GIU Growing in Unity Day 1 Life Is Tough But So Are You

 Hello everyone.  I'm super excited to be a GIU Girl for Unity Stamps Co. this week and Today is Day 1 YAY🎉 I have loved Unity Stamps Co. for so long.  They are amazing right? I will have a blog and Social media posts every day of this week. Leave comments here and in the FB Unity Stamps Groups and SM for a chance to win a $20 credit to shop at Unity Stamps Co. There will be 2 lucky winners and I will post the winners at the end of the week in the Unity Stamps Groups.

I used this cute Highland Cow Stamp called The Little High Road isn't it cute?? It was my first time using it and I love it.  I stamped this cute cow on watercolor paper and then colored it with my Tim Holtz watercolor pencils, water, and a paintbrush.  I also stamped the sentiment from the same set.

I paired my cow with some pattern papers from Unity Stamp Co. like the tag, bow, and floral paper.  I added some stitching with my sewing machine and used my Tim Holtz Tiny attacher for some interest.  Everything was added to green cardstock and then to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I had so much fun with this card. I hope you like it.  See you on Day 2!

{BYSHC} Has A New Card Sketch #67 For March 2026

 Hello everyone.  Happy March Yay. I'm so excited to have a Holiday card for {BYSHC} Card Sketch 67.  This sketch is a great one. I know I always say that but it's true.  Join us this month to get ahead on your Holiday cards and our sponsor this month is Pajama Crafter Stamps Yay.  You can win a $25 GC.

I love this sketch and how you can use 2 squares and a sentiment and you're done. On my card, I used The Vintage Christmas Card Panels W/Bases & Envelopes from Pajama Crafter Stamps.  I love this set because the quality of the panels, A2 card bases, and envelopes is so good. So easy to make some gorgeous Holiday cards. I actually used 2 panels here from that bundle.  I used a square die to cut one out and layered it on silver glitter paper like the Card Sketch 67 and then cut the other panel to be 4 x 5 1/4 and layered it on gold glitter paper. I love how this card turned it.

My sentiment was stamped and heat embossed from the Citrus & Scarlet Blooms Stamps set with gold WOW embossing powder in Metallic Gold Rich. I then cut my sentiment according to the card sketch.  I then glued all to the A2 card base from the Vintage Christmas Set. So easy and I will have another card to share this month.  I hope you grab this set.  I love how this card turned it.

I hope you join us this month. We love to see your cards and it's a chance to win a GC to Pajama Crafter Stamps.
