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.

Autumn vibes with heat embossing technique!

 Hello everyone!

Good morning!

Today I am on Uniko Blog with a set of two cards using the same stamp set but both have a different look as a Brand Ambassador!

Here I used the Just Because stamp set.

Card#1

I combined it with Background Blocks Diagonal Stripes using DI for a rich autumn color look. And I cut all those stripes. Paste them on a square piece with dimensions as shown in the above pic.

On a white panel, I stamped the solid leaves using the same DI and before getting dry I heat-embossed them using Wow Silver Bells EP. I stamped the bottom part only on the striped panel and heat embossed it using Wow Hero EP.

The sentiment is from the same stamp. Tied a jute string along with that diagonal strip panel and added some splatters!

Card #2

On a white piece of CS, I stamped the solid leaves in Versafine Onyx Black ink many times. Before getting them dry use the same heat embossing technique with Siver Bells EP. Now on a plain plastic sheet, I added some DI, sprinkled some water and blended that plastic sheet on that embossed panel, love the results.

Before adding that panel to my card base I added a vellum sheet at the top. Added Bold Wish die with heat embossed big sentiment from the  Big & Bold Wish stamp set and die set.

Hope you all enjoyed the process!

Happy crafting!

Have a good day!

Pure Florals Gerbera with a Butterfly in Fall colors!

Hello friends!

Happy Wednesday!

Who is ready for fall!!! I love the fall colors as the leaves begin to change and the weather turns cooler!

Here is my interpretation of the fall colors........Uniko BA inspiration post!

Here I paired up the Pure Florals Gerbera stencil with English Country Garden Butterflies stamp set.

I started with using Distress inks and white pigment ink using the Gerbera floral stencil in fall colors. After blending the inks I fussy cut the floral image.

On a white piece of CS, I used MOD background Builder stencil and stamped the sentiment from the Yes, You Are stamp set. I love the soft look background with stripes!

Then stamped the largest butterfly, watercolored it with my ZIG watercolor brushes, die-cut it.

In the end, I assembled all the elements with some die-cut leaves. 

Hope you are inspired by these fall colors!

Happy crafting!

Uniko Brand Inspiration: Pure Floral gerbera

 Hello to all!

Happy Wednesday!

Once again I used the Pure Florals Gerbera Stencil to showcase its beauty!

I started with white pigment ink on a wine-red CS. For a detailed and deep look at the centre, I overlapped the centre with aged mahogany DI.

I stencilled the flower 2 times with the same method.

Now on a white CS base at the top, I stencilled some wonky stripes look using Wonky stripe stencil with the same colors.

Now added a sentiment white strip with my inked flowers and some cute stamped flutters-by. I accented it with some white pearls and some Posco white paint dots in the centre of the flowers.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Happy crafting!

Now assembled all the triangles in Rainbow color and created a Christmas tree!

The sentiment is from the Mid Century Modern Baubles set.

. The sentiments are from The Everyday Family sentiments.

Card#4

This is a slimline card with a bright festive look! For my last card, I used the Mid Century Modern Baubles stamp set and I Paired it with the Season Of Beauty stamp set to create my background.

Day 5 - Mid Century Modern Baubles

 Hello friends!

Happy Saturday!

Welcome to day 5 and I hope you enjoyed all previous Introduction stamp sets!

Today is the final day of the release showcasing Mid Century Modern Baubles. This set has so many fab elements that you can combine it with any previous releases!

This looks great as a Retro Christmas theme! Love the festive feel with a stylish Mid Century look. I have so many ideas for this set that you can pair up with other stamp sets available in the store!! Yesterday you saw one of the projects I used some elements from this set!

I have fallen pretty hard for these ornaments! I enjoyed stamping with them. The set is designed with line art and solid images with so many small elements, so you can color with your favorite mediums.

I started with a baby pink CS. I stamped the outlined ornaments first and then filled the design with some solid shapes using Altenew inks as shown in the pic. Then watercolored the outlined images with my ZIG water brushes. I randomly added some images from the Mid-Century Modern Florals set for the starburst pattern in the background. Added the sentiment from the Most Wonderful clear stamp set and dazzled it with some rhinestones for a festive look!

Tomorrow is a release day, so don't forget to come! Visit Uniko Blog for a lot of inspiration from my fellow crafters!

Happy crafting!
