My teen daughter has developed a borderline unhealthy obsession with dill pickles recently. Unity's pickle jar stamp made this years card for her, humorous and extra memorable. I suspended the jar in the center of an oval. It spins and wobbles when it's opened.
The beer card was created for my Granddaughters daddy. He made it through his first season of fatherhood! Cheers! ;) He also likes trying out different IPA's so I thought it would be a fun card for him.
The pickle jar is double sided and has a bit of paper piecing. The beer was accented with Wink of Stella for that frosty mug effect. I cheated a bit and used my computer to alter a couple of Unity sentiments in order to create exactly what I wanted. I used "Cheers to New Beginnings" from the sentiment kit called You Can & You Will and "Wishing you a blessed Winter a merry Christmas, & a happy New Year" sentiment from Winter Blessings.
Don't forget to leave a comment each day for a chance at winning some Unity stamps! For an extra entry today tell me which kit you used over and over this season. Cheers to you all!
Very fun cards! Love the Winter Blessings set you used!
