We’re halfway through the week and I have another Unity card to share with you! Can you tell I’m still hooked on making cards that encourage? 🙂 I started with the glasses from One of a Kind. I’ve tried to use the glasses with the sentiment attached so many times and failed. So this time, I decided I was finally going to cut off the sentiment. Now I can use the glasses freely with anything I want. When I cut off the sentiment, I cut it jaggedly so I could always put the three pieces back together easily on an acrylic block.
The sentiment is from the February 2011 Kit of the Month, The Best is Yet To Be. I stamped it directly on top of the glasses in black, two more times in olive and pink, trimmed out the two words and adhered the two pieces to the card. The beautiful frame is one of my favourite Unity stamps and it’s from With Love.
Don’t forget, if you comment on all five Growing in Unity posts this week, you could win two itty bitty stamps of your choice from Unity Stamp Company!

LOVE this Emily!!! LOVE those glasses and perfect sentiment!!! (=
Awesome card! Love the glasses-so in right now-and the sentiment is perfect!
I flipping love this card! I could have never made that frame and the glasses go together but you rocked it. The popped up/brighter sections of the sentiment. You are brilliant.
What a cool card, Emily! It works as a masculine card too. Love the colours! Take care, girl.. {hugs}
Love this card Emily. I really like this sentiment…..This is CLEAR to SEE that its perfect…lol.
I love the colour combo you've used, Emily! And glasses…I'm going to pick out new ones today, but I'm thinking probably not orange 😉 And that sentiment is so far beyond true it's ridiculous, really!
Love, love, love how you changed up the sentiment and the frame is fabulous.
Wonderful card. I haven't use any eyeglass stamps yet and now I'll just have to.
Oh – GREAT idea to cut them apart! I have struggled with the same thing…don't know why I never thought to cut them apart! Duh me moment! This is an AMAZING card though! PERFECT sentiment to go with the glasses!

I love how you did the sentiment with the glasses. Fab!
ADORABLE! LOVE your colors!!! You always amaze me–always:)
Love it Emily!
You are so creative!!
TFS~
What a wonderful card…loving the glasses and the color combo!
So smart — those glasses will be way more versatile now that the sentiment's optional! And the sentiment you substituted is absolutely perfect. Always good to have a few 'encouraging' cards in your stash for when you want to lift someone's spirits.
Love the sentiment and love the card too!
Seriously love the sentiment. Love how you framed the card.
wow, this sentiment is so true. i have to change my point of view 🙂 great design and i love the layout.
I love every single card you've ever made with that frame! The colors you used on this one are wonderful!! What a great tip about cutting the sentiment from the glasses, too. TFS!
Love the changing out of the sentiment and the way you pieced it together here. Fun, bold colors!
What a fun card! Love those glasses. 🙂
*sigh* It's perfect! I love the orange glasses and I love it with that sentiment. That was smart to cut away the original sentiment from the glasses…I've selectively colored it, but it's a pain. I didn't even think of cutting it (duh!)! Cool frame, too!
Love the frame and glasses.
Those glasses get me every time! Love the colors you used!
Hey, this is really clever! I love those bright orange specs!
This is such a fun card! Love the colors and that wonderful frame!
This is super cool! Fabulous idea cutting the stamp apart. I adore those glasses and the sentiment rings true!
Love the sentiment on this card… it is so true. Great card.
Love the layered stamping!!! The colors look amazing together!!! That large frame has stolen my heart!!!
The sentiment is sooo true! I love how you framed it with the glasses too.
wow, you really know how to rock the stamps. the colors and placement are just perfect.

LOVE LOVE this card! cool colors!!
Loving the pops of green and pink with the blue and orange! And that frame really is fabulous.
