Christian Paper Crafts and Unity Blog Hop!
Today is an exciting day for Christian Paper Crafts. Not only are we having our very first blog hop, but our sponsor this month is none other than Unity Stamp Company! Angela Magnuson, the owner of Unity, generously donated over 20 stamp sets to my Design Team. I had a lot of fun working with Eryn and Michelle too, especially with {ippity}, but that’s for a little bit later.
I am also excited about our Guest Design Team Member for this month, Jenny Charboneau, aka Miss Boo. Jen is the Queen of Clean and Simple cards and is the hostess of the Clean and Simple challenge every Monday at Splitcoast Stampers. I was so happy when she accepted my invitation to be our guest designer and so was the rest of the team. Thank you Jen!
The Design Team and I were definitely up to the task of showcasing Unity’s stamps and boy do we have some fresh projects for you and a new spin on how to use Unity Stamps. The stamp sets provided to us were Simple Blessings (hugely popular with everybody), Build a Turkey (just wait until you see what Jen did with this – make sure nothing is in your mouth), Autumn Pals, Joy & Wonder, and Embellished Season.
We invite you to participate in our blog hop today and visit the Christian Paper Crafts Design Team Unity Gallery and/or the Christian Paper Crafts/Unity Gallery at Splitcoast Stampers throughout the month of November for new ideas and projects made by our Design Team!
Now to the hop…..and prize announcements!! There’s 6 of us participating in the hop so that means 6 prizes and chances for you to win. There’s one catch – each blog hop stop must have at least 10 comments in order to open up the prize pool for that stop. CPC and Unity DT members are not eligible for any prizes, and our comments left will not count towards the original 10 comments. What are the prizes? I have 3 Simple Blessings stamp sets and 3 Devoted stamp sets from Unity’s new {ippity} line. The comments will close at midnight Sunday and the winners will be announced on Monday morning on each individual blog.
Thank you Unity and thank you for stopping by and participating in Christian Paper Crafts very first blog hop! After looking at my projects below, you will want to hop on over to Mary Collins to see what she has in store for you!
