Technique Thursday #1 - Masking

I am back today with a new series called Technique Thursday. I'll try to make a new project and a new tutorial video every Thursday from now on. And this week I am starting of with some masking. And I am masking of part of my card front to make a diagonal line from one corner to the other. And I am using the lines on my grid mat to line the tape up so that I get an even and straight line across my card, it is very fast and easy to do.

This card i also part of the new monthly challenge together with Uniko Studio. We love to have all of you join us in this challenge and share your Uniko Studio creations with us. And if you join in on the fun there are some amazing prizes up for grabs this time. How about a £20 Gift Certificate to the Winner & a Guest Design Team spot on the blog for the next challenge? And also a Top Three Spotlight & £5 Gift Certificate.

For this challenge I made this really clean and simple one layer card and I used the chrysanthemum stamp and three colors of distress ink. I saw a sketch somewhere on Pinterest a while back that inspired me to do this card and I am really pleased with the outcome.

For the Challenge this month we are having a "Clean & Simple" theme and we are combining that with a fun colour pallet. And this months colour inspiration contains some fabulous colors that I really love. It feels a bit like autumn and the colors are nice and warm. I hope you feel as inspired and I do and I can't wait to see your take on these colors.

For complete challenge rules and to access the linkup, please visit the Uniko Studio Blog. We can't wait to see your creations. Come and play along!

Super simple card - Peace on Earth - Blog Hop

Today we're having a blog hop to revisit an old stamp set from Uniko Studio and this month the set we are using is the Peace On Earth stamp set. This set has some great sentiments and images that can be used all year round.

My card for this hop is super simple and I have to be honest and say that I really tried adding more stuff to the card, but I just couldn't find anything that I liked. I tried everything from twine to enamel dots and more stamps, but I always ended up liking the card better the way is was. So I decided that it was best to just leave it really clean and simple and I do think it works.

So I hope you liked this super simple card and don't forget to check out the rest of this fun blog hop. As usual you can win some great prices if you comment along the hop. Next up on this hop is the talented Gillian.

A welcome to Bev's baby boys

So today we are having a special blog hop for a special lady and her two new baby boys. Beverly, the owner and designer of Uniko Studio, just gave birth to two boys and we wanted to celebrate that in true crafting style. And what better way to to this than by using this amazing baby stamp set designed by Beverly. I really love this set and it is just perfect for an occasion like this.

This card is very simple and all I did was stamp the teddy bear on a piece of white cardstock and then I colored it in using my Copic Markers. I also added some Wink of Stella to give it a bit of a shimmer. Then I did the same thing with the large baby sentiment and adhered all of it to my cardbase. For some extra embellishments I added a few gems and enamel dots and also a few dots of blue stickles.

So I hope you liked the card and don't forget to check out the rest of this fun blog hop. You are also more than welcome to join in and add your own creation to celebrate the arrival of Beverly's boys, you can find the linkup at the start of this hop on  the Uniko Studio Blog.
