GIU DAY FIVE -...Love you Dearly

Hey Crafty Crafters!

I am So Excited to get a turn to be a GIU- Growing in Unity Girl! :) It is a real honor to get the chance to share a few lines and a few images, about THE BEST Red Rubber Out There, Unity Stamp Company. Unity is a Made To Order stamp company, with the most incredible art that consistently turns my head! They currently feature four amazing monthly memberships and, not just a breathtaking inventory of designs to offer, but each month they have irresistible new releases. And, Unity carries a wonderful selection of crafty supplies as well.

I am blessed to say that many years back, I had been subscribed to these two amazing membership- KOTM and also SMAK, which for many many years now had been loaded Each and Every Month with a plethora of beautifully designed stamps at an incredible value. 

Currently I am under the spell of all of the offerings on the membership front, the Whit Kit card kit, and the recently re-imagined Uniquely Unity by Ang Mag, and also have the backgrounds and the KOM memberships.

Here are some attempts I made with the April 2022 Sentiment Kit from Unity, created by Lisa Arana, called...Love you Dearly. Always great sentiments to use, and fun and flexible art.

And speaking of Loving so, so Dearly, yesterday the oldest of my two sons became a father, and that made me a grandma... Thank you Chris and Whitney for this amazing gift, I can't wait to meet him IRL and love on Sawyer and all of you when you get home from the hospital!! 

I'd love to hear from you, so please make a comment below to be in the drawing from all entries this week, for sweet treat from Unity, you may win one of two Unity gift cards. I Love to Win...Good Luck to you!

GIU DAY FOUR - The Happiest Wishes

Hey Crafty Crafters!

I am So Excited to get a turn to be a GIU- Growing in Unity Girl! :) It is a real honor to get the chance to share a few lines and a few images, about THE BEST Red Rubber Out There, Unity Stamp Company. Unity is a Made To Order stamp company, with the most incredible art that consistently turns my head!

My go to must have each month is Unity's Sentiment Kits...you need them, every single one! I absolutely love them, and love watching all of the videos that Lisa Arana puts out,, showcasing fun things to do with them. What is amazing about the monthly Whit Kit subscription is that Whitney curates these kits with GORGEOUS new Stamps and stunning Paper, and then throws in other crafty goodies, so that you can try out new looks and new techniques, and the kit includes the needed tools and supplies to try them out right away. For me I think of this as Whitney helping me to spread my crafting wings. Here is an attempt I made with Unity's August 2021 Sentiment Kit by Lisa Arana, Happiest Wishes. In this little grouping, I  pulled some paper out of a yummy paper pack that I also bought a while back and haven't used yet, from First Edition FSC called Gardenia. Just some charming paper and sweet sentiment, I knew that I needed one get well and one thank you card, and suddenly I needed another get well to send off right away. I can't wait to get inky at my next paper crafting session. I have followed the inspiration from Lisa's designs and suggestions for card sets as gifts, always well received.

It is very exciting to enter the annual lottery, to have the chance to be a Growing In Unity guy or gal, I hope that You will think about trying it out for the year ahead. Even I can do it! :) Watch the GIU Facebook page late in the year for Kelli's announcement. Good Luck!

Unity November/December 2020 GIU Team - Follow-up Hop!

 Hi Unity Fans and Friends! 

So much fun to get the chance to hop as part of the Unity November/December 2020 GIU Team follow-up Hop! 

I get to share a couple of my favorites from Unity's recent releases, so first is one of two takes I did with this adorable "Aging Graze-Fully" bison. This card was a birthday wish for a sweet, nature-loving friend, who among her many 2020 adventures, had a bison sighting in the Rockies. The stamp set was released and arrived in plenty of time to create for her birthday which was this past week. This was an inspiration from a card by the Unity Design Team Member Crystal Minkler (and featured on the product page). I used papers and the burlap paper from my Whit Kit treasure trove. 

My second take is not posted but I loved pairing that bison with the Whit Kit's Rustic Farmhouse papers on a card for my son's upcoming February 13th birthday. It was a ready relief to have some great rusty metal patterned crafting paper on hand after last year's stern admonition of "NO GLITTER, EVER, MOM"...with a birthday date like his, all I can say in my defense, is that seasonally, store bought gift-bag options were very limited! :)

I just received my Unity order with the new Graciellie designs "Love Kitties" stamp set and paper pack, so here are 3 cards with slight embellishment variations (and Oh, I Do- Love Kitties, so the 2021 releases have been Ah-Maz-ing, I cannot open a cat rescue but my stamp collection will Always Have Room for One More Kitty!)  





The first card was stamped with Versafine Claire in Pinecone, not sure if it will look different in these photos than the other 2 cards, stamped in Nocturne. I delighted my sister-in-law with the Pawssible card for her, and she got to pick one to send to someone else.

For the rest and best of this hop, here is our order:
