License Spotlight – Day 3: U.B.U

Have you ever driven down the highway and seen a minivan or SUV with stick figures representing a family stuck to the back? There's the Dad, the Mom, one kid holding a soccer ball, another holding a football, a little baby, and maybe a dog or a cat? That's U.B.U! (Correct pronunciation is: YOU BE YOU). My friend Erin Carmines loves the decals so much – I can't wait to get her one someday. U.B.U. just has cutest characters – designed to represent YOU and your family. We've got it licensed and have 9 Peel & Stick packs – there's definitely something for everyone here.

Jennifer Holmes illustrated all the great things you can do with our U.B.U. Peel & Stick stamps. Up first is this adorable card. She started with her sentiment "Brew up some fun" and coordinated it with the girl holding a beer and flag in the U.B.U. Happy Hour stamp set. How cute!

Next she created a party favor. Wouldn't this be great for a young boy's birthday party? It's a pencil cover. She's stamped from U.B.U. All Star. The little boy is holding a football. So, so creative!

Jennifer has taken a completely different direction with this last card. She's created an adorable wedding card. She's stamped the couples from U.B.U. Bicycle Bride and given them a little color. She's also stamped "Living Happily Ever After" from Smirk Kiss Me Now. I love how the flowers and hearts pop off the card. She's tied the ribbon on this card so perfectly! I also love that Jennifer uses die cutting to create a card that isn't a box. Isn't it refreshing to see a card in a different shape?

It's hard for me to choose my favorite U.B.U Peel & Stick pack, so I am just going to show you two of my favorites. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the U.B.U Happy Halloween. When you stamp each one out in a line on a card, you have the most adorable card you've ever seen. (Just go back and look at Carly Robertson's cards last Halloween). I am also a huge fan of Peppermint Swing for the holidays (mostly because I like that little girl in the stocking). Tell us what you think of U.B.U. today, or which is your favorite of ours in the collection. See all of them here: http://www.psaessentials.com/ubu.htm
