The November Unity Stamp Company Challenge is to create holiday cards in non-traditional holiday colors.
As I went through my stash, I clearly tend to lean toward sentiments in my Unity Stamps, so I decided to create simple cards by pairing them with Gel Press Prints and Alcohol Ink Backgrounds from my stash. I loved getting them made into cards.
I started with this fun solid Gel Press print that paired perfectly with Catherine Pooler All That Jazz Ink and a sentiment from Unity Stamp Company Naughty is the New Nice.
I stamped the Santa Sentiment on a Kraft trimmed tag from my stash and paired it with a kraft card base. I embossed the background with Snowflakes and applied some direct-to-paper inking to the raised edges. I love the patina effect it achieved.
I finished with a strip of gold glitter cardstock & a little Santa Hat sticker.
When I stamped the sentiment the first time, I didn't have quite the right color, so I found a scrap of an Alcohol Ink Background that worked with it.
Next I used a Purple Alcohol Ink background to create a round card with a sentiment from Unity Stamp Company Let's Be Jolly that fit perfectly inside the smaller circle die.
I used another stamp from Let's Be Jolly with the same circle die, this time pairing it with a Gel Press Print.
And my final card combined teal and purple with a sentiment from Unity Stamp Company … a joyous season.
I loved being able to pull together this set of masculine holiday cards together so quickly with these great sentiment stamps.
