Another manic mojo Monday coming at ya! This week I decided to use my new Unity stamps for the sketch since they are the vendor spotlight at Christian Papercrafts. I used the newly release Embellished Season set for my card today. Below are the sketch and my sample.

Christian Papercrafts blog hop featuring Unity stamps

This month's vendor spotlight for Christian Papercrafts is Unity stamps. This is the first time that I have used Unity stamps and they stamp just beautifully. I chose to make a CAS card today because I am in the need of some thank you cards that are not bulky and easy to mail. The new Simple Blessings stamp set fit the bill perfectly!



I stamped the 3 beautiful leaf images onto Paper Temptress Cryogen white cardstock. If you are going to make a CAS then choose a cardstock that can stand well on it's own. Each of the leaves were die cut using my mega curved rectangle nestabilities and then mounted with pop dots onto the chocolate cardstock strip. I stamped "thanks" at the bottom and accented the bottom with 2 scor lines that I made with my scor-pal.

Supplies:
stamps- Unity stamps Simple Blessings set
CS- Paper Temptress cryogen white, pop tones hot fudge
accessories- scor-pal, nesties


Make sure you check out the rest of the gorgeous creations from the CPC design team, they are truly inspiring!

This new line consists of 4 characters: Emma, Luke, Owen & Caitlyn. Every few months we will release a new series with a different theme. Each series will only be available for a limited time! The first series is called Birthday Party in honor of SNSS 2nd birthday :).
