Hip Hop! Scandinavian Chip Art Ornament + a BIG Sale!

*Don't forget to check out the post below for your chance to win some great Unity stamps!

You're going to LOVE this week's Hip Hop theme!  The Unity & Ippity girls are posting Christmas projects for kids & holiday ornaments.  It's going to be a very merry hop! :)

The idea for my project today came from the folksy flower found in this month's KOM:

I love the look of Scandinavian holiday decor & thought I'd try to recreate it myself by altering a chipboard snowflake.  

I pulled out some of my Chip Art tools (by Melody Ross) and stamped "God Jul", (which means "Merry Christmas").  If you look really closely, you'll see some flower images debossed around the snowflake's edges.  

I used a mixture of red paint, Mod Podge & spray mists to get the finished product.  Then, once everything was nice & dry, I stamped the folksy flower image & paper pieced the details.  I added one more coat of Mod Podge for good measure & misted/antiqued some baker's twine to top it off.

Hip Hop! New Melody Ross Stamps!

Wow!  Is it seriously Thursday already?!?  Did you guys get to make cards over the weekend during World Card Making Day?  Don't forget that Unity has challenges going on for another week!  You can read about my challenge on the post below.  There are LOTS of prizes up for grabs!  :)

Have you seen the new Melody Ross stamps from Unity?  OMGosh!  I want them all!  I just love Melody's style & all of the inspiration that she brings.  My card today was made from the new set 'One of a Kind'.  It's got such a fun, retro feel!  :)

I paper pieced the 'plain janes' shirts with paper from the Restoration line by Crate Paper & then stamped an additional image onto felt to make my girl on the right even more unique.  It's so soft and fuzzy irl.  :)

If you haven't stopped by the Unity blog today, make sure to check it out!  There's another big sale going one... & I heard a little something about free shipping?  :)
