Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Kindness Cards

 Bonjour !

Izzy here with two inspiration cards that I'm combining with the current challenge over at Day of the Month Card Club where the theme is all about Kindness.

Everything started when I wanted to create my DT card for the DotMCC challenge. I first thought of a bold image stamped in black on which I wanted to glue a bold sentiment with part of the design coloured. But when I tried it, I didn't like the result. So I had in hand, from one part the coloured die cut and on the other part, the stamped image on a white card.

So I kept the sentiment die cut for the DotMCC DT card and I decided to share with you here what I've done with the stamped image coming from the Hello Lovely set...

I decided to let the stamped image in white and to add the colour for the background. So I simply masked the image and I applied some Distress inks (Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo & Salvaged Patina) with brushes over the background.

To finish the card I stamped the sentiment coming from the same set and I made some splatters with water.

As I told you, I kept the sentiment die cut for the DotMCC card but I didn't want to throw away the other part of this cutout, so I used it to make this card...

This time I stamped the whole image on a white card stock but in light grey. I glued the cutout and coloured part on top and I filled it with a white die cut sentiment.

To finish my card I simply added some coloured gems.

Et voilà ! I hope that I inspired you and that next time you start with a card that you don't really like, you won't throw it away but will think of what you could do with it.

And here is a sneak peek of the card I made for the DotMCC challenge...

Celebrating 12 Years - February 2024/12th Birthday Release Sneak Peeks Day 2 🎉

 

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Welcome back to day two of the NEW Release Sneak Peeks. It might be a small release, and I'm stretching it out. But I'm pretty excited about these additions to the Uniko line up and I think they pack a punch. 

So let's have a look at the last two peeks...

This first peek today is a fun sentiment addition. I think those who loved the sentiments in the Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder will LOVE these new additions! 

Lastly for the February 2024/12th Birthday Release Sneak Peeks is a new addition to the Background Blocks series. You might recognise this design from a previously released stencil. As much as I love the stencil, I love stamps too and I couldn't resist adding this fun design to the collection. 

That's all for the sneak peeks, but I'm super excited as that means tomorrow we get to see the products in action. I hope you will join myself and the Brand Ambassadors here on the blog.

Celebrating 12 Years - February 2024/12th Birthday Release Sneak Peeks Day 1 🎉

 

Hello & Happy Monday!

I don't think there is a better way to start the week than with some NEW Release Sneak Peeks. It might be a small release, and I'm stretching it out. But I'm pretty excited about these additions to the Uniko line up and I think they pack a punch. 

So let's have a look at the first two peeks...

This first peek is of a new two layer stencil and I think you might just FLIP about this one 😜 If you are loving our unique Ink & Flip stencils and geometrics. This one is for you. 

Next up is a fun Mid Century Modern inspired sentiment and birthday themed clear stamp set. This is fabulous on its own, but it also stretches the uses of all the previously released products in the Mid Century Modern Collection. 

Just the two sneak peeks today, you'll have to come back tomorrow to see more!
