Happy World Card-Making Day Everyone!!!


Good morning!!! I know that there are tons of events happening on the web today in honor of World CardMaking Day so thank you for taking the time to drop by my little corner of the web. I have a couple of cards to share using the stamp that Unity Stamp Co. is giving away through my blog, Worn Inspiration from the Lifetime of Inspiration kit...

All you have to do to have a chance to win this gorgeous stamp is leave a comment here and tomorrow morning, I will draw a random winner. If you don't have a blog, be sure to leave your full name and email (or if you don't want to leave your email, just make sure to check back to see if you won!)

To show you how beautiful this stamp is, I used it on a couple of very simple cards along with the new sentiments from AJ's new kit, Simply Said, that was designed specifically for today. I adore this kit...great sentiments that are different from other ones that you see all the time and are perfect to use on the outside or the inside of so many cards.

Supplies used:
*Unity Stamp Co. Worn Inspiration stamp
*Unity Stamp Co. Simply Said kit (inside sentiment)
*K&Co. papers
*Martha Stewart ribbon
*Marvy Uchida Oval punches



In addition to the giveaways on the DT blogs (yes, there are more so go find all the dt blog-candy and comment!!!), there are also a couple of other promotions that Unity is doing. The first has to do with the World CardMaking Day challenges on the Splitcoast Forum. There are going to be a total of seven of them.


If you complete them all using Unity stamps, that makes you eligible to


win three Unity Stamp Kits...


Sentiments O' Simple, Simply Said, Something Within, and {b} Handle!!!


Here is the thread that will post links to all of the challenges when they are posted...WCMD Master Thread on SCS.



Supplies used:*Unity Stamp Co. Worn Inspiration, *Unity Stamp Co. Simply Said, *Bazzill Cardstock, *American Crafts paper (black & white), *Cuttlebug Swiss Dot Embossing Folder, *Marvy Uchida Oval punches, *Fiskars Threading Water border punch, *eyelet trim, *black inkpad


Unity is also sponsoring a card drive for the troops. Here are the details that I copied from AJ's post about it:


World Card Making Day is HERE!!!!
