12 Days of Christmas Inspiration & Giveaways - Day 11

 

           Hello & Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Inspiration & Giveaways - Day 11

Every Friday, I will have a new Christmas themed card or project to share with you, along with a video showing how I made it. Plus, if you watch the video you will find out what the giveaway is and how to enter for your chance to win 😊 All the videos are HERE on the Uniko YouTube Channel.

This week I have aligned myself with the weather here in the North East of the UK with two snow inspired cards. We had a dusting of snow yesterday and more overnight to satisfy a snow loving girl for a bit! I dusted off my Stunning Snowflakes and Stencil - Let it Snow for my cards today, which I had actually planned on using anyway! 

For this first card I used the Stencil - Let it Snow as the main focus, using texture paste through it and adding colour.

Join me in this weeks video as I talk about texture paste, its uses and how I added the colour. I used Concord & 9th Aqua Sky, Oceanside & Peacock, such a lovely turquoise collection. Perfect for snowflakes. My sentiment and accent snowflakes are from Stunning Snowflakes.

This led me to create this next card during the video.

This card is totally inspired by this weeks Freshly Made Sketches layout seen HERE and below. I often turn to challenges for a creative spark when I am needing that little extra creative mojo. 

The layout this week was calling snowflakes to me! So I used Stunning Snowflakes and the same colours to create this card. I used the same sentiment treatment and show in the video how I created the detailed edge.

You'll have to watch this weeks video HERE to find out what this weeks giveaway is and how to enter. I can't quite believe there is only one week left of this series!

Thanks for joining me today. Crafty Hugs

Merry Monday - Rainbow Snowflakes

Hello & Happy Monday.

I originally planned to make & share these yesterday, but I decided to enjoy more family time and simply ran out of day. So here I am, later than planned. But at least I have a trio of pretty rainbow snowflakes to share with you.

Restocks always inspire creativity and with the Stencil - Let it Snow arriving back in stock on Saturday, I was inspired to ink up one of the largest snowflakes from the stencil in a rainbow of colours. I then added Moonstone Glimmer Paste over the top. My sentiment choice is from Christmas Sentiments.

 

This then led me to use the Stencil - Large Snowflake Two which is a supersized version of the first snowflake. 

I repeated the same process using a rainbow of ink colours through the stencil and then used the same Moonstone Glimmer Paste. The sentiment is from Simply Said Blocks Christmas.

And this led to my third card. 

This time I used the stencil mask. This was a little more tricky, more so to add the paste over the top. I don't think I have pasted such a large flat area. And although it has a few little kinks to it, I think it turned out well.

That's all I have to share today, but there is LOTS more inspiration coming this week. Along with Uniko's version of Black Friday! Be sure to sign up to our newsletter via the website homepage HERE to be the first to know.
