Uniko Sponsors AAA Cards!

Hey!

I'm a little late to the party, various reasons such as designing new stamps, sorting restocks and looking after crazy beans! 

Anyway... Uniko is SUPER DUPER happy to be sponsoring AAA Cards. There is a FABulous celebration and challenge happening HERE as AAA Cards is celebrating their 2nd Birthday. 




There are lots and LOTS of prizes and fun to join in on, so be sure to check it out and I hope you will join in the celebration - you'd be silly not to ;)

As it is a celebration and I haven't had much time to be creative card making wise in the studio I squeezed in a little card making this evening...




Tonight I decided to give the recently released Fun Flowers some inky love, using a lovely quartet of bright cheery colours. I recently purchased a pack of the mini Distress Inks in my favourite colour combo - perfect! 

I also used the current CAS(E) this Sketch! layout seen HERE and below for my card. You got to love a sketch to get the old creative mojo a flowing again ;)




The flowers are stamped onto some SU! Whisper White CS starting with the smallest flower. I then fussy cut them out and layered them onto a white card base using DST. 

The sentiment is from Strike A Pose! and is adhered to the card, overlapping the flowers using foam adhesive. I added a small amount of Wink Of Stella to various parts of the flowers and a tiny rhinestone to the centre of each for that added sparkle ;)




That's all from me today, it is just about my bedtime after a VERY long day! I do hope to see you in the AAA Cards gallery and most of all having fun :)

Until the next time, thanks for stopping by today.

Neutrals, Flowers & Subtle Glitter!

Hey!

Sunday evening here already & I'm sad that it's back to normal routine tomorrow. I'm going to miss having my hubby home 24/7, it makes a difference having two pairs of hands when it comes to playing and looking after my two crazy beans! 

Anyway, I've enjoyed some more creative time tonight and made another card using the current "Less is More" challenge HERE which is to use Neutral colours. Again I reached for the warmer colours of creams & light soft browns.




Another birthday card, this time I decided to use Beautiful Blooms II (back in stock this month) and I paired it with a Mama Elephant die that I have not used yet. Again the sentiment is from Simply Said Birthdays.




The new challenge over at AAA Cards HERE and seen below is to use glitter. I love glitter and I surprised myself that I have used so little on this card! I have added it to the section below the stitching on the die cut border and only the flower centres. 




Ok, that's all from me today, time to do a little 'work' before an episode or two and bed! I've a few Happy Mail parcels to pack :) I'll be back tomorrow with more to share, but until then, thank you for stopping by today.


Supplies:
Card: SU! Whisper White, Very Vanilla & Crumb Cake. Polka Dot from off cut pile! (Bazzill Possibly)
Ink: SU! Soft Suede 
Accessories: SU! Glitter. Mama Elephant Landscape Trio Dies. Glue Pen. Linen Thread & DST.

Birthday Bear!

Hey!

I like that it's Wednesday already, one more day closer to a long weekend with my husband and more more day closer to 'Baby Beans Day'!

Today I have a Birthday Bear card to share with you...




I've been playing along with some challenges again, the first one is "Less is More", the theme HERE being ANIMAL. The second is a new to me challenge called AAA, a regular customer of Uniko Studio, Jane is on the Design Team and the challenge this week is to CAS(E) her card seen HERE and below. 




I used a similar layout & colours to Jane's card but decided to put the little bear inside a negative die cut and make the red the main colour. 




I replicated the gingham/spots pattern on the red areas of Jane's card by stamping a background using Background Builders: Squared. Today I am pleased with how my card has turned out! 

Today I am spending the day doing what I love most, making more cards to share with you for 'A Stamp Set a Day', which I will be sharing here on the blog when I go in to have the baby beans and for a week or so afterwards. I'll be back tomorrow with more to share & until then, thank you for stopping by today :)
