Im late, Im late.. for a very important date..

Hey everyone

And welcome..

My apologies, I'm late with today's post.. I had it all planned and yet it totally slipped my mind..

But hopefully better late than never.

I'm very excited for this post as it wasn't just me crafting. Me and my youngest daughter had a play together with her favourite Colourfic stamp. Abbie is 9 so I guess its no surprise that the unicorn is her favourite lol..

We both used the A6-flying unicorn set and I also used the A6-unicorn text set as well as the A6-Tiny hearts background stamp.

You can fins all the stamps in the STORE.

 

Abbie simply stamped and coloured hers with gel pens.
Me, I stamped my unicorn on to watercolour card stock and used distress ink (well watered down) to colour. My background is stamped and heat embossed with a iridescent powder. I then simply layered my background onto the card blank, stamped my greeting and finished with a few gems..

And that is it from me for today.

Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

 Happy Crafting

Unicorn Shaker Card - A6 Flying Unicorn Stamp Set

Good Morning everyone,

How quickly are the weeks flying past.  My DT Blog for today is using the following stamp sets:-

A6 Flying Unicorn
A6 Season Text Background

I started by using a 6x6 blank card.  I cut a out a 5.75 square mat out of floral backing paper and attached it to card.  I stamped the Seasons Text Background and the Flying Unicorn onto a piece of white card and embossed it using sparkle embossing powder.  Using a guillotine I cut the background into small squares and matted them onto slightly larger pink squares, then attached them evenly to the card.  I used the same pink card to cut out a frame using some dies from my stash.  Using the larger of the 2 dies, I also cut out a piece of acetate and adhered it to the wrong side of the frame using red liner tape.  I also used this die to cut out a piece of contrasting paper to add to the back of the shaker.  To make the shaker piece, I used Pinflair Gel all the way round the frame, then added some sparkles to the centre of the frame, making sure they didn't stick to the gel.  I added the backing piece on top of the pinflair gel and left it to dry.  While the shaker was drying, I coloured the unicorn and also stamped some of the little flowers that come with the stamp set.  Once the shaker was dry, I attached the unicorn and its horn to the front of the shaker then glued it to the card. To finish off I stamped and embossed a  "Happy Birthday" sentiment, layered it onto pink card and attached to the card.  Hopefully you can see the shaker part a little better in this photograph.

Thank you for stopping by.  See you next week.

Unicorn Wings - A6 Flying Unicorn Stamp Set

Hello Again

Alice here, I had a little play with the A6 Flying Unicorn stamp sets from Colourific.  This is a great little set of stamps and will be loved by every little girl.  To find these and lots more stamps click here.

To make this card, I used distress oxide inks, and made 2 rainbow backgrounds out of 5.5 square paper.  I used the Border and Stems to add a border round one of the sheets, then cut it into 4 equal squares.  

I cut out 2 circles, one from the 2nd rainbow background and the other out of white card.  I cut a smaller circle from the middle of the white circle to make a frame and stamped the border around the circle.  I embossed the rainbow circle with a star embossing folder.

I attached the 4 small square evenly onto a 6 x 6 card.  I matched up the colours of the rainbow circle, raised it with pads and attached onto the card.  

I stamped the Unicorn and horn, and coloured in with copics, and used a glitter pen over the top.  I stamped and coloured the Unicorns mane again and decoupaged it on top of the original.  I shaped the Unicorn and attached to the circle.  

I stamped out 5 of the little flowers and coloured them in with the same colours as the rainbow background and stuck them around the circle.  

I hope you like it xx
