Be A Unicorn | CAS-ual Fridays Stamps | Black & White

"Always be yourself unless you can be a unicorn then always be a unicorn"

Love this sentiment from a stamp set from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. This card is quick and simple! I could have left out shading the unicorn but I just thought it needed a little touch. Here I have used a watercolour brush with a gray ZIG Clean Colour pen.

It just had to be glitter with the unicorn, so I added this lovely champagne coloured glitter paper to the back base. The cardfront is adhered to the cardbase using 3D squares for a little dimension.

I also covered the entire unicorn with Wink of Stella. Again - it just has to be glitter when a unicorn is in the picture, right :)

Be a unicorn!

Love & Congratulations | Wedding Card | Concord & 9th

This may be a sustainable handmade card! Almost 50% of the materials used is recycled cardstock from gift bags and boxes. 

I love to save the cardstock from pretty gift wrapping boxes and bags. 'Cause this is better off being recycled on a card than being trown out. Okay, here at our home we do actually make sure to to hand everything possible into recycling - glass, plastic, paper and card boxes. It's the little things that can make a huge difference for our environment. 

Enough said about that - let's get back to the card in question :)

This card is a DT project for the Danish craft webshop Hobbyboden.dk. We had a theme about "White in White" but we were allowed to add a bit of one colour. Here I have choosen to add some gold.

The Congratulations sentiment is heat embossed with WOW Metallic Gold Sparkle and this has such a gorgeous shimmer to it. Love it! Some glitter embossing powders has so much glitter in it that it sheds glitter afterwards. This doesn't, YAY. 

The Love diecut from Concord & 9th is cut in recycled cardstock. And so is the card matte. 

Sometimes I use craft foam instead of 3D foam. This time I decided to use a scallop nested rectangle die for the craft foam. This way the foam peeks out underneath the card matte with a pretty scallop edge. 

I could have diecut the scallop die in cardstock and then added the craft foam underneath for dimension. But this way I skipped a step and avoided using extra cardstock. Now, that's cool if you ask me :)

I have scattered a few little glitter hearts on the cardfront. To adhere these I've used my new Jewel Picker Tool. Oh My Gosh, this is a fantastic tool. It works soooo good.

May you have a sparkling day, 
Pia

Joyous Holiday! | Sunny Studio | Traditional Christmas Colours | Gold Glitter

I tend not to throw things away 'cause perhaps it could be used for something. This is one of these examples. 

This gold glitter christmas tree is a gift tag from christmas eve. It would be such a shame to just throw it in the trash bin, right!

If you have a tree die and some gold glitter cardstock you can easily re-create this card.

All the red Nuvo Christal drops are placed in holes in the christmas tree. Because it was a gift tag there was a hole at the top of the tree close to the star. So I just made more holes creating a pattern on the tree. 

These holes I filed up with red Nuvo Crystal drops. Simple and easy!

Just remember to let the nuvo drops dry over night. I didn't this time, so the top of the drops has gotten a litte squeeze. 

Adding a sentiment and some red striped designpaper....voila....you've got a christmas card.

Have a wonderful day, 

Pia
