Hello friends! It's my last day as Growing in Unity girl for Unity Stamp Co. My daughter's favorite board book is What Should we Do with the Boo Hoo Baby so I won't be all boo hoo hoo because truth is this week was so much fun... but I'm not sorry to see it end because it doesn't end!! We have the Unity Facebook page, Pinterest, and Friends with Flair every Friday for inspiration and camaraderie. :)
This is kind of going to be a show-and-tell kind of post but with more showing and less telling, 'cause I know you all have more important things to do:
Mini cards; thought these might be a fun thing to tuck in a teacher gift for Christmas:

This stamp is completely underwhelming if you do not emboss it. Know what I also hate am allergic to, besides coloring? Heat embossing, though I did it anyway 'cause I like you guys... Oh, and loose glitter too. Did I tell you my daughter's Halloween costume was sparkly and shed glitter? Guess who is still cleaning up glitter eight days later... I'm not sure what happened with the color here. The green appears much less neon-like in real life.

Then I thought I might try it on the kraft. My sentiment inks did not get fabulous coverage so it's slightly underwhelming. Love this big branch though!!

Thank you for visiting me! Unity will give two Itty Bitty's to a winner from the comments I received this week, so go back to the previous posts and comment if you haven't already done so - better odds are a good thing! And then go shop, cause those new punny stamps are AMAZING. :)

Well you have all of the holiday themed cards working in your hands, great array of uses here, thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYou ended the week with a great selection of cards--thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic cards to close out your GIU week! I am also allergic to loose glitter! I will use glitter glue but avoid loose as much as possible! Thanks for a week of amazing cards, its been a fun week! God bless!!
ReplyDeleteWow. All wonderful creations...also just scanned your week of GUI...they are all great projects! You've been BUSY.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards especially the mini ones.
ReplyDeleteI like the bough idea. I need to simplify my Christmas cards because they take WAY too long to make. And your cards show that simple can be gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Christmas card! TFS
ReplyDeleteSweet set of cards, Jen.
ReplyDeleteLovely Christmas cards. I like the bough image a lot. It will have to go on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteLove the mini cards and your other cards too! I have the Christmas Bough set also and will have to try embossing it! Love the ornament from the set (had really forgotten about it!) and need to use it like you did on your mini card... so cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun GIU week! I've enjoyed seeing all your Unity creations and look forward to more with Friends With Flair, etc!

Super cute snowmen! And I like the ornament stamp too. All the cards are very cute.
ReplyDeleteAwesome set of cards!
ReplyDeleteI love your bough cards -- and you're right. It just NEEDS to be embossed. All of your cards are great. Thanks for a terrific week. I've enjoyed my daily visits to your blog.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! Glad I stopped by to look at them!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love the embossed bough...you did a great job with it! Would never suspect that you hate heat embossing because it's one of my favorite things to do!

ReplyDeleteCute Cards! Enjoyed your week at GIU!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. I love that Christmas branch.
ReplyDeleteI love all of the Christmas cards. I thought that the Christmas tree stamp was probably brighter green than you thought. We are always harder on ourselves. I know that I am! :) Hugs~Patti
