Growing in Unity - Day 3!!

Welcome back!!  Days one and two are here if you missed them! 

I have quite a few stamps that haven't been inked up yet, so while I'm the GIU Gal....I am going to try to pull out as many new un-inked stamps that I can!!  While this set isn't "new" it's new to me!  It's the September 2015 KOM - Our Hearts to Yours.

You may be asking yourself.....Christmas cards in October?!?  And why are they pink?!?!

I started following Jingle Belles a few years ago to "take back December!"  Have you ever stayed up till 1am multiple nights working on Christmas cards to get them finished so they get in the mail with time to be received?!?  I have!  I found Jingle Belles and work on Christmas cards throughout the year.  October is typically Breast Cancer Awareness Month...all things pink including Jingle Belles!  For each card made and posted, the two ladies who started all this will donate $2 to Breast Cancer research.  So this is where my card comes in!

I stamped the background on pink cardstock using the postmark/25 stamp, distressed all over with picked raspberry distress ink.  Colored the tree with pink ornaments (of course)!  The stars were colored yellow and I added some stardust stickles...then distressed that panel as well!  Popped it up, added some twine in pink and natural and finally added some silver star sequins (July 2020 Whit Kit).  

Here is a pink card I made a couple years ago....using Unity's Holiday Joy Christmas Tree itty bitty.  This is one of my favorite go-to Christmas card stamps!  

That's it for Day 3! Be sure to leave a comment on this post or any of my other GIU posts for a chance to win one of two prizes of Unity Stamp goodness!

Two winners will be randomly selected from the list of commenters!  Winners names will be posted here on my blog and also on the Unity Stamp Company Growing in Unity Facebook page!

Thanks for checking these out!  See ya'll again tomorrow!!
