Growing in Unity {Day 1}

 Hello crafty friends! I am so super excited to be the Growing in Unity girl this week! I have been looking forward to sharing my love for Unity Stamp Company! I have been collecting Unity Stamps for over 12 years. I have to admit, while I sat in front of my Unity collection, I did have a hard time deciding which stamps were going to get used in my projects for this week as I love them all. It is kind of like trying to pick your favorite child {My kids do not believe me, but they are all my favorite}!

I decided that I was going to start out the week with my first stamp set from Unity. When I purchased the Cuter Than Most stamp set 12 years ago, it came in a brown organza bag. Over the years, I built up my stash and truth be told, red rubber is my favorite. It just stamps the best in my humble opinion. So let me share my project for today using the Cuter than Most stamp set.

I made a shaker mini slimline card and three Halloween treat bags with the monsters on the tags . These little monsters are just so stinking adorable and so fun to color. 

This shaker card was super easy to make. I blended Pumice Stone distress ink over a spiderweb stencil on grey cardstock. Then, I die cut a square out of it and added acetate behind the cardstock to cover the square. I stamped the sentiment on the white card base and adhered my first little monster that I stamped, colored and fussy cut. I did want to add, when I colored in this little monster, I drew spots on him using a 0.5 black Copic Multiliner. 

Then, I sprinkled a little bit of black sequins over him for the shaker element. Next, I wrapped black and white twine around the grey panel. I added foam tape and adhered it to my white card base. To finish the card, I added a black frame around the shaker part.

These little bags were so fun to make! I used the MFT Boo Bag die and some patterned paper I had in my stash for them. To make the tags, I used a lawn fawn tag die and grey cardstock. I blended Pumice Stone distress ink over the spider web stencil on the tags. Then, I popped up the little monsters that I had colored and fussy cut on foam tape. I used the other sentiment from the set for one of the tags and die cut the letters for the other two. Then, I tied black and white twine to the tags and attached them to the back using cute little stationary clips.
