Friends of Unity June Blog Hop

 Hey…it’s time for our June Blog Hop… wow, year is almost halfway done! Welcome back, this month’s theme is

And just in time for Father’s Day! A reminder before I start, these hops always contain giveaways and all you need to do to qualify is leave a comment on the posts! As a matter of fact, I am doing a giveaway from last month’s post, so I’d like to congratulate

Angy Hughes

at this point! Please PM me your info, Angy, and I’ll get a package out to you as soon as I can!

Now on to the first card! For both of the cards shown here, I used a very old Kaisercraft Barber Shoppe paper pad. I used a coffee stained paper for the image! Love the vintagey feel of them both! I coupled them with several Unity kits: All Cylinders, and an old mixed media kit, called All About the Journey (for background stamping). After using pencils on the image, and stamping the background and sentiment, I added colored and stamped ephemera and enamel dots to complete the card.


For the second card, I used Sweet Memories and Best Tool in the Box. I watercolored and fussy cut out the image. Okay, must admit, I found the dog image in an old ephemera pack and had to use it… as this one is for my son! He has a 110 lb. Lab, called Finn. I also cut up some of the paper in the pack to create dominos in a homage to his 6 yr old son (with another son on the way later in the year 👶🤣). I added enamel dots to finish this one off.


Had fun creating these 2 cards with my guys in mind! Hope you enjoy my fellow crafter’s take on masculine cards in the rest of the hop! So, follow along with us!

  7. I love the dominoes!! We play Mexican dominoes every Friday night (family dinner night) so that card really speaks to me. So much fun! I love all the different things you put together to make both cards. Awesome!
