Hi there and Welcome to Day 5! I have really enjoyed sharing my CAS creations with you all this week and I have truly appreciated all the wonderful comments that you have written me...Yesterday I wrote that about making a fun New Year gift and with one of Unity's newest kits...
Spark by Graciellie Design...when I saw this kit I knew it would be perfect for a New Year Gift...
With a new year comes changes ( good and bad sometimes too) and new beginnings...when I saw the caterpillar and butterfly in this kit and the beautiful sentiments in this kit this is what I ended up making for a friend of mine...she has had a rough school year so far and I am hoping with the new year things will get better for her...the two sentiments I have chosen for this project I feel will remind her that no matter what happens tomorrow is a new day...
For the background I used watercolor paper that I buy from Michael's and black StazOn to stamp the caterpillar, butterfly, and sentiment and once again I used my aqua painter to paint the caterpillar and buttefly...I adhered the calendar using double sided tape...for the butterfly, two of the leaves, and the branch I stamped on the paper and then stamped again on another piece of water color paper and then "fussy cut" them and then used puffy dots to adhere them onto the paper...
Once again I did the same thing here like I did with the branch and some of the leaves on the background of the calendar..
I stamped the inside of the card with StazOn...
I really liked how it all turned out...as you call can tell I am definitely a CAS kind of gal when it comes to my creations...my friends often tell me that they are "Simply Sweet"
Make sure to leave a comment for a chance to win 25 stamps from Unity...please check back tomorrow to see who won...I will make a blog post to announce the winner
~Happy Stamping~

This is more than simply sweet; this is AWEsome! And what a beautiful gift for your friend. I have been wanting to make some calendar gifts like this. They are useful to everyone! Thanks for a wonderful week of sharing.
ReplyDeleteLovely idea. Great set. On my wish list.
ReplyDeleteWynne this is my favourite project this week - you are SO right - the caterpillar and the butterfly are perfect for New Years... Cheers to a great 2018 for you and yours :)
ReplyDeleteA great idea for the calendar cards I’ll be making soon. Have loved all your cards this week!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thoughtful gift! Again perfect stamp selection! Beautiful job putting it all together!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet of you to think of your friend this way, I taught for 30 years and some days are hard. This is perfect for her. Love how you made a card out of the calendar which makes it freestanding
ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful projects again and I love the choice of stamp sets. I'm not sure I'd call these CAS. I can see you've put a lot of time and energy into your coloring and the fussy cutting, which tells the person receiving these cards that you really care. Thank you for a truly creative week - happy holidays!
