Hi everyone. I've been quite busy with various things lately so not much crafting happening here until yesterday when I suddenly had a craving to make some cards and join in a few challenges. The newly released Uniko stamps which were part of my 'stamps for a year' win had arrived last week and they definitely motivated me to get crafty.
First up uses two of the new release stamps from Uniko 'Large Background Tropical Paradise' and 'Wild'. I stamped straight onto a coloured card base and then added a little stamped and die-cut giraffe from MFT 'Wild About You'. A really quick and easy make.
I shall enter this in the following challenges
Penny Black and More challenge 'for boys and men'
Simon Says Monday challenge 'happy birthday'
Simon Says Wednesday challenge 'anything goes'
AAA Birthday challenge 'for the boys'
Next up is a stamp set from May's Uniko release called 'Mid Century Modern Florals' which I've only just got round to inking up. There are so many stamps in this set and so many ways in which you can use them..... so instead of thinking of how to do it, I just inked and stamped and came up with this. I've left it without a sentiment for the time being as I'm not sure whether to make it for a birthday or a cheery get well card.
I made this for the Uniko challenge 'flowers with the optional twist die-cuts'
This is a quick CAS one layer card using a LOTV stamp coloured with Promarkers and the sentiment is from another of the new release Uniko sets 'sentiments outlined'
This is for the following challenges
AAA Cards CAS challenge 'made in minutes + optional twist summer'
Time Out challenge 'relaxation'
My last card is for Pixie's Snippets challenge 'use your snippets'. I used snippets of white card for stamping flowers from the Uniko 'Passiflora' set and cut them with the matching dies. The sentiment (leftover from a decouplage sheet) is stuck onto a snippet of coloured card.
That's it from me for now. I'm itchng to have a play with the other Uniko stamps I got but will have to wait a little while as my granddaughter needs a black cat costume making - so I'm having to be supergran with my sewing machine.
Thanks for popping by today.... I really appreciate your visits and the time you take to leave a comment.
