12 Days Of Christmas Inspiration & Giveaways - Day 9 Season Of Beauty

 

 

 Hello & Happy Monday.

Today I thought I would start the week with some festive florals and a stamp set which is often overlooked, Season Of Beauty. I definitely think it is a clear stamp set that needs to be seen in action to see its creative potential.

I thought a lovely frame idea would create a fun focal point, so I used a rectangle die to create a frame from a piece of white card measuring 10.5 x 14cm. I then mirror stamped the foliage on my frame by using my stamping platform.

I adhered the frame to my card bas using foam adhesive and then added a couple of the layered Poinsettia flowers, one tucked in the frame and then one outside. I stamped the flowers in Ballet Slipper, Poppy and Cranberry. The foliage and leaves are stamped in Evergreen, Avocado and Parsley. 

As usual I will have a video over on Uniko's YouTube Channel with another card using this set later today. I am having a couple of technical issues and waiting for some IT assistance from my husband!

The giveaway today is the Season Of Beauty Clear Stamp Set. My question to you today is, are you green fingered and do you have festive indoor plants like the poinsettia?

Festive Floral Friday - Modern Poinsettia Wreath

Hello & Happy Friday.

It's the first day of the school holidays and it is pretty much a washout! The Beans have been quite happy playing gadgets and generally enjoying some downtime. So I have taken the opportunity to be in the studio and getting creative. I've all the upcoming release on my desk, so there is a bit of creative chaos happening.

Anyway, I've been wanting to create another modern poinsettia card for a while and as my wreath builder stencil was out in my MISTI, I got to stamping one using the solid flower from Flower Power #1.

Once I stamped all the flowers, alternating between Poppy and Cranberry inks from Concord & 9th, I added a trio of dots using a little cluster from Originally Organic Additions. The filled the centre of the dots using a black fine liner. Lastly, you know I love a bit of fussy cutting, so cut the wreath out!

With all these new goodies in reach, I couldn't resist adding a sentiment and bow embellishment from one of the stamp sets. It was a perfect match made in heaven 😉

It's almost time for swimming lessons and if this rain continues at this rate, we will be swimming to the swimming lessons!

Merry Monday

Hey & Happy Monday!

I'm back today with another Merry Monday and card to add to my Christmas card stash. Today I thought I would share something from the most recent Uniko release, using Season Of Beauty.

This clear stamp set has so many possibilities and I have so many ideas and creations to share with you, using it. For todays card I went for a one layer beauty using the modern poinsettia...

I started this card by stamping the sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black ink, my favourite for sentiments. I then stamped the outline poinsettia to fill the card, adding the leaves and inside layers of the flower.

Lastly I added the flower centres stamped in black and then some glitter using a glue pen to add some Christmas sparkle to the leaves.

That's all the Merry I have to share with you today, but I will be back this week with more to share both here and also on the website blog.

Thanks for stopping by today.
