Unity Day 4

Oh my gosh, this week is nearly gone!!!  Other than scrapbooking, card making, and photography, my oldest and dearest hobby/friend is reading books.  Both of my parents, my brother and my sister were teachers.  I learned to read before I started school and continue reading today when I get a chance!  This stamp from Unity called Chapter One is one of my favorites.  And guess what's my favorite beverage?  Coffee!  So to combine both my favorites into one stamp, well of course I had to have it!

Don't you just love this stamp?!! I sure do!  It's perfect for a teacher, an avid reader, a book club member, a coffee lover....well you get the idea, you can use it for anything!  Stamped and colored on plain white card stock, the left hand edge cut with a Heartfelt creations border die and the right edge cut with a My Favorite Things die, I then wrapped some brown twine randomly around it.  This was mounted on some printed background paper and then put on a basic chocolate brown cardstock base.

 I added a wooden button pre-stamped with "love" glued in the corner, and it was complete. 

 Don't forget to leave me a comment on my blogs....Unity will award two people a prize from the comments on my blogs this week~awesome!!!

My First Blog

Creating cards has become not only a relaxing hobby, it has made me jump into the social network of blogging to be able to compete with other card designers.  This first blog is about a card I recently made to be used in my Sunday School in our outreach ministry. 

This is a pair of pears hanging from a simple branch that I stamped on 110lb Hammermill print paper.  I colored the image with copic markers using YG01, YG61, YG93, YG95, YG 97, YG99, R20, E55.  The pear stamp is from Unity Stamp company and is called Sending Kindness and designed by Gracielle Designs.  The sentiment also from the same stamp company and designer is called The Vine.  I then used the Spellbinders Postage Stamp dies to cut out both the image and the sentiment using foam tape to adhere to a plain 4.25x5.5 white card base.  Finishing off the card with a simple sheer brown ribbon and tying it in a knot.  Simple yet elegant, and hoping its recipient knows it was made with love.
