Getting started - GIU day #4

 Hello!

Today's card is a special one. A darling image and sentiment from the set Once the Story Opens. All the sentiments on this stamp set are special. I had to have it. I went "old school" and colored the image with regular colored pencils and combined it with already cut pieces of patterned paper from my stash to help with the cause of making space for new paper :) I added Glossy Accent to the glasses for a shiny touch.

Not so Scary Wednesday! GIU day 3

Hello!

Halloween season is gone but this little monster is cute all year round. I just can't with the cuteness and the coordinating patterned papers are perfect. The stamp set's name is Monster Mayhem and the coordinating paper pack has the same name, Monster Mayhem. I paper pieced the image with one of the papers and that way I combined those two iconic characters that we love so much *wink, wink. I added googly eyes from my stash to add to the not so scariness. I hope you have been enjoying my cards so far this week.

Growing in Unity 2026 Day 2

 Happy Tuesday!

Today's card features a stamp set that as soon as I saw it, a name came to my mind, my brother's.

The Dad Mode - Grumpy Bunny set was definitely inspired in my brother down to the robe! He may be grumpy sometimes but he's a sweetheart! I used Copics to color the image. The patterned paper is from the paper pack Rustic Wood and the other one was in my already cut stash, so I have no idea of name/brand.

Growing in Unity 2026 Day #1

 Hi everyone:

First, thank you for visiting my blog. It has been a long while since I last posted. I'm so happy I get to do Growing in Unity this year. Although we are almost in Christmas season, I decided to make non-Christmas cards this time. I have a few birthdays coming up so I took advantage of that. For today's card, I used Douglas - Rescue Tales set. Of course I would love this set. It's a dachshund! They are adorable. If you didn't know, for the Rescue Tales line, Unity Stamp Co donates 10% of every purchase to animal welfare causes which is awesome on their part. I colored the image with Copic markers the same color of my dear fur baby Maia. The sentiment stamp is from the set Extended Celebration and the patterned papers are from a combination of the paper packs PUP-PUP For the love of a dog and Woof-Tastic.
