[9.25.14] it’s Unity Thursday

Unity Thursday

Time for some more THURSDAY fun with the Unity design team.  If you haven’t been hopping along, all the action starts on the Unity blog.  There’s always fun stuff going on.

We have some fun releases this week.  I’m using the stamp kit available with the bag purchase.  Perfect for cards or pocket albums… let’s get ready for fall and Thanksgiving.

I stamped the leaf background on kraft paper and then blended some distress inks over top.  I used my Pixscan mat with my Cameo to cut the sentiment out.  Quick and easy, LOVE that.

Next, I have a card using the current KOM: Happy, Thankful & Blessed.

Ack, nothing like last minute.  You only have a few more days to sign up for the monthly kit club and have this beauty arrive at your door.  The next kit will release October 1st.  I used my Pixscan Cameo mat again to cut that gorgeous flower out.  LOVE that machine.  I colored the flower with some Copics and a hint of silver glitter from a Wink of Stella pen.  I paired it with the sentiment from He’s a Wordy Buck.
