Happy Holidays!

Hi to all!

Happy Monday!

Back with another card!


I embossed a white sheet using Dot frame EF. Die cut a stitched oval shape and one of the scroll banners, Stapmed the cute penguin image, and x-mas tree with lights, watercolored them with my ZIG water brushes, and fussy cut them. Added the sentiment using red DI on the die cut banner.




Now matted it on a red CS as shown in the below pic.




Hope you all like it!
Happy crafting!

Hello Santa!

Hello friends!

Happy Monday!

As you already know Itsy Bitsy is having a contest with a Christmas theme! So I am showcasing a card to inspire you all!

You all know Itsy Bitsy has a great collection of Christmas clear stamp sets and I picked some stamps from the Christmas collections.

I stamped the Santa Clause image and gift image on a white ultra smooth CS, watercolored it with ZIG brushes and fussy cut it. Embossed a paper using stars EF and stamped the sentiment on a white sheet as shown in the pic.



I inked some of the embossed background parts at the bottom using DI.




Here is the final layout of the card. Before adhering to all the images I added a strip of pink glittered sheet.

 


Hope you like this!

Happy crafting!

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
Copyright Uniko Ltd 2012 - To Date



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!

Introdition Day 2: Background Blocks Perspective

 Hi to all!

Happy Wednesday!

I am back here on the 2nd day of introductions to the new mini-release from Uniko! 

The stamp is another addition to the Background Blocks series: Background Blocks Perspective

It has such a modern trendy design element with a cool 3D style and can be perfect for Masculine and Birthday cards, banners, and posters too

So many possibilities with this background Block stamp!






I heat-embossed the blocks using Wow Pearl EP and love the outcome on the black. Added the chalky effect for the transparent look using chalk powders.





The sentiment is from the Most Wonderful stamp set.

Day1: Background Blocks Layered Stripes

 Hello everyone!

Happy Tuesday!

Today is the introduction Day 1 of the December 2023 mini-release! 

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

That's so simple and cute present, isn't it!

Kindly come back tomorrow for another stamp introduction. Just curious to see what my teammates created with this awesome stamp, here is the list:
