Santa for Happy Little Stampers

Having had a break with two birthday cards, I'm back in Christmas mode.  This time I have used another NBUS stamp, this cute Santa from Uniko.

I co;oured him with Copics and fussy cut him, then gave him some HOHOHO's to stand on. This from a different Uniko set which has been used before!

HLS Stencil Challenge

Welcome back to another HLS Stencil Challenge.

 

 

As always it is anything goes. I have used a stencil from Uniko that has been sitting in my stash foor sometime.

 
I used various distresss oxides to ink through the stencil. The sentiment is from a large slimline set from Simon Says Stamp. Another fairly simple and quick card. Do try to join us and check out the rest of the makes on the challenge blog as well

Less is More - Colour challenge

Now that I have no DT commitments I've been finding it hard to come up with any inspiration for making cards. So this week I have trawled the challenge sites and made a list of some I want to enter.  Whether I manage them all is another matter!  I liked the sound of the colours that Less Is More want, fuschia, yellow and grey. They said flowers to me!

I used a NBUS stamp from Uniko and stamped it in Smoky Slate then coloured it with Copics. The sentiment is from a HLS set.

A Watercolour Daffodil and Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus!

I have had this lovely Uniko daffodil stamp for at least a year and never used it, so the new challenge at Happy Little Stampers is the perfect time to use it as it falls on St David's Day! Alright so I am a little early but that's because of the time difference!

 

I blended yellow, orange and lime green ink with blender brushes to make the background, then used the same colours and a water brush to colour in the flower. It is quite a large flower so I have ended up with a 7"x7" card.

Black and White Christmas

It's Rudolph time again! I made this card some time ago but never blogged it. I stamped and embossed the images with a black sparkly embossing powder, and mounted it onto black glitter paper.
I don't seem to have spaced the rows very evenly so dont think I used the Misti.  The stamps are from Uniko. If you haven't come across Rudolph Day before - where have you been?  It all helps to get ahead for Christmas and that has to be good!

Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge

It's time for the September challenges to start over at Happy Little Stampers and the first off is the Watercolour challenge.

 

 As usual it is Anything Goes  with the option of going Tropical, which I chose to do.

I used a new Uniko background stamp, which I watercoloured with Zig markers. The toucn is from another Uniko set and the sentiment from yet another. The toucan was stamped in black and clear embossed, then coloured in. I checked online for the colours and found that some of them had blue legs!

I look forward to seeing all your tropical cards, and don't forget to check out the rest of the DT's  makes.

HLS Christmas Challenge.

Here's the third of this month's Happy Little Stampers challenges - Christmas.


I seem to be using a lot of Uniko stamps just recently and here is another one.



I stamped the panel in Versamark and embossed it with gold sparkle embossing powder. I added just a touch of colour and mounted it on red before adding it to a 5 x 7 card blank. Hope you'll be able to join in this month as there's only four more challenges to the big day!

A Zentangled card.

It's Tuesday so time for the new chllenge at Cardz for Guyz.It was my turn to choose the theme and I went for Black and White only. This gave me the opporunity to use my new interest in Zentangle on a card.
I used a Uniko background stamp then filled the triangles in with Zentangles. It was a bit of a challenge to find ones to use that were small enough! But I have to say I'm quite pleased with the result. Since making it I have seen that Bev has done something similar here.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the DTs makes.

Rudolph Day in June

It's being a while since I made a Rudolph Day card, so I made this one in plenty of time! I've used more Uniko stamps, but have gone for the clean look.

I love this little Santa! I coloured him with red sparkle pens, although the sparkle is lost in the photo. I may well make a few more of these nearer the time.

Bam!

It's time for a new challenge at Make My Monday and the theme is "Something beginning with B" I'd just got a new set of stamps and dies from Uniko and was itching to use them so my card has veered away from the obvious butterflies, bees, birds etc.

I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and lots of bright colours.  Apart from the card blank, everything else was out of the snippets drawer so I'm hopping over to the Playground as well to see what's going on there! Don't forget to pop over to the challenge blog and see what the rest of the DT have made.

Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge.

Can you believe it's July already! Where is this year going? I do know it's going too fast though, but it's time for the new challenge over at Happy Little Stampers. As always it's Anything Goes but there's an optional twist of "Birthday". Easy - right?

I did some smooshing this month! I swiped some DO Mermaid Lagoon and Cracked Pistachio on my craft mat, spritzed a little water on it and smooshed my card across it a few times until I was happy with the result. When it was dry I stamped the Uniko stamp with versamark and DO Faded Jeans then clear embossed it. I then used Mermaid Lagoon and a waterbrush to colour in parts of the stamp such as the large Birthday.
I added a strip of washi tape to the card base either side of the panel. My photo seems to have come out a bit too blue as the background behind the card is really grey!

Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to sp!end at the shop! Check out all the details HERE.

Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge

It's time for a new challenge at Happy Little Stampers Watercolour challenge, as always it is anything goes with an optional twist.

Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop!

 IF YOU USE STAMPS BY HAPPY LITTLE STAMPERS AND YOU ARE OUR RANDOM WINNER, YOUR PRIZE WILL BE DOUBLED!

I decided to use a new stencil from UNIKO that arrived just as my craft room became unusable with the Brushos that i'd eventually found after putting them in a "safe place".

I sprinkled rainbow colours over the stencil and spritzed liberally with water. I did use all the rainbow colours apart from indigo, but unfortunately the vellum is hiding the green and yellow!

Do come and join in the fun and check out what the rest of the team have made.

Floral Thank you.

The new challenge at Cardz for Galz is "Rubber Stamping" lots of choice there for you.

I have chosen to make a one layer card using a NBUS Uniko stamp set.I coloured the flowers in with watercolour pencils. The card is textured so it has a nice finish to it.

Make sure you check out all the inspiration on the challenge blog.

Cardz for Galz - Think Pink!

I'm delighted to say that I am now a Cardz for Galz Design Team member. This is my first card for them.
 I liked the blue card I made HERE so much that I decided to make a pink one as well. But I did pretty it up a bit with some flowers and pearls.The stamps are from Uniko and the flowers are ancient from my stash. When I first started cardmaking I must have acquired quite a lot and have rarely used them. Dont forget to check out the rest of the DT's makes.

Shades of Blue

Well I managed to get into my craft room while the builders were elsewhere in the house and make my DT card for Cardz 4Guyz. The theme is Shades of Blue so I decided to use some new stamps from Uniko. I coloured the background stamp with 3 shades of blue Copics, the stamped the Hugs sentiment in a dark blue over the top using the Misti of course.


I also coloured the card blank with one of the Copics to make sure it matched my panel. Don’t forget to visit my teamies over on the challenge blog for lots more inspiration.

Embossed Birthday

I hope you have all had a good Easter weekend, but it's not over yet we still have today to enjoy!  It's time for a new challenge at Make My Monday and Silvi has chosen Embossing, hot or dry!


When Uniko released this stamp I had to have it as I thought it would be great for all sorts of birthdays, especially male ones, and I though it was perfect for this challenge. I stamped it in black and clear embossed it, then added some colour with Copics. I double mounted it onto black and red card before adding it to a white card blank.

I do hope you'll try and join in and if you need more inspiration head on over to the challenge blog where the rest of the DT have some lovely creations for you.
