Growing In Unity Day Four....

Welcome back for day four of five of my Growing In Unity blog week. Today I have a little bit of a different  project for you. I decided to make a cute little gift with some quick packaging. Once again I put to use the Samantha Walker Blossom Stackers stamp set by Unity Stamp Co..

First, I purchased some "fancy" elastic at our local fabric store. Then I pulled out some of my acrylic paints....


To make the headband I started by putting a medium sized dab of acrylic paint on a piece of acetate. Then with an old used gift card I spread the paint out thin and evenly. This is going to be my stamp "pad". Load your stamp wit the paint and stamp away onto the elastic. You'll want to smooth out your paint on your acetate every couple of times that you stamp the image.


Once I was done with the gold paint, then I cleaned off my acetate with a baby wipe and put a little dollop of fuchsia paint on the acetate. Using my stylus I added little dots of pink paint.


Next I made a quick pillow box to match!


...and of course this post wouldn't be complete without my little one modeling the finished product!


Make sure to leave a comment to be entered into the random drawing for an Itty Bitty stamp of your choice!

See you all tomorrow!

Oh my gosh, aren't you artsy! I love seeing different projects other than cards. I mostly do cards myself, but I like variety.
