Lots Of Thanks

Hey!

I do hope your week has got off to a good start. I've had a reasonably good start here at Uniko Studio HQ, slowly getting through the to do list! One of my things to do was make a start on my Christmas Thank you's and I managed to do that yesterday. The card I am sharing today is one of the cards I made...




I've kept it pretty simple, letting the sentiments take the focus. Still loving Washi tape and to dust Wonderful Washi off again I made my own washi tape in two colours. Those who know me will know that I have really stepped out of my comfort zone by tearing the edges of the washi tape I made! 




When I am using DST I have to cut it off the roll using scissors, I simply can't tear it as it's too messy, just one of my little OCD things! I also made a little tiny dent in my embellishment box and used a SU! Hodgepog Hardware piece and tied a little bakers twine bow around it. 

The current challenge over at Keep It Simple HERE is anything goes, so I thought I'd enter it into that challenge. 




That's all from me today, I had best get some work done! Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by :)

Simplicity!

Hey & Happy Weekend!

Have you anything nice planned this weekend? With Christmas just around the corner I am sure many of you will have parties, get togethers, shopping trips & all sorts planned. I'd love to hear about what your all up to!

I'm having a cozy weekend at home, a little crafting in the studio is planned as I really must make some Christmas cards to send to people. The majority that I have made so far have been left as samples in The Paperlane!

I have kept things simple on this non-traditional Christmas card to share with you today...




I used the current CAS(E) this Sketch! seen HERE and below for the layout of my card and whilst exploring blog land earlier in the week I came across this new to me challenge blog called Keep it simple! Currently they have a colour challenge HERE and seen below and I just love those colours. I've not used all the hues on the inspiration photo just 2 of my favourites! 






I've used the solid flower from Flower Power #1 as a modern poinsettia adding the trio of dots from Label Love: Christmas and a sentiment also from the same set. I added some shimmer to the flowers with a clear Spica pen, it's hard to see from the photos but it adds a subtle shimmer in real life.




That's all from me today, I hope you all have a lovely weekend whatever you are up to & thank you for stopping by :)
