Founded in 2023
Our goal is to make homemade cards for hospitalized and sheltered kids, in the hope for it to brighten their day. The name stems from the words "beautify" and "butterfly." Butterflies represent hope and happiness which are symbols we want the cards to exude.

HOW DID IT START?
As I sat and pondered about how I could help the community by pursuing something I've always loved, making cards and crafts, my mom sparked the idea of making cards. At first, I was hesitant, but then I began to fall in love with the idea. For a little background about me, I grew up making cards for both of my parents on birthdays and anniversaries. There was something so rewarding with the smile that ran across their face when they opened it (P.S. The younger ones were not even that good, might I add). As I got older, my talents began to grow. My cards are simple, cartoony, and cute. This was something I wanted to bring to others: especially kids. I know, growing up, the importance of implementing art within a child's life. It is both relaxing and takes off the ideas running through a kid's mind. I chose to give back to hospitalized and sheltered kids because I believe they are going through some of the toughest challenges one can go through at that age. - Liam Kakuda, Founder and Designer
