Hi there bloggers, happy Saturday to you! I'm super excited to bring to you not ONE but TWO amazingly beautiful cards by Lisa Henke! I asked her to incorporate a couple really cool new stamp sets from Unity Stamps featuring washi tape!

A BIG thank you once again to Lisa Henke for making these gorgeous cards! For additional lovely inspiration be sure to check out her blog HERE.

The cheery colors and layering lend a fitting title to the sentiment Lisa added to this card. To make a similar creation of your own, check out the ingredients below:

Gorgeous Unity Stamp Inspiration!

Time for Travel by Brook Lien

Happy Sunday, Bloggers! Only 2 days from now, we will already officially be one week into Summer! My goodness, how quickly time passes, I can hardly believe it! Today I'm very happy to spotlight and give some love to a beautiful brand of unmounted stamps, Unity Stamps! They are not only beautiful and unique in their own right, and by their own designers, but have combined forces with brand and artist power houses such as Donna Downey, Cosmo Cricket, Echo Park, and Webster's Pages...just to name a few. I hope you enjoy this inspiration, and if you're hesitant to purchase an entire set, check out the collection of Itty Bittys! Perfect for a Unity Stamp beginner.

Imagine It by Natalie Dever
