Good morning! I’m back today for the weekly Monday feature for me here on the Unity Stamp Company Blog! So happy to be featuring the AMAZING Unity Kit of the Month set on Mondays here on the blog. These kits are always AMAZING, and they hold a special place in my heart since they were the first thing I purchased from Unity, and what got me hooked on Unity to begin with. Who DOESN’T love getting a happy package of stamps in the mail every month, right? And these kits just keep getting better and better. You can read all the details and info to sign up HERE, and see this month’s kit as well.
Today I’m sharing my first couple of cards using the fabulous new May 2020 Kit of the Month! I love the graduation theme images in the kit – and while this year is definitely looking very different for our graduates, it is still a huge milestone that definitely needs celebrating however possible! So having some cards ready to go is going to be very important – don’t you think? And I always love a good two for one card design – so you know I had to make two versions by reversing the colors, right?
Here is the video for this week sharing how I created this card:
Watching the video is the easiest way to see it, but these cards have a bit of dimension by fussy cutting out parts of the image to pop up on foam adhesive and add some depth. I also used some gray Copic markers to outline the image on the base layer – this adds a bit to the dimensional feel as well.
It is also hard to see in the photos, but there is also a double layer of clear embossing powder covering the entire image – this adds some fabulous shine and additional dimension!
Can you see it a bit in this next photo? I also added a black jewel to the top of the graduation cap. It’s the little things, right?
I can’t decide which version I like best – which one is your favorite?
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope to see you back here next week – have a wonderful week!
