GIU Day 4 - Blessed Christmas

Hello everyone!! Welcome to day 4 of my Growing in Unity week. This week, till Friday, I will be sharing projects that I made with Unity Stamps.

For today's project I used a non-holiday stamp for a Christmas card. When I thought of this idea, I was jumping with joy. It makes me extremely happy to stretch my stamps and use them for something they are not intended to. Here is the card:


Does this stamp look familiar? Yes! It is from the Vintage floral bicycle from Simple Peace, Love, Happy stamp set that I used yesterday. I used only the wheel part of the bicycle and embossed it with gold embossing powder. I used my embossing pen to draw a circle around it and the holder on which the ornament is attached. I embossed all these with gold embossing powder. I then colored them using my markers. I used golden color thread to 'hang' these ornaments.


The sentiment, from Unity Stamps' Unto us stamp set, is also heat embossed with gold powder. I used red card base for this card. I masked off a thin strip on the left and applied versamark ink in a thin strip and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. Then I adhered the white panel onto the card base.

How do you like this card? Please let me know in the comments.

Thanks for stopping by. Do visit me every day this week, and leave your thoughts and comments. I will pick 2 winners at the end of this week and they will win 25 random stamps from Unity!! I will pick another 3 winners and they will receive some Unity stamps from me. How awesome is that!! See you tomorrow with another new and exciting project.

This is one of the cards for Caring Hearts Card Drive.

    What a clever idea! This is a great why to get more from one stamp and who would ever think these beautiful ornaments were actually bicycle wheels! Lovely Christmas card!
