Butterfly get well card

It's time for me to stock up on cards with everyday sentiments.  I've done several orders lately and I am out!  I have a couple stamps I'm using for the very first time.  Unity Stamps has THE best sales ever.  Period.  Plus they always send freebies.  With that in mind, I wanted to feature some freebies on this card. 

Did you know you can buy some Authenique cardstock for just .99 at Unity?  Yup.  Plus occasionally, I get bits and pieces as my freebie when I order.  This card features several coordinating pieces from Authentique.  Also, the chevron tag, twine and purple star were freebies.  Aren't these awesome?!

See the frame?  I got that half price with a Unity coupon promo code.  I'm in love with this frame called Polka.Dot.Journal.  You could do a lot with it and it's huge! The butterfly is from a kit called, Devoted.  It has several scripture quotes that come with it.  I've been wanting that kit forever and it finally went on sale at a super price that was too good to pass up.  No, I am not a sales woman for Unity, I just love their products.  Can ya tell?  Ha.  I kept the sentiment very simple because I wanted the focus to be on the frame and butterfly.  The sentiment comes from another kit called Bunches of Love...one of my favorite kits.  So there you have it.  Hope I've inspired you to give Unity a try.  Its a great community of support and friendship too as you will find out.

Deer Christmas card

Got started on an order of Christmas cards and I had permission to do whatever I wanted from the buyer.  So I pulled out a stamp I recently received from the "Merry Deerest" stamp kit that I ordered from the Unity Stamp Co.  

I started with some kraft cards and added a 4x4 doily.  I had printed out some frames in different sizes and colors with my Cricut using the Straight From The Nest cartridge and went to work.  The smaller white frame was edged with, of all things.....a mistletoe stamp roller in green ink.  Kind of gave it a cool look I think.  The larger frame was 4 1/2" and was made with red/white cardstock.  

My local craft store had a bunch of stuff 1/2 off so I picked up these faux pine branches, a pack of 10 for $1.00!  I was super excited about that.  I cut pieces from each stem so it only took me 2 stems to make 6 cards.   GOT TO USE MY NEW UNITY BOW MAKER!!  I've been wanting one of these forever and it is the best thing!  If you don't have one, get one!  It's only $5.99 and they have a video tutorial to help you out.  I was making bows lickety-split.  (And no, I am not getting paid to advertise this people, just love the products!)

So I tied the bows to the pine stem to make sure they didn't  come off because I just didn't think a glue dot would do the trick.   To finish things off, I made little tags for the bottom using the other stamp that came with the Merry Deerest kit which is the Merry and Bright sentiment.  Each one of the tags is just a little bit different whether it be different brads or a little glitter glue, etc.  

So there you have it.  Took me, oh, maybe only about 5 hours to finish....'cause I took my sweet little 'ole time but it was fun and next time, I'll have a better handle on things so it goes quicker.  Thanks for looking and I'd love a comment.  Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!
