Showing love for my country
and for Unity!
Day#3
Day#3
For this growing in Unity day I wanted to challenge myself to make something NOT-A- CARD. Well, I ended up making a card anyways...along with a NOT-A-CARD! Ha!
Unity is America
is an amazing kit! Lots and lots of patriotic stamps in that kit!
Love Nicole Kraft paper stack gives this card a kind of rustic feel. Some old dazzling details splattered added much needed sparkle!
Next up...the NOT-A-CARD!
Before it became NOT-A-CARD...
I used 2 very old Unity fireworks stamps that have been long retired for this bag topper. The fireworks are gold and silver embossed with red and gold star 3d embellishments in the center. The Freedom stamp is from the Unity In America kit.
NOT-A-CARD...Ta da!!!
Stapled to a cellophane bag filled with patriotic chocolates makes it NOT-A-CARD!
10 seconds after I took this pic my kids jumped on the chocolate! Such is my life. Lol. I must impose a mommy tax!
Such is America! Well, not Delaware. That's why I've migrated here. But that won't stop me from teaching my kids about taxes right. I mean, they gotta know how the rest of the US does it. Ha! I'm gonna go take and eat some chocolate now.
Be sure to leave a comment and you just might win a Unity grab bag!
Awesome patriotic card and I love that beautiful bag topper! Love all the sparkle and shine!

DeleteLoved the treat topper and your card.
ReplyDeleteOkay...these are awesome! LOVE ♥
ReplyDeleteLove your Not a Card! My kids would tear right into them too, God Bless them.
ReplyDeleteOooooooo.... Chocolate!!!! Both projects are great! Love the coloring!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorites from the week. Lovely card!
ReplyDeleteLove your patriotic theme cards (and ATC’s)! And chocolate?, what a combo!
ReplyDeleteOh ! I love both of your creations. On the card, I love your choice of Kraft color for the base, and the white stars (white on Kraft = great combo !). And the little “notecard” with the sentiment is perfect! Yep, that’s a cool card. And the bag is great too ! Very professional looking that’s why I vote yes on the mommy tax ! 😂 Oh, just a little detail, as a French, I didn’t understand your “remark” on Delaware, I’m assuming this is tax-related ?
