Day 5: Introducing Flower Power 12

 Hello everyone!

Happy Wednesday!

Today is the last day of the Introduction of a new release at Uniko: Flower Power 12 stamp set!

I love this new set, having outlined and solid images with leaf patterns. The font of the sentiments is amazing, too!

To create my card, I began by stamping the solid image flowers in red pigment ink. Then I stamped the leaves in hickory smoke ink. I colored the leaves using a grey brush marker. The sentiment is from the same set. I placed silver glitter strips to enhance the beauty of this card and added a few silver pearls.

Introduction Day 1......... Butterfly serenade

 Hello crafty Friends!

Happy Tuesday!

Welcome to Uniko's April Release Introduction Day 1. The beautiful Butterfly Serenade stamp set is one more addition to the Serenade series, featuring some beautiful solid and outlined butterflies.

I wanted to make a simple CAS card to showcase this beauty. I stamped the Butterfly Serenade image on a piece of white cardstock using twisted citron and pine needles DI. I watercolored the outlined butterflies using ZIG watercolor brushes. The sentiment is from the same stamp set, and I placed this panel on my Bottle Green card base.

Check out the Uniko Blog for more inspiration today and all the other DT blogs.

See you tomorrow for more Introduction fun!

Have a wonderful day!

Happy crafting!

Snow

Hello everyone!

Happy Saturday!

 Are you ready for a beautiful winter card with snowflakes............ Snow love is here, my Uniko Brand Ambassador inspiration!

  I stamped my snowflakes from the framed snowflakes stamp set on a white card panel using the Unchanted Mariner DI. Then I ink-blended my background using picked raspberry and lumber plaid DI.

Once again I heat embossed in opaque bright white EP for more snowflake elements from the same set and added some splatters using silver perfect pearl. I love the wholesome look!

I used the bold snow die with outline coverage in a white scrap piece, which was left after blending the background with a glitter silver CS. To finish it off, I added the Let It sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed this card!

Happy crafting!

 

June Masculine revisit

 Hello friends!

Happy Monday! 

Today I am at Uniko Blog with some new inspirations!  

I love this nautical stamp from Uniko, it is perfect for creating Masculine cards! 

Card 1

I inked the bottom edge of the card using Background Blocks splatter in various blue inks. Then, I created waves in circles using Background Builders" Round in circle stamp set and placed the Yacht in a wavy sea.

The compass stamp and a sentiment finished the card with simplicity!

Card 2

For this card, I came out of my comfort zone and created this simple card with a mix of patterns.

I created the bottom edge using Round in circle stamp set 2 times leaving some space to fill the red color in between. 

I stamped the Yacht and paper pieced it to create the pattern and placed a pattern paper strip on a red space too and was pleased with the result! The sentiment is from the same set.

Have a wonderful day!

Happy crafting!

Day1: Background Blocks Layered Stripes

 Hello everyone!

Happy Tuesday!

Today is the introduction Day 1 of the December 2023 mini-release! 

Background Blocks Layered stripes are a great addition to the Background Blocks series.

I made a CAS card with multicoloured layered stripes using Altenew inks by masking technique. Then I had an idea that a layered stripes block would be perfect for a present for gifting purposes.

I paired it with Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder stamp set  for a bow and the sentiment is from the Most Wonderful stamp set

That's so simple and cute present, isn't it!

Kindly come back tomorrow for another stamp introduction. Just curious to see what my teammates created with this awesome stamp, here is the list:

Autumn vibes with heat embossing technique!

 Hello everyone!

Good morning!

Today I am on Uniko Blog with a set of two cards using the same stamp set but both have a different look as a Brand Ambassador!

Here I used the Just Because stamp set.

Card#1

I combined it with Background Blocks Diagonal Stripes using DI for a rich autumn color look. And I cut all those stripes. Paste them on a square piece with dimensions as shown in the above pic.

On a white panel, I stamped the solid leaves using the same DI and before getting dry I heat-embossed them using Wow Silver Bells EP. I stamped the bottom part only on the striped panel and heat embossed it using Wow Hero EP.

