Gifts


Hi There! Today I'm hopping along with the other Growing In Unity artists from the past couple of months. As always, Unity is generously giving away a prize to the lucky winners chosen from the comments left on all of the blogs during this hop. Make sure to follow the links below. 

Speaking of generosity, I decided to create with and feature some of the gifts I have received from Unity. Among them is a little canvas bag that came in one of my membership kits, a cute Gnome that was a freebie a while back, and a large shipping tag. 
 One of my favorite things to create is stuffies. Sweet little felt cuties created by stamping onto felt and sewing them together. They are a labor of love and worth every minute...and pinprick! It's truly a special moment when they're complete, it's like the rubber stamp has come to life. Just look at that little guy! Ahh! I love him!

I also stamped the large heart from Loads of Love. I sewed the design with regular thread then stuffed it up so my little Gnome would have a comfy buddy. 
The canvas bag was stamped using the background sized image from the current KOM and then I traced the designs with embroidery floss. I hope to develop real embroidery skills this year and create some really beautiful things. 
Finally, I channeled the Queen of tags, Angela Magnuson, and dressed up a large shipping tag that came as a gift with one of my orders. Angela just celebrated a birthday, which means great deals are happening at Unity! 
*both stamps I used on the tag are from previous KOM's. Love is from 09/19 & the heart border is from 01/13

That's the blog for today friends! Have a great time hopping and commenting from blog to blog!
