Introducing... Block Party Love Stamp

 Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

Welcome to the final day 4: Introducing the Block Party Love stamp from Uniko!

The stamp set is so amazing with retro vibes and can be used in various techniques and styles. I love the various and cute elements included in this set with super stylish fonts! Perfect for making large and quick cards in one go!

Let's have a look at it in action.

On a textured white card base, I stamped the full set using the Wow Opaque Bright White EP, except the lips and heart image and heat-embossed it. Then I blended kitsch flamingo, picked raspberry and barn door DO inks in an ombre look to highlight the stamped image.

The lips and heart image is stamped using Wow Carousel embossing glitter, heat-embossed, and fussy-cut, both parts. I mounted it in the space using double adhesive tape. I watercoloured some of the images using a pink glitter water brush.

Don't you love the outcome? It's so cute!

Now, time for more inspiration by Uniko Brand Ambassadors at Uniko.

Introducing... Stencil - Ink & Flip Heart Pattern

Hello everyone!

Happy Wednesday! 

Welcome to Day 2: Introducing Ink & Flip Heart Pattern stencil from Uniko, a new addition to this beautiful series!

Today's card features the Ink & Flip Heart Pattern, as we approach Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day pattern card with geometric elements and symbols!

Let’s have a look at the stencil in action…

This card is also fit for the masculine Valentine. It's giving an impression of chocolate in heart shapes. It is great as a plain textured background, and I really love the colour combo on it and fun to create with a variety of colors.

I played with Walnut stain, abandoned coral, salvaged patina, and Speckled egg DO inks. And highlighted this panel with a vellum die cut heart and xoxo die cut sentiment in glittery silver complete this beautiful card.

I hope you enjoyed this card!

It's Beginning To Look Like... Introducing BIG & BOLD Joy

Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

Today is Day 4 and Uniko is introducing a new stamp called: Big & Bold Joy!

Send peaceful wishes this Christmas filled with joy!

With so much unrest in the World, this is the perfect card this season to spread a message of peace. It features festive foliage with a white dove and Joy in the World.

I started with a textured black card base. I stamped the Peace, Love & sentiment. Above this sentiment I added foliage with a dove and heat embossed them in a white puff twinkle.

Then, I stamped the "To the World" sentiment with a tiny circle map element and heat embossed all of them. I placed the Big and Bold Joy world in the centre and heat embossed it. At the top and bottom of the card space, I added falling snow using Background Builders: Winter Wonderland stamp set and heat embossed them using the same EP.

I highlighted all the elements using my Acrylic marker for more fun.

BA inspirations cards: Love

 Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!

Today I am on the Uniko blog with two projects to share using some goodies from UNIKO! I had fun playing around with them. As you all know Valentine's Day is approaching soon.

First up I got all rainbow inky stripes paired with Love!

The Big & Bold love stamp set features a beautiful bold Love word accompanied by some accent images and sentiments and I paired it with Background Blocks Horizontal stripes and Pinstripes stamp set.

These rainbow theme stripes match and show off the fun striped heart image.

Firstly I inked my horizontal stripe image using some newly radiant neon inks set of 4 and I love the result. Then I purposefully stamped the pinstripe look on these stripes. I inked my striped heart and fussy cut it. Then I stamped bold love sentiment along with accompanying sentiment All my. 

For the next card, I combined Decorative doilies digital paper with scattered heart images in a soft radiant neon color.

Firstly I used all 3 sizes of the smaller hearts from the same set. I colored the largest small heart using my blue ZIG watercolour brush pen.

I created a pocket using the decorative doilies paper print. The love sentiment is hand-cut using berry wine pigment ink accompanied by always sentiment. I popped up the pocket above the scattered hearts. I also added some iridescent hearts for more interest.

That's just where my creativity flows! Hope, I inspired you to make some Valentine's cards for your loved ones!

Happy crafting!

Lifetime of Vintage (Romance) Love!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!

"Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze." - Elinor Glyn

Today's project is inspired by this awesome quote!

When one hears the word romance thought of love! Love just makes everything better.

Romance is most certainly an ardent emotional attachment between people, but it can also be the beauty and love you show to yourself. Romance can exist in the sweet, mundane, everyday sorts of things you do for yourself and for others.

Adding everyday romance to your life by getting fresh flowers, spritzing on your favourite fragrance, wearing things you adore and feel wonderful in, singing aloud to your favourite songs, enjoying a cup of coffee or tea from a beloved cup, enjoying your life full of laughter, making your life feel special and divine and making each day have a bit more sparkle to it.

Romance your life and turn that everyday dust into your own, golden haze. You are worth it! Live like there is no tomorrow!!!

Love forever floral with shaker magic!

Hello everyone!

Happy Tuesday!

                                                                   Every woman deserve love, shower her with affection!                                                                                                I am featuring a beautiful Floral Love die with shaker cuteness to spread some love all amongst the women.

Have a look here:

I die cut the floral 2 times, one from gold mirror CS and one from Black CS with negative pieces included. Adhered the gold one on the black one.

Die-cut slimline dotted frames from the gold mirror CS. On my glossy white card base, I adhered a scrap of the gold foil PP and die cut a window panel out of it. Die-cut Love word 2 times from the scrap of black and gold mirror CS. Added the acetate sheet using foam tape.

Filled with shakers. I also added a stamped sentiment label Forever from Mudra.

It's hard to capture the shaker cuteness because of the shadow of gold foiling.

I hope you all enjoying the process!

Happy crafting!

Unforgettable Moments Mixed media home decor hearts

 Hello friends!

Happy Wednesday!

Created some MDF plaques to decor the home wall with my own handmade art in mixed media style.

It's very difficult to take the pic with all 3 pieces together in one frame, I tried my best!

First of all, I started recycling my empty masking tape rolls. Gave them a coat of chalk paints and then added washi tapes. Adjusted the boy and girl toys by glue gun.

Now Applying a coat of gesso and all 3 heart-shaped plaques. Then gave a coat of snow chalk paint to all. Added decoupage napkins pieces to each one.

Added textures using stencils and texture paste to each one.

Now added gold alcohol splash inks to all and somewhere applies copper wax to the textures for more dimension as shown in below pics.

Now added those tape rolls to two of the hearts for boy and girl, Embellished all three using handmade flowers, embellishments and laces.

So here is the final project all 3 pieces together!
