Do you love books?
I love books. I used to read physical books all day long and late into the night. Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone. Then, my day job cut into my reading time. Because you have to get up in the morning and actually get somewhere on time. Adulting is tough sometimes. Once I found audiobooks from the library, away I went again. I listen to them in the morning while getting ready and as I drive to work. I just love stories. All kinds. There is something about the stories in books that are so very magical. So different from movies. The new February 2021 sentiment kit from Unity Stamp Company is perfect for the book lover in your life. Or anyone really. They are very versatile images and so many lovely sentiments in this kit.

The Cards
What? How fabulous is that girl… trying to carry all those books home. I relate to her so much. Whether it is all the things I’m trying to carry in real life or how many actual books I want to read. Life is a balancing act. In more ways than one. It pairs perfectly with the Small Details background stamp. It has that bookish feel. Luckily the words are general enough they could be used for any occasion. Lucky or planned. Hmmmmmm. Haha.
A birthday card for the book reader in your life? Yes, please. I also love how fabulously general this image is. Great for all generations. It is classic and yet specific. A wonderful image for all. Again I paired it with the Small Details background stamp and place it in a perfect reusable layout. I come back to this design over and over again.
I decided to get a little playful with this layout. I took those books and created a repeat pattern. Easy to do by stamping it in over and over again on kraft cardstock. I added just a hint of color with the red. Just some fun patterns with the washi tape and then a bit of red from the flowers and sequins. I love when you can buy one stamp set and use it in so many different ways. Hope this inspires you to try different layouts with your stamps. Thanks for joining me today. I hope you are inspired by today’s project. If you create something, I’d love to see it. Join us in the Unity Show & Tell Facebook group to share your card and tag me.
