Bunny in the Flowers

Hello Nomad friend. I couldn't resist another go with Uniko Somebunny and Kindness Blooms to help Bev celebrate her 11th anniversary.  

Loved the Fossilised Amber/Picked Raspberry distress oxide combo for the flowers but went with a stamped frame this time.  Isn't that bunny just adorable!!!

Bunny Power

Hello Nomad friends.  Uniko is celebrating their 11th anniversary.  Congrats Bev.  I really like Uniko's stamps, especially da bunny!!!  And the santa gnome dude.  But today, it's the bunny.

It's so cute.  Who wouldn't want a big soft floppy bunny like that.  I used a yellow card base and stamped the small flower from Uniko Kindness Blooms with Fossilised Amber distress oxide.   Then I stamped the stamen stamp from the same set with Picked Raspberry distress oxide ink and smooched around the card edge with the fossilised amber ink.  I die cut a rectangular panel and cut a circle out of it and added the hoppy birthday and fussy cut Somebunny.  He is stamped on patterned paper that had hearts scattered loosely on it.

I liked the flowers so I added another die cut rectangle inside the card and stamped some more.

Wearing Autumn Colours

Hello Nomad friends.  Do you ever start putting things away and see something and end up taking more out than was out in the first place???  Tonight I spotted this Uniko Background Blocks Wonky Stripes stamp and decided to make a card in shades of autumn.

I stamped the Wonky Stripes with red and orange archival ink and then coloured some of the blocks with orange and yellow distress markers.  I stamped the stamen stamp from Uniko Kindness Blooms using brown archival ink randomly over the blocks.  Then I stamped the santa from the Jolly Christmas set and coloured him in shades of green and brown.  The little thanks is from the Kindness Blooms set.

Gnome Rainbow

Hello Nomad friends.  Bev over at Uniko is celebrating 9 years.  Happy Birthday Bev.  I made you a card.

I started by stamping the gnome from Uniko Jolly Christmas stamp set.  You know it's spring when the garden gnomes appear!   I stamped them on some scraps of white card, using different archival ink and Promarkers colours for each one, and fussy cut.

I found a strip of card printed with daisies.  I cut it into a point, edged it with yellow ink and stamped 7 different words from Rubber Dance Greetings set many times and added it to a DL white card base.

I edged the card base with yellow ink and a bit extra for the ground.   Then I added my ROYGBIV gnomes.  Too cute!!!

Bunny Blues

Hello Nomad friends.  What can I say??  I love blue!!!  And bunnies.....and embossing folders!!!!  Mix em all together and ta dah..... 

A reminder for the current Let's Squash It! challenge where the theme is any Embossing folder and die/fussy cutting.  I embossed a panel of blue card with Cuttlebug Snowflake embossing folder and smeared some Salty Ocean distress ink over the embossed areas.  The diamond is a blue die cut scrap sponged with silver paint.  I stamped and heat embossed Uniko's Bunny, coloured with Promarkers and fussy cut.  I used some scraps of pale blue and white glitter card and a santa hat die for his hat.  The hohoho is a stamped scrap.

A Day In April

Hello Nomad friends.  How are you holding up in these strange times.  Some days the surreality of it all is just overwhelming.  April has a lot of significant dates for me so I have decided to document a few of them.  

I made a mini album page

I used black bazzill 12 x 12 inch sheet and Green, Blue and Silver Aztec paints and had a splat fest!!    Looks quite galactic!!!

I filled all the page pockets with my splatty background and then added that particularly fetching picture of myself.  I coloured a piece of card with green brushos and added some gold Aztec paint smears.  I die cut the leaves and added some pen details.  The flower was stamped and embossed and I added some brusho sprinkles.  I used a typewriter for the date and journaling.  I added a shrink plastic Poodle on my jacket cos I am obviously having a poodle sort of day!!!  Poodle stamp by Rubber Dance, flower stamp by Uniko.

Bunny Love

Hello Welcome.  I've made a card using Uniko's Somebunny.  Love this floppy eared lagomorpha.

Delving into scrap mountain I found a strip of blue card that I stamped the Happy Birthday on and then embossed with a basket weave embossing folder.  I also found this MME large dot patterned paper.  Since it's the month of love I used a small heart stamp and Bluebird archival ink and stamped a heart in each circle.  I stamped, embossed and fussy cut the rabbit and added him to the card.  Isn't he just adorbs.

Fun With Brusho's

Hello.  Welcome.  I've been playing with my Brusho's powders this weekend and came up with a fun technique using a drinking straw.  No, I'm not drinking my Brusho's!!  I'm going dotty with them!!

I used the background I made with Emerald, Leaf Green, Sea Green and Ost Blue Brusho's and a Uniko stamp for the flowers.  Hop over to the Colourcraft blog for all the details.  Sentiment from Rubber Dance stamps.

Santa Bunny

Hello.  Welcome.  Still need a few Christmas cards and it's dawning on me that I'm running out of time to get them made, written and posted.  So I decided to see if I could make something quick and came up with this.

