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!

Uniko 12th Birthday Linky Party Brand Ambassador Blog Hop

 Hello to all!

Happy Sunday! Hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

This month is all about celebrating 12 years ðŸŽ‰ of Uniko! Congratulations Bev!!!

 Create a birthday card using Uniko products and share it at the Uniko Birthday Linky party!

Today I created something different from my usual style to celebrate Uniko's 12th Birthday Blog Hop!

I created a card by adding foil using a stencil without any lamination. The result is pretty good........ beautiful and easy!




I took a textured white CS first.




 I took a quilted stencil, applied foil magic mixed media paste and let it dry slightly. When it settled I placed a piece of red foil on this stenciled background and ran it through my sizzix machine for the well-designed image.




The foil shines when the light hits on it!




I used some of the accents from the Mid-Century Modern Florals stamp set and created a design. The sentiment is from the Mid-Century Modern Frames set. I added a red-glittered CS layer before adhering that white panel to my card base.
There is plenty of time to join. The deadline for submission is midnight (GMT) on Thursday 29th February 2024.

The prize is £25 eG.C. Kindly use Uniko products only with 3 Maximum entries per person.

Brand Ambassador Birthday Inspiration Cards!

 

Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

I am on Uniko Blog today! We are celebrating Uniko's 12th Birthday this month! Bev has so many surprises this month with some new releases, blog hops, and giveaways as well! 

I made two Birthday cards with CAS styles to celebrate this fab Birthday month!!

I have used the Background blocks Mid-Century Modern II design on a grey panel. I love this background block, it is so cool!





This is a great retro design for creating a card in one go. I heat-embossed the design using Wow Primary Ebony EP. I colored the semi-circle blocks using my Chameleon pens. Adhered that panel to another black panel on a grey card base.
The birthday sentiment completes the design from the Up & away stamp set.


Now my other card has some shimmery touch in pastel colors.





The white pearl embossing powder looks so well on this textured white paper. Again colored the semi-circle blocks using Chameleon pens. Adhered the white panel to shimmery peach CS and again on a textured white card base. The sentiment is from the Mid-Century Modern Frames set.

Simple card but perfect for celebrations! I hope you feel inspired to make some Birthday cards.

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!
