Hello everyone! I had the pleasure of being the Unity Stamp Company Growing in Unity gal this week. I posted my creations to Facebook because there are more people over there to see them, but I wanted to capture them here as well.

Happy
Monday! It’s my GIU week, a chance for me to share some recent
creations and a chance for you to win some store credit to Unity by
being a lucky commenter. Two winners will be drawn at the end of the
week.
For today’s card, I wanted
a beach background for an anniversary card for a couple who married on
the beach. I didn’t exactly have one, so I selectively inked “Realize”
to create my background and layered die cuts of cardstock and mulberry
paper to finish off the card. The sentiment is from “Love is a Magical
Thing.”

Happy
Wednesday! Today’s card combines several Unity kits: Party Mix, Slowly
Turning Classic, and Urban Chevron. Papers are by Basic Grey, so you
know they have been in my stash for ages!
If
you haven’t noticed the Christy Tomlinson stamps at Unity, please go
check them out. The Urban Chevron stamp is one of my all time favorite
backgrounds. Here I stamped it both vertically and horizontally to add
additional visual texture to my background.
We are all always looking for masculine card designs. I hope this gives you some inspiration!
Remember
that at the end of the week, I’ll be drawing the names of two lucky
commenters to win a $20 Unity store credit. Thanks, Unity, for
sponsoring the GIU program!

Happy
Thursday! Today’s card features a sentiment from “Grateful for All” and
a whole bunch of patterned paper scraps from a 6x6 pad!
The
gems on this card are from what was essentially a bedazzling kit for
fabric, but I love how low profile they are for cards to make it through
the mail using only one postage stamp. What are some items you have
used on cards that weren’t originally intended for cards?
Remember to leave comments on my GIU posts this week for your chance to win a $20 store credit from Unity!

Happy
Friday! It’s my last day as the Growing in Unity poster, so be sure to
leave a comment here and on my four earlier posts this week. Unity
generously provides a $20 store credit to two random commenters each
week.
“Coolest Chick Ever” takes
center stage in today’s card. I just love the sassy chickens in this
set! These paper flowers were all the rage 15 years ago and I wouldn’t
mind seeing them make a comeback because they are such an easy way to
bring some texture to a card. Is there an older supply or technique
you’d like to see regain popularity?
Thanks for your kind comments this week.
I hope you enjoyed coming along for the ride this week. Looking back, I think it's clear I love crafting with teals and oranges!
