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!

Wishing you a White Christmas | Concord & 9th | Turnabout Stamp | VIDEO

Must admit I am now the proud owner of several Turnabout Stamps from Concord & 9th. I might have a little weakness for them. 

Today I am sharing a couple of cards with the "Snowflakes" turnabout stamp and I am also sharing two videos with you. 

The first video shows & explains the basics for using a turnabout stamp and the second video shows how I made one of the cards. 

This card was my test card and actually ended up only stamping it 3 times with the turnabout stamp. By not stamping the 4th time I got some free space to stamp my Danish sentiment. 

The sentiment means "Sending snowflakes your way, wishing you a white Christmas". 

In this video you can watch my introduktion to using turnabout stamps. First thing is that you have to prepare your stamp before using it. This I am showing you how to in the video.

On the second card I have stamped the turnabout stamp all 4 times and in different colours per each stamping. Basically you can choose from 1 to 4 colours to stamp with. 

Here is a video of how this card got created.

Here the sentiment is also Danish and means "Merry Christmas".

The diecut sentiment is created by using tapesheets and a piece of foil paper. By taping the foil to a piece of cardstock I have created my own foil cardstock. 

2018 is near it's end and 2019 is knocking.
Best wishes to you all for the new year.

Pia

Merry Christmas | Gummiapan | Clearly Besotted

Merry 2nd Advent :)

Heat embossing is something I should do more often on my cards. The look and the result is all worth it. 

Here are a couple of Christmas cards I have made...

This first card is made using Liquid Platinum embossing powder and glitter gift wrapping paper which matches the platinum perfectly. 

The second card is kept in gold. Here the glitter cardstock really sparkles!

For the tree and sentiment I have used Ranger super fine gold embossing powder. 

To give the trees a touch of colour I have added little drops of Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Hugs,

Pia
