Cabin Fever Challenge


A Wet Nose & Wildflowers

If you happen to live anywhere where it gets cold chances are...you've got cabin fever. 

The SIP challenge will help you get out of the cabin and into the warm sunny days of summer. Think warm thoughts and play along.

Materials: Unity ...so very much....stamp by Phillis Harris
SU stamp...Flowering Fields
Unity Me at tag
Prisma colored pencils
SU washi tape
Twine
Old brown paper bag for mini tag

How cute is this dog and it's girl??!! Masking them and adding the flowers gave the scene depth and season. The washi tape helped to fill in the rest of the kraft tag adding even more color. An old thin paper bag served its second purpose and became a second tag.

I hope this tag makes you feel a dogs wet nose and smell summer wildflowers.

Stained Glass Heart


(Winner of the Washi is.....Skrapr22!) Please contact me via email @ jeaniehays00@yahoo.com with your mailing address to claim prize.

No matter where you find stained glass..... 
in an old Church or a Victorian home; you find art, craftsmanship and beauty. 

#MYHEART
by Unity Stamp Co.

Stamped with SU archival ink on vellum this. Unity heart is perfect for coloring and turning into stained glass. 

Flipping over the vellum after stamping and then coloring with ink markers on the reverse side is what gives this card the look of transparency. Placing white paper behind the heart gives the colors a chance to shine! 

Simple and easy! 



For the background I used kraft paper with the same heart stamped in SU crumb cake ink. A piece of SU sugarplum paper frames the heart.


Using a ribbon punch made threading the ribbon through the paper with the sentiment easy. A little lace ribbon added a bit of softness to contrast the sharp glass (so to speak).


I hope you've enjoyed this stained glass heart! I'd love to hear your feedback. 

Please leave a comment and then hop to the next blog!

I will be giving away a roll of washi tape to one winner. Please check back with me in one week to see the winner announced right here and posted on the Unity Show & Tell fb page.
