Not All Black & White

Hey!

I'm back today with a couple more cards to share that I made on Saturday at The Paperlane during the demo...

Yep, it's negative die cutting AGAIN with the soon to be released Designer Dies BRIGHT Butterflies! This time I used some muted DP behind the butterflies and was trying out some NEW Cosmic Shimmer EP on the celebrate sentiment...

This EP is pretty awesome & is super for picking up fine details. So I then went on to make this card...

I already had the 2 butterflies die cut from the card above & so stamped the coordinating butterfly with VersaMark ink and embossed them with the Cosmic Shimmer EP. I then stamped the black card base with one of the larger doilies from Decorative Doilies - The Hands Of Time in Fresh Snow ink. I used the same sentiment from FONTiments - Birthday as in the first card above but stamped it onto some Hibiscus Burst CS for that 'POP' of colour. The butterflies are adhered to the card using foam adhesive to add dimension...

I love how the embossing powder really shows off the flower detail on the butterflies wing! I treated myself to some NEW Cosmic Shimmer Silver Glitter whilst in the shop & I can't wait to try it out on a project or two., so watch out for those here on the blog!

Hey!

Did you miss the fun on Saturday here at The Paperlane? Worry not I'm here this evening to share a few projects that we made during the Uniko Studio class using the NEW Uniko Studio Designer Dies BRIGHT Butterflies which are NOW available in shop!

I shared a couple of class cards before the class HERE and HERE but we made another using the new dies...

This card uses a mix of Uniko Studio clear stamps along with the dies; Time, Wonderful Washi, BRIGHT Butterflies & Label Love: Birthday. All of these available in the shop along with the lovely KaiserKraft heart shaped buttons! 

We also decorated some kraft bags with lovely die cut butterflies...

It might have been freezing outside on Saturday but in the shop it was just like Spring! 

The next Uniko Studio class is available for booking & is filling up FAST as we will be using the NEW April Release stamps! I'll be doing a demo from 10am-2pm using the NEW stamps and the class is from 2pm - 5pm just contact Caz to secure your spot. I'd love to see you there & have you join us for some crafty fun!

Positive Emphasis on the Negative...

Hey!

It's Bev here again, did you enjoy the peek yesterday of one card we will be making in Saturday's class? If that wasn't enough to whet you appetite I've another card to share with you today...

This is another card that we will be making in the class. This card uses the BRAND NEW Uniko Studio BRIGHT Butterflies Designer Dies which haven't officially launched over at Uniko Studio. The Paperlane customers & class attendees are getting an exclusive opportunity to see, try & buy these beauties nearly 3 weeks before official release! How cool is that?!

This card uses one of the dies to create butterfly windows to show off some lovely designer paper. This technique of emphasising the negative is so much fun & is a great way to use up those scraps of patterned paper in your stash! 

Come along to the demo & book your place in the class to learn more about this technique & have some crafty fun with us! I've some other projects planned for the class, so be sure to book your place by calling Caz via email admin@thepaperlane.co.uk

I'd LOVE for you to come along & join in on the fun!

Hope to see you there!

Hugs
