Unity Stamp Company

{10.8.2011} unity + authentique = a smile

October 8, 2011

I am so excited to hopping with Unity Stamp Company and Authentique Paper Today!  Their paper is amazing.  Beautiful designs, double sided and a fabulous weight.  Plus lots of goodies, embellies and UNITY FAB stamps to match.  If you didn’t start at the beginning of the hop, you will want to jump on over to the Authentique blog.

There are PRIZES to be won from both companies, so be sure to leave a comment on each blog as you hop.

I am excited to share some cards from 3 different paper collections and using this amazing Share your Smile Itty Bitty.

First up, the Glowing Collection.

I never really thought about a dress form as being spooky, but I LOVE it!  To up the spooky factor, I trimmed out a spider from the patterned paper to hang from the dress form.

Next, sticking with the holiday theme we have the Wonder Collection.

I couldn’t stop layering beautiful paper upon beautiful paper.  The stamp just blends in perfectly with the holiday theme.  I stamped it on a tag included with the paper die cuts.

And last, just a super sweet card using the Splendid Collection.

Such happy patterns.  I punched out a tag in white and stamped the dress form in black.  Popped it up and added a pretty little bow.  That fabby flower border punch is by EK Success.

Well, that is it for me.  Hope you enjoyed your visit.

I’m going to send you over to Cristine Redmond’s blog next!

  90. I really enjoy how you used a stamp in different ways. A dressform stamp makes me think of girly or glitzy, but you showed how it can be used even for Christmas! As I always say, one’s own imagination is their own limitation. Great job on your cards! Also, I’m your newest follower!
