GIU Day 4 Butterfly For You Notecard

Hello everyone. It's Day 4 for GIU week Unity Stamps Co. I have a Butterfly card today and you can win a $20 GC to shop at Unity Stamps. 2 Lucky winners. Just comment here, FB groups, and IG to be eligible to win.

Let's Get Started:

Well this Butterfly comes from the KOM August 2025 called A Monarch Echo. I thought it was really pretty. I don't see many of these butterflies anymore. I usually see white ones in my backyard. I did go to a butterfly event before and WOW that was something, I would like to do that again one day as that was many years ago.

I stamped this butterfly with Black Soot Distress ink on watercolor paper 98lbs. I ended up using watercolor pencils from Tim Holtz. I kept laying down color with a little bit of water and a paint brush, letting it dry and then I would apply more color. After, when I was happy with my results I fussy cut out this butterfly and how I love it. I found some orange gingham pattern paper in my stash and grabbed some black cardstock. I ripped both papers.

I also used the A-Round & A-Round stamp it has some round solid stamps. I used one of those stamps with Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide ink on my Gingham paper for fun.

I placed my 2 papers on a cream colored A2 panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Once all glued, I inked around my card panel with the Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide ink. I stamped a sentiment from the KOM with black ink onto the cream colored cardstock. I then glued my butterfly just so the center was attached I like bending the wings up and down. I did add some white gel pen dot accents to my butterfly. I like that this card is great for any Occasion, I will probably stamp inside when needed. Everything was then glued to a black A2 heavyweight card base and that makes this card finished. I hope you like it. I had fun making it. See you on our last day, Day 5!

Hello everyone. I'm excited for Day 3 of (GIU) Growing in Unity. I've been having so much fun this week. I hope you have too. I have a fun card card today. Comment here on my blog IG and FB groups to be eligible to win a $20 GC to Unity Stamps. There will be 2 winners.

Let's Get Started:

Ohhhh how I love their Pissy Kitty Line of Stamps. I had to have this one!!! I love coffee so this stamp was a must have called Curlers and Catitude Pissy Kitty. I stamped this kitty on Neenah Desert Storm cardstock 80lb. with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. This time I colored with my alcohol markers. As for my background you can't see on camera but on green Matcha cardstock I used the Polka Dance Background rubber stamp with Gina K Designs White Pigment ink. I also inked my background around the edges with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink and I cut out my kitty and background using the Deckle and Stitches Nesting Dies. I inked around my kitty too.

I found some pattern paper in my stash Polkadots and inked it up too. I glued everything to a A2 kraft card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I popped up my pattern paper and kitty with foam tape. I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set and inked it also. I placed white paper behind and added a white button brad. Lastly, I added some white gel pen to the mug and eyes of my kitty. I think it's cute. I hope you like it. See you on Day 4!
