Repetition...

TGIF Peeps!

It's Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK so what does that mean apart from a long weekend...? Rain - most likely! Which means more crafting time for me - YAY! 

I've got a bit of a repetition thing going on on this card...

This card came about from one of the Moxie FAB World challenges going on at the moment. Wednesday's challenge HERE is based on the Repetition rule you often find in card design. Now, I do love a bit of repetition and was looking through my Uniko Studio stamps and thought - Ooooh! I haven't used the large single quatrefoil stamp from Background Builders - Lattice on a card for a while so out it came. 

The current sketch from Freshly Made Sketches HERE and seen below is the perfect LO for a bit of repetition ...

And the colours for my card are from the current ColourQ challenge colours HERE and seen below...

So much used for one card yet it's so simple! I used a simple masking technique when stamping the image and I used my Copic Markers to colour them in creating an ombre feel to it. 

That's all from me today, you DEFO wanna stop by the blog tomorrow as I have much to share with you all. Not giving too much away but there is some more FREE stuff & a 'call' of some sort! 

Thanks for stopping by.

A Multitude of Doilies!

Hey!

Today I have another card set to show you ...

Again this card took me less than 10 minutes to make so I made a whole batch to put together as a gift set. I'm trying to get a few products together for Designers Marketplace in December. It seems ages away but I know it'll creep up on me if I don't start doing the odd thing! 

Here's a close up ...

Using a neutral colour scheme I paired various doilies from The Hands Of Time - Decorative Doilies and paired them with sentiments from Time and Extra Time. A simple button tied with jute finished the sentiment panel off.

Here's the set ...

I've just the insides to finish which will be a kraft mat layer left blank and then the packaging to make them presentable! 

That's all from me today, thanks for stopping by!

Feeling Distressed ...

Hey!

Wow, Wednesday already, Time flies that's for sure! So, at the weekend I took a little time out to test play with my NEW Tim Holtz Distress Markers. Yep, you heard me right, this CAS girl has jumped on the 'Distress' wagon!

But ... I'm keeping it CAS! Is that possible and as Kerry said "That sentence kinda messes with your head!"

One thing I am really 'loving' at the moment but haven't really explored or tried out is the watercolour look on cards. It's been popping up here and there in the design world and wanted to try it out. So after watching a couple of tutorial videos I gave my Distress Markers a whirl! 

I started off really simple choosing a few colours and doing the direct to stamp colouring method. Yep, I realise that I could have just used my SU! markers for this technique but I think there is a bit of a difference in the result and I don't like feeling left out! Lol!

Here's a close up ...

After I had colour the solid Gerbera stamp with my chosen colours I gently spritzed with water before stamping onto regular white card stock. I'm looking forward to trying this out on different card stocks for different results but this is what I had on hand and I kinda like it. 

A 'distressed' CAS card! How about a few more to make it a lovely gift set, in a rainbow of colours ...

One card took me less than 10 minutes to make which is perfect when your in a hurry! They're also perfect for a NEW to me challenge blog Pretty Pink Posh, I stumbled upon their 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge HERE. 

I'm also entering these into the Moxie FAB World Focal Point challenge HERE. That's all from me today, thanks for stopping by.

Another one for the boys ...

Hey!

I had SO much fun using the current Retro Sketch I used yesterday HERE, HERE and seen below that I had to make one more card for the BOYS for the Addicted To Stamps Challenge HERE...

This turned out a little less CAS than yesterdays card, with using the patterned digital downloadable paper & pairing it with the clocking in card & pocket watch. I think it's rather fun though & draws your focus to the pocket watch, making that the focal point of the card. 

Moxie FAB World have a challenge HERE all about focal points on cards, so I thought it quite fitting to enter this card over there too! Why not go check it out & have a go.

Here's the sketch ...

And a close up of the focal point ...

A Card For Any Occasion

Hello & Happy Monday!

How are we all? Ready for a NEW week? I'm still catching up with jobs this week, though my schedule is a little less busy so I might just get caught up on scheduling some blog posts at the regular time! 

Anyhow, I'm here today to share a card that can be used for any occasion ...

For this card I used the current Retro Sketch HERE and seen below. I had the TIME stamp set on my desk from my last card so decided to make a girly graphic flower card in a fresh colour combination. I added some buttons for good measure to the flower centres which fits nicely into the DYSU (Do Yo Stack Up) challenge of buttons HERE.

I added some extra bling by heat embossing the dots on the mat panel, here's a close up ...

It's much more sparkly IRL, promise! So that's all from me today, have a lovely day & thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:

Card Stock: PTI Kraft, SU! Pool Party, WPlus9 White

Am I the only one ...?

Hello & Happy Weekend!

Am I the only one who enjoys making cards for the men in our lives?! I love a good 'masculine' card challenge so when I saw the current card challenge over on Addicted To Stamps HERE I had to join  in ...

The challenge is to make a card for the men in our lives. Now, the Uniko Studio TIME and EXTRA TIME stamp sets are perfect for making a masculine card! 

I used the current Freshly Made Sketch HERE and seen below for the layout of my card, it came together in under 15 minutes which is perfect at the moment due to how busy things are in The Studio!

I used my 'go to' colour combo for masculine cards! Here's a close up ...

I bought myself some NEW crafting tools to design with ... Tim Holtz Distress Markers, they should arrive today so hopefully I will find some time to 'play' with them today! I have some essential jobs to complete in The Studio which is all good, if you've signed up for the Uniko Studio NEWSLETTER HERE you will be getting an email shortly telling you about some exciting things to come in the few days! 

There is still plenty of time to enter the GIVEAWAY HERE too! I can't believe so few have signed up - it's FREE stuff after all!! It's open internationally so why not have a go!! 

OK, time for me to sign off & get these jobs completed! Thanks for stopping by.

I was inspired by this card I'd seen on Pinterest & loved the LO I just had to have a go using Uniko Studio stamps!
