Uniko 11th Birthday Release In Review Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway!

 Hello friends!

Happy Friday!

I am back with the review release hop as last time due to some International Post office issues the package didn't arrive on the time. 

Here are the latest releases pic and Bev, the owner of the Uniko studio decided for another chance to win with a blog hop and giveaway!!!

I fell in love when I got the Uniko UP & Away stamp set and Cloud 9 stencil in my hands, so many ideas came to my mind and finally I come up with my watercoloring technique background using Cloud 9 stencil only.

Here are the pics of how I started with my background using this versatile stencil, so many options.....

I used Liquid watercolors to create my background full of cloudy sky and the edge of the sea.

I stamped the images and watercolored them using my ZIG brushes.

Here is the final outcome!

Can you see the silver shining clouds???

Hope you enjoyed it!

Don't forget to purchase any stuff from the Uniko Brand!

Hello!

For today card, I started off by creating the scattered polka dot pattern on my main panel. 

PS: Yay! I won the challenge here!!!

On a stitched rectangle white die cut panel I adhered my stencil and applied embossing ink through my sponge dauber. Then spread the bonding powder and after heating added blue foil on the top. And run through my Bigshot machine for equal pressure. Voila, great foil dots appeared. It is my first trial ever without using any machine.

Next, I adhered my piece on a blue mirror CS and then a white base card panel. I die cut a stitched circle in white framed it on blue mirror CS circle. Die-cut a happy word and stamped birthday sentiment in blue.

Then I stamped a flower and leaf, heat embossed them in silver sparkle EP. Then watercoloured them and fussy cut all. I adhered my flower and leaf with foam squares for some dimension. And finished it off with some silver sequins!

I really hope you like my card with foil element to shine!

Happy crafting!

Snapshot!

 Hello everyone!

For my card, I created a jungle scene and the theme is the point of view!

I used a super cute stamp called Wild things and colored it with my Zig markers. 

I then used a scalloped frame for the scene and adhered it to my Kraft card base.

I paired my image with a Leaf stencil to create my background since I wanted to capitalize on the jungle feel on it. I added a snapshot sentiment in black and popped this base with dimensions. I used a polaroid die for my picture frame and added a die-cut word Perfect which is already distressed. 

And die cut some wild greenery leaves and tucked them near the frame to look like jungle foliage.

I added a cute camera for this photoshoot which is paper pieced and enhance the beauty of this scene with some tiny flowers from my stash. Added some sheen to my giraffe image. Hard to catch.

Hoping you enjoyed my card today!

Wishing you a wonderful day!

Designer Shaped Gate Fold card

Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

Today, I am showing you how to make a shaped gatefold card using designer border die and this one is simplest!

For this, I used a textured rich red card base in A4 size. Scored at 3'' from each side and burnished the folds well with a bone folder for the crisp edges. Using my designer scalloped borders die, I die cut both the front panels. Now I placed my scattered polka dots stencil on both the gatefold flaps and heat embossed some dots in gold sparkle and some in red ink.

I stamped the flower and leaves images on white cardstock. First I heat embossed the outlined images using gold metallic sparkle EP and layered the floral images in hot summer ink colors using shades of red, yellow and green. Fussy cut them all.

Die-cut a scalloped circle out of red and a stitched circle out of white CS. Arranged my flowers.

Adhered it to the left side of the opening in the centre ensuring that only the left half closure piece attached well.

Created a panel for the inside out of white CS and decorated it as well.

Close-up picture of the sentiment.

Hoping you all enjoyed the project.

Happy crafting!

Yes you! You are loved

Hello to all!

Happy Thursday!

I pulled out one of my new favourite stamp set for my card, keeping it CAS.

And this card can be used for any celebrations!

There is a challenge at Less is more using solid and outline image as well. 

I chose a very soft colour to create a wonky striped watercoloured background on a stitched rectangle using a stencil. Added some splatters.

I first stamped the outlined floral image in Coral berry and solid part in with cotton candy and frosty pink Altenew inks. Stamped the leaf part as well in Evergreen ink and solid with frayed leaf ink. Fussy cut them.

Adhered my focal panel to my white card base. The sentiment is from another stamp set using Coral berry ink. Arranged the floral and leaf image using foam dots.

What do you think, I just love this card with a soft look! 

I don't think it needs any embellishment :)D

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy crafting!

Let's Party!

Hi everyone! 

Hoping all of you enjoying your day!

I created a fun birthday shaker card.

http://alessandrasangels.blogspot.com/2020/07/challenge-36-and-winner-of-challenge-35.html

I am inspired by colourful pile and pinata with a white base.

I used the MFT stamp set for cute critter images an adorable tiger and a bird holding a balloon string and removed the monkey image after stamping it. Coloured it with my Chameleon pens and fussy cut it.

The confetti dots paper in gold with colourful splatters just helps add to the festivity.

On my white card base adhered that main panel with a shiny yellow strip. Added that image in the middle. Now die cut a trio of Birthday balloons, watercoloured them and outlined it with my golden pen for a festive touch. Drew the string line and added those party balloons.

 Now created my shaker panel with fun shaker elements with confetti.

Die-cut Let's Party phrase in golden sheet and added it on the OHP sheet.

Hoping you enjoyed it!

Cute as a button Baby Layout!

Hi everyone!

I 'm back to share with you my baby layout for DCAM blog inspiration. A soft, delicate, little vintage page in light pink and blue shades, made with lots of collectables, chipboard elements,  fussy cut flowers, shaker element, stamping and dies.

I think you can imagine how excited I'm, presenting my first scrapbooking baby layout!

I fell in love with Bundle of Joy collection critter sheet! I love the cute baby images, baby related elements, glossy print, colors, the flowers:D

God's most beautiful thoughts bloom into children! Babies are always such a miracle that brought joy to our lives with such a little body........My sweet baby layout symbolizes the word Yesterday as the past memories of the times gone by...... every dream come true with all happiness, love, affection, made our life complete! For this layout, I choose a sweet baby pic with the vintage feel on it!

The cute baby images inspired me to try something different this time! I fussy cut every little piece of this critter sheet with all tiny details. I wanted to create a composition of flowers around the baby image and all cute little elements to showcase as well, so created this little scene!
I also added a strip of a corrugated off-white sheet and added strips of pattern papers too, inked all of the pink scrap paper edges with distress ink, with the scissors I slightly distressed the edges too and curled them for more texture and dimension. Love the effect and textures which are giving perfect volume to this beautiful LO!
I matted my baby photo onto a pink sheet and also used a chipboard frame, heat embossed it. I also used some die cut leaves, fussy cut watercolour floral critter sheet to add underneath my photo.
I did some stamping too around my striped paper with some double stitched lines.

For the duo leaves, I used an ink smooshed technique using distress ink and die cut them. Made a cute shaker too with scallop circle dies filled with confetti Sprinklers in Multicolor with a baby bib! Die cut stitched tags also from some patterned papers along with a sentiment banner from the same critter sheet and ties up with a pink twine.

Here are some close-ups:

Then I started to create my layers on the page with lots of flowers and leaves, clouds, rainbows and all the tiny elements I added on scalloped circles with dimension.

I heat embossed one of the clouds using embossing powder for more dimension and realistic look.

The black banner sentiments are from the same critter sheet and giving depth to the image. Added a text chipboard sentiment Dream and heat embossed in pink glitter for textures.

I like the final result and Hoping you also enjoyed too!

To finish it off I added some of the embellishments from my collection to decorate my layout, like a pom-pom frilled lace, crochet flowers, luxury button, prima flowers, a cute dragonfly and few hearts!
This has been a fun collection to work with!

Happy crafting!
