GIU 8/28/2024

It's the middle of the week already!  If you are coming back for another Unity Stamp Company Growing in Unity post, you are in the right place.  

For my GIU week, I decided to challenge myself to make projects using just two kits.  I love the variety of stamps that come in each Kit of the Month.  I also tend to choose more simple sentiments, so I paired this KOTM with a kit that comes with two sentiment dies and matching sentiments.

Today's technique is partial stamping.  Can you count how many partial stamps I used on this card?

Did you count 3 or 4? I'd consider either the correct answer, depending on whether you count fussy cutting.  I used a heart stamp to make a scalloped border.  One of my favorite techniques is to make backgrounds out of things that aren't intended as backgrounds.  Then I stamped the bowl image on the card and stamped a second one on extra cardstock which I fussy cut after I colored it with Copics.  I attached the colored bowls with foam tape.  Finally, I used two partial stamps to make the sentiment flag.

Have you tried to stretch your stamps this week?  Tell me about it in the comments below and remember that each comment is a chance to win a prize from Unity!

Happy Wednesday!
