CAS Colours & Sketches Guest Designer

Hey!

I'm back this afternoon with my third Guest Designer card & post for CAS Colours & Sketches, I'm sure having a lot of fun in the studio at the moment and the colours & sketches for November are certainly 'challenging' me to step outside of my comfort zone! 

Anyway, this week is colour week & these are the yummy colours, they have suggested Stampin' Up! colours but you can use any brand as long as the colours are as close to the challenge as possible.

Such a lovely colour combo and this is what I came up with...

I've been wanting to create a wedding card since I got the November release stamps, but never got round to it during release week. So when I saw the challenge colours I immediately thought, weddings! 

I have combined 4 Uniko clear stamp sets on my card, Jingle Bells, Flower Power #6, Natures Treasures II and Pure Florals: Chrysanthemum. I don't have the SU! colours above, so I used SU! Calypso Coral & VersaMagic Oasis Green. 

All the leaves, flowers & bells are fussy cut out & then layered together on the card & adhered using double sided tape. The sentiment from Pure Florals: Chrysanthemum is stamped in Silver Encore ink but not embossed with stardust EP like the bells. I finished my card off with a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins for good measure!

That's all I have for today on this blog, but I do have my the Stamp Of The Week card HERE. Be sure to stop on by the CAS Colours & Sketches blog HERE to join in on the challenge & I look forward to seeing your creations in the gallery. 

Introducing... Jingle Bells

Hey & Happy Monday!

I am SO happy you have stopped by today, here at Uniko I am in full swing with the November Release & today we have the next product introduction :)

Today three of the UK based Uniko DT are joining me & WOW they've whipped up some beauties to share with you! 

First up a I have a couple of cards to share with you, both of my cards are mini 10.5 x 10.5cm square to give you a better idea of size.

My first card today features the large Jingle & Bells sentiment from the set, which are two separate stamps. I wanted to keep my card super CAS and paired it with the two smaller sized bells which are stamped in gold. I then drew in the hanging threads and the little bow is from Rustic Christmas.

Next I wanted to show you the holly & ribbon paired with the layered poinsettia...

Now, without a stamp positioner (I need to add a MISTI to my Christmas list) the poinsettia can be a little tricky to line up as it is a petite but cute poinsettia :) I stamped the poinsettia in Red Magic VersaMagic then, one layer in SU! Rose Red & two layers in Encore Gold ink. Then I set about fussy cutting it out which is an obsession of mine (fussy cutting that is!).

The holly & ribbon come as one stamp, which I stamped in Tea Leaves VersaMagic ink & added the holly detail with Hint Of Pesto VersaMagic. A trio of berries, glitter to the ribbon & sentiment from Essentially Christmas & I was done!

Anyway, that's all from me but I know the DT have made some wonderful samples in such a short space of time, so be sure to pop on by to their blogs below to see more...
