Uniko's Christmas *almost* in July release day!

Good morning friends and welcome back to my blog. Today is the day that you can purchase the new goodies from Uniko's Christmas *almost* in July release. I've had so much fun this week as brand ambassador and I do have one more card for you using the new release products. Before I show you my card I thought I would re-cap the new products that are now available.

And that wraps up the new Release. I hope you love the products as much as I do. But, as always, the Brand Ambassadors are here to tempt and inspire you a little bit more.

For my final card I used the Winter Garlands clear stamp to create a get well card.  I went with a horizontal A2 card for a change and I think it turned out great.  I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by stamping 3 of the garlands onto alcohol marker friendly card and coloured them with my Promarkers.  I didn't use my usual green combo and this time went with a more olive toned colour scheme.  I initially had a different idea in my head for this card so fussy cut all three garlands and also separated them into 3 smaller pieces.  My idea was initially to have a wreath style arrangement but didn't want to make a Christmas card as I wanted to showcase how this particular stamp is suitable for all year round.  I cut a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and arranged the garlands coming in from the sides leaving a space in the centre for my sentiment.  In hindsight I could have just stamped them directly onto the card in this arrangement but hey-ho the fussy cutting wasn't too bad.  I added the garlands with liquid glue.  I stamped the get well message in the centre with black ink and also added black spatter.  I added some scrap white card behind the panel before adhering it to my card base with double sided tape.  For the inside I cut another white panel and as I had two pieces of the garland left over adhered them to the top left and bottom right corners with liquid glue.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink and also added some black spatters just in the corners.  The panel was added to my card base with double sided tape. 

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Alphabet challenge - H is for horticulture 

CAS on Friday challenge - get well

Colorful Options challenge - option 2 yellow-green spectrum

Girlz and the Art of Letters challenge - Letter G (get well, green)

Paper Rocks Scissors - I fussy cut the leaves

Simply Clean & Simple challenge - ATG CAS optional theme nature

Uniko's June release - release day!

Good morning friends and welcome back to my blog. Today is the day that you can purchase the new goodies from Uniko's June release. I've had so much fun this week for my first release as brand ambassador and I do have one more card for you using the new release products.  Before I show you my card I thought I would re-cap the new products that are now available.

And that wraps up the June Release. I hope you love the products as much as I do. But, as always, the Brand Ambassadors are here to tempt and inspire you a little bit more.

For my final card I used both the Ink & Flip: Triangulate stencil and the Layering Modern Blooms 4 piece stencil to create my fun card.  I went with a classic yellow & black colour combo and I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I took an extra photo to try and capture the dimension:

I began by stencilling the Ink & Flip: Triangulate stencil using black ink onto white card.  On a separate piece of white card I stencilled the Layering Modern Blooms flowers and leaves using yellow and grey ink.  I'm not as proficient at fussy cutting at Bev but I fussy the flowers and leaves and also decided to fussy cut the triangles so that they were all separate. I took a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and after adding foam squares behind the triangles adhered them so that they created a border on my panel.  I felt at this point that the inner portion was a little plain so took the Quilted stencil and some yellow ink and partially stencilled the design.  I added foam squares behind the flowers and added them to the bottom of the panel; the leaves were added with liquid glue and I stamped a sentiment at the top with black ink.  I added some scrap white card behind the panel and adhered it to my card base with double sided tape.  For the inside I used some left over flowers, leaves and triangles and created a border at the bottom of my card using liquid glue.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink and adhered the panel to my card base with double sided tape. 

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Allsorts challenge - bees, blooms or birds

Color Hues challenge - yellow and black

Paper Rocks Scissors challenge - use paper and/or scissors (I fussy cut everything)

The Pick 3 challenge - yellow, frame, sentiment

TGIF challenge - popping it up (everything except the leaves are popped up with foam squares)
