December 2023 New Release Day, Blog hop and giveaway!

Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

Finally, today is a Release day with such fabulous and unique designs this time! Perfect for this wonderful time of the year!!

Here are these 3 mini-release new products............

Background Blocks Layered Stripes £6

Background Blocks Perspective £6

Stencil - In & Flip Snowflake  £4.25

My first card showcasing Background Blocks Layered Stripes!

Firstly I stamped the Layered stripes in Altenew blush ink on a white CS and heat-embossed all the edges of the CS with Wow Rich Gold Pale Gold EP.

On a piece of vellum paper, I created a bauble in Rich Gold Pale EP using Mid Century Modern Baubles stamp set.

Now cover the striped block with that vellum piece and tie it with a copper string. I matted this onto a Pearl Peach CS.

Totally changed the whole look, so Christmas-sy!

Here is my second card showcasing the Background Blocks Perspective stamp!

 

I started by stamping the blocks on a piece of white CS and colored it with my Blue color ZIG watercolor brushes.

The next step is to color the faces of the blocks in smokey blue.

The rest of the blocks on the upper side I colored red and the bottom ones in pink color.

I paired it with the Mid Century Modern Christmas stamp set and the sentiment is from the Most Wonderful stamp set. And matted it on my card base along with red and pink frames. Does this block have so many possibilities to play with!

My final card uses ink and flip Snowflake stencil.

I started by inking a square white panel using seedless preserves DI. Then got this beautiful snowflake in the centre with a star design!

I masked some of the panels and applied blushing berry sparkle paste to the triangular parts only as shown in the below pic.

But after removing the masking tape some of the parts get smudged, so I cut this panel into pieces like this. 

Inked another panel once again and at the center I created a winter scene using Background Builders Winter Wonderland stamp set.

Adhered those sparkled pieces to the main panel and voila love the result!

Day1: Background Blocks Layered Stripes

 Hello everyone!

Happy Tuesday!

Background Blocks Layered stripes are a great addition to the Background Blocks series.

I made a CAS card with multicoloured layered stripes using Altenew inks by masking technique. Then I had an idea that a layered stripes block would be perfect for a present for gifting purposes.

I paired it with Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder stamp set  for a bow and the sentiment is from the Most Wonderful stamp set

October' 23 Release Review, BA Hop and Giveaway!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Saturday!

Time for the latest October Release Review Hop!!

Finally, I received my goodies!! So we came up with a release review blog hop with a lot of inspirations and why not celebrate this moment with a giveaway. Comment on all the blogs for your chance to win a £20 eGift Code to spend in the Uniko store.

This is my favorite Remembrance Stamp set from the release having Poppies and some beautiful sentiments. Autumn is my favorite season, so I am falling in love with these color vibes!

For this, I used ZIG real watercolor brushes to color my poppy flower and fussy cut the colored poppy. On my white card panel, I stamped the other poppy flower using versafine Black ink and popped up the colored one. Added the sentiment and on both corners, I added some splatters with some quilted stencilling using candied apple DI.

Next is with new Autumn Serenade stamp set, another addition to the Serenade style, love this! It has a lot of extra falling leaves too!

I added a lot of DO and DI for the impact of the fall colors as shown in the below pic.

On a white piece of a CS, using my Misti I pressed the Autumn Serenade image. added some extra elements from the same set. Now placed my stamped panel on a  brown CS panel and added the sentiment!

Another addition to the Big and Bold series thank/s/ful clear stamp set. We always need some Thanks sentiment in different styles and there are some accompanying sentiments to add.

For this card, I paired it with Background Builders: Round in clear stamp set. I think these two sets are a perfect match and I love the way it turned out!

I stamped both the outer line and solid leaves in fall colors and fussy cut them. Added the bold thanks with accompanying sentiment and some splatters using color burst orange. To finish it off added a tiny jute bow!

Finally, my last card showcasing Framed Snowflakes clear stamp set along with some accents and I love the Originally Organic feel to it, Perfect for this Christmas season!

I created this card with a monochromatic style and used only half of the part actually! I paired it with a Background Builders: Winter Wonderland clear stamp set.

I started by stamping the background in clear embossing ink sprinkled some Wow opaque seafoam white EP and heat embossed it. I used the tones of blue shades DI and blended them with each other. Added some water droplets to look like the snowfall view. On a strip stamped the Let It Snow sentiment.  Added the white panel along with sentiment using double adhesive tape to a navy blue CS.
