrees. I had to actually put the heat on get the chill out of the room. 🙂

I know, I know most of you all live up  north and get to play in snow.

House keeping:

Thank you for your visit today, if this is your first time to my blog/ GIU week, then let me inform you how you can win 2 itty bitty stamps from Unity. All you have to do is make a comment each day, at the end of the week I will run the Random.org thingy and a winner will be chosen. The winner gets to pick out 2 itty bitty sets, you will tell me what sets you want and Unity will mail them to you! Cool Right!

Now onto

Day 4: card

I have used the itty bitty stamp sets “Live your Art” and “Beautiful Disaster” (Follow the links to get yours.)

The “Beautiful Disaster” stamp was colored in with Galetos, then misted with a water mister. The “Live your Art” stamp was stamped with SU’s ink Cool Caribbean. I used teal staples to staple down the Live your Art words.

I used a Spellbinder die for the circles. One circle is Pool Party CS, and also Whisper White CS.

Behind the image is a strip of card stock that I created by using various stamps from 2 different stamp sets: “Music of my Heart“ and  “Sing a New Song.“ You might remeber post day 2, I told you all how I made the one strip behind the main image? Well this is another strip of that “made” paper. I cut it to the size I wanted then ran it through a paper crimper. Then added some of the pink Galeto to the paper, to tie it all in together.

Behind that, I created some more paper. With Multi-Media grade paper I sprayed “Fire Works” spry ink over a doily, it made a really really cool impression, however it ended up getting covered. I really like the Fire Works brand sprays, because they come out sparkly. The blue and white Baker’s Twin is from Pizzazz-a-Plenty. (When I just wen there to get you the link, I noticed she is having a BOGO sale!)

The 3 embllies are “In Color Boutique Details #130938” from Stampin’ Up!

Day 3: card

I have used the Unity stamp set called “Regal Greetings” (Follow the link to get yours.)

On a sheet of Whisper White CS I stamped various stamps from the set all over it in various directions. Then with a 1 1/4 inch punch I punched out 12 squares and glued them to my Crisp Cantaloupe CS. The ink is also Crisp Cantaloupe. I have also used Crisp Cantaloupe stretch trim,  from Stampin’ Up on the sentiment. With pop dots I popped up the crown, and senti. And added a rhinestone from SU on the crown.

Here is a side view just so you can see it’s protruded.

Here is a preview of the set I used:

“Regal Greetings“

To me this is a fun way to make a card, because you get to use a few different stamps, and just stamp them all over your paper and see what happens when you punch them out.

Day 2 of my “GIU Girl” week for Unity Stamp Co.

Good morning Friends,

Today is day 2 of my GIU week. ( GIU= Growing In Unity.) Stay with me this week and you will have a chance at (2) two itty bitty stamp sets of your choice from Unity stamp co. Click Here to shop the itty bitty stamp sets.

Day 2:

My main stamp used is “Bloom & Simplify” the artist is Angie Blom for Unity stamp Co. I like Angie Bloom’s style! She has more stamps set for Unity click here to check them all out! I have colored my image with Prismacolor pencils. I stamped the sentiment and image with Chocolate Chip ink, I sponged the edges with Baked Brown Sugar ink from SU.

I created a collage sheet using the music stamp from “Music of my Heart,” 2 stamps from the set “Sing a New Song,” and the strip of words from the “Bloom & Simplify” set. I know I did all that and you can’t really see it, but my strip turned out pretty cool looking I think. The other strip of paper behind the main image is the back side of the polka dotted DSP. I added a clear button and 3 butterfly brads from SU. The burlap is from JoAnn’s Fabrics.
