Growing in Unity 2020 - Post #1

Hello beautiful people.
This is Growing in Unity week.  A great opportunity to share projects using Unity Stamp Co products/stamps.  It's easy.  I will share my projects everyday this week (from Monday to Friday), you stop by and comment in each post, and you will have the opportunity to win stamps from Unity. Isn't that awesome?  Yes, I know.
There will be two winners, so there's double opportunity.

I will share cards this week; most of them with Christmas theme.
I know Christmas is over in America, but in Puerto Rico we continue celebrating "Octavitas", which is a great excuse to party longer...  So we practically continue celebrating during January.  Woohoo!



This CAS card was easily made using patterned paper as background and stamping and coloring the sleigh in a white circle.    Sentiment was stamped separately and place with dimensional adhesives.  The tree is a cutout.


This other card is similar since I also stamped and colored the image in a white circle.  


I also used some glitter and glossy accents for this image and I love the result.


The sentiment is another cutout.  I added sequins for a final balance touch.





Hope you liked my cards from the first post.  Remember to comment in each of the posts this week.  You could win great prizes from Unity Stamp Co.

Enjoyed reading your blog and have to admit that I don't always go with the flow. I love your card with the sleigh and the green paper - that's I mean about me not going with the flow - somehow I would have wanted to add a blue sky but I love your green background paper and know that I have to loosen up. It is a great card and has opened my eyes to new possibilities. Of course I love the VW bug with the tree, who doesn't love a VW. Looking forward to the rest of your posts.

Great cards and I love the layouts. I hope you are not being affected by the earthquakes there, but offer prayers for those that are.

I have that polka dot paper and struggle on how to use it. Now I know! Will use it just as you did. I hope you are safe in PR. Mother Nature has been rough on your beautiful island. But you all are strong.
