Blogging since 2006 ~ Formerly known as Stamping Therapy

CPC Blog Hop is here!

Welcome to the Christian Paper Crafts Blog Hop sponsored by the Unity Stamp Company! I am so excited to be here as a guest designer! The Blog Hop starts at Cindy's Blog!

For my first project, I made an 8x8 scrapbook page of my husband, his brother, and his Dad! The title just seemed to "fit". LOL! This page includes the Unity sets Simple Blessings, Build A Turkey, and KOM August 2009. (You can right click on any photo to see a bigger picture.)


Next I made a card with my fave color... orange. I know I'm in the minority, but I do LOVE orange. LOL! This card uses the set Simple Blessings.
Paper & Ink: pumpkin pie, creay carael, close to cocoa, white
Accessories: ribbons, brads, sponge

If you would like to see more of my work with Unity's stamps, click here.

Now to the hop…..and prize announcements!! There’s 6 of us participating in the hop so that means 6 prizes and chances for you to win. There’s one catch – each blog hop stop must have at least 10 comments in order to open up the prize pool for that stop. CPC and Unity DT members are not eligible for any prizes, and our comments left will not count towards the original 10 comments. What are the prizes? I have 3 Simple Blessings stamp sets and 3 Devoted stamp sets from Unity's new {ippity} line. The comments will close at midnight Sunday and the winners will be announced on Monday morning on each individual blog.

Thank you Unity and thank you for stopping by and participating in Christian Paper Crafts very first blog hop! After looking at my projects below, you will want to hop on over to Mary Collins to see what she has in store for you!

2 DRS cards - 2 Challenges



This first card showing the beauty of Christmas trees was made for the Clean & Simple challenge on SCS: use white and one other color. (Neutral count as another color.)

Stamps: Trees (L004), Greeting (F334)
Paper: white, handsome hunter
Ink: Handsome Hunter
Accessories: ribbon, Stickles, Martha Stewart edge punch

I'll let you in on a little secret... I should have used glitter. The Stickles soaked and warped the paper!!!









I started out this next card with the intention of following the sketch on 2Sketches4You. Well, it sort of resembles it. And I see the samples all look quite different. So I hope this is OK. To make myself feel better, I'll probably play again this week... with my brand new stamps that arrived in the mail while I was at work. : )

Stamps: Filigree Star (L1113), Medium Filigree Snowflake for the BG (H1123), greeting (B364)
Paper: white, black, pale plum
Ink: black, pale plum, black marker
Accessories: SU punches

DRS Designs is sponsoring the sketch this week. Everyone who enters will have a chance to win a $15 gift certificate!

Life is a bowl of strawberries...


SCS Featured Stamper: chrisations.ink
Congrats Christine! You are such a sweetheart. Enjoy your day!

* I used the same layout.
* I used a different fruit and used a scalloped circle with it rather than a square.
* I didn't use a scallop edge punch on my dp.
* I added a little more color and some ribbon.

Here's Christine's gorgeous CAS card.

Stamps: Unity's Berry Good Life which was available for pre-sale only last weekend. (Or was it the weekend before? It hurts to get old!!) It won't be available again until CHA. I'm sure glad I didn't miss that announcement! I love, love, love this set!

Paper: riding hood red, white, unkown dp
Ink: black, SU ruby red & regal rose markers, Copic markers: R29 lipstick red, YG67 moss, E43 dull ivory, E27 Africano, B60 pale blue gray (for highlighting)
Accessories: Marvy Giga scalloped circle punch, black eyelet (to hold the ribbon), Ribbon: SU regal rose, SU wild wasabi, and American Crafts striped ribbon