I used Poppystamps Pickering Snowflake Background die to cut the gold mirror card and luckily all the bits stayed in place.  I stamped Unico Somebunny on white card, embossed and fussy cut.  I cut a santa hat using a sizzix die and covered it with glitter.  The sentiment is Rubber Dance (means Happy Christmas) stamped on a piece of white card.  His legs aren't really sticking out that far.  It's one of those optical illusion thingies.  

 

I liked it so much I made another one using Poppystamps Diamond Background this time.  Same bunny and hat.  Sentiment from Rubber Dance translates as With Wishes for a lovely Christmas.  

Two more for the Christmas card stash.

Oh, Bunny

Hello.  Welcome.  Uniko have a lovely inspiration photo of a floral suitcase in a meadow with a pot of flowers and I thought maybe if I made the suitcase bigger and added a patchwork rabbit and now I'm thinking about the YNS sketch, which is wondrously simple, and I might also have hit their colours!!, and Time Out have some wild floral wallpaper in their inspiration photo.......

OK, so he's not patchwork, but I love him anyway!!  I stamped Uniko's Somebunny on DCWV patterned paper and then coloured with Promarkers, Verdigris and Sage Green, and fussy cut.  Now some of the really observant amongst you might be thinking that that flowery wallpaper has a few misprints!  Well, that was due to my brain wave.  Can you see it waving??  You see in the Somebunny set there is this tiny little flower stamp and I looked at the dots on the paper and thought that would fit in there and LO!! it did!!  No really, I did that.  

From this........

To this!!  Crazy, but very cool.  A few were not quite centered but that's the joy of handmade.  I found a bit of grey ribbon that also has circles on it and I used the 'hoppy' from the Uniko set and a 'birthday' stamp from Stamplorations for my sentiment.

Everybody Needs Somebunny - Bunny Hop Post 9

Hello.  Welcome.  The White Rabbit has decided the bunny hop shall continue until the 4th May.  We are just having too much fun!  

 

Today we decided to celebrate christmas, cos despite it being a birthday blog hop, all occasion bunny creations welcome. 

I have used the lovely Some Bunny from Unico, and in the spirit of giving the bunnies have decided that they will send one of these lovely stamp sets to one lucky hopper.  The bunnies are getting very opinionated!  This is in addition to the prizes already announced, so I think that makes 8 candies now!!  Maybe I need to work at rounding that number up......  We'll see what we can find......

 I stamped Stamplorations Poinsettia Strip and a stamp from one of their grunge sets using Barn Door distress on a white base card.  I stamped, black embossed and fussy cut Uniko's Some Bunny.  I die cut his hat (Sizzix die) and the sentiment (Stamplorations die) using a scrap of red mirror card and a scrap of white.  Good job I keep the mirror card scraps with the mirror card cos my red card scraps appear to have vanished!!   I am blaming it on the bunnies!!!!

Thanks for stopping by.  Link up your bunny creations for a chance to win some amazing prizes.  If you haven't been following along then all my sponsors are listed on the main hop page, and I also have some other carats scattered amid the bunny hop posts.  Hugz

Adore A Bunny - Bunny Hop Post 6

Hello.  Welcome.  I am so blessed.  I would like to thank everyone who has sent me birthday wishes, birthday cards and birthday presents.  They continue to arrive and I continue to act my shoe size rather than my age!!  Ho ho ho.  Today I got this adorable bunny stamp from Bev of Uniko!

Thanks so much Bev.  

This is Uniko's Some Bunny.  He comes with a selection of sentiments and also a few small stamps including bow ties, a heart and a flower.  Uniko is generously sponsoring my birthday bunny hop.  

Beverley Brown is the owner and designer of Uniko clear stamps and paper crafting products, a small family run business.  Being an avid paper crafter and stamp addict for many years, plus completing a BA (Hons) in Textiles & Surface Design, Bev decided back in February 2012 to combine her passions and launch her own range of stamps, designer dies & digital paper collections.  Uniko's quality photopolymer clear stamps are made in the UK.

Uniko has generously offered one lucky winner their pick of any in stock £4 stamp.  That means you would be able to choose Some Bunny if you want!!  Squeeeeeee!!

Tonight I was feeling purple.  I cut a pale purple panel with Stamplorations Crazy Double Stitch rectangle die.  Then I used Poppystamps House in the Woods die to get those lovely trees and mounted my panel on a white base card.  I stamped, embossed and fussy cut Some Bunny and sat him in front of the house.  I stamped the sentiment using stamps from the Some Bunny set on a piece of the purple card and embossed with black powder.  Then I cut it using the largest Poppystamps Love Balloon die and edged it with purple chalk ink.  I used a piece of maroon embroidery thread to make sure bunny's balloon didn't float out of view.  

Thanks for dropping by.  You have until close of play on the 29th to link up your bunny/hare themed cards for a chance to win any one of many prizes.  Check out the bunny hop posts for more bunny inspiration.  Hugz
