Earth Day is Hip!

Hip HOP, that is!!! Unity is going green today and is releasing a new single that I LOVE called 'Plant a Tree'. I used the stamp in it's entirety on this project... but you could also omit the sentiment and use this adorable image for any occasion!

And... here's a close up of my card. I stamped the image in black ink and then hand stitched the tree to give it some color. (Another hint: Pierce the holes in your paper BEFORE you start stitching. It makes it so much easier and prevents tearing.)

To make it even more 'Eco Friendly', I ripped a piece of denim and looped it through my card front for a cheap, recycled embellishment. (And yet another hint from me that you've probably heard before: Save those worn out jeans! My boys seem to rip holes in the knees of their pants on a weekly basis. Instead of throwing them out... add them to your craft stash!)

And... since we're being all 'Earth Happy' today, I wanted to show you a couple of 'tree' cards I made using Unity's April KOM:

This one uses some fun and funky new paper from Sassafras.

And... to tone things down a bit, here's a card using the same image, using some of the Kraft line by Jillibean Soup.

Now... hop on over to the next blog for more Unity Goodness!
