GIU - Day 2: Tiles

Hello everyone!! I'm so excited to be the Growing In Unity Girl this week!! I will be sharing my creations using Unity Stamps this week till Friday.

For today, I made a card with tiling. Here is the card:

I stamped the floral branch stamp from the Get it Before They’re Hex-a-gone Unity stamp set repeatedly on a white glossy card stock with blue ink. Then I cut the card stock into small squares and inked the edges of the squares with blue ink. I arranged the squares on blue card stock layered on white card. I love this stamp!

For the sentiment, I used the sentiment stamp "Strength, Love and Beauty" from the Everything resides in Hope stamp set from Unity Stamps. The flower is from the floral branch stamp. I inked the edge of the tag, layered it over blue card stock and used a blue ribbon to hag it.

Hope you liked it!!

Please leave your thoughts and comments! I will pick 1 random winner from all the comments left on the 5 days, to receive 2 itty bitty's of their choice. How awesome is that! You have until Sep 28 midnight EST to comment and I will announce the winner on Monday, Sep 29. Thanks for stopping by.

Calendar 2014 - Part 3

Here is the 3rd part of the desk calendar I made for my husband.

For the month of July, I used small punches to form a frame around the verse and the calendar.

Here is a closer look at the frame.

Satisfied with the result of my first trial of tiling, I decided to do it again with a different patterned paper from Itsy Bitsy. I added faux stitching for added effect.

For the month of April, I used a stencil from Itsy Bitsy and colored it with sketch pen.

For the month of May, I tried tiling with patterned paper from Itsy Bitsy for the first time. I've been wanting to try tiling for a long time and I'm quite satisfied with this result.

For the month of June, I used a stencil from Itsy Bitsy with glitter pen.

From a different angle.
