Growing in Unity Day 4

Hello! It's my second post of the day. For my PDCC post, please click HERE.

I'm back with another Unity card as part of my Growing in Unity week. We're getting close to the end of the week, so be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win two Itty Bittys of your choice (well, comments are good no matter what). :)

For today's card, I made a little boy's birthday card. I have two young children, so having kids' cards on hand is helpful. Here's what I came up with:



I used the Bella Blvd. Dinomite stamp and a sentiment from It's Your Day, both from Unity. I love how they work together! I stamped the dinosaur onto some Fancy Pants Wave Searcher paper and fussy cut the image. Since there were long nails, I had to stamp the image onto the card base, too. I also stamped the eyes on white cardstock and fussy cut those, too. Another CAS card, but I love it for a little boy's birthday card.

Since I had my stamps and papers out, I decided to make a second card:



As part of GIU, Unity sponsors a giveaway. One lucky person will win two Itty Bitty's of his/her choice! To enter to win, leave a comment on this post. Each day, you can leave another comment on my GIU posts for additional chances to win. All comments must be received by 9:00 AM CST on Saturday, and I'll be randomly drawing a name later on Saturday.

Thanks for looking! My final GIU card of the week is tomorrow. :)
