Day 2 ...... Introducing: Flower Power #9

 Hello everyone!

Happy Wednesday!

Oh, my sweet bees!!

Welcome back to Day 2! Today Introducing the Flower Power series #9, another addition. This set has many elements with hexagon-shaped flowers and I adore the sweet buzzing bee with such cute sentiments.




I randomly stamped the honeycomb image with mustard seed distress ink for a grungy look on a white scalloped frame die-cut panel.
I stamped the bee with I miss you sentiment. Added the smallest hexagon flower in black, complimenting perfectly with this sentiment. 
At the bottom using the masking tape, stamped some flowers in black with rhinestones to glam up!







I am so positive that once you have tried the new Hexagon-shaped flowers, you will be amazed at how well they work and how beautiful the textures are! 
For this card, I created a rainbow color theme with hexagon flowers using different distress inks and bees amongst them, like a garden. The sentiment is from the same set. Added crystal clear pearl drops to the flower centre.

Super easy and cute.

Day1..... Introducing Ink & Flip Geometric Hexagon

 Hello to all!

Happy Tuesday!


I am excited to show the June first release product: Ink & Flip Geometric Hexagon Stencil! 

Great combination of Art and Math, the possibilities are endless!

This one may be for me. You can make many patterns using this ink & flip stencil and create a card for any occasion by changing colors, textures, and techniques!

Here is the first idea I had with my first try with the new two-layered Hexagon pattern stencil!




To create my background I placed my first layer of the stencil and applied distress inks. Then, I flipped my same stencil and inked again using a foam brush. In the center, you will get a hexagon. Now I adhered my second layer of the stencil to create a Pattern inside the Hexagon. The bee hive with a bee's knees with a sentiment from the Bee Happy stamp set.



I tried to keep a dimensional look for the guys in your life with my next design.
There is so much to notice in these pieces! The more you did, the more possibilities you saw.....!!




I created the geometric Hexagons in shades of brown with 3D dimensions at the center panel using the Hexagon pattern stencil. Masked both sides and applied Altenew peach perfect, dark chocolate, caramel toffee and paper bag ink. I trimmed the extra piece in length and added that trimmed piece using foam tape for the dimension with a Birthday sentiment from the Big & Bold Happy stamp set. 
It's got that retro, mid-century look that I love!

The addition of the loop idea came from my dear Bev's flower card and inspired me to add this beautiful flower black ribbon loop. In my opinion, it gives an aesthetic look, what do you think........! Finished it off with some rhinestones.

In the meantime, check out more inspirations by our fab Uniko Brand Ambassadors here:

June Masculine revisit

 Hello friends!

Happy Monday! 


Today I am at Uniko Blog with some new inspirations!  

I love this nautical stamp from Uniko, it is perfect for creating Masculine cards! 


Card 1




I inked the bottom edge of the card using Background Blocks splatter in various blue inks. Then, I created waves in circles using Background Builders" Round in circle stamp set and placed the Yacht in a wavy sea.
The compass stamp and a sentiment finished the card with simplicity!


Card 2


For this card, I came out of my comfort zone and created this simple card with a mix of patterns.





I created the bottom edge using Round in circle stamp set 2 times leaving some space to fill the red color in between. 
I stamped the Yacht and paper pieced it to create the pattern and placed a pattern paper strip on a red space too and was pleased with the result! The sentiment is from the same set.


Have a wonderful day!
Happy crafting!

The dots are from the Balloon Bash stamp set and I finished it with My Life is Better sentiment.

Brand Ambassador Inspiration: Background Block MOD Builder stamp and stencil cards

 Hello friends!

Happy Monday!

Today I am showcasing the beautiful stamp and stencil from Uniko: Background Block MOD Builder!

Card 1

This Background Block MOD Builder stamp totally amazed me with its pattern block, so many possibilities. Do you agree with me!!!

I created a Masculine style card in grey tones! 


I started with a whole block from the upper side on a white panel and then the lower side using archival jet black ink. Then I filled the Neutral grey color using a Copic Marker in the whole pattern. I adhered that patterned panel to the black base card. Added another white panel with a sentiment I Miss You from the Just Because stamp set. Simply finished it off with some black pearls.



Card 2

The next card showcases the Background Block Mod Builder stencil with the same pattern in multicolored spring gardening. I used only the centre part of the stencil.



The repeating pattern makes it perfect. I used different Distress inks to create the pattern and cut the panel from the center. The sentiment is from the Just Because stamp set and is finished with a few white pearls in the center of the flowers.

Working with these two was so much fun!
Happy crafting!

March Non- Release Spring Botanicals Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway!

Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!

Spring has already arrived with so many beautiful blooms! Today is a bright and sunny day here after two days of rain........ I made two cards for today's hop and making me smile out loud because I know spring is already in the air YAY!

We are giving love to the Spring Botanical series!

To make this card I used the Spring Botanicals Daffodil stamp set. Since our daffodils just started blooming this week in my park, why not use this beautiful stamp and give it some love!!




I stamped the daffodil flower in Black archival ink. I paired it with the Background Blocks splatter stamp set using DI.



Then I watercolored the flower using the distressed inks.




I stamped the sentiment using black archival ink and layered it to my metallic olive green CS.




In the end, finished it off with some black sequins. Love the watercolor look!


Card 2





I used the same set in a different style for my other card.





On a piece of white CS, I stamped the image using DI. I watercolored it with the same inks and then fussy cut it for a dimensional look. To create my background, I paired it with the Mid-Century Modern Squares stencil. The mowed lawn ink is blended on the bigger white panel and the squeezed lemonade ink is blended on the small white panel to match my daffodil flower. I love the soft look I achieved on this.




The sentiment is from the same set and I finished it with some lemon and apple green sequins.
I had so much fun with these. Hope I inspired you!
