AAA Colourful Colourboard #23

Almost Merry Christmas! 

Everyone ready for Christmas? No me either! Anyway lets not dwell on that when we can be creating something lovely with this month's colourboard from AAA Colourful.

Don't forget you have until 14th Jan to join in so if you are too busy before Christmas, you still have time afterwards.

The colours made me think of ice and snowflakes so I used Uniko's Large Snowflake Two stencil and used three of the colours from the board to ink it up. 

Plenty of fabulous inspiration over on the AAA Colourboard blog and that's where you can join in the fun too.

Much love

Uniko Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Wednesday Wreaths

Morning all, 

For my Uniko Brand Ambassador post this month I thought I would focus on the Uniko Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder stamp set. I'm bringing attention back to this as a Uniko original design as yet again a large US craft brand has helped itself to some of Bev's design elements. 

On this card I have stamped the wreath outline twice, rotating a little between stamping, and coloured with alcohol markers. To this I added some stamped and fussy cut berries and bows. Finally I stamped the sentiment and adhered using foam pads. 

Here I have offset stamped the wreath using the outline and block stamps. I have added bows and berries stamped onto coloured card and shaded using alcohol markers. The sentiment has been stamped in blue and black ink giving and offset appearance. 

For my final card I stamped the wreath using the block stamp only and onto white card. This was fussy cut before holly leaves and berries were added. The berries also have glossy accents added. Finally I used a piece of green card to add the sentiment. 

I do love these mid century modern sets, there is so much possibility with them. I'd love to see what you are inspired to make and don't forget to tag Uniko in your projects too. 

Much love

The Male Room Challenge #205 - Christmas Colours

Good morning, 

Welcome to this month's challenge from The Male Room where we have the theme of 'Christmas Colours', specifically red and green.

For this theme of red and green, you don't actually have to create a Christmas card but they are my favourite type of card to make so I did! I used the Waffle Flower Merry Wreath stamp set and matching dies. 

So, are you going to create a Christmas card or just use the theme colours to create something else? Join in over at The Male Room and check out the rest of the Design Team creations while you are there. 

Sadly I have to add to the end of this post that this will be my last one for The Male Room as life has become more busy and I have had to take the decision to reduce my crafting time, and therefore my DT commitments. I wish the rest of TMR team the best and hope to join in future challenges when I can. 

Much love
