Guest Dersign Gig for Uniquely Creative May Mini Kit

 Hi there. I'm so happy to be Guest Designing for Uniquely Creative again this month.  The kit includes a gorgeous  stamps and co-ordinating dies with a gorgeous teacup, flowers, a tag and sweet sentiments.  Also included in the kit are beautiful papers, a stencil, printed sentiments and wooden laser cut elements. 

Here is my first card...

The images were stamped, embossed and coloured with Zig Markers.

I stencilled Matte Texture paste on the white card and when dry splattered some blue ink. Next I stamped and die-cut the sentiment which is from the Butterfly Mini Kit. 

Uniquely Creative Products Used: UC1842 Teacup Builder Stamp set, UCD1987 Teacup Builder Die, Stencil, UC1810 Butterflies Stamp Set (sentiment) UCD1923 Butterflies Die              

My next card was Paper-Pieced using patterned paper from the kit.

1/ Compare all the patterned papers to chose which 3 look best together

2/ Stamp the teacup on each of the 3 images. 

3/ Fussy cut the required pieces along the black line

4/ Ink the edges of the cut pieces with a black marker (from behind) or sponge with black ink.

5/ Stamp the teacup again on white card and die-cut.

6/ Adhere the fussy-cut pieces to the die-cut teacup.

7/ Stamp the tag and sentiment on the white card and die-cut. Stamp bow on striped paper and fussy-cut. Adhere to tag.

8/ Die-cut background paper, matt with black card and mount on white card base. Add sequins.Adhere teacup and tag to card.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge (April Reminder)

 It's the 3rd Saturday of the month, so we have more inspiration for you at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge. The theme is 'ANYTHING GOES' or the optional twist is 'CUTE'.

I'm still on a 'Paper Piecing' kick and I've found myself reaching for patterned paper or coloured card as a background lately, which is a nice change for me.

I just love this polka dot paper I found in my scraps box - I think it's perfect for a gift box.

Stamp: Penny Black 'A Present'.
