Happy Wednesday ....... Only joking ...... it's a little bit early for me.  Although as the saying goes ....... it's 5 o'clock somewhere! I am however playing along with this month's  Twofer Card Challenge   hosted by the lovely Darnell.  As you can see the theme for July is ....... Beverage The idea is to create TWO cards, for TWO different occasions using the same stamp and/or die ...... a Twofer! I've gone with the same stamp.  I've used the Stampin Up! set called Half Full ,  and I've created a birthday card, and a Christmas card.  Both designs would be great for guys too ...... which is always good! Both are very CAS designs, in fact the birthday one would be one layer, except for the added die cut ...... I simply stamped the wine glasses in the centre of my card and coloured using ZIG markers and a waterbrush .... easy! The sentiment (from the same SU set) was stamped directly underneath, and I also added a nice shiny die cut ..... layered to ra...

Happy weekend ...... It's been a busy day today ..... I've been having fun with a workshop.  Eight lovely ladies playing with stencils, inks and rubber stamps ........ it's always fun when we get together.   There was also tea and cakes involved too .... yum!   More about all that some other time though. It's time to launch the latest Happy Little Stampers ATC Challenge ..... and as you can see this month it's all about Sparkle.   There's nothing that sparkles quite like a diamond ...... so that's my take on this month's theme (one this size would be nice!) I started out by splattering a piece of white cardstock with gold and silver metallic inks ..... I used the Delicata re-inkers for this.  I poured a tiny bit of the ink onto my craft sheet, and spritzed it with water.  I then picked up the ink with an old paint brush and splattered over the card .... great fun! Once it was dry, I cut the card into three pieces, slightly smaller than ATC si...

Good morning .... Welcome to Monday! I hope you've had a nice weekend. Let's start the week with a look at more of the new releases coming from Uniko.  There's still a few more new designs to show you, and then they'll all be available on the website on Wednesday.  Any favourites yet? Today is Day 4 of the product introductions and we have a bit of a music theme going on. There's a cute little stamp set ..... Life is a Song. Equaliser from the Background Blocks range and a fab co-ordinating Equaliser stencil with all sorts of possibilities. Todays products will make great cards for guys I think .... and teenagers. And of course anyone who is into their music.  Don't forget to pop over to the Uniko Blog  for more inspiration and great ideas from the rest of the DT. See what I mean ..... definitely one for the boys ..... I've simply used Distress Oxide inks through the stencil onto black card .... easy! A little bit of Glossy Accents over the top gives a go...
