Blog Birthday Giveaway #1 - Unity Stamp Company

Good evening!!! So - this little blog is celebrating FIVE years this month - on October 20th!!! I can hardly believe it has been that long, and yet in some ways I don't remember not doing this. I have been SOOOO incredibly blessed by all the amazing people I have met through this hobby - and so incredibly lucky to work with some AMAZING products and companies. To celebrate I have lined up TONS of giveaways from some of these amazing places. HUGE thanks to each of them for their generous donations of prizes - I'm super excited to be able to share them with you!

First up - I thought I would start with Unity Stamp Company. I fell in love with them very early in my crafting career - purchasing my first sets within about a month of starting this blog. Now I'm pinching myself that I get to be on their Design Team!

If you haven't heard of them before - Unity Stamps are high quality unmounted red rubber stamps. I love my clear stamps so much - but there is just something about the quality of the image you get with a red rubber stamp. And there are always amazing sales - and constantly new releases! I don't think there is another company that releases stamps more frequently. I love how there is an image and sentiment for everything. One of my favorite items from Unity is the Kit of the Month. It was the main way I started and built my collection. I have also had TONS of fun recently making Quick Tip videos for Unity. They are all under a minute and half - you can check out the Unity Youtube Channel to see all of them! You can find Unity on Facebook as well as their Blog - always full of inspiration!

If you want to see some of many projects I have made with my Unity Stamps you can click HERE - but I also have a new card to share today that I made recently. A friend requested a sympathy card that had a boat on it - this is what I came up with:

I used Celebrate {Webster's Itty Bitty} for the boat and Heartfelt Sympathy for the sentiment, the center panel is cut with an Avery Elle die. Pattern paper is by Crate Paper, with some torn vellum in the background. Added some jute twine and soft inking around the center panel to finish it off.

You can enter the giveaway below using Rafflecopter - this is my first time using this method for a giveaway, but since I have so many to do this month I thought it might help make it easier! So - if there are any bumps along the way, please forgive me as I figure them out? 

All giveaways will stay open until the 20th (the official birthday date!) and I will announce all winners that day! If you already follow on Pinterest, Youtube, or Facebook - feel free to leave your name for each day of giveaways, no need to be a new follower only!

Have a wonderful day - and good luck!