The sentiment is from the same stamp. Tied a jute string along with that diagonal strip panel and added some splatters!

Card #2

On a white piece of CS, I stamped the solid leaves in Versafine Onyx Black ink many times. Before getting them dry use the same heat embossing technique with Siver Bells EP. Now on a plain plastic sheet, I added some DI, sprinkled some water and blended that plastic sheet on that embossed panel, love the results.

Before adding that panel to my card base I added a vellum sheet at the top. Added Bold Wish die with heat embossed big sentiment from the  Big & Bold Wish stamp set and die set.

Hope you all enjoyed the process!

Happy crafting!

Have a good day!

Pure Florals Gerbera with a Butterfly in Fall colors!

Hello friends!

Happy Wednesday!

Who is ready for fall!!! I love the fall colors as the leaves begin to change and the weather turns cooler!

Here is my interpretation of the fall colors........Uniko BA inspiration post!

Here I paired up the Pure Florals Gerbera stencil with English Country Garden Butterflies stamp set.

I started with using Distress inks and white pigment ink using the Gerbera floral stencil in fall colors. After blending the inks I fussy cut the floral image.

On a white piece of CS, I used MOD background Builder stencil and stamped the sentiment from the Yes, You Are stamp set. I love the soft look background with stripes!

Then stamped the largest butterfly, watercolored it with my ZIG watercolor brushes, die-cut it.

In the end, I assembled all the elements with some die-cut leaves. 

Hope you are inspired by these fall colors!

Happy crafting!

Uniko Brand Inspiration: Pure Floral gerbera

 Hello to all!

Happy Wednesday!

Once again I used the Pure Florals Gerbera Stencil to showcase its beauty!

I started with white pigment ink on a wine-red CS. For a detailed and deep look at the centre, I overlapped the centre with aged mahogany DI.

I stencilled the flower 2 times with the same method.

Now on a white CS base at the top, I stencilled some wonky stripes look using Wonky stripe stencil with the same colors.

Now added a sentiment white strip with my inked flowers and some cute stamped flutters-by. I accented it with some white pearls and some Posco white paint dots in the centre of the flowers.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Poinsettia art print with stripes!

Hello to all!

Happy Sunday! Hope you all are enjoying your day!

I love experiments and created this art print idea using the same stamp set with stripes! This is my other inspiration post as Uniko Brand Ambassador!

I stamped the horizontal stripes on a piece of white CS to create the background using cracked pistachio DI.

Stamped some solid big poinsettia flowers randomly using abandoned coral DI

And then small poinsettia filler flowers on the same flower designs using crackling campfire DI.

Now stamped the outlined flower image overlapping with stamped images and heat embossed using opaque bright white EP. Added the dots in the flower centre using fired brick DI. Before adhering this focal panel to my card base added a red CS layer with an embossed sentiment.

Hope you like the artistic look of the repeated pattern and are inspired to create yours!

Happy crafting!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

"Bloom with grace and let your color shine,

Focus on the joy and beauty

That flowers bring to various moods and moments in your life."

Today, I am representing an Art Journal page with a lot of layered die cut flowers and repeated geometric rhombus patterns in different sizes.

I started by stamping some rhombus and argyle shapes in various sizes.

Then die cut some layered flowers and shaped them. Embossed a piece of white CS and created some rhombus shapes using gold frames.

Added the sentiments and assembled the whole scene using a lot of stickers featuring a girl image, different foiled flowers, and butterflies.

Here are some close-ups:

 Hello friends!

Happy Friday!

I am back with the review release hop as last time due to some International Post office issues the package didn't arrive on the time. 

Here are the latest releases pic and Bev, the owner of the Uniko studio decided for another chance to win with a blog hop and giveaway!!!

I fell in love when I got the Uniko UP & Away stamp set and Cloud 9 stencil in my hands, so many ideas came to my mind and finally I come up with my watercoloring technique background using Cloud 9 stencil only.

Here are the pics of how I started with my background using this versatile stencil, so many options.....

I used Liquid watercolors to create my background full of cloudy sky and the edge of the sea.

I stamped the images and watercolored them using my ZIG brushes.

Here is the final outcome!
