Unity Stamp Company & My Sweet Petunia Blog Hop

HEY! We’re co-hopping today with My Sweet Petunia—YEET!

Guess what?! Unity will be giving away two Unity filled prize packs and My Sweet Petunia is giving away a $60 gift certificate. Read through my entire post to see how you can have a chance at getting your hands on a prize.

I’ve got a couple of projects to share with you for the hop today. The first one is a chipboard tag using the “Warm & Cozy Season” stamp set by Angie Blom.


I live/love to photo-piece her creations and make something totally personalized and mine. Try using a photo of yourself or someone else and pictures of real-life clothing and accessories. You have to get a little creative using Photoshop or a similar computer application but it’s so worth it once you get the hang of it. Instead of paper-piecing, give photo-piecing a try. I’d love to see what you come up with. Of note, I do like to use my Silhouette to fussy-cut the image and tag/tag pieces.

Here’s another perspective of MY chipboard tag.


Here’s a look-see and link for this NEW Unity stamp set:


Here’s another project I did with a NEW Itty Bitty, entitled, “Special Delivery Mouse” by Lisa Glanz.


This is such an adorable little stamp. Oh my goodness! I used the image to adorn a tag for a little bag holding some little goodies to give to friends or family. To color, I used Derwent Inktense Pencils. The bag and tag were cut using my Silhouette.

Here’s a look-see and link for the NEW Itty Bitty:

Unity & Beth Duff Designs Blog Hop!!

Hey—Happy Thursday in October!

I’m SO lucky to be participating in the Unity & Beth Duff Designs Blog Hop today with a chipboard tag adorned with one of the NEW Beth Duff releases, “Choose What to Become”.

Here’s a peek at my chipboard tag!


Of note, I used the flower from the kit to make a dimensional embellishment for my tag by fussy-cutting the stamped image three times using my Silhouette, scrunching them in my hands to add texture, and then adhering the embellishment to the tag using a jewel brad.

To add a little more interest to the sentiment, I underlined parts of it using a black Copic multiliner.

Lastly, I decided to add a little punched heart at the base of the stamped wreath.

The crown is from a digital scrapbook paper kit I got a few years back and I thought it just went well with the sentiment, etc.


Here’s a peek at the entire kit, “Choose What to Become”.
I LOVE IT!

Unity & Brutus Monroe Blog HOP!!

Hey—Happy Thursday! Today I’m participating in one of the most-anticipated hops of my crafty life and am sharing an 8-1/2-x-11-inch scrapbook layout as part of the Unity & Brutus Monroe Blog Hop. YES!

Here’s a peek at the layout using all four of the NEW background stamps rolling out for today’s hop.


I used Spilled Paint, Barn Wall, Hit the Brick, and Dance with Denim on my layout above simply by stamping them onto cardstock and using my Silhouette to cut out the various circles on the layout and strips that make the border on the bottom of the layout. You could also utilize a punch if that’s what you have in your crafty arsenal. Of note, the strips were adhered to my layout using a zig-zag stitch.
To save time and energy, but mostly to be happy with the end results, I used a sketch I found online at https://www.studiocalico.com/blog. They have quite a few sketches I use from time to time.

The selfie of my daughter and me in the layout was taken during a concert at the Ironstone Amphitheatre in Murphys, California, this past August when we saw Bush, The Cult, and Stone Temple Pilots. We had a blast together. It was a great show and a beautiful venue to relax and sip wine. I’m definitely going there again. Check it out if you live nearby.
Here’s a close-up of the layout.


These background stamps are so versatile. You can use them on all of your craft projects including cards, mixed media canvases, tags—you name it. I really don’t know which one is my favorite. That’s why I used them all.

LOOK!!
We have FOUR amazing Unity filled prize packages WORTH $100 each to give away. Leave a comment on EACH hopper’s blog listed below for your chance to win. PLUS join us for our Instagram (@unitystampco) hop. Leave a comment on each of the hopper’s instagram posts for an EXTRA chance to win.
