Growing in Unity - Card-making/Rubberstamping

 For today's card I am using the set called: Heart Mode: Activated. Isn't he adorable??

I colored the image with alcohol markers. 

 I used a rectangle die to cut it out but as you can see in the picture below the die will leave a corner cut off:

 I really wanted this die and this size so I glue a piece of cardstock to the back:

 Then I cut with the die. You can see the joining seam if you look real close but the reality is -- no one else is going to notice the repair! I do this all the time. I would rather do a repair than not use what I created the way I wanted. 

 I added adhesive foam to the back and attached to a card panel with a strip of patterned paper that also came from Unity Stamp Company. 

 I wanted to add some black splatter paint to give it a slight grudge look. I didn't want speckles on his face so I covered it with a piece of paper.

 I added a sentiment from a sheet that came from Unity Stamp Company. I love that they give us so many options to make our projects look wonderful.

I really hope you have enjoyed my time here as the Growing in Unity Girl of the Week!

Growing in Unity - Card-making/Rubberstamping

My other side gig is volunteering as a transport driver for wildlife.Baby season is upon us now and I get an increase of calls for sick, injured, or orphaned animals that need help and they help to get there. When I saw this stamp for the first time, I knew I had to have it. The fawn and the bunny play an important part of my spring every year. It is called "Nestled Hearts."

For this stamp I used a brown ink as the base color because fawns, bunnies, and the nest are all primarily brown in real life. 

 

I added colors to the floral pieces and a little darker brown to define the animals a little more using colored pencils.

 I chose a nested die set and picked Three sizes --

The smallest of the dies I used to cut the image. Next I cut a colored pieces of paper to be a border, I chose light pink.  The third size is for the card base. I picked the size closest to A2 (4.25 x 5.5 inches) and cut 2 of those. 

I glued the image piece to the top of the pink piece.

I scored one of the card base pieces at 1/2" from the top. 

 I added glue to the top part above the score line and placed the other piece of the same size on it. This is not our card base.

 I adhered the pink piece with the image piece to the top of the card base and added a few sequins for sparkle. 

I decided that I didn't want any sentiment on the card front.I chose a quote from a sheet from Unity Stamp Company to add to the inside of the card. All of these on the sheet go perfectly with it.

Growing in Unity - Card-making/Rubberstamping

 I try to make at least one card suitable for Christmas/winter a week. This week it is this one. I used the stamp called "Snowmie" and isn't he the cutest???

For this card, the design is colored with alcohol markers. The sentiment stamped in black and both pieces are cut out with scissors.

The background paper I think is from Unity also but I couldn't find it on their site.I inked the edges in a similar color and mounted on a a dark gray panel. 

 The snowman and the sentiment were adhered with foam adhesive to give it dimension.
