Diversity=Inclusion

July 23, 2020

What does diversity=inclusion mean to you?  Do you see yourself as part of a community? Do you see yourself being supported? It’s a loaded question I know however a conversation needs to be had.

When you see the need to look deeper into what you see in your community it helps to see people that look like you.  You feel that you are included in the conversation.  Seeing diversity is a beautiful sight.  You get to see the lives of others and the strength that can bring. Let’s take a look at my card.

Diversity=inclusionI chose to repeatedly stamp the sentiment over and over again to create a statement card.  The simple repetitive nature of the sentiment in different shades of brown inks show that all shades of skin tone need to be included.  Diversity=inclusion.  Don’t sit by and watch when you can speak up and make a difference when you don’t see yourself being included.

Diversity=inclusion

There are times when diversity needs to be brought to someone’s attention because they don’t see it.  That’s a teaching moment.  Express yourself first with love and understanding.  Sometimes it’s hard when people are uncomfortable with talking about diversity.  Lean in and learn about another race.  Yes there are differences however their are so shared experiences.  You can agree to disagree but do it with kindness. United should be the goal.

Diversity=inclusion

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  All products used for this card are linked below. You can see cards from this stamp set all week here on my blog.  Have a great day and I’ll see you back here tomorrow for another card.

United As One Tutorial

July 21, 2020

Good morning everyone.  I’m back today sharing another card using the new United As One stamp set.  This is a partnership stamp set with Pocono Pam, Hero Arts and myself.  If you missed my card for yesterday, click here.

I’m sharing a video with you today to show two ways you can use the United As One stamp set.  The sentiments in this stamp set are so important to me.  This set was inspired to be used for all occasions where solidarity needs to be the main focus especially in the black communities. Here’s a peak at the cards I made for this tutorial.

Happy Tuesday everyone. I'm have two cards for you Happy Tuesday everyone. I'm have two cards for you today using products from the @concordand9th and @starofmay collections. I'm obsessed with this release.

My first card is using the new Love Games stamp set along with stitched hearts from the Stitched With Love dies from Concord and 9th. This is such a cute stamp set. I love word searches so this was so much fun for me.

The second card is using the Jumble Of Hearts stencils with the Love and Adore stamp set from Kristina. I have made SOO MANY cards with the Jumble of Hearts Bundle. It's perfect for year around usage. 

What did you purchase from the release? Let me know in the comments.
