Growing in Unity 2023, Day 1

May ev'ry birthday sweetly bring,
A thousand proofs of love;
A pure and perfect crystal spring
Of bliss from Heav'n above!
~George Wells, Golden Wishes, 1885

Good morning and Happy New Year! So much going on this year in the Malmrose household as we begin a renovation project that’s a bit overdue! That means my craft room will get packed up and I will have limited access to my crafty items for a while.

That being said I am so excited to be chosen to start the year as the first Unity Gal of 2023! Today and every day for the next week I’ll be sharing cards I made using Unity Stamps. I do hope you enjoy my projects! Also, please make sure you comment on the post each day as at the end of the week I get to pick two people who will receive a $20 credit to the store!

For my first card I am sharing a fun slim line birthday card. I love gnomes. They are so cheeky and fun. This is one of my favorites!




Supplies, card size: Slimline
  • Stamps from Unity Stamps, Life’s a Party Gnome
  • Cardstock from The Paper Studio (Base), Hammermill color copy & Stampin Up!
  • Design paper from Darice

Gnomes are not my favorite but this one is adorable with the frosting and candles on his head.
