Growing in Unity Day 2


Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! Today's cards were created with a monochromatic design. I incorporated one of my favorite techniques, paper ripping and inking the distressed edges. I also used one of my new favorites - Decofoil and toner fronts. Have you tried this? So....Much.....Fun. And so easy, too. As a teacher and a mother, I don't have a lot of time right now for difficult projects. These came together pretty easily and I also got my daughter involved and she created a card, too. Have a wonderful day and don't forget to comment for your chance to win this week.

For the first card I used toner front Circles a Plenty, new stamp release: Spring Coffee, and Sunshine and Rainbows Sentiment Kit -  April 2021.


 (I used one of the dotted rainbows to make my dots on the coffee cup  :) )




The second card I made used the toner front: Wild Garden and the sentiment kit from April 2015 called Thanks Above & Beyond . I didn't evern realize until this moment that both sentiment kits I used were from the month of April. 




My daughter's card used the same toner front and the stamp set  Everything Resides in Hope on the front. I love that she saw me working and wanted to create one of her own for her best friend.


She used Swagger for the message on the inside and the flower from the September 2017 Sentiment kit ...abundant blessings.

  1. Beautiful cards! I don't think to paper tear and it looks great. Need to remember that technique.

  3. Very pretty and those foiled fronts are really easy to use and make a wow factor. Plus using it the way you did allows you to get a couple of cards out of each toner front.

  7. I had started investing in deco foil and toner cards and was using them for background only, thank you for the inspiration on using them differently.
