Friends of Unity Blog Hoppers, March 2022, Kraft, Black, and White

Hello there and welcome to the Friends of Unity March 2022 blog hop. I am so excited for this month's cue, kraft, black, and white. I think this is a classy color combo. I don't believe I have ever created with this palette until now. Here is our cool graphic for the month:

Before I share my first card, let me announce the winner of my blog hop prize from last month. Drum roll please. VANNESSA OSBOURN, you are my winner! Come on down! Please message me on Facebook with your address, so I can get your goodies to you. Thank you for your continued support of our hop.

Love how this card turned out:

I so enjoy making cards for men. I love this background stamp called house of cards. So many possibilities with this one. I think this card is perfect to wish him well in his retirement or his birthday. The large sentiment is from rhe August 2017 SMAK, just go. I finished this card off with some Tim Holtz ephemera and a mini wood frame.

Next is a slim line card. I don't know about you, but I have the hardest time taking pics of slim lines. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

Let me just say, this stamp is a must have in your stamping arsenal. It is so gorgeous! It is called slimline feather. I stamped it on pattern paper and embossed with black powder. I wish you could see the fabulous sheen. The lovely sentiment is from the May 2021 Sentiment Kit, in my thoughts, girl. So many sweet sentiments in this set.

I am giving away a prize this month, too. This time the stamp set, Determined to Rise, is up for grabs. All you have to do is leave a comment on each of our blogs to be eligible for our prizes.

We all know of the horrific crisis taking place in Ukraine. I love all of the cards for Ukraine on social media. The outpouring of support is glorious. I love how we, as card makers, have come together in support and solidarity. I am proud to be a part of this caring community. My heart goes out to all those innocent people who have been displaced from their homes. I can only imagine the fear and uncertainity. Let's stand with Ukraine. Prayers and love for Ukraine.

Here is my card for Ukraine:

These flowers are huge. They are from the August 2017 Kit of the Month, never be afraid. This is an amazing kit filled with beautiful images and sayings.
