Growing in Unity, Day TWO

Morning all!  Welcome to day two of my Growing in Unity (GIU) week. At the end of the week, I'll draw a name from all of the comments and that poster will win 2 Itty Bitty stamps of their choice from Unity so don't forget to comment!


Today I went in a bit different direction than I usually go- I made a few mini cards.  I've been wanting to make some of these to stash in my son and husband's lunches, I just hadn't done it yet.

The first one I made two of and simply altered the color combination.  I wanted to use the "Nuts and Bolts" set and it's perfect for a mini card.

While it's a bit hard to see, the paper gears and the "you're #1" are all embossed.  What you really can't see, or smell, is that they're embossed with clear cherry and vanilla scented embossing powders.  I thought the 4yr old would really like that. 

The second card is quite a bit different.  I used some leftover acetate to make a window over the fish so I could put seaweed over him without having to fussy-cut it out.  Even I have limits to what I'll fussy cut!
