Faking it: enamel dot styleee...

Hey!

Ready for Day 2 of the release sneaky peeks from Uniko Studio? I hope so!

Today we're giving you a sneaky peek of a new stamp set AND a fab new digital paper collection. My card today features both. Remember: all new products featured are available for purchase on April 11th!

The new set, All Occasion Sentiments features mega-sized sentiments that are perfect for providing the focal point for your projects. I love the variety of fonts in the set, and opted to play with this 'Hello' stamp for my sneaky peek project. I know, I know, gold again! I will get bored of it one day....maybe *wink*

The digital paper I've used is from the new, On the Grid digital paper collection. I love it! I'm a sucker for grids and I love the variety available in the collection. Y'know when you used to be picky about what graph paper to use at school? Should you opt for the 1cm squared type or the super duper 1mm squared type? Just me on this one? Well this collection is the same for me! Decisions, decisions....! :)

I'm also going to enter this card into the Simon Says Stamp and Show: Anything Goes Challenge. Hurry if you want to enter, the challenge closes later today! 

• When working with digital papers - try not to resize them as the design will shrink. Use a crop option instead.
• See those fancy enamel dots that are popping up on projects everywhere? Yeah, I'd love to get me some of them too! But for now, my old collection of brads are working as my faux enamel dots.  Want then to shine? Then simply add a coast of Glossy Accents to them. A great way to use up the old supplies!

Now some of the Uniko Studio DT are giving more sneaky peeks of this stamp set and collection of papers so be sure to check them out:

Christmas Cats!

Hey!

Well we've officially broken up for the Christmas Holidays! WOO HOO!!! I'm totally pooped after a crazy last day of term, lots of excited students (and adults) eating lots of yummy food and jumping around to some classic Christmas tunes. No wonder I'm feeling a little nauseous still LOL!!

So today I'm going to share with you the cards I made for some special students of mine who challenged me to make them a card with a cat on!Not really too much of a challenge when you're a secret fan of Fluffles the Cat! ;D

It's a pretty simple layout, but as you probably know, time is of the essence during the festive season!
I couldn't decide whether I wanted Fluffles to be grey...
...or brown...
...or maybe just both! LOL!When I proudly handed them over the students they had the nerve to accuse me of buying them! Ha! I took it as a compliment and explained exactly how I'd made 'em; whether they believe me or not is a different matter!

Card Recipe
Stamps: Stampendous Fluffles Tree/PTI Signature Christmas
Card: PTI Rustic Snowflake DP/Bazzill Dotted Swiss
Ink: Memento Black/PTI Fresh Snow
Accessories: Cuttlebug/Nestabilities/Promarkers/PTI Pure Poppy Polka Dot Ribbon/White Gel Pen

So I'm off now to carry on getting sorted for Christmas, just picked up some bargain Christmas crackers which are rather fancy and some yummy brandy. After all, what's Christmas without a little tipple to warm your tummy, eh?! ;D

I hope y'all have a fabulous weekend, I have more creations to upload soon - I just gotta make 'em first!

Catch ya later!
