Uniquely Creative: Hip Hip Hooray (April Stamp & Colour Take #2 )

Last week I shared two fun interactive cards using Uniquely Creative's April Stamp & Colour Kit. Today I'm sharing a few more cards using this kit. These cards are probably my favourite makes for this month - aside from being very cute monsters I really enjoyed exploring my colouring technique with my Copic Markers.

Here is the first card:
This was actually the last card I created in this series - but it's my favourite so its being shared first! The stamp set is called Out of this World and I've paired it up with Uniquely Creative's: Hip Hip Hooray dies. 

Each monster was coloured in with Copic markers then cut out with my Silhouette Cameo. I then repeated the same process with their little party hats with the same colours I had used for the monsters. To create my card base I die cut the 'Hip Hip Hooray' die on black card and filled in the gaps by ink blending on scrap white card then adhering them to the back.  I adhered my little monsters, added some googly eyes. Lastly I stamped my sentiment and embellished the card with sequins. I've also added machine sewn stitching to the card.
Copic Colours: 
Monster #1:YG0000/YG00/YG01/YG03/YG05/YG06/YG07 
Monster #2: RV00/RV000/RV02/RV04/RV06/RV09
Monster #3: Y21/Y23
Monster #4: BG000/BG01/10/BG11/BG15
The extra fun part of this card...!!! I added a wobble action spring to monster #2 (the one with the googly eyes)... 
Check out the cute wobble action!

The next two cards I used the Uniquely Creative: Small Alphabet (Uppercase) dies to create my background. Aside from switching colours on the monsters I kept the colour scheme the same. I used Lawn Fawn Inks: Merman/Plastic Flamingo/Butter/Celery Stick. These were blended behind the negative space of the die. The sentiments were heat embossed in white on black card and I utilised the H and the I together by die-cutting them in black and adhering them to the card with foam tape.  
 Of course!...I also added googly eyes.
Because I had quite a few letters left over from the card above I decided to use them for my next card. I also added letters from the lowercase Alphabet die. I blended ink for a gradient look in the same ink colours mentioned above. I then positioned them on my card base like a jig saw puzzle. These were adhered to my card base. I then added the monster and the sentiments and embellished the card with sequins.

Hope you enjoyed my cards today!

Growing in Unity: Day 1

Image
Yippee!! After waiting 11 months, 10 days, it's finally my week to share my Unity cards. 5 whole days of inspiration is coming your way...oh! and lets not forget the sponsored giveaway by Unity at the end of my week - a grab bag with 25 random stamps! My first card I decided to use one of my favourite sets - I actually combined two (no, three!) Unity sets that really go well together. How do you use your Unity stamps? Would you mix and match them? When I first starting stamping (15 years ago) the thought of mixing sets would make me cringe - but now... no problems! I think it's a great way to make the most of your stamp collection. Here are my cards using Unity: Tumbleweed Houses , On My Way and Gypsy Journal (sentiment only) I coloured the images using a few of my ZIG brush pens and cut them out with my silhouette (for those who are visiting me for the first time - I try to avoid fussy cutting!) I added a few sewing machine details and adhered the hous...

A Spring Inspired Card...

Image
This week (or should I say the last few weeks) have been super crazy busy! We got good news, my Hubby renewed his work contract with the option to move back home to Adelaide (which of course we jumped at!) So...we are now packing our belongings in to boxes and the worst room is...come on! have a guess! :) Yup!! My craft room... But its mostly packed up, with the exception of a few stamps, paper packs, a handful of embellishments and my copic markers.  Last week, in between all the craft room packing (I got distracted a few times!) I created this card, its from Unity's ...bunches of love stamps. I decided to make a few, I hate having left over paper, so I tend to create a card (generally for someone's birthday coming up) and then duplicate it so I have a stash of cards for those occasions you forget someones birthday coming up!  This was the perfect stamp set to do this! While stamping, I wished I had that misti tool Ive seen a few times now through youtube videos,...
