Countdown to Christmas Day 8 & Sneak Peek 2

Hey!

How are we all this fine day? Are you having a good weekend? I sure hope you are. I'm having an awesomely good weekend filled with lots of excitement *insert BIG GRIN*! Not only am I counting down to Christmas but I am also counting down to the December Release here at Uniko Studio - YAY! For the final Sneak Peek of the release keep reading to the end of the post. First I have my next Countdown to Christmas project to share with you.

It's another snowflake card and a quick mass produceable one too! I just can't make a decision on a final design of Christmas card, I think it's due to a couple of things, firstly that I've still to decide on gifts for people and secondly I'm always thinking, 'but what if the next design I do is better'. Then I will have regret and wished I done those instead.

The current challenge HERE over at Addicted to CAS was part inspiration for this card as the theme is snowflakes. Also I just can't seem to put the Uniko Studio Stunning Snowflakes or Designer Dies Snowflakes away!

I'm sure I will settle on a design soon, time is ticking by WAY too fast and Christmas will be here before I know it. I will have more regret if I don't make anything to give to people. Ok, enough of my rambling let's see what Sneak Peek 2 is...

This little set has SO many possibilities just on its own, but pair it with yesterdays peek for even more. PLUS this little set breathes new life into a previously released and popular clear stamp set - any guesses to what set that might be?

That's all from me today, but for the next 3 days you will be getting TWO posts a day as I continue the Countdown to Christmas & I get to formally introduce each of the December Release products available from the website only HERE on December 11th at 9am GMT.

Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by & for all your lovely comments which are truly appreciated :)

Countdown to Christmas Day 5

Hey!

Is it really day 5? Oh my Christmas Day is only 20 sleeps away & I still have quite a bit to do AND there is SO much excitement just around the corner here at Uniko Studio too with the December Release - Sneak Peeks begin on Saturday! 

Anyway, yesterday I said I had a little something different to share with you and here it is...

What do you think of my little Christmas tree decoration? Below is a close up of the sparkly snowflake detail...

I love sewing and making stuff but I don't always have the time or patience to make them! But, as it's the Countdown to Christmas and it incorporated snowflakes I made time and TBH I throughly enjoyed myself! I'm thinking of making a couple more of these in different colour combos and giving them as little gifts to some special friends. 

They are super simple to make too. I started out with 100% wool felt (Papertrey Ink) in Aqua Mist and I die cut 2 hearts using the Sizzix Framelits Heart collection (the second largest). I then die cut a Vintage Cream medium Uniko Studio Designer Die Snowflake. I used 100% wool felt as I tried using the cheap felt I had in my stash but the snowflake simply fell to pieces as it was too flimsy.

I then placed the snowflake on the top heart and used some simple hand stitching using embroidery floss to secure the snowflake in place. I added some Swarovski beads to add some sparkle along the way too. Once the snowflake was in place I secured the hanging ribbon and then used a blanket stitch to sew the hearts together. As I neared the end of my sewing I padded the heart out with some toy stuffing. 

That's all from me today, I hope that you have enjoyed todays inspiration?! I will be back tomorrow with more to share, until then thank you for stopping by today :)

Decorative Doilies!

Hey!

Happy Friday Eve as Aimes would say, I am liking that phrase as I am looking forward to the weekend, it's been a long & challenging week here in the studio! 

Also, it is World Card Making Day on Saturday - YAY! A whole day dedicated to making cards and all things paper crafting. Have you any crafting planned? 

I have, I am at The Paperlane where I will be doing a demo from 10am - 2pm and a card making class from 2pm - 5pm. There are still a couple of places left for the class, I'd LOVE you to join us for some paper crafting fun :)

Anyway, on to todays card...

Yep, I dusted off those doilies again to create another CAS Christmas card easy to mass produce, when I realise I am running out of time & haven't been as organised as I planned! This time I have turned them into bauble doilies which sparkle, you have to have a bit of sparkle at Christmas, don't you think?

I used 3 of the doilies from the set and stamped them in Silver pigment ink & heat embossed them with some stardust embossing powder. The string is hand drawn with a ruler and the bows are stamped from Label Love: Birthday.

That's all from me today, I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday & thank you for stopping by today :)
